Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough of Home from Home Children's day nursery. From the exceptional facilities and the outstanding staff and management team they have in place - they have a fantastic set-up in every area.
My two children have attended the setting since 2018 and have both flourished from the
experience. I have always felt that both have received outstanding and genuine care from the staff and management within the nursery. My eldest child has additional needs and the nursery catered for this and developed specific plans to meet his needs without the push from myself. The educational element has been at the forefront of the boy's experience which has and will equip them well for the transition to school
I will be sad to see the end of our journey with Home from home when we take the step to school in September 22 but know they have more than equipped my children with the skills they need to take this step.
It truly is a Home from home.

Finding a nursery can be daunting, mothers guilt kick in, is it the best place? Is my child going to be happy? I can honestly say from the moment I walked in I wanted my son to go there. He's been there 2 years now and absolutely loves it! He's always happy and that puts me at ease whilst at work. All
the staff are amazing I literally can't fault anything about them. My son loves all the girls that's have helped him grow into a confident little boy. The food menu I get jealous over sometimes when I'm eating a sandwich and he's got home-cooked meals and desserts. I have highly recommended Home from home to anyone who asks what nursery my son attends. During covid which was a hard time for everyone they went above and beyond to make sure all the children and staff were well looked after. I know my son is going to miss all the girls once he leaves to start school. I will miss them all as well. I can't thank them all enough! 5* from myself and my boy.

I could not recommend this nursery enough. Every staff member is extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They go above and beyond every day. I can not believe how well the staff know all the children with their individual likes and dislikes. If my son is ever upset going (which isn’t often)
they know exactly which staff member to get and the right things to say to get him smiling and going in happy. He comes out every day smiling and happy and asks to see the staff when at home. I couldn’t have picked a better nursery and will be devastated when my son has to leave.

Home from Home Children's Day Nursery is a fantastic setting. It caters for the children brilliantly. I love that the staff keep in touch throughout the day updating me in how my little boy is doing, what snack/food he has had and sending some photos of him. My little one has now started performing
actions to songs and tries to sing along to them since attending the nursery. The staff are so friendly and are very approachable. I can go to work knowing my little boy is in safe hands. I would definitely recommend!

Home from Home is a brilliant nursery and my son loves attending. I couldn’t ask for better communication. A lovely morning message, live updates of meals, nappy changes and photos, which reassures me that my son is having a lovely day. Every staff member I’ve spoken to has been so kind. I would highly
recommend this nursery.

My son has attended this nursery since he was twelve months old. He is now two and half and thriving. He absolutely loves the staff members, they are like a big family. I also feel very supported by the staff. They keep me up to date continuously throughout the day, making me feel at ease. I one hundred
percent recommend this nursery, it’s the best in the area.
The food is amazing and they are always carrying out new and exciting activities. Thank you to Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd for everything so far.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended this nursery since 2019. The care and attention staff have provided has been exceptional, with the staff providing frequent updates throughout the day regarding toileting, food and observations. When moving rooms due to age, the transitional period has allowed my son to become familiar
with the room itself, the new staff and children he will be with. This not only allowed my son to feel comfortable but it has also put me at ease knowing he is safe and supported throughout the period of change. I absolutely love the daily observations and photo’s I receive via the app. My son loves to look through the photos once he is home and they help us to talk about what he has been doing during the day. My son loves attending the nursery, with him frequently talking about nursery, staff members and the children he is with. It honestly does feel like a 'home from home’ and I cannot thank the staff enough for the support they have provided to my son and myself.

My daughter first attended this nursery five years ago and she absolutely loved it here so it was an easy decision to send my son now. My son was a lockdown baby so found it really difficult at first but the staff here were so good with him and he settled very quickly. He has an amazing bond with the
girls now and is so excited to go each day. I would highly recommend this nursery!

