The Review Score of 9.9 (maximum of 10) for Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 55 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.909 for Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (599 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 656 Ratings = 4.909
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 9.8 positive Reviews (49 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 32 Reviews ÷ 9.8 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.909)
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Leanne W (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 16 May 2018. Relates to May 2018.
My little boy started attending Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery last September after already been before for a few months.
I cannot praise this nursery enough. It is absolutely brilliant the staff are all lovely and caring, my little boy loves going.
The nursery has brought my son on so much, even picked up on his speech difficulty's and contacted the right people to get him help.
The nursery is always clean and has codes for the building and rooms.

My son started here in February and he loves it! All the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, my son enjoys all the different activities they do. He has come on so much since starting and loves to tell us what he’s been doing, it’s lovely that we also get updates of what he’s been up to on tapestry. We highly recommend this nursery!

Fantastic nursery. Kids well looked after. Was really sad to leave (as moving back to London). Everyone was so lovely. Always had time for parents and children. The staff were a Godsend. I was raving about them whilst my children were with them and I still am today.
You will not regret sending your children here.

Having just started using the nursery I can not recommend them highly enough. From the moment we walked through the door we knew that our little girl would be well looked after. The staff are all lovely and attention to detail is fab. They have made the transition of returning to work so much easier and I love that I can go online and see pictures of what my little girl has been doing all day.

I have used the nursery for 15 years and have 3 sons. My youngest child is 2 and attends 3 days. I recommend the nursery to everyone. The facilities, staff and food are all amazing. My child is happy at Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery and I wouldn't look for anywhere else. I feel confident my children have all been left in the best care I could wish for whilst I work. It is the best nursery there is!

The TAD Centre Day Nursery have always made my child feel welcome and comfortable at nursery. She adores all the staff and always looks forward to going to ‘school’ every day. We will both be very sad when she leaves for big school.
10/10 for the staff!

My two and a half year old loves his nursery.
He always comes home full of stories about what he's been doing.
The staff are brilliant lovely and caring I have no worries when my son is at nursery as I know he's being well cared for.
Lots of activities...daily dancing and singing, lots of drawing, free creative play, and a safe outside space.
The nursery is always clean and has locked codes doors into each space.
I would definitely recommend Nunthorpe Day nursery to any other parent.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Kerry R (Mother of Child) on Sunday 18 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
My little girl has been attending the nursery since she was about 7 months old and she is 3 now. She has Downs Syndrome and the nursery has been a great place for her to develop and socialise. Staff have always wanted to learn more about how to best support her and her key workers have always been committed to her ongoing development.
She enjoys nursery, I get lots of updates and photos on Tapestry and am thoroughly confident that she is being cared for every day.

As a first time mum with a very clingy little girl, the staff here have been amazing at helping her to settle in and making me feel at ease. They are friendly and welcoming and my little girl feels comfortable with them. The nursery is well organised and there is a lovely sense of team amongst the staff. I am kept up to date on my daughter's day and progress through the Tapestry app with which is fab. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to other families.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Emily M (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 14 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
My children have been going to this nursery for 5 years now. They exceed your expectations of a nursery providing the best quality care child.
The activities and experiences that the children have had here are extremely positive.
My children now 2 and 6 years old access the Butterflies room and after school club.
Being a full-time single parent it is so important to me when I get updates and pictures via Tapestry of my children during the day. If I have left one of my children upset as I am leaving the nursery staff to send a picture reassuring me that they are settled and happily playing.
My children’s development and skills have excelled by attending this nursery. I could not recommend it highly enough.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Bianca G (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 14 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
We have recently moved from South-Africa to Middlesbrough and my 16month old has always had a full-time childminder and has never been in a nursery or had interaction with children/babies his own age. He only knows older children and grownups. Thus my husband and I was concerned that he wouldn't adapt well and might not play well with others, but that fear was squashed immediately.
The staff were utterly amazing with my son from day one. We set up a plan whereas he started going half days to the nursery for 2 weeks, to a point where he goes now comfortably full days. His home language is Afrikaans but that was not even an issue, the staff helped him interact very well with them and the other children, he plays and loves sharing and he just loves going to "school".
I can definitely without any doubt in my mind recommend Nunthorpe Nursery and the staff to anyone nationally and internationally. Thank you so much for helping make our transition so smoothly.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Victoria (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 10 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
My daughter started at Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery at 9 months old, she is now almost 3. With every stage she has passed through the nursery has been supportive and helpful. The staff are wonderful, all of them! Warm, caring, kind, encouraging, loving, engaged, creative, and consequentially my daughter is incredibly happy here. The nursery is flexible and accommodating and regular updates, photos and videos are provided via the Tapestry app, which I love! With fresh food prepared on site and ever-changing displays, themes and learning activities, the children and well nourished in body and mind. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough.

My son has really come on with his speech and language since starting which he was struggling. With and the nursery have been supportive and make an effort to involve parents in what their child is up to whilst they are at work.
I cannot recommend this nursery and it’s lovely staff enough, I fully appreciate everything they have done and would just like to say a massive thank you :)

They are enthusiastic and very approachable and make the whole process of leaving your child with them a pleasant experience.

