Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I took my twin boys out of a nursery and brought them to Springs Nursery and it was the best decision I have made, since my boys have been there their confidence and behaviour has improved tenfold in such a short space of time, I cannot thank the staff enough for their
input. All the children are treated with the utmost respect as individuals which clearly can be seen in the classrooms, the attention to their well being is just so refreshing.
My boys are safe and secure, but most importantly they are happy!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started here a few months ago and he was quite clingy, however, the staff are great and very personable with him and he quickly felt safe and settled and was happy for me to leave him. He loves it now and looks forward to going and then coming home to tell me all about it. Best decision
I’ve made was to put him in to get him used to that type of environment ready for school. Now he’s more than ready. Thanks for everything you’ve done for him!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started coming back in February and was unsure and not keen for me to go, she still is some days, but the staff are good at taking her and distracting her. She has come on really well, she is growing in confidence and starting to join in more due to lots of encouragement from her Keyworker
and other staff members. She is being more vocal now too which is great.
I would recommend Spring to anyone, thanks Ladies for all you do to help our children on a daily basis.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both my boys attend Spring Kinloss and have settled in really quickly. They have a great indoor and outdoor space for the kids to explore and there is a lot of free-flowing play which my boys love.
I love hearing about their day when I collect them and there is always new nursery rhymes for them to
teach me.

My son loves going to nursery and is really excited to go there every day. He loves the teachers and has made some great friends. His language skills, knowledge and confidence have really improved since he started.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All 3 of my boys have come to this nursery from babies. My youngest really enjoys his time spent at nursery. The staff are brilliant - professional, approachable, caring and nurturing. There is such a good variety of activities for the children, both indoor and outdoor, to support their learning and
development. Knowing that my son is happy, well looked after and safe means I can go to work without worrying about him.

Review from Sara-Jane B (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Spring Kinloss since he was 8 months old. He loves it. He is comfortable with every member of staff, loves the play area and the outside activities. I feel incredibly comfortable and happy when I leave my son at Spring Kinloss. I never have worries or concerns and even if I
did, I know the staff would take the time to resolve any issues. They are always happy to talk about my son, whether it be a snotty nose or his development, if you want to talk, they will take the time to reassure you. Spring Kinloss is a wonderful place, I recommend it to everyone I talk to and I feel incredibly lucky that my son has started his educational journey at a warm, encouraging, friendly, happy and amazing place.

I have been coming to Spring Kinloss for nearly six years with my three boys. The staff are amazing and work very hard and have a very hard job. I will be sad in two years when all my boys have finished nursery and are away to school, times goes so fast. My eldest is in p2 and still says he would love
to be back at nursery. Amazing memories and still more to be made. Thanks Spring Kinloss for everything.

My daughter has attended Kinloss Nursery now for over a year. She thoroughly enjoys her days spent there. The staff are amazing and my daughter has her favourites who she often says she likes more than me.
She's always doing different learning activities and is always happy when attending. She has
learnt so much in one year of being there. Happy child = happy mummy.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.536)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.536) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Kinloss 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.969 for Spring Nursery Kinloss is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.969
  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 4.567 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spring Nursery Kinloss is based on 11 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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.567
  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.
