Review from Rachael R (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Tilly-Mints Cherubs Day Nursery Ltd since she was six months old and she loves it. All care is child centred. The staff are consistent, compassionate and knowledgeable. Information is always available on how my daughter is progressing, in both her social skills and language
skills, which have both definitely been enhanced with her attending nursery. Being around other children in a Covid-19 safe environment has definitely been extremely reassuring for my daughter and us during the pandemic. It has meant that my daughter had a little bit of “normality” during this challenging time. We find the fees very reasonable for the level of care my daughter receives. Meals are always enjoyed and an adequate hydration is ensured whilst my daughter is running around Usain Bolt! All the care professionals at nursery do an amazing job and despite varied messy play activities, my daughter always comes back clean. This is a miracle and deserves a five star rating alone!

Tilly-Mints is a brilliant early year setting with extremely caring and genuine staff. With a variety of activities, learning tool, toys and outdoor space for the children to choose from. With a healthy variety of breakfast, snacks and lunches, my son is trying lots of new things, which is great! My
son has made friends and has a great connection with all the friendly staff members. I wouldn't send him anywhere else!

I have twins in the nursery and they have always been well cared for and happy since babies.
Great activities and good caring staff.
I feel communication could be better in terms of being able to put in holidays and with regards to payment.

My son has been attending this nursery for 4 months now and he thoroughly enjoys it. The staff here are very friendly and helpful telling me what my son has been up to that day and what he's eaten. My son has come on a lot from starting this nursery and am glad I made Tilly-Mints my first choice to
send my son.

Staff are extremely friendly and my daughter looks forward to going every day.
My daughter has additional needs and staff work hard to give her the same opportunities as every other child and spend a lot of time teaching her with learning aids. I am so glad I chose Tilly-Mints.

Both our son and daughter attend Tilly-Mints and they have thrived since they started.
The staff are very accommodating and caring for our children and they have been excellent in advising how the children are doing every day. It is preparing them well for school.

Our daughter is learning French at the moment and has got star of the week once.
She's excelled with her English speech and has developed more within herself.
I would love to thank all the staff of Tilly-Mints, they do a fab job and my daughter loves it.

Tilly-Mints is a fab nursery. My little boy has been going since he was 8 months old, since then his confidence has been incredible not only that but his speech skills and general education knowledge is unbelievable. He is 2 now and everyone comments on how advanced he is. I believe this is down to
nursery not only this each and every member of staff are fab and always go above and beyond.

My little boy has been going to Tilly Mints since he was 1 year old. He started off in the baby room and he has moved on to the bumble bee room. He has come on leaps and bounds since being there. All the staff are lovely and made me and my little boy feel reassured when we leave each other from the
start. My little boy loves going and gets very excited when he knows its a nursery day.

My daughter has settled for nearly 2 years now. Only 2 days a week but she really enjoys it. She likes going, no crying or clinging to Mam or Dad which fills me with confidence that she is happy, feels safe and well looked after. Staff are very friendly.

Great friendly nursery and I know my children are being well looked after. The nursery has gone out of their way to custom my children's vegan diet.
Lovely staff, who have helped my little boys settle straight in, even when one was upset they knew what to do and can see improvement everytime he goes
in! Can't recommend the ladies enough they do a great job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff are extremely friendly, nurturing and caring towards our daughter and it is clear they have her best interests at heart. She absolutely loves coming to nursery and has settled in really quickly, thanks to all the lovely staff. She also has a good appetite and we are really happy with the
nutritious and balanced food provided throughout the day and also the range of activities the children take part in. We have appreciated the nursery's efforts to form a parent partnership with us through activities such as the autumn 'Welly Walk' and the Christmas Fair as well as the small (age appropriate) homework tasks. Overall, we are confident that our daughter is safe, happy and her development is flourishing at Tilly-Mints Cherubs Day Nursery.

We couldn't be happier with Tilly-Mints. My daughter is thriving and looks forward to going each day. We have all built up a great relationship with the staff. Nothing is a bother to them. They treat each child as an individual and I have already recommended Tilly-Mints to a number of other mums.

Our son has attended from the age of 8 months old and loves being there. The level of care shown has been amazing and the professionalism is clear to see from his development. We would recommend this nursery to anyone without hesitation. It's clear that the staff care and know each child as individuals
and work so hard to meet their individual needs and ensure they feel valued and cared for.

This is a very organised establishment which my little girl loves going to.
The staff and facilities are first class.
We have had our daughter here since she was 10 months old and have nothing but good things to say about the nursery.
We will all be sad when she leaves to start a new adventure at
Primary School in September.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has attended the nursery now since he was 7 months (he is now 2) and loves all the varied activities on offer. It is an excellent nursery that I would highly recommend to anyone. The staff genuinely care for the children and provide the love and stimulation you want for your child. His
development has almost certainly been enhanced because of his attendance, he has already learnt so much and is a very sociable little boy always coming home singing songs that he has learnt and chatting about his best friend and staff. They also have an outdoor play area which is great as my child loves to be outside kicking a ball, climbing or playing on the bikes.


The staff really go the extra mile, nothing is too much trouble, they have met his dietary requirements of a milk free diet, and the help and support I have received from the nursery these last few months have been amazing I can't thank them enough!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.904) out of 10 for Tilly-Mints Cherubs Day Nursery Ltd 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.904 for Tilly-Mints Cherubs Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 406 Ratings = 4.904
  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 Tilly-Mints Cherubs Day Nursery Ltd is based on 33 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 33 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.