Fantastic nursery, brilliant staff. My son and daughter have both attended this nursery and have never had any problems. The difference in my son since starting is brilliant he is so sociable, sings me loads of different nursery rhymes, can count to ten and has even started sort of singing the alphabet. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough 10/10 the staff are amazing always happy to listen to anything I have to say the manager is very friendly and also very involved with the children and is often seen huddled up in the reading corner with the children or playing games with them. we have been a part of this nursery for 8 years now and never had any issues, my youngest will be starting nursery next September when I start university and I know from experience he will be well looked after and shown a lot of care while he is there.

Brilliant nursery my son loves it. The staff are brilliant with him.
He has come on loads since starting nursery.
They are brilliant with his milk allergy also even down to trying to make it look like he is eating what the other kids are eating. The cook will make sure he has a special cake if the other kids are having cake so he doesn't feel left out.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Becky (Mother of Child) on Wednesday 9 August 2017. Relates to August 2017.
Our son has attended Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery for over 3 years now. He loves his time there and has built strong relationships with both the children and staff. He is a confident, clever little boy and I firmly believe the nursery has played a big part in that. His development over the years has been amazing to see - the staff have given him so much of their time over the years which has been invaluable for his development. The staff go over and above their standard duties to care for him. The days out they go on and the activities they do are always brilliantly organised and thought out. Being able to log into their daily record system is great for parents as they can see what their little ones have been up to and also add comments and photos from home too.
I would (and already have) highly recommend Nunthorpe Nursery to family and friends and look forward to our 2nd son being a part of the nursery in the future.
Keep up the good work team Nunthorpe!

The Nunthorpe branch of the nursery is an absolutely super setting for little ones. My son has been attending a couple of mornings a week and he loves going there. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the flexibility of the management team has exceeded any other setting we have known.
My son has learned so many new things and he has had his eyes opened to a whole new world of food choices.
I can't recommend highly enough.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since January, following a move to the area and I am delighted to share that she has flourished during her time here.
It is very important to me and my husband that our daughter is able to interact with other children and here she is able to do this in a nurturing and educational environment.
The staff at the nursery are warm and welcoming, ensuring my daughter feels safe and comfortable.
Overall, I am very happy with the care provided.
Many thanks.

Fantastic nursery and fantastic staff. I would and have recommended this nursery to everyone! My little one has been attending for 3 and a half years and he has come on leaps and bounds. His development has been amazing and it's all down to the excellent staff who work with him every day. We will be sad to see him leave and go to big school in September but happy to know his little brother will be joining the nursery in April.

My son started at Nunthorpe nursery when he was 2 years. He settled in really well and all staff were fantastic with him and me. So much so that I opted to put his younger sister in from being 1 year old. A little bit hesitant at going back to work as I have never left my children in childcare from such a young age. However knowing how they were with my son I felt more than confident returning to work and leaving the staff care for my two youngest children. Their imagination and knowledge have grown tremendously and their little characters have been formed with the help of all the staff not just the ladies in the nursery but also the manager gets stuck in and likes to help out with the children and knows all children who walk through the door. It's like another big family at Nunthorpe nursery and I am forever grateful for the work they do with my children x

Thank you for these kind words. We love spending time with your children here at Nunthorpe and they brighten my day when they pop their heads round the office door to see me.

Absolutely incredible nursery staff. The setting is lovely, both my children have been very much cared for, and loved by the staff. They are always more than willing to take time and give information and updates. And mainly ensure safety for all measures and all ages including adults. Quite sad that we won't be using the nursery anymore as it really is a totally unique and wonderful experience at this nursery. Thanks a lot to the team for all the dedication, time and care given.

This nursery is amazing, we have sent both of our children here and one currently still attends. The staff are amazing, very friendly and happy to help with anything. They take excellent care of the children and always go out of their way to make sure the children have fun new activities to do all the time.

A lovely nursery where my baby is happy and settled quickly. Staff members are always friendly and accommodating. Online Tapestry updates help me feel relaxed and happy at work knowing my baby is safe and having fun.

My little boy has been attending this day nursery 1 day per week for the past 10 months, he is now 23 months old. I can't say enough good things about the staff. They helped my son through his difficult first few weeks, encouraging him to play and interact with the other children, giving him lots of support and reassurance. The facilities and toys are clean and tidy. There always seems to be a new toy or activity. The outdoor play area is great, kids seem to go out in most weathers!
Food looks great and mealtimes are very orderly and well supervised.
Really happy with all aspects of care at this nursery, would definitely recommend it.

Staff are very personable and friendly. As a new mum I felt the staff were also very informative and supportive to me in the beginning, they also offered advice and helped me feel normal!!
They made an initial very anxious time when I had to go back to work very easy and eased the stress! I had no worries about leaving my child here.
My child is so settled here and I feel he has come on leaps and bounds by being in this environment, I'm very thankful for all that the staff do.

