I can't fault this nursery in any way. They have given me the confidence and reassurance I needed. Both my children attend Spring and they both love it. My son needs extra support in various areas and the staff have worked alongside myself and professionals to make sure he reaches all his targets. My
daughter has thrived so much, once was very shy but now she is the most confident happy little girl. I can't thank all of Spring staff enough. Brilliant.

Couldn’t fault any of the staff that work at the nursery, my daughter loves going here. Her key person has helped me and my daughter to feel very welcome and secure here. Since starting she has come on leaps and bounds with her communication and confidence. I often recommend this nursery to other parents
who are looking for a place for their children.

Lovely friendly ladies, my son is always happy to see them and loves going to nursery so much so he asks to go on weekends! He's come on so much since starting in January 2018 and his confidence with everything has improved massively. I couldn't recommend Spring Nursery enough.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Spring Blaydon since she was around 18 months old. My husband and I decided when I returned to work that a nursery setting would work best for her as she was quite a quiet, timid little girl and we wanted her to mix with other children of a similar age.
She has come
on so much since she started, thanks to the support and encouragement of the staff. She has the chance to explore a wide range of activities and this is reflected in her play at home; she is growing in confidence all the time, it’s lovely to see.
The nursery have been great with our dietary requirements for our daughter and she enjoys a wide range of nutritious foods and snacks. She looks forward to going into nursery to see her friends and her key person every day. As parents, it’s important to us that our daughter is happy in her childcare setting, as she spends a great deal of time there, and she is. We would recommend Spring Blaydon without hesitation to other parents.

My daughter has just started in January and although she is still upset when I drop her off I know she is in great hands and settles quickly. She has a great time experiencing different things. I was a little apprehensive to return to work and sending her to nursery still being little but I now don’t
worry. It’s nice to see what she has been doing on the app.

My son has been going to this nursery for well over a year now and he has grown so much in confidence and he has a great support network from all the staff. I feel comfortable leaving my son here and I know he is well looked after and he always tells me he’s had fun at nursery. My daughter is also starting
here soon and I know she will enjoy it. It means a lot to be able to leave my children in such a happy environment and know that they are enjoying themselves and are well looked after.

My little girl is very settled in Spring Nursery Blaydon, staff are very friendly and really get to know children as individuals not just as numbers, my daughter is willing to tell me about her day with ease and loves telling the staff about home life, this shows she feels safe within her environment.
The nursery provides good information on the app, the nursey has a lovely, welcoming feel to it and I would highly recommend it.

My son started here in June 2018. I was so nervous leaving him, in case he didn’t like it. He didn’t at first but it didn’t take long for him to love it! All the girls there are absolutely amazing! Can’t thank them enough so looking after my baby.

The nursery and staff are absolutely amazing, I can't thank them enough for everything they do for both of my children. My daughter doesn't settle with anyone but after only 1 month of being there she absolutely loves every minute of it. Definitely the best nursery around and I will always 100% recommend.


Staff

always make you feel welcome and that's great peace of mind for you when leaving your children and they always take time at collection to tell you everything they've done, eaten ect.


Getting regular updates on the app is also a bonus.

My 2 year old daughter's development has increased so much since starting at this nursery. She is so happy going through the doors which really says it all about how nice the staff are. I also find the staff very approachable, they will answer any question and they tell you everything your child has
been up to that day. I know I can leave my daughter and she’s in safe hands.

Lovely staff and atmosphere. My two-year-old daughter has developed and grown so well. She feels safe enough to leave me without hesitation. I get daily feedback on her and her activities. Very reassuring.

I am generally very satisfied with this nursery. The staff are friendly and seem very attentive and assist in your child's development well. My daughter loves going here and enjoys spending time with the staff and other kids. My only criticism would be that the meals, they are given on an evening would
be more suitable for a lunch; sandwiches and crackers etc. Other than this I am completely satisfied with this nursery.

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.
