My daughter started when she was a year old and has progressed through to preschool. She has really enjoyed every stage and looks forward to going every week. The staff are very friendly and helpful. As a parent, I really enjoy receiving updates, photos and reports via the app.

My grandson has been at the nursery since he was 5-months-old, and he has always loved it. He has thrived and absolutely loves it; he cannot wait to go and have a fantastic time. At every stage, the staff, activities and care are excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has come on leaps and bounds since attending; they do a brilliant job at creche, and I would recommend them to anyone. The creche has been an absolute lifesaver during the covid pandemic, as he hadn't seen any children for months at one of the most crucial points of his development. I'm so happy
that we chose Singleton Day Nursery.

Really happy with our nursery. Have used it for 5-years for both our children; and they have been so flexible and take such good care of them. Thank you; they always come home happy and look forward to going. In particular, the helpfulness of the staff and willing to accommodate has made it so much
easier on us when we work. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had an excellent experience with the nursery over the past three years, and our son is very happy there. There are always a lot of fun activities going on, and the new app allows us to keep up to date with what the children do every day, including personalised posts about our son's progress.
The nursery rooms provide a nice environment, and the kids get a lot of outdoor play with lovely views over the park.


One thing we really like about the nursery is the flexibility they offer, as we don't have to book the same days each week. This is essential for parents with non-standard work shifts and doesn't seem to be offered by many other nurseries.

My child comes out OK and seems happy. However, clothes are sometimes lost or my child is wearing someone else's. Not as vigilant as could be with belongings.
Staff not always aware of the child's day. More outdoor activities would be welcomed.

We have been very happy with the nursery and would thoroughly recommend it. The staff are very attentive, caring, and the environment is nurturing. Our youngest is obviously very happy there. The nursery has a wonderful, large outdoor area with lovely views which we feel is a real plus! The food is
also great. Our two older children also went to the nursery, and our experience has always been a very positive one. It is lovely seeing our little one develop into a confident, happy and social little human being!

Singleton Day Nursery is a brilliant nursery.
Our son loves his nursery days. The staff are great with the children, and very approachable if we have any questions. Our son is learning lots every day. Parents are kept up to date via an app, which is great. The chef is fantastic too, our son loves
the food that he has there. I would, and have, highly recommended this nursery to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started in Singleton when he was 8-months (Nov 2019) and, while we were nervous to be leaving him, the staff were fantastic at calming our fears, answering our questions and making our little boy feel at home. I was still breastfeeding at the time, and they were very supportive of this journey
(even when he was refusing the bottle)!
Flash forward 15-months, through a global pandemic, an increase of days and my son's transition into the toddler rooms and I can still say the same; my son loves his time there and every step of the way we have been communicated with, given time when we had questions and sent gorgeous photos to help us feel connected with his time there.
Looking forward to our daughter also starting there soon!

My son loves going to nursery - he has developed a great relationship with his key worker and loves being with the other babies. We get to know what he’s been up to through pictures and notifications on the app, and he is kept busy and happy with a range of fun activities. He is also given lots of cuddles,
and this makes him feel really comfortable and happy at nursery. He also brings crafts etc home, which I love.

My son loves attending Singleton Day Nursery and has done since he was 6-months-old. He absolutely loves the girls, especially two of them! Due to being out of work and not being able to afford for him to come to the nursery, it is heartbreaking, and I know he misses coming to see you all! Hopefully,
sometime soon, he’ll be back to cause mayhem! Would definitely recommend the girls, they are so lovely and happy! And the manager is always so helpful with queries that I have.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this nursery for just over a year. We are extremely happy with the care and provision at this nursery. The staff are all wonderful and are brilliant with the children. Like many toddlers, my son used to be upset leaving me in the morning, he now runs to the door. I know he
really enjoys his time there, and the staff have a great rapport with him. He has a great range of food and will eat more food there than he will try at home. He brings home lovely crafts, and we see great photos on the app of the activities he takes part in. We are kept up to date of the development through the app, linking to early years development skills. In addition to this, communication at pick up and drop off is great, as well as parent meetings, and the option to communicate with staff via the app also. I feel the nursery has managed the difficulties of Covid very well, and I feel the nursery is as safe as it can be. Well done to everyone involved!

My son has been attending for just over half a year now. He is very well settled. He's too young to tell me what he thinks of the nursery, but he's always happy to go to the nursery staff in the morning and is happy when I pick him up, which is such a good and reassuring sign that he's content. Over
the last few months, the nursery has started updating us parents about the day's activities more often through the app, and I really enjoy the insight into my baby's day.

My daughter has been attending Singleton nursery for there years now, and I have always felt confident that she has been well looked after and that her wellbeing is a priority. The staff seem to really care about each child and get to know them and their needs well. My daughter loves going to nursery
and often comes home saying she's had so much fun. There seems to be a good mix of fun play and age-appropriate learning opportunities too. She also enjoys the food, which is varied and balanced.

Singleton Day Nursery has been fantastic. When my little boy started he was very nervous, and I was worried about leaving him; the staff there were fantastic. They put me at ease straight away, and my son loves going there. If you are looking for somewhere to send your child, then I would definitely
recommend Singleton Day Nursery. It’s such a warm and welcoming place, and they care so much about the children.

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.
