Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have just moved to Carmarthenshire as a family from Bristol. Our daughter started in Pobl Bach shortly after. She was in a nursery 3/4 full days a week in Bristol.
The difference in her, her attitude, how she is treated and the activities she does at Pobl Bach is really quite remarkable.
We get
lovely photos most days and she often comes home with a lovely little art project or something!
We are so happy with Pobl Bach and it fills our heart thinking about Juno going off and having fun with the lovely staff there.
5/5 would recommend
Reply from Catherine Rowlands, Director at Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor)
Thank you for your lovely review, C. We are so happy to hear that Juno is settling in so well with us. She is an absolute pleasure to have in our baby unit, always so happy and content.

Disappointed and angry with the way I was treated recently. Had to put a notice in as couldn’t afford their price increase from March to then not allow my children in one day as I couldn’t pay 2 bills there and then. I always paid my bills at the end of every month from September to February and this
wasn’t a problem until I put my notice in. Within days with no notice was refused entry with my children feeling very confused and angry as I wasn’t paid until the following week I couldn’t afford February and March bills put together. My children left crying and couldn’t understand why the manager had spoken to mummy the way she did. Not once did I have a contract to say the date of bills. I did not receive any bills in my parents account (apart from one or two) so had to guess my bills most of the time, and the cheek of it all is that not once have I received an apology for the way I was spoken to. Poor management and only the lovely accountant had apologised to me for the way the staff had behaved.

Lovely staff. Good variety of food. I didn't have to worry about my son who has gluten intolerance.
Variety of toys for kids.
Staff are easy to contact.
I like the idea of the app and being able to see what food my kids had while I am at work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my little girls have gone to Pobl Bach Nursery - Llangunnor (with the eldest now in school and the youngest still attending) and I have nothing but positive things to say about them.
The staff are excellent and are from what I can see very good with the children and form very strong bonds with
those in their care. My youngest has created a bond with one staff member in particular and runs to them when they come to collect them at the door. Both of my girls have always been happy to go to all the staff members and always come out full of smiles at the end of the day. This nursery has also greatly helped with both my little ones learning and social skills.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the staff. I love that you are updated via an app throughout the day about what they've eaten, nappy changes, sleep times, activities etc. Highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) has been our life saver over the last twelve months. Our previous nursery closed at short notice and Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) stepped into the breach to support us. Our youngest son is very happy there, is always keen to go through the door and doesn't look back
which I always feel is a good sign. Our eldest son also went during the latest lockdown, which again provided us with safe and secure childcare whilst we were both working, as well as good company and stimulation for our son. We couldn't be happier with the service that Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) has offered us.

A great little nursery that really puts me at ease knowing that my child is well looked after. She settled well from day one and looks forward to going and spending time there. As a mother, there is nothing more important than my child’s happiness, and Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) certainly contribute
towards that on the days she is there. I highly recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot commend the care shown to both my son and daughter over a number of years by staff at Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) enough, they've been exceptional! Both my children have really enjoyed their time there and its all down to friendly staff who've always put them at ease. It's been comforting
knowing that when I pick them up, they've had nutritious meals and its reassuring when at a tap of an app on my phone, I've been able to keep track of when and what food they've eaten and what activities they've been doing throughout the day. It's also been great receiving updates on their development which really emphasizes how much care and attention staff have given to our children. I'd highly recommend Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) to any new mum's and dads.

The care that my granddaughter has received at Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) has been exceptional. She has attended there since she was six months old and the staff and management have been amazing. She has nutritious home made food each day as well as having early years educational activities in Welsh,
which will give her the best start in life before attending a Welsh medium school. I highly recommend Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) to any parent wanting the best for their child or grandchild.

Our daughter loves attending Pobl Bach Nursery at Llangunnor. She has developed well over the past two years despite unforeseen circumstances due to Covid. She enjoys playing outdoors and the various activities introduced keeps her intrigued and occupied. Her ability to speak has developed especially
in English. We would have liked more development with her Welsh as this is our first language at home. Despite this we drop her off in the morning knowing she is cared for thoroughly. Highly recommend.

The nursery appeals to us due to its close proximity and Welsh language support. The app they use is fantastic and gives a real time experience for me to see what my son is getting up to during the day, including information on what he’s eaten, nappy changes and even real time updates in when he’s started
and finished a nap. The staff are always smiling and friendly and my son who is now two, doesn’t even look back when walking in!? Thank you to all the staff at Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) for everything they’re doing, especially during these difficult times. We appreciate everything you do.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.882) out of 10 for Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.750 for Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75
  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 3.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pobl Bach Nursery (Llangunnor) is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.132
  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.