My little boy started at Home from Home January 2021 after being recommended by a family member. During my son's time at Home from Home, he has received nothing but love and kindness from his key worker and the girls. My son was admitted to hospital a few weeks ago and was unable to attend nursery for
a number of weeks. During the weeks of my son's absence, the girls were emailing, phoning and checking in on my son which was so lovely. My son attends nursery Tuesday and Wednesday mornings while I am at work, I can honestly say it's the highlight of my day receiving updates and photos of my son's day through the app, knowing how much fun he has had with his friends. The variety of meals I see my son is eating is amazing. I can't praise the staff enough and I'm so thankful for everything they do for my son.

I cannot praise the staff at Home From Home enough. They are absolutely outstanding at what they do and provide a professional service with first class care to my daughter. As I'm sure like many children, the pandemic has had an impact on them, particularly in my daughter's case where seeing new faces
and mixing with other people has been quite challenging. She absolutely worships her key worker and feels safe, happy and content with her which as a parent is all I ask for. Everything from the care provided, to facilities, equipment and nutrition is exceptional. Thank you Home From Home.

My little boy has been attending the nursery for over a year and the progress he has made during his time there is incredible. He absolutely loves going to nursery every morning and runs in and I always walk away happy knowing he’s going to be cared for so well and he’ll have the best day. All of the
staff are so attentive and let me know about his day and sending photos etc. so I’m at ease knowing he’s having a lovely time. The only issue I ever have is getting him out of there to go home as he’s having too much fun. All of the food is prepared fresh and always a good variety, with extra options available if they don’t like it. Prior to here, he attended another nursery and this one is head and shoulders above it! Honestly couldn’t recommend the nursery enough!

Would continue to support and recommend Home From Home even when my child moves onto school.
All doing an amazing job.

Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is a fabulous place for my little boy to play and learn, he's always coming home with beautiful craft, new words and a smile. What more could you want? I can't thank the staff enough for all that they do for him and all of the other children too. They're so
kind, caring and will always keep me updated throughout the day via the app, which I love as I get photo updates too. The facilities are fabulous, the food always sounds lovely and the updated gardens look amazing. The nursery celebrate the special days throughout the year such as St David's Day, Chinese New year and Diwali. This gives the children a chance to learn about other cultures as well as their own, which I think is lovely. Charity days are also celebrated where the nursery holds fun days to raise money for good causes. Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is definitely a nursery I would recommend and I'm so glad I chose to bring my little boy here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old, he is now 3 and has done amazingly well during his time within the nursery upstairs and downstairs. He loved every single member of the staff and talks about them regularly at home. His development from being at the nursery is outstanding and
I thank all the staff for that. I am happy when I drop him off in the morning knowing he is in safe hands. The new developments made to the downstairs and grounds are fantastic to the children's needs. I used to go there as a child when it was a chapel and also my parents were married there so seeing it now, it's is great to see some original parts still within the building and hasn't lost that history.
Highly recommend this day nursery.

A really lovely nursery, I have no reservations sending my son in knowing he is in good hands. It's a lovely, large child friendly space and kids are taken out regularly for small walks. A good mix of free play, chilling out and structured activities. Staff are wonderful with the kids and it is a joy
collecting my son at the end of the day and hearing a little bit about what he has been up to.

My little man has attended here full time since three months old and is now 18 months old and he has loved every minute!
The staff are so friendly and they really do care about each and every child they look after. They are equally as happy to see my little one in the morning as he is to see them.
It’s all just lovely.
My son comes home with some masterpieces that he’s made throughout the day, and the regular pics of him enjoying his day really do put my mind at ease whilst working full time.
The name is so appropriate because my little one really does feel like it’s his home from home.

As a father, the early development of my daughter is of the utmost importance to me. On that note, I am extremely happy with how well my daughter is able to communicate and interact with others and that is in part to how well she is taught at Home From Home. She often names all the girls and babies
she has seen in the day, with a huge smile on her face. I particularly like the detail of the daily diary and the lovely cards, etc. she brings home for us. I don’t get to pick my daughter up often, but when I do, the girls are always very friendly and take the time and effort to explain in detail what my daughter has been doing. Finally, I would also like to note that Home From Home takes security extremely seriously, which is fantastic from a parents point of view.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.993 for Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.993
  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 Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is based on 25 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
