As a parent, I am very happy that my child is interacting more with others, doing more diverse activities which are helping my child to develop her learning skills. Staff are well prepared and always helpful.

The kindness and professionalism of the staff made us choose this nursery. Our child learned so much during this last month. He made progress with potty training and he learned so many words (in just three weeks). He became more sociable. We like the approach of the staff (used by the staff) by learning
through play and teaching the kids to be more independent and take initiative and decisions.

A beautifully run nursery establishment which provides a safe and clean place for children to learn, develop and strive in. The manager of this nursery ensures that adequate indoor and outdoor activities are in place using the aid of 'themes'. Our child has learnt so much since she first started coming
here. The love and care that go into planning activities and day trips is so lovely to see. The staff are very in sync with each other. An excellent job.

My daughter was not speaking when she started this nursery and in a couple of weeks she started speaking and learning and she is more confident playing. So a big thank you to all the staff.

I am very happy with my decision to enrol my daughter at Christchurch Kindergarten. They have plenty of activities, time spent outside and many new things learned each day. The staff are very kind and very patient with the little ones. My daughter is very happy and she really loves the time spent at
the nursery.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Christchurch Kindergarten in Queensbury since January 2019 till July 2019. I have not seen any improvements. Every time I mention a concern they have not taken it seriously. The time my daughter was there she came home with nappy rash and dry poo, number occasions I mentioned
it to them.


My daughter's nursery was advised by senco we should apply for NEG 2-year-old funding, they did not mention to us we list term of funding. Child hurt herself at nursery they did not notify me or my husband, my child is under special care she's considered as special needs. She was always left on side. I spoke with nursery manager she said I wouldn't want you to put our nursery down because two-year-old funding it's not about the funding. The lack of support they have not taken it seriously I personally would not recommend this nursery, it's just a playgroup they do not teach anything.

A huge thank you to all the staff. My daughter loves going to nursery. Kindergarten has given our daughter everything and more than we hoped. She often tells us how happy she is at nursery. Kindergarten has provided so many wonderful experiences due to its wide curriculum, enriching the children. Our
daughter has learnt so much, but most of all she has had fun every day.

This nursery has gone beyond effort ensuring my daughter enjoys her stay. She has built her confidence and has improved her counting numbers and she sang a song.


Key workers work with the individual child and report their feedback via an app set up. I can view my daughter's profile with pictures

so that I can catch up on what she has done or learnt so far.


Well done Queensbury team.

I'm one of the luckiest parents ever to find such a place like that to put my own children in and be so relieved to keep them in a safe environment. The staff are amazing, good, nice and kind. They are taking care of the children very well helping them to learn new things and they are always up to date
for new activities, learning program so it's really great.
I'm so thankful to be one of their supporters.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.994 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.994
  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 Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery is based on 14 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 14 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.
