My daughter has loved her time at this child care facility. I felt very confident leaving her with the staff, she was really happy to go into nursery. The staff are amazing and I’m sure my child will miss them greatly as she moves onto her school nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are all absolutely fantastic. They really care for the children and it shows with the great relationship they have with them. They are approachable, friendly and understanding to parents. My children have all loved nursery and I will be very sad when the day comes that my youngest leaves.
Couldn't recommend highly enough. Fantastic.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kilton Childcare is a wonderful setting which has cared for both of my sons since October 2018. My youngest was full time until recently and it was clear his key workers knew him well. The nursery staff constantly change the setting and activities available to suit the interests of the children and
my boys have done so well under their care. They provide a safe, stimulating and exciting environment both in and outside and will help your child achieve above and beyond their potential. I could not be happier to have had the team support my boys through their early years.

Very lovely staff who are caring. My daughter comes home with things she has made with the staff, they do reviews and also send you photos and updates which I find fantastic as it really puts your mind at rest.

Since sending my son to nursery he has learned and developed in huge amounts. Staff are very friendly and approachable and my son has made an excellent bond with them. Staff reassure me my son has an enjoyable time at nursery by sending images and frequent messages on the 'family' app.

Review from Clare R (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing staff. By far the best childcare setting that my children have been to and I have four children, of whom all have been to a day care setting.
The staff are always helpful, friendly, always available to speak. They look after the children extremely well and are all caring.
The room is clean
and always set with a variety of activities to enrich the children’s learning. They have a very good routine.
My son has just left to go to school but my 2-year-old daughter has just started. I have no concerns what so ever and I am at ease to leave my children there and they love going and can tell me what they have been doing. They also have an app to enable communication at all times and for you to see what your children have been doing, what they have eaten and any nappy changes etc. It really an all-round fantastic setting and an amazing team and I would highly recommend it!

Review from A B E (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall, the setting is very positive for children. My child is young and needs lots of support overcoming separation. A national government-led initiative at Longfellow has done just this. Giving me the confidence to know she is well looked after when she's with them. She is learning so very much from
all aspects.

Fantastic nursery, since my son has been attending here his social skills have improved massively. He loves going daily and the staff treat him as one of their own. Wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

The care my daughter has received has been fantastic. All the staff are so supportive and helpful. They have helped my daughter thrive, her confidence has grown so much since starting. My daughter enjoys coming and has so much fun.
The room is lovely, colourful there is so much for the children to

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Early days yet but I'm very happy with the care of our child at Kilton Childcare after a few anxious moments, in the beginning, she seems happy to stay at the nursery.
The care staff are really helpful and our child never wants to return home at the time of collection. Mummy and I are very happy to
leave her in very capable hands of the nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Kilton Childcare 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.950 for Kilton Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.95
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kilton Childcare is based on 15 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
