My son has been at this nursery for 2 years now and he has learnt so much. He has become a strong independent young man. He loves the staff at Acklam Day Nursery and he also has lots of friends there.
The nursery always looks clean and tidy. Everything is well organised.

Thank you Rashad, I will pass on your lovely comment to the girls.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for quite some time and enjoys her time there, she is a sociable girl and enjoys interacting with the other children which she thrives on at nursery. I believe her attendance here will give her the basics she will need when she starts school in September.
I am also happy with the food served and the varied menu which suits different needs.

Amazing nursery. My son loves it so much and all the staff are brilliant. Can't thank this nursery enough.


My son has special needs and they have gone over and beyond to help him and me. Since my son has been attending here, he is slowly but steadily becoming a confident little boy. Staff are amazing.

Lovely, clean nursery. I cannot thank the staff enough for the development of my son. They have been fantastic with him and he absolutely loves coming here. He is always kept lovely and clean and each member of staff has taken the time to get to know him. I am always given a full report on how he's
done that day. Staff seem happy and genuinely pleased to see us x

Excellent staff and facilities! My little boy loves coming here. Tapestry is brilliant for me to keep up with how he's doing and for me to update the staff too.
Overall, I'd recommend Acklam Day nursery to anyone for their children - they'll 100% be happy, well cared for and always be learning!

Great environment for my son who has created friendships and relationships with other nursery children and staff alike.
They are happy to work with myself to make the transitions of potty training easier.
I have recommended the nursery to others.

So far I have been extremely pleased with how the nursery have been caring for my son. He seems to be really enjoying going to nursery and playing with the staff/children each day. As a parent I feel that having the "Tapestry" programme is invaluable and especially as I can have an insight into what
he gets up to. Keep up the good work :)

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.
