I am very happy with our experience so far with Squiggles Day Nursery, they have been so helpful and supportive with inducting our daughter and have made both her and us as parents feel so comfortable. It has a family atmosphere and I feel safe dropping my daughter here, I feel they genuinely care about
her and keep me updated with how she is. I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody and if we had another child we would sign them up to the same nursery and not bother viewing any others. Very happy with how they have accommodated us and how they care for my baby.

Our youngest son is currently at Squiggles and prior to that, our daughter was there, and both have done wonderfully. It is such a friendly, happy place, where children thrive. I couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you to the lovely staff for all you do for our children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have sent my child to Squiggles since October 2023 after him being with a childminder which just didn't work out. I am and have always been so pleased with the care they provide. My little boy has from day one been so comfortable there which in turn makes me feel so relaxed sending him to squiggles.
I don't once worry about him while he is in their care. He's come on so much since attending two days a week and I'm really looking forward to sending my second child soon.

Since starting at Squiggles my son settled in immediately, the staff are very friendly, warm and welcoming. I have seen so much development in my son since starting the nursery and he has grown in confidence! It is lovely to see how happy he is running through the door every day!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our twins attend Squiggles Day Care and Activity Club, and honestly since they started in 2024 we cannot fault the team.
They both go in so happy and excited to see the staff and the other children.
A huge bonus for us when choosing Squiggles was that it is a family run nursery. This is represented
through the staff who all seem to be one family, looking after our twins with so much love and care as if they are their own.
The developments and progression we have seen with our twins has been amazing, supporting them to achieve and succeed in their key milestones.

The staff at Squiggles are excellent, a lot of hard work goes into supporting each individual child and the team clearly works really well together in order to achieve this - offering the children so much variety. My daughter feels like she's part of a family there and the close relationships she has
formed with the carers are a testament to this.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.218)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.218) out of 10 for Squiggles Day Care and Activity Club 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 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 4.893 for Squiggles Day Care and Activity Club is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.893
  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 4.325 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Squiggles Day Care and Activity Club 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.625
  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.
