Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Charlton Nursery, Flax Bourton has been a wonderfully supportive and friendly environment for our daughter (3 years). The staff are very approachable and clearly have the welfare and development of children as the number one priority. Handovers are always thorough and the amount of play and learning
activities on offer every day is always rich and varied. The additional activities such as yoga, French and forest school are always highlights. We fully trust the team at Flax with supporting our daughter through to when she is ready to start school. We would recommend this nursery to friends and family and have been really happy with the service that the manager and her team have provided to both of our children since 2020.

I wish I could give Charlton Nursery more than 5 stars. In December 2024 we suffered a huge family loss and the support that both I, and my son have received from Charlton was incredible. They have gone above and beyond to care for us both. My son loves going to nursery and has a lovely relationship
with all the staff. I am so grateful for all the staff at Charlton.

We joined Charlton House in Flax Bourton in January for our 1 year old. We have absolutely loved our experience. The communication is fantastic and you will always get a response via email that day.
Our child is in Daffodils and the staff in there are helpful and kind. Our son absolutely loves going
in and will often run off to say hello to the staff before we have time to say goodbye.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

We looked around a few nurseries for our child but Charlton Nursery and its caring atmosphere was head and shoulders above the rest.
Our little one absolutely loves going to nursery and everyone is so welcoming - we feel part of a family. The staff are amazing - there's always laughter and we are always
greeted with a smile. Everyone has taken the time to get to know our son, and us as parents, which we really appreciate.
Whenever we've had any issues with our little one, such as fussy eating or weaning off the dummy, the team have been super patient with him and tried lots of different techniques with him - plus they have all provided us with hints and tips as to help him at home too.
Our little one has developed so much since starting at Charlton and it's all down to the great learning environment provided by Charlton.

My 2-year-old son attends Charlton Flax Bourton and has always loved it there. It's a great setting with lovely staff that make it feel like a home from home. A special mention for two ladies - they are both brilliant, setting the tone for the nursery and how my son's room is managed. As a result of
my son's experience, I have friends who have also enrolled at the nursery as they have seen how much he loves it there. Thank you Team Flax for all that you do!

Charlton Nursery has been an amazing experience for our family. My son (3 years old) had to change nursery a year ago when we moved across the country, and he settled in so quickly. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable and empathetic. It feels like a team effort, with regular check ins and reviews.
They helped us with potty training and were supportive when he needed help with brushing his teeth. The outdoor space and activities are excellent and my son loves yoga, French and football. The daily menu is enviable too.

Our two daughters had their first week of nursery and all the teachers have been amazing with them, including the odd picture on the App to let us know they are happy.
We all feel very welcome and they love their teachers.

The care and experience at the nursery have exceeded our expectations. The general manager is outstanding. The team pays special attention to the needs of each child. The facilities are great and as parents, we feel like we are involved and a part of the community. Our daughter has settled incredibly
well due to the kindness and patience of the staff.

Review from Shanaz J (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We decided on Charlton Nursery after our initial discussion with the manager. Her dedication to the children resonated with us.
For the past three years, our son has attended Charlton Nursery. Our experience has been filled with various challenges, but the nursery staff made it easier. They listened
to our opinions, and if something didn't work, we found a solution together.
We had a view on how we wanted our son to be nurtured, and Charlton Nursery has been outstanding. They worked tirelessly to achieve the results we desired, and we are grateful for their dedication.
He has enjoyed his French, yoga, outdoor activities, baking, the sand pit, water play, forest school, and the construction site, and enjoyed the food.
Our son has flourished under their care. He is more independent, has found his voice, and has made friends. Most importantly, he is happy and school-ready.
The care and nurture at Charlton Nursery have positively impacted our son, and our experience has been excellent.

We are very happy with the exceptional care our son receives at Charlton. Each and every person is kind, well trained, and gets to know your child properly. I feel very confident leaving my son in their care. Charlton is a lovely environment with lots on offer (music class and French for example) and
always looks clean and well-maintained. We feel very lucky to have found this nursery, it shone compared to the others we visited.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have 2 children at Charlton (one who is in Sunflowers and attended the nursery for over 3 years and one who has just joined Daffodils) and I have to begin by saying that in the 3 years, we have never had anything but positive experiences.
My youngest recently joined the nursery in Daffodils room
and has some more complex needs when it comes to feeding, due to an extended stay in hospital from birth. The entire team at Charlton have been nothing but completely and utterly supportive and reassuring. They made his transition into nursery seamless and bent over backward to make it happen. They've been amazing at communicating with me and the girls in daffodils have been so kind and patient in learning his quirks. We've already seen such huge progress in his eating habits after just 2 weeks and that's entirely down to the work the team has done with him. I have no worries about leaving either of my children at Charlton because I know they are in the best possible care.

I have two children at Charlton Nursery Flax Bourton and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the welcome and settling period, right through to the pre-school prep the manager and her staff do an amazing job at developing children at all stages. The staff is always prepared to give you their time
to discuss your children and how they are individualising development for them with regular focus weeks on each child. There is a wide range of activities done so children can always find something they enjoy.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.651)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.651) out of 10 for Charlton Nursery - Flax Bourton 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 4.7 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 4.958 for Charlton Nursery - Flax Bourton is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.958
  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 4.693 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Charlton Nursery - Flax Bourton 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 101 number of registered child places is 20.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.693
  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.
