Can't fault the care at Serendipity. The staff are wonderful and my little boy always has a fun-filled day. I can't believe how much they get up to! I love how much effort they put into everything they do, nothing is half-hearted! Lucky to have such a fabulous nursery on our doorstep.

Review from Kirsty W (Mother of Child) published on 14 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very anxious about sending my youngest to the nursery at eight months old, but nothing was too much to ask of the team, who reassured me, communicated regularly and made my return to work much easier knowing my girls were in safe hands. One has settled better than we ever imagined, and both girls
return home with smiles on their faces. One regularly plays preschool at home, pretending to be one of her teachers. The staff are fantastic, friendly and caring. The girls always eat well and take part in a variety of activities. Thank you so much!

My daughter loves attending nursery. She is so well cared for, and I never have to worry about her whilst she is there. I am kept very well informed about her daily activities and overall progress and know she is incredibly well-supported in her development. The staff are amazing and plan exciting activities
each day and know her well; they value feedback from parents to ensure good continuity of care. The manager works hard and is very understanding of changes in circumstances and does her best to accommodate changes to days where possible. I highly recommend this absolutely outstanding nursery.

It's my second child that I'm bringing into this nursery, and as usual, the staff have been brilliant, offering valuable support and guidance, answering any queries and offering tips, regarding my toddler, as he grows up. Couldn't ask for a better team!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attends Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave, and I couldn't be more happier with the nursery. My daughter loves attending, and her speech, confidence and knowledge have come on leaps and bounds since attending. The staff are friendly and attentive and are always happy to answer any questions
I have. They always provide her with a good range of activities that help my daughter gain valuable skills that have given her a great start to her learning. She loves the meals that are cooked for her, and they are always very nutritious. The whole team at Cotgrave Day Nursery are a credit to Serendipitys.

My daughter has had a wonderful experience all the way from nursery to pre-school. She's developed extremely well in preparation for big school. Serendipitys have provided great care and attention, and we will be thrilled to be sending her younger sister. Thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 204 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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave is based on 17 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
