Castle House Day Nursery, Warwick is extremely proud to hold an Ofsted rating of 'Good' (January 2022) offering both full and part-time childcare from 3 months to 5 years.

Practitioners are chosen with the main aim of providing a safe, secure and encouraging environment for children to develop and learn through play. They are caring, committed and fun, always interacting and valuing every child uniquely.

The team look to discuss regularly with parents and make detailed accounts of each child's learning progress as they advance towards full-time education, using a popular early years app to communicate with parents and carers.

The nursery has age-related rooms, a sensory room and a ball pool/soft playroom.

The nursery has an incredibly large outdoor space with different areas both fun and educational.

Castle House also has a designated garden area for Sheldon, the nursery tortoise where children get involved in helping to care for him and discussions on the healthy food that he eats.

There are regular visits in and around the historic town of Warwick.

Review from Katherine F (Mother of Child) published on 14 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son only attends a day a week (previously did two days), and I also sent my daughter here before she moved to a different preschool where we could make better use of the free hours.
We would absolutely recommend the nursery, my son loves his time there and comes out beaming with stories of all the
fun he’s had. I don’t think I could ask for much more (apart from inclusive classes run internally by the nursery staff rather than needing to pay on top of nursery fees). This is always an issue of mine as I feel a bit backed into a corner, but that being said I’m pretty sure Wednesday dance class is his favourite time of the day!
The staff are all lovely, we get great feedback and my children have always been happy here. It’s a large nursery, so handy having separate cot room for babies, sensory room plus a soft play room too, nice and open and loads of space. Always seem to be making improvements too which is nice to see.
Thanks Monkey Puzzle.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Kids Planet Castle House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.881 for Kids Planet Castle House is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.881
  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 4.991 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Castle House is based on 21 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.2 = 0.991
  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.

Vanessa

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Hello, my name is Vanessa and I am proud to be the Manager at Castle House. I hold a Level 3 qualification in Early Years and SEND, and I’ve been working in the early years sector since 2018.


I began my journey as an Early Years Assistant and have since gained experience across a large group of nurseries. Most recently, I managed a Pre-School provision at a local school. My passion lies in creating inclusive environments where every child and family feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.


As a mum myself, I understand how important it is to find a setting where your child feels safe, happy, and inspired. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring National Trust locations with my family and spending time crafting.


I am dedicated to supporting each child’s development and ensuring they reach their individual milestones in a nurturing and inclusive environment.
