I have two children at Acklam Day Nursery and they absolutely love it. They have made lovely connections with staff and communication between staff, myself and my partner has been excellent. My son has additional needs and the nursery have been brilliant at working with other professionals and adapting
their care to accommodate my son's needs. I cannot recommend this warm, friendly and professional nursery enough.

Staff at the nursery are really supportive with my daughter, they open the door with a smile each morning and help her settle in. I value the updates they give me at the end of the day about what she's been up to and the developments she has made. All the staff are really friendly and the manager is
great at accommodating different days each month to fit with work arrangements. Thank you for all your hard work.

My son has been going to Acklam Day Nursery for just over a year now and he loves it and has made some lovely friendships with the children and the staff. He has so many stories he comes home and tells me, of all the exciting things he has done at nursery, eg. football with a coach that comes in, drawing,
playing games, making cards. All the staff are so friendly and always advise of what my son has done each day. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter started Acklam Day Nursery in September. She absolutely loves it and is so happy in the morning, because she is going to nursery. The staff are so friendly, she can’t wait to go to see them. She has come on a lot with her talking and they have stuck by us with potty training. I couldn’t
thank them enough for the support they have given us.

After having a rocky start with nurseries, I cannot praise Acklam Road Day Nursery enough. They are warm and welcoming from the off. My little girl has only been there for 3 weeks and already loves going and she asks most days if it's a nursery day. She's settled in really well.

Amazing, they are so flexible with me being a student nurse and working shifts, they are able to facilitate care for my daughter which takes a lot of stress away from me. My daughter enjoys coming, she has settled right in. She used to go to another local nursery and did not like going and this would
make her and myself upset. Her enjoying Acklam Road Day Nursery makes me feel at ease and allows me to continue my studies. Fantastic nursery with lovely staff.

I've had 3 of my children go through this nursery and all of them have loved it, my son is still here but due to leave for reception in September and we are going to miss the staff dearly, all the staff are welcoming and helpful.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone as its very clean and there
is plenty of things for the children to do in all areas and they have home cooked meals every day.

Review from Jonathan W (Father of Child) published on 12 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Acklam Day Nursery now for almost eight months. After visiting a number of nurseries we felt that Acklam was the most welcoming, friendly and fun. All of the staff are fantastic, they have created a fun learning environment and as a father, I feel confident she is in a
safe, fun, happy place. While being in nursery her development has come on leaps and bounds which you can see in other children who attend regularly.
Dealing with the manager and all staff about fees, payment, booking time or advice is a pleasure. They are always helpful and will go out of their way to assist you.
The children in this nursery are not a number, the staff genuinely care and I couldn't recommend it enough.

My little boy is in the baby room and loves coming to nursery. Nothing is ever too much trouble for staff and they always take time to talk to you, you never feel like you are just pushed out on a morning or evening. Makes parents feel so at ease. He always has lovely meals and does fantastic activities.
All staff are friendly, welcoming and all look so happy each day. 5 stars from us.

My daughter absolutely loves Acklam Day nursery. She went to another nursery and hated it. She has just been diagnosed with autism and the staff have all been so understanding and more time to listen to my thoughts and fears. She has come on so much since she has been here. I would recommend this nursery
to all my friends.

Both of my children have attended Acklam Day Nursery, it is a wonderful setting, the staff are always friendly and informative when passing on information about my child’s day. My little boy has a great time, he is always doing exciting activities that allow him to learn through his play.


The Nursery

use a fabulous system called Tapestry which allows me to see photos of his daily activities and provides me with an insight to his learning and his development stages within the Early Years Development Matters. I am really happy with his development.


The Nursery have their own cook and provide daily snacks and a varied lunch menu which my little boy really enjoys.


The Nursery has a lovely outdoor space which the children access on a daily basis. The Nursery staff are a great team who strive to make the Nursery Enviroment a safe, welcoming and fun place to be.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.865 for Acklam Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 406 Ratings = 4.865
  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 Acklam Children's Day Nursery is based on 34 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 34 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.
