During the three years my daughter attended Caerleonm Child Care they were fantastic. So caring and understanding of both her needs and personality and mine as her mother.
She formed caring bonds with key workers at each development stage.
Communication throughout the pandemic has been excellent.

My 4-year-old and 10-month old daughters both attend the nursery full-time; my eldest has been there since she was 6 months old. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the nursery to anyone. Caerleon Child Care Cardiff is like a second home to them, the staff are brilliant and take a
genuine interest in the care and development of the children. Throughout Covid they have been amazing at keeping us updated and managing risks. An outstanding nursery in our view!
Reply from Louise Diamond, Administrator at Caerleon Child Care Cardiff

Despite the huge challenge of covid that the team are up against, their service is outstanding. Arrival and pick-up times are seamless, they are always professional and friendly and the place still beautifully decorated. e.g. graduation, Halloween. All their dedication and hard work is very much appreciated
and certainly not forgotten. Absolute stars. My little one is my second child to attend Caerleon and she is excited to attend and beaming every time I collect. Communication is excellent also, which is essential when choosing a childcare provider. Thank you all.

Absolutely gutted my son won’t be returning to Caerleon after my hours changed at work so it’s no longer needed. Took my son a while to settle in but every member of staff welcomed us and settled us in, so amazing. Really clean and friendly nursery and would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic nursery. Every time we visit on open days the staff are exceptional. My daughter loves her nursery days and she has grown in confidence through the activities they do and the teaching they give her, the attention to detail the staff have is second to none.

Caerleon Nursery is an excellent nursery. It has everything you could wish for when caring for your child. The staff are very friendly, always make your child and yourself welcome and they are very professional - nothing is too much trouble for them. The food and meals are very nutritional and my daughter
eats well there. What I really like about Caerleon, including the amazing staff, is the security and the facilities. There is a double door system that means you are unable to get in or out of the nursery without a member of staff present. Facility wise, the rooms are large, bright & colourful with a lot of things for the children to do and also the staff do a lot of activities with them. The children also have exclusive access to the soft play at certain times in the day and this has really encouraged our daughter's adventurousness. Parking is easy and immediately outside. It certainly is an amazing nursery and I would recommend to anyone to send their children there.

Review from Sheryl D (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Caerleon for almost two years. We relocated to Cardiff from London which was a huge change for us, especially for my son. The staff were great and did an amazing job in settling him into the nursery. The nursery has excellent facilities. I felt that there were so many new and different
activities (inside and outside) that my kept my son entertained and helped with his development. My son has recently been diagnosed with ASD and before diagnosis, Caerleon were so supportive in providing information/reports to our consultants/specialists and helped facilitate with any recommendations of learning development provided by them. Caerleon ensured that our son was made aware of the Early Years Forum, helping us with the process of ensuring he has the right support for when he starts school. It was such a challenging time for us as parents but we felt such tremendous support from all the staff. We cannot thank them enough for all their support and their genuine love and care for looking after my son.

I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my daughter. The staff are amazing, so friendly and supportive to my daughter, as well as myself. My daughter, like most babies, did struggle at the beginning but the staff in the baby room have helped her settle in so well. They do so many activities during
the day and I have a full report when I collect her each day. I will definitely be recommending this nursery to others.

Due to relocation, we are having to change nursery after our daughter has spent a very happy year in the baby room. She has enjoyed so many new and different activities during her time and is kept thoroughly entertained every day. It makes it so much easier to go to work knowing she is so well looked
after and has such a great relationship with the staff, who are fantastic and go above and beyond to provide a caring and fun environment.


I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to anyone.


Thank you to all the staff at Caerleon Child Care. We will miss you!

An excellent facility with great staff. Overall very happy with the development of my child. Food and drink needs to be reviewed as often my child does not eat some food and no alternative is given. Very little contact with management.

My son has been attending here since he was 9 months old, just being diagnosed with a milk protein allergy I was quite nervous leaving him but all the staff were very supportive and gave me a lot of confidence. They provided him with dairy-free options and there have been no problems. He is now 2 1/2
years old and has been on the milk ladder for several weeks and has completed it successfully, during this I chose daily off the nursery menu what he could have, again the staff were very supportive throughout this. He is very happy here and has a lovely relationship with all the staff, highly recommend!

Review from Hannah R (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has recently started at this nursery 4 days a week in the baby room. The staff made me feel at ease from the very first transition session.
Every time I pick her up I'm informed of all her daily routine and the food she's eaten (she wasn't a good eater but she's coming on leaps and bounds
with the help and patience of the staff).
The girls in that room are amazing!
I feel happy going back to work knowing that they look after my little girl.


The nursery is huge with lots of new fresh toys.


Management and office staff are always happy to help and assist too, this nursery needs to get the certificate it deserves. They work hard and it does show.

Due to my house move, I have sadly had to change my children’s nursery and I cannot tell you how devastated I am to be leaving Caerleon Childcare. This nursery has the most kind and caring staff who go above and beyond to provide the most fun and supportive environment for your children. My children
love coming to this nursery, so much so that it is difficult to get them to leave at the end of the day! I have recommended this nursery to all my friends and will continue to do so as the developmental advances I have seen in my children are plain to see. Thank you to all the staff at Caerleon Childcare. I couldn’t have raised my children without you!

My daughter has been going there since she was one and always look forward to going in. There is a lovely atmosphere in all of the rooms she has been in from the baby room all the way up. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there are plenty of different activities going on both inside and outside.
My daughter is a very fussy eater but the fantastic staff manage to get a hot meal in her every time she is there.
Both my daughter I and will be disappointed when she starts school and has to leave. We will miss the great staff and welcoming atmosphere.

My daughter has been attending Caerleon Child Care since she was 8 1/2 months and is nearly 3. The staff have always been extremely friendly and can never do enough for her. The new manager has been a brilliant addition to the nursery, introducing new resources and activities, lifting the whole nursery
staff and children. Overall I am very happy to send my daughter here every day knowing that she is loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend Caerleon Child Care.

My daughter has been attending Caerleon full time since June 2017 when she was 7 months old. She's now 2 and this year has moved into her third room at the nursery. She has a fantastic time there and has made friends amongst both the other children and the staff who clearly care very deeply for the
children they look after.
They are always quick to tell us if she's been out of sorts or unwell which, along with the daily summaries we get, helps us to have a greater understanding for how she has been during the day as well as what activities she's done.
It's a pleasure dropping her off and picking her up. I feel she is safe and well looked after in their care.

Lovely Nursery. My daughter loves it here and is always excited to go in the morning.
She will have been going for a year now and always comes home happy.
The team really look after her and when I pick her up all the other kids look really happy too.
I have never had any issues in the time she’s
gone there.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.623)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.623) out of 10 for Caerleon Child Care Cardiff 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.877 for Caerleon Child Care Cardiff is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.877
  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 4.746 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Caerleon Child Care Cardiff 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 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.8 = 0.746
  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.
