Review from Joy S (Grandmother of Child) published on 12 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddaughter attends Acklam Children's Day Nursery a few days a week and I have the pleasure of dropping her off one day. She runs up the path excitedly with a big smile on her face and is greeted warmly by the staff. She settled in quickly and is coming on leaps and bounds with her development,
as she is a fussy eater we were really worried when she started but they were so reassuring and cater for her individual needs so well. I would highly recommend this nursery due to it being amazing and so flexible.
Reply from Christine Prendergast, Nurseries Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryThank you for the lovely review Joy, it is very much appreciated. I am sure the staff will be over the moon with your comments.

My little boy started in early November 2020, he is currently in baby room but since starting his learning is coming along fantastic. We love being able to see what he’s been up to at nursery through tapestry. And all of the staff are great with our little one, he is really settled here.
Reply from Christine Prendergast, Nurseries Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryThank you for the lovely review, Claire, it is great to know your little boy has settled in well, that his learning is fantastic and you feel the staff are great. The staff do put the children at the heart of everything they do in the nursery and with keeping parents updated on the online portal.

My kids both love this school, every time they go they are always excited, my little boy is very clingy and is a mammy’s boy and won’t go anywhere without me, so for him to enjoy being away from me at school just says how amazing this nursery truly is. I’m so proud of what they’ve achieved because of
the school.
Reply from Angela Thomas, Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryThank you so much for your lovely review, it's great to see both of them settle so well.

My daughter has been attending this nursery now since the beginning of 2020. Although she has missed a lot of time there in this pandemic period, she is always made to feel welcome on return. The girls are always happy to help with anything I ask for her. They have helped a lot with her toilet training
and always stand by my wishes. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending and she has especially taken a shine to one member of staff in particular who is wonderful with her.
Reply from Leigh-Ann Scott, Deputy Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryWhat a lovely review. Thank you so much, it's lovely when she comes in happy and ready to learn, and she always has a smile on her face.

Acklam Day Nursery has provided a caring, nurturing environment for my little girl who has missed out on interaction with her peers due to covid-19 restrictions. She loves attending and all the staff are professional, forging good relationships with parents.

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.
Reply from Angela Thomas, Manager at Acklam Children's Day NurseryThank you for your lovely review.

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.
Reply from Angela Thomas at Acklam Children's Day NurseryThank you for your review. We are so pleased your child is enjoying his time with us. He is a pleasure to look after and we also love his stories!

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.

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.
