The nursery staff themselves are fantastic and I trust them to take care of my child to a high standard. The staff are flexible and understanding of individual needs, and I feel comfortable giving them honest feedback AAWN.
The money management seems unclear in terms of how additional costs are worked
out around free childcare hours. I dont think this comes from the local nursery staff and is not within their control. Transparency and clearer options from higher up would be helpful here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my children love this nursery, my son has been going since he was around 9 months old, and my daughter has just joined before Christmas. They're both always happy and excited to go to nursery and love the staff. The nursery staff can't do enough for you, they always make you feel welcome
with any questions or concerns you may have and answer them promptly.
My children always come home tired and happy after a busy day at nursery, with full bellies and lots of smiles. There's plenty of activities put on for the children throughout the year to teach them about lots of events across the world and different cultures.
All around an incredible nursery with plenty of open communication and amazing staff

My child has attended Acklam day nursery since he was 10 months old until he was 3. We cannot fault his experience at all. The staff are all amazing, really caring about each individual child and so supportive as our child reached each milestone in his life. My child loves to attend and we will be so
sad to leave when he joins school.

This is an amazing nursery. I have a little boy who I didn't want to start nursery for certain reasons. But in the end, I let him go and I chose this nursery, at first I was so nervous due to my little boy couldn't tell me how his day went but the staff and managers at this nursery put my mind at ease.
They told me about him every day and how he was getting on and now I leave him at nursery with a clear mind because I know he's well looked after by all staff. I couldn't fault this nursery at all definitely top 10 nursery and definitely would recommend this nursery.

Little one (1yr) started in January, lots of tears however the staff kept me updated and by week 2 he was smiling going in! He loves going to nursery and his social skills have increased massively! I love seeing his little updates on the app also! I can go to work now without worry and know he is having
an amazing time! Thanks to all the staff at Acklam Day Nursery.

A fantastic nursery with caring and nurturing staff. The setting is clean and offers a variety of healthy, nutritious food. My little one has been attending the setting for almost a year and is continuing to develop in all areas. They helped make my transition back to work easy and supported me in continuing
to breastfeed my little one. The care they provide is more than I could ask for. I recommend this setting to anyone for childcare needs.

My little girl started Acklam Children's Day Nursery when she was around 2 years old. She absolutely loved the nursery from the first day she started. My daughter has autism and before her diagnosis, there were early signs of this, the nursery always did all they could to fulfil her needs. The care
they provide is the best she could have ever received. She now attends a sen provision and in the holidays she spends 1-2 days per week with Acklam Children's Day Nursery and gets so excited to see staff and children. I could not recommend this nursery enough! Amazing is the only word I can describe it!
Reply from Leigh-Ann Scott, Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryWe all look forward to the school holidays to see how well she is doing.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.681)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.681) out of 10 for Acklam Children's Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.831 for Acklam Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.831
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acklam Children's Day Nursery is based on 14 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
