Review from Julian P (Father of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has been an answer to our prayers, they have been very very good, with our soon who is 3, he had difficulty adapting at the begging, however, their professional staff managed every difficult drop off flawlessly, now a few months in he is so happy when he sees the gates and even more when
greeted by the staff, we will recommend 100 percent to anyone interested in a great local nursery.

Review from John N (Father of Child) published on 5 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our children have been attending Safe & Sound Nursery for approximately 5 years and it has been a most rewarding experience for them and for us as parents. They have developed their social skills and personalities in an environment which is safe, child-friendly and conducive to interaction, learning
and development with the other children and the staff. In particular, the staff are professional, courteous, caring, highly trained and fully understanding of the needs of the children. We also really appreciate the flexibility shown by Safe & Sound Nursery in accommodating our children to meet our changing work commitments. I cannot commend highly enough the manager and her team and would thoroughly recommend Safe & Sound Nursery to other parents/guardians.

Review from Sinead M (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started attending Safe & Sound when he was nine months old. All of the staff are so friendly and immediately put us at ease starting our nursery journey. They couldn’t be more helpful and are very accommodating and supportive, nothing is a problem. Our son loves going to see all of his friends
at nursery and it has been wonderful to see him learn and develop in such a fun environment. Safe & Sound was recommended to us through a family member and we are very grateful, I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a private daycare setting for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I went back to work my son was only ten weeks old and I was extremely reassured leaving my very young baby in capable hands at Safe & Sound. The girls are so helpful, he just loves them. He has settled in well once he returned after the COVID-19 lockdown period.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
100% happy to send our little girl into the nursery, knowing she will be well cared for and always has an amazing time. All the staff have made her feel so welcome, and it has warmed our hearts to see her happy to go in and progress on to their pre-school facility. Delighted that we can see what she’s
doing through the day via the Facebook page, it’s lovely being able to watch her learn and grow. Undoubtedly follows through in her home life - every day is a new song or dance. Thank you so much Safe & Sound.

I honestly cannot recommend Safe & Sound nursery enough. My son has been going since I started back to work two years ago and he absolutely loves it and the staff. The staff are approachable, friendly, helpful and supportive. I feel confident leaving my son here knowing that he enjoys his time here
and being very well cared for especially in these difficult times. Thank you girls for the wonderful work you do.

The team at Safe & Sound does a terrific job. The change in my son from when he started going there until now is superb. He’s much more outgoing and a lot less shy. The range of activities and tasks they do on a daily basis is highly interactive and fun for the kids. My son loves going there and he
sees it as his second family almost. I can’t give high enough praise for the professionalism and friendliness of all the staff.

Since returning to daycare after lockdown, the staff have gone above and beyond in not only their approach to health and safety, communication to anxious parents but also rebuilding the routine, social skills and activities my child had missed since March. The staff are a credit to the nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.069)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.069) out of 10 for Safe & Sound Daycare Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Safe & Sound Daycare Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.069 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Safe & Sound Daycare Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.069
  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.
