Salcombe Preschool caters for the nursery-aged pupils of Salcombe Preparatory School, which is located on Green Road (postcode N14 4AD).

The preschool invests in creating a learning environment where each child's individuality, strengths and gifts may be nurtured. In this atmosphere of acceptance, affection and respect, little children learn to love learning through the means of structured play. The curriculum is enhanced with specialist teaching in music, PE and dance. French lessons begin in preschool and children enjoy weekly visits to the pre-prep library.

Teachers carry out regular observations, assessments and evaluations, which are reflected in their future planning and in the children's individual portfolios.

Salcombe Preschool sessions last from 8am – 3.30pm (mornings and/or afternoons) during term-time, with wrap-around care until 6pm available.

Salcombe accepts children from the term in which they turn three-years-old. Childcare vouchers and the early years grant are accepted.

Great nursery, with a lovely outside play area and garden. The menus and food are great, and the staff within the rooms are amazing. My little one always seems to have had a busy day and enjoys the activities set.

Overall, the nursery is great with amazing staff. Our child has made a lot of friends with the other kids and bonded with the staff.
He has developed hugely in the last 18 months; speech and social skills have developed a lot.

Salcombe Nursery is a great environment for our little girl. She absolutely loves it and shares the excitement when she is back home.
There is a high level of care and attention to the development of the little ones. We can really see the positive effects in her social interactions, speech and new
skills development.

Review from A R (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are lovely, they know my kid really well and still make an effort with my eldest who left last year. I think it says it all that staff turnover is so low and the impact of having long-standing staff members is incredible for the community feel and familiarity of the whole nursery. And the garden
setting is amazing in the summer!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Salcombe is a very nurturing day nursery with an extremely inclusive environment. The members of staff are extremely attentive and push the children to reach their full potential. We are very happy with the service we have had from the nursery, as well as the progress our children have made from the
moment they started at this setting.

Review from C A (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been with the nursery for about 2.5 years. My older son was also in the nursery for about 1 year before he started school.
I have been very happy with all aspects of the nursery. Friendly and consistent staff, no major turnaround in staff which is great because this is what was happening
at our previous nursery. My sons were able to develop good relationships with their carers. The outdoor space is great, especially the preschool space. Food options are good. Overall my sons were very happy and so were my husband and I.

Overall, a good experience with the school. My child loved going to the preschool and felt comfortable with the staff and other students at the school. I could see my child developing in all aspects of learning. I hope this continues in reception.

The Preschool at Salcombe has been a warm and nurturing environment for our little one. The friendly atmosphere and the care and attention shown create a lovely family environment for the children. My child developed good social skills, made many friendships, and really enjoyed going there each day.
We would highly recommend it!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.402)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.402) out of 10 for Salcombe Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.702 for Salcombe Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.702
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Salcombe Preschool is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 7 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.
