Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Singleton Day Nursery since he was 8-months-old. I can't praise the staff there enough for how amazing they have always been with him from starting in the baby room to now in the toddler room. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they are so helpful with any queries or
concerns I may have. He absolutely loves going there, and I feel so comfortable knowing how well looked after he is there. The meals are always healthy and well scheduled throughout the day. He always has lots of crafts to come home with, and I am so pleased with his development; they focus on target areas for their age and keep you updated on the app along with pictures, which are great memories to keep. The app also allows me to check through the day what he has done, how much he has eaten and slept, which is really helpful. Would highly recommend sending your child to this nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I looked at a few nurseries before deciding to enrol my daughter with Singleton nursery.
The facilities are great, and even with all the covid restrictions, the daily activities are fabulous! The staff have been so welcoming and friendly and always have time to talk. The app is a great way to know
what has happened in the day, and seeing photos of my daughter having so much fun is one of my favourite things.
She has made so much progress, and Singleton nursery has definitely been a large contributor to that.
I highly recommend them, for their caring, fun and family-like ethos!

It is a lovely nursery, and my daughter is very happy to attend and looks forward to her nursery days. The communication is excellent between the nursery and home, and they do a lovely range of activities. The nursery has also worked really hard to make the nursery Covid19 safe, and this really seems
to have worked well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy loves coming to Singleton nursery. All the girls are welcoming and caring towards him, and he has built lovely, trusting relationships with the staff. The nursery is clean, colourful, and very well organised. The app is great to check in on how my little boy is doing and keeps me up to
date with what he has eaten etc. When I message to check-in, I always get a nice reply and a picture, which reassures me that he is happy. The nursery set up lovely activities for the children to develop their learning, however, I would love to see more pictures of him enjoying the activities, and would love to receive more crafts and things he has done/made at nursery. I would like to know a little more about how he is progressing with his learning, eg observations. I strongly feel that my little boy is cared for beautifully at this nursery, and he is thriving as a result of going there.

My daughter has been going to Singleton Day Nursery since she was 9-months-old, and she’s now just turned three. She has come on heaps and bounds since being at the nursery. My daughter enjoys it that much that we have decided to keep her there until she starts full-time school. The staff are excellent,
and I always feel confident that my little girl is being well looked after.

The manager leads a fantastic, caring and supportive team.
My daughter loves all the activities planned and how the team look after her.
The manager's responsiveness and flexibility during this incredibly tough time have been amazing.
I cannot thank her or her staff enough! Thank you, to the manager

This is a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending since he was a year old, and his speech and confidence has grown. He has a great relationship with all the staff, and they play outside most days, weather permitting!

My daughter started at the nursery in November 2020 so has only been there three months, however, she has settled in so well. It's such a relief to know that she is in safe and caring hands. She loves going and never wants to leave when I pick her up.
I absolutely love the arts and crafts that she
comes home with, my house is now like an art gallery, which I love!
A huge thank you to all staff, especially the under two staff who have helped my daughter settle so well. You do an amazing job!
The new covid procedures that have come into place make me feel safe knowing that the nursery is clean and following guidelines. Singleton nursery is highly recommended.

My 3-year-old son has been attending Singleton since he was 18-months-old and he loves it! He’s always excited to go to the nursery and always comes home happy and full of life. He’s obviously very well looked after while he’s at nursery and that’s all I can ask for as a parent!

We have recently moved to the area and our 18-month-old son has just started a day a week at Singleton. We have been really impressed by the professionalism of the staff, as well as their caring approach to our son. They put a lot of thought into planning the daily activities on offer and are helpful
and proactive when dealing with queries and questions. Great experience so far. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been really impressed with Singleton Day Nursery. Our son has only been going to the nursery for three months and found the transition unsettling and upsetting. However, the staff have been incredibly friendly, supportive and caring towards our little boy and reassuring to us. We think the app
is amazing and love seeing photos of our son playing throughout the day or seeing how he has slept/eaten. The staff are extremely professional and have always maintained good lines of communication, and have dedicated time to us at handovers. Our only slight criticism is the lack of observations and photos (we have had 1 obs in 3-months).

I and my children love Singleton Day Nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The girls take the time to help the children achieve and reach their milestones. My children are always very excited to attend. They have access to wide and varied educational activities whilst at creche, as well
as both structured and free play. There is also an outdoor play area too. Food provided, as well as an app, which allows access to their day, as well as communication with staff.

I feel that staff at Singleton Day Nursery are very approachable, who provide a really good, safe environment. I also feel the standard and quilty of care is second to none. They ensure that my child keeps active and stimulated by learning through play and interaction with others. What I also found
impressive was the infection control measure put in place by staff to keep everyone safe during the Covid-19 pandemic. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Our child started nursery during the first lockdown, and I was particularly anxious about this. Although, as the staff are so loving and welcoming, our child settled in extremely well. Our child is always excited to go to nursery, and particularly loves her key worker. She is very settled and content.
We enjoy seeing all the fun activities she gets up to, and can clearly see Singleton Day Nursery has been excellent for her development.

Singleton Day Nursery had been amazing for the last four years since we put our son in their care. We are happy with the care and their flexibility to accommodate emergency/extra sessions of which are very convenient for us working parents. Staff are amazing, friendly and caring. The app has been really
good at putting our mind at ease, knowing what he's been doing while being there. Excellent service.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined the under 2's at Singleton 4-months ago. It offers our daughter a warm and nurturing environment where we feel she is safe. We were allocated a key worker as a point of contact, and all the nursery staff got to know us and our daughter quickly, and are always friendly and helpful.
We have regular updates vis the app each day and were allowed a telephone conversation this month to discuss our daughter's progress. The nursery offers homecooked food daily, and we are confident that she is being introduced to health and nutritious options each day. The management team are also very helpful and accommodating. Overall, we know our daughter is happy and well looked after, and we could not recommend it to any parent highly enough.

Our son really enjoys nursery, and since joining earlier this year (August 2020), he has settled really well. This is mainly down to the excellent care that his key worker has provided. She honestly has been superb in making him feel settle. My son is a fussy eater, and the nursery always tries the
menu options with him, but if he doesn't eat it, they will offer toast/yoghurts etc, it could be improved if they could tailor the hot meals though. One other improvement would be more communication on how he is getting on from an educational point.

I have been sending my little boy to Singleton Day Nursery since May of 2018 and he has thrived there. He's now of an age to be starting school and he is going to miss nursery so much when he eventually leaves. I get asked every morning if its nursery day and his keyworker is mentioned all the time
at home. He really loves them! The communication is fantastic and they are really flexible, which has been really important this year especially. The Famly app has been a great addition to the nursery too. Thanks all!

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.
