I knew from the very first time I walked in the nursery to look around this was the right place for my little girl. My little girl started the nursery at the end of September, she has settled in really well and has come on so much since attending 3 days a week. She has so much fun and I know she is
well looked after. The staff in baby room are fantastic, I always feel welcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Storytime is a wonderful nursery. The staff are amazing with the children, you welcomed in to nursery with staff greeting you and saying good morning (Child's name) no matter which staff member is greeting you. The staff are great with all the children and make it a fun, exciting yet safe environment
for them.
My daughter started off in baby room at around 1yrs old and is currently in pre school in her final year at Storytime and I will be gutted when she has to leave next year as I'm sure my daughter will too. They have made her in to an amazing little girl who is confident, clever and most of all happy.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

An excellent facility. My grandson has been there since 3 months old and has flourished throughout this time due to attentive, knowledgeable and skilled staff. Their interaction with the children is always fun and also educational, and the atmosphere is conducive to learning The staff are very friendly
and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I cant recommend Storytime highly enough.

I have a 4 year old who attends Pre School & a 2 year old in Toddlers, I cannot fault Storytime Nursery. The staff are brilliant and build great relationships with each child. As a parent I am kept up to date on how they get on each day & they both love being there! They do a great range of activities
& even have days out to the park or library.

My two little girls go to this nursery and love it not just their friends there but the workers too and I would definitely put my 3rd baby bump in this nursery when he is a bit bigger :) I have a great relationship with all the girls too they are so friendly!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nice to see my daughter so happy in this nursery, she is settled and loves her nursery family, the staff are brilliant at what they do and they are very friendly. After using a previous nursery and seeing how unhappy my daughter was I made the choice of moving her to Storytime, the best decision I've
made. I would recommend 100%, thank you Storytime.

The staff are very friendly and caring. They always make time for all the children. Plus I've noticed a huge development in my child's learning. They do a range of activities with the children both indoors and outdoors.

My daughter finished at Storytime in August ready to start school and I would just like to thank the staff in the pre-school room for the excellent job that they have done to get my daughter ready for the big school, they built her confidence tremendously. She will now speak out in class discussions
which is a massive step. Thank you once again girls keep up the hard work.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.982)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.982) out of 10 for Storytime Private Day Nursery 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.982 for Storytime Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.982
  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 Storytime Private Day Nursery is based on 23 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 23 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.
