Very satisfied with this nursery. Staff are very good, and my daughter looks forward to going to the nursery every day.
She has been with the nursery for over a year, and we haven't had any reason to complain.

Amazing nursery with lovely staff.
Our little boy loves going, and we love the communication while he is at nursery - staff give us updates throughout the day.
Our little boy has settled in so well thanks to the amazing staff at this nursery.

My little girl has attended this nursery from being a very young age. With her being my only child, I was very apprehensive about who was to care for her. As soon as I met the team at Springs, I knew this was the correct place for her. Cannot recommend this nursery enough. She wants to leave her full-time
school to come to Springs full-time. She enjoys every second of being there, and we will always use this nursery in half-term holidays, as I get told from her this is the only place she wants to go. She loves the staff and gets so excited to go here. She has also talked about it that much in her school that her friends are now coming here also. 10/10 from us, and thank you for always putting my little girl's needs first.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was always anxious about placing my child in the care of someone else while I went to work. I think we all are. I hoped that someone would watch and care for my child in the same way I would as being their mother. Spring Layfield is that place. The care they provide is exceptional; my child will literally
run into the nursery and not look back to even say goodbye. That’s how much he enjoys going! I couldn’t thank the girls enough. I love how informed and involved the parents get to be about our children’s care as well, via the app. I would 110% recommend to any parent who is looking for childcare/nursery and is anxious about who minds their child… to consider Spring Layfield because, after one visit, the nursery speaks for itself! Thank you so much again to all the staff.

Exceptional nursery!
The staff made my little girl settle in instantly. She loves attending the nursery, and I feel happy knowing she’s safe, cared for and playing while learning. The nursery is clean, secure and a great environment for her. Very happy! Can’t thank the manager and her team enough.

My son has been in incredibly safe, nurturing hands while at Spring-Layfield. He absolutely loves going and adores the staff. The manager and the other fantastic staff have helped me so much too, nothing has ever been too much trouble - they really are the friendliest, most down to earth caregivers.
I’ll always be glad I made the decision to send my son here.

My seven-year-old son really enjoys coming to the holiday club at Spring Layfield, they have lots of activities planned so no two days are the same. The staff are amazing and let me know what he's been up to. He can be a fussy eater but he loves the food here and will always try new things which is
great. Thank you all!

My daughter has been within this setting for almost 12 months now, and she has always been very happy here. There seems to be a good variety of activities for the children. The level of care provided by the staff is very good.
My daughter feels very settled and happy. The staff have also been very
supportive of myself, and provide very good feedback regarding the activities my daughter has been involved with. From my experience, I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Both of our children have gone to Spring Layfield since around five-months-old. We can not recommend the staff enough. It is very small and personal, with lots of little touches to make the children feel special important. Both are now excelling in their learning. Highly recommend!

Love this nursery. Have always made my little boy feel very welcome since he started and also me. Very friendly staff always have time to update me on my son's day. He's now moved to the preschool room and loves this just as much! Good range of activities and always delicious food options.

My daughter has spent almost 2 years here and we are both so sad to say goodbye. She is leaving for the reception and all the staff have helped make sure she is ready for full-time school. She really has blossomed at Spring and I am so thankful to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Layfield 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.887 for Spring Nursery Layfield is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.887
  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 Spring Nursery Layfield is based on 12 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
