Couldn't have picked a better nursery for my son. The staff are absolutely amazing with both my son and me. I was always updated with everything. Very understanding, supportive, friendly and professional place. My son loved it and I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future.

My children have attended Spring Nursery since 2019 including the duration of the pandemic. It has been an immensely valuable experience for both of my children. The staff (front line) are excellent and deliver a fantastic level of care and support. Spring Nursery's ethos and attitude towards early
SEN support are fantastic and I was fully supported in getting a relevant diagnosis for my son. Both kids have made amazing progress and wouldn't be where they are without Spring! All the staff down to the cleaning staff are amazing.

Our daughter has had a wonderful experience over her past three years at nursery. Spring Nursery has always been there with a smile and a cuddle and for a child starting after months of Covid quarantine she has blossomed! Spring Nursery have loads of activities, supportive staff and has been a great
nursery, which we will all miss a lot as she moves on to school.

After viewing a number of different settings in our area, we knew that Spring was perfect for our little girl from the moment we walked through the door!
They have so many different areas for the children to explore and even incorporate the children’s specific interests into their daily play which
has been lovely! My daughter runs into nursery excited each day without even looking back, she loves all of the staff who seem really passionate about her learning and development. We would definitely recommend Spring Nursery and have even kept our daughter in whilst I am back on maternity as she loves going so much!

I couldn’t have found a better nursery for my son and daughter to attend. My son was just 10 months old when he started and I can see how much this nursery has brought him on, he really loves going! My daughter is 3 and has just started this week, she has done two sessions and is just in love with the
place! Keeps asking when she is going back! The setting is fantastic for the ages it caters for and the staff are absolutely lovely! We just love this nursery. Thank you for everything you do for my children, it’s really settling as a parent to know when you drop your kids off they are in good hands and are having so much fun!

Spring Nursery Blaydon has been so supportive and helpful with my son. He has separation anxiety and needs extra support to help him settle. They have been brilliant in helping us do his sessions in short sessions so he can get used to going. He is getting much better being there, and I feel fully supported
and confident they are helping him adapt.

Spring Blaydon are so supportive of my little boy, who has a developmental delay. From introducing him to the team last year where he refused to even open his eyes on a visit, we have seen so many changes in him. It's great to see the pictures of what he gets up to, and it’s lovely when the staff get
just as excited as us when he achieves something or does something new. It’s great that he receives so much encouragement, and the feedback at each pickup shows just how much the staff are also invested in him and his development.

My son currently attends this nursery, as his older brother did 2-years ago. We moved house to a different area 3-years ago, but I would not change them to a different nursery.
The staff go above and beyond to help and support any situation, and their communication is fantastic! My son had been struggling
with some developments, which are now improving massively through the help of staff at Spring Nursery.
I feel more than happy and comfortable leaving my child in their care. I can't thank them enough for the help and support they have given to my children.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
It's really hard to write a review on a setting that I have never been allowed to see. My child is often late to come out after her session and on drop-off, we are normally waiting around for up to 15 minutes. The staff are really polite and I love the occasional feedback we get via the app (although
this should happen after every session).

One of the best nurseries around! Not only has my little boy come on leaps and bounds since starting Spring almost 2-years ago, but they’ve also been very supportive within his life outside of nursery!
Brilliant staff and an amazing environment.

The staff at Spring Nursery Blaydon are all absolutely fantastic at their jobs. I've had two previous children attend this nursery, and my third and final also attends this nursery too! The staff are always happy to help with any issues and always have a smile on their faces upon arrival, which makes
it easier for the children to attend. I looked at previous nurseries for my first child, and the second I walked into Spring Nursery Blaydon, I knew it was the best place for my children to thrive.

My little girl has attended Spring Blaydon since September, she loves going to nursery and runs straight in once the doors open. The staff pay attention to her interests, and the app is great for seeing what they have been up to and the progress they're making.

My son started here in September and has settled in so well due to staff being so welcoming and supportive. He even asks if he can go to nursery on the weekend he enjoys it that much! Having regular updates from staff on the app is useful and puts your mind at ease. So glad we chose Spring for our little
boy!

Fantastic nursery and lovely staff. They have helped both me and my daughter get used to going to nursery. Love how I can see what she's eaten on the app and the observations of what she's been doing and the progress she's making. I feel she is very well looked after when she is there.

My son has recently just started at this nursery and I could not be happier with the whole experience.
Leaving your child as a parent is really tough, every single member of staff have gone out of their way to make myself and my son feel comfortable while going through this new change.
My son is
comfortable and already has a lovely bond with his key worker. I am over the moon with this nursery and really look forward to seeing my son grow and excel here. Thank you all so much for making this transition easy and relaxing.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Blaydon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.883 for Spring Nursery Blaydon is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.883
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spring Nursery Blaydon is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