Thank you for your lovely comments about our nursery. It would be good to have a chat about our menu and see if we can come up with some new ideas to add to it.
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sarah B (Mother of Child) on Thursday 26 January 2017. Relates to January 2017.
My daughter has been attending Nunthorpe Day Nursery for nearly a year now, I've never had any problems and feel very satisfied and comfortable leaving her in their care.
The staff are amazing and seem to have a good team of working together this really shows.
I love to see my daughters development skills which they follow by observing her and I get to have access to an easy online service with updates every week of what she is doing.
The best feeling is when I pull up outside the nursery she knows where she's going and gets very excited to get inside and see the girls and her little friends.
This makes me very happy.

Both my daughters have attended Nunthorpe Day Nursery and my youngest still does. I cannot begin to describe how wonderful the nursery is, we love everything about it. The manager is extremely helpful and the staff are just fabulous. I don't know what we would do without them, they are by far the best in the area. It's simply magical.

This is a wonderful nursery. It's such a big thing to trust anybody with your child, but after seeing the way that the staff are with my daughter I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to friends. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting the nursery and has made lots of lovely friends! Thank you Nunthorpe Nurseries!

I put my daughter in nursery from 6 months old and now she's almost turning 1, she's been brought on so well from being in nursery. They have tried lots of new things and encouraged development in everything from messy play to being able to do things herself.
It's not easy going back to work and leaving your baby but I feel fully confident she is being well looked after, I also get emails with photos of what she has being doing and new things she's achieved. She's built relationships with the staff who care for her and I'm glad I didn't put her anywhere else, to me it's worth the money to know she's safe and being looked after properly. Fully recommend the nursery to everyone and anyone!

This is a lovely nursery which my child has settled into and really enjoys. The staff are always welcoming and seem to have a good understanding of my child. The updates and photos on the Tapestry system are really nice so I can see what my child has been up to. I would really recommend this nursery.

The nursery is fantastic. All of the staff and management are lovely and they always have so many different activities for the children. I was very nervous at first about leaving my little girl but I am over the moon with all the staff since my little girl has been going there and she absolutely loves it. Can't compliment the staff enough. Highly recommended.

I've had both my children in the nursery since 2011 and my youngest is still there now. The nursery has been a great support to me and has allowed me to work and have the comfort that my children were both well looked after. My children have flourished at the nursery and developed in confidence over the years. I'm kept up to date with their progress all the time and I can see just how much they have done. They do a great variety of things to keep them occupied and they love the variety of it all. The girls are fab and you can see that they genuinely love what they do. I would definitely recommend the nursery!

My daughter has been attending this nursery for approx six months now. I didn't have any experience in relation to placing my daughter in daycare so was a little anxious prior to her first day. I should not have worried one bit, my daughter absolutely loves the place. The staff are excellent with her and I have seen her develop at a great pace since she started attending.
The facilities are fantastic and the staff go that extra mile to keep you up-to-date in terms of the daily activities that my daughter takes part in. Safety and security is also very good with a strict entry code system in place. I'm lucky that I found a nursery as good as this at the first time of asking.
Highly recommended.

Amazing nursery! Having tried two different nursery's my daughter didn't settle in either I used to dread taking her but she absolutely loves this one! I even book her in on the odd occasion when I'm not at work which I would never have done before. The staff are so warm and friendly to us and each time I pop in they are doing activities with the children. I get emails with pictures of her playing and how she's developing. It's clean, bright and according to my little one the food is delicious! Highly recommended.

My son settled in really well after 7 weeks off, the staff made both him and I immediately delighted that we made the right decision to keep him in the nursery rather than school nursery. He always comes home in a very good mood. He really looks forward to nursery. He has a couple of health problems but my husband and I trust all the staff 100%. This nursery is lovely, friendly and always makes you very welcome.

We would like to express our appreciation to the nursery team for looking after our child this past 12 months. It was a turning point for him coming to your nursery. We are well aware of the patience and dedication that was required at times. I hope the team will reflect on what a great difference they have made to him, and our family.
We always knew he was in safe and caring hands, which is priceless to us.

The nursery has been fantastic for my daughter's development. She has been there since she was a few months old and is now 3. She loves the nursery staff, who I couldn't speak more highly of. They are constantly thinking of new ideas and the children go on some interesting trips out too. A first class nursery to send your child to, my daughter loves it! I particularly love the online system that gives us photos and descriptions of what our daughter has been doing at nursery.

Both my children have attended this nursery and loved every minute. Very friendly, kind and nurturing staff providing just what they needed at each stage of their development. Good communication from the staff with detailed updates on the days events and activities. I get regular updates sent to my email showing the activities they have been participating in and how this is linked to their developmental assessment through the online journal.

I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery. My daughter has been attending for almost a year now, the attentiveness of the staff and the way they monitor and track her development is great. She has made so much progress over the year and I love that she has an online learning journal that let's me see what she has been getting up to during her day at nursery. The journal also lets me and my wife upload photographs and notes about what we have been doing at the weekend which the staff always comment on and talk about with our daughter which she loves. The staff are great and the nursery is always welcoming and inviting, I would have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family.
