The staff have been amazing with helping settle my child within the setting and acknowledged his individual needs whilst on a tour of the nursery before he started. This nursery has been the only one that he's settled into. All staff are super supportive! This is the one nursery I will and have recommended
to friends.

Went to the nursery to pick up my granddaughter as visiting for the weekend, my daughter arranged with the nursery in the morning so was known by staff we were picking her up. The staff made us feel so welcome and highlighted our granddaughter was playing outside as it was a lovely day. She was having
so much fun. We watched for a wee while and she soon realised we were there. The staff gave us a grand tour of the premises and I can honestly say what a fabulous nursery it is. I can honestly say I know my granddaughter is very well looked after and she absolutely enjoys her time there. Top marks from me.
Reply from Angela Thomas, Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryThank you so much for your lovely review. I am so pleased that you are happy with the nursery - we are all so proud of our setting and love giving the 'grand tour'. We recognise that all family members are important and should feel happy with the care their 'child' is receiving.
Thank you once again!

My children have been at the nursery for almost a year now. They have loved every day they have gone. The staff are so kind, to both me and my kids. They have a gorgeous outdoor space and lots of resources for indoor play. I have never had a single problem here. The staff update you about your children
every day when you pick them up and my children are always so excited to tell me about how much fun they’ve had. Genuinely faultless.

Our grandson has been attending Acklam Children's Day Nursery since he was around 6 months and is now 3 years old. He has always enjoyed going there and their care has been excellent. Ourselves along with his mam have always had the peace of mind that he is safe and happy when in their care. The managers
and their staff have always been very accomodating and have always met the needs of our grandson and his mam. Would recommend them to anyone needing childcare.

What an excellent children's day nursery, couldn't fault anything. They are friendly, polite and always there if you need to talk. Nothing is too much for the staff. My grandson is always asking when am I going to Acklam Children's Day Nursery, he always gives it the full title. I would definitely recommend
this nursery.

Acklam Day Nursery has cared for my son from being a baby. In recent months my son has developed more challenging behaviours unrelated to the nursery, however, has impacted his behaviour at nursery. Acklam Day Nursery have bent over backwards to support my son in every way possible. They have encouraged
my very picky son to try new meals which he enjoyed, they spend so much time doing different activities and exploring in the outdoor play area which my son loves and they make each day a new adventure so the children are always having so much fun. The love and care that comes from each member of staff is the reason my son wakes up every morning excited to go to nursery. I cannot thank them all enough for creating a safe, warm and fun environment for my son and also the amount of support they have given me at times when I really needed it. I highly recommend Acklam day nursery, they are truly an amazing team of people.
Reply from Angela Thomas, Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryThank you for your kind words. The staff will be really pleased that they have supported you as well as your child. Long may the adventures continue!

I couldn't recommend Acklam Children's Day Nursery any more than I do! 5 Star, such a brilliant place for my son to be! He was in a school nursery that didn't understand him and since him attending Acklam Day Nursery I feel more at ease when I go to collect him! Although we still have bumps in the road
sometimes the staff are absolutely brilliant with him and he loves it which is the main thing!

Wonderful nursery! My little boy started going in February 2021 and adores the place and the staff. Due to work I am not able to drop him off and pick him up therefore I find the app really handy and useful to see updates on my son's progress and development.

The staff at this nursery have been amazingly understanding, accommodating and flexible around my ever-changing schedule, which was one of the things that attracted me to the nursery. My son is a home bird and with the pandemic, I was worried about him getting back into his routine however he really
enjoys his days at nursery and gets excited about seeing his friends.

My twins visit this nursery and it's the best decision I've ever made, my twins love it here. The staff are informative, flexible and friendly. Nothing is ever too much to ask. The twins always come home with stuff they have made, such as paintings and pictures. I know their day has been filled with
activities and a happy environment to play. Cannot recommend this place enough.

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.
