My child has come along so well since attending and all the girls are so friendly and helpful. There are so many activities and toys for my child and it's a pleasure to come to the nursery.

Excellent level of care provided at all times in a safe, fun environment. Staff are all excellent and very competent. Lots of information is always provided. My son enjoys going to nursery and benefits greatly from a social environment and learning through play.

My son attends the play scheme in the school holidays being 11 years old still a little young to stay at home and gets fed up of staying with family. At Singleton, there are always plenty of activities going on to keep him amused with cinema trips outside activities and fun all day.

Friendly staff.
Specific dietary requirements.
Short notice flexibility for additional days accommodated when required.
It's evident that my daughter is learning new social skills and gaining confidence with each passing week.

Review from Sandra L (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff have been very caring of my son since he started attending at the age of 9 months. He settled in very quickly and after a few weeks he was happy to go to the nursery and I could leave him with a smile. Staff will let me know if he's not well or tell me what he enjoyed doing when I pick him up.
He also seems to love the food at the nursery. He'll even eat all his vegetables! My work commitment means I sometimes have to change the days he goes in but the nursery has been very accommodating and I really appreciate that.

The baby section is wonderful, all staff are caring and considerate. My daughter loves to go to nursery and I feel she is safe and well cared for. The activities provided are exciting and have helped to enhance her development. There is always a wide range of activities available daily and the daily
routine is varied and well organised. The menu has lots of different choices that my daughter loves. She has formed great bonds with the baby staff and is always happy when I pick her up.

I have nothing but good reviews about the nursery. The staff are all lovely and I get on well with them all.


They always make me feel welcome and I always know I am leaving my son in very safe hands.


They are such a loving and caring place, never a bad word to say about them.


Would recommend

this nursery to anyone I know. So, thank you, Singleton Day Nursery for always making me and my family safe and happy.

Review from Llynos W (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff at the nursery are friendly and approachable. They have built and excellent rapport with my daughter and have helped with potty training by taking our needs into consideration. My daughter is offered plenty of nutritious food to eat. She is also kept entertained by a range of activities
such as crafts, music and outdoor play. I have no concerns regarding the care she receives as I have seen her develop vocabulary and numerical skills due to learning through play. When she started nursery, she was shy and clingy to only family members, now she has developed social skills with adults and children. The nursery have been excellent at accommodating our needs as I don't work set shifts so the days she attends change weekly and this has never been a problem. Some weeks she's in for 2 days and some for 4 days. I wouldn't be able to work if it wasn't for the flexibility which they offer.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The best thing we ever did for our son was to put him into this nursery. He's learned so much whilst being at Singleton and we feel he will be much more equipped for school with the stepping stone the nursery has provided. The staff work really hard and care a great deal about the children. I would
have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to anyone.

Amazing nursery. Staff are all great with my son and nothing is to much trouble. My son can be hard work sometimes going in in the mornings but the girls are always amazing with him and always helping reward his good behaviour.

Really good holiday club provision. My son attended full time at Singleton until going to school but now loves the opportunity to come back and 'visit' during the holidays. Staff are always welcoming and try to be as accommodating with dates as is possible. I like the age range of the holiday club and
can see that all ages are catered for.

Both my children have been at Singleton Day (Schoolhouse) Nursery since they were 10 months old. It is a wonderful nursery. The staff are patient and kind. They let the children be themselves. There is a supportive, nurturing and educational environment. My children are very happy there. I would definitely
recommend it.

Singleton Day Nursery is a fantastic place for young children to start their learning right up to proper school age. My daughter started there at 6 months old and stayed until she started Reception at 4 years old. We still use it now for the Playscheme in the holidays. The staff are friendly and fantastic
with the children. My daughter loved it there and learnt so much in preparation for proper school. I would 100% recommend to anyone, in fact, I have already.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally, the nursery is Fab! And the staff are great.


They need to resolve the method of opening the door, especially during busy times. We understand that the staff cannot leave our children, so maybe there should be a camera and button in the office or face recognition and a card like you get

in some gyms. The bell could be used for visitors or one-offs.


Feel the latest price increase is a little excessive.

I would highly recommend this company to friends and colleagues.
My son is 8 and loves going to the playscheme in the school holidays he has made lots of new friends also likes the day trips that are arranged and the fun days where they make things and have parties.
I would be really stuck for the
school holidays without this friendly caring, lovely ladies that help the children as much as they can.
It's also great for the children to get outside when the weather is dry in the garden to burn off some of their energy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.759)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.759) out of 10 for Singleton 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.759 for Singleton Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (353 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 439 Ratings = 4.759
  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 Singleton Day Nursery is based on 36 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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6, which has been reached with 36 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.
