My little girl has been attending this nursery since Feb 2025 and I can't thank all the staff there enough! She settled straight in and absolutely loves everyone that has worked with her. Her speech and overall development has come on so much and there is always plenty of activities going on relating
to the season. I was very nervous when she started nursery as every parent is but I take her in knowing she is well looked after and supported. The communication is spot on and the app regularly updated. Thank you so much!

I can't praise the nursery enough. My little boy loves going to nursery. He loves the staff, as do i. They are always friendly, accommodating and always there to listen if needed.
The facilities are amazing, they do so much with the children. Even having activities in the reception to take home and
do with your child if you want to.
The food menu is always accommodating and varied. My little boy loves the food (sometimes having seconds)

The Nursery staff are amazing with my daughter, she has thrived brilliantly since starting in September 2024.

My Daughter has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old, she is now in the Tweenies room and is Two next week!
She has come on leaps and bounds in the nursery! The staff are absolutely fantastic and I couldn't be more thankful for all their help and support encouraging her to learn and develop
but also with such a caring and genuine care for all the children in the nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter (24 months) has been attending this lovely nursery from April 2024, starting in the Baby Room, and she is currently in Tweenies.
Every member of staff has been amazing with her. We have never had any concerns, they have always been transparent with us. If any incidents or accidents have
taken place involving our little girl, we have always had a phone call to let us know.
Our toddler loves going to nursery and she's delighted every morning when she walks in, she almost doesn't turn to say bye to her daddy as she is so excited!
The manager does a great job keeping us parents on the loop with what is happening in the nursery, and we love that they encourage us to participate in different activities as a family.
Our little girl is being raised as bilingual and they have been really supportive with this. They sometimes play nursery rhymes in Spanish in class for her, they have asked her dad to come read a story to all the children, etc.

We had a very unpleasant experience with this nursery, therefore we don't recommend it. We had to unfortunately withdraw our son from their care after only 4 days over some concerns we had. Unfortunately I can't provide more information on the nature of the concerns. We decided to report our concerns
to Ofsted.

This nursery excels in prioritising both family engagement and safeguarding procedures. The staff are approachable and dedicated ensuring the utmost care for children's health and wellbeing. Having experienced their warm atmosphere first hand I am impressed by their robust safety measure and holistic
approach to child development. Highly recommended for families seeking a nurturing and secure environment for their kids. The management team works closely with parents, children and external agencies when needed impressively. The service warrants fair compensation for excellent standards.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.781 for The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street is calculated as follows: ( (271 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.781
  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 The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street is based on 25 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 113 number of registered child places is 22.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
