can't say enough wonderful things about this nursery. My son attended a few years ago, and now my daughter is there - and every single day she wakes up excited to go. That alone speaks volumes.
The team create such a nurturing, joyful environment that children genuinely want to be part of. My daughter
comes home full of stories, new things she's learned, and that happy tiredness you only get from a day well spent. It's clear how much care, thought, and heart goes into everything they do.

We have two children at Building Blocks. One is now in his final year. They have been brilliant throughout his time there, he has learnt so much, we've been really impressed. We can see already how they are preparing him for school and it's more than we expected. Our youngest one has only just started
but he's settled in so quickly and loves it already. The staff are wonderful, they were the main reason we chose this nursery, they genuinely care so much about the children which means a lot to us as parents. The extra activities are great, our son loves them, especially Playball and Rainbow Anna. When we get photos from their days the smiles say it all. They are also great when we need to add extra days due to other childcare, it makes it easier as working parents. A brilliant nursery, thank you!

Two kids have both had the best time at Building Blocks. The staff are lovely and there is a variety of activities. Additionally, the flexibility that they offer (ad hoc days/ hours etc) is so helpful for working parents.

Building Blocks was recommended to us a few years ago by a colleague and also came highly recommended by our neighbours who could not fault the Pre-School. Our son has been at another Nursery, and since being at Building Blocks he has developed and added to his skills. All the staff help to grow and
develop the children by teaching them much-valued life skills that I'm sure will remain with them as they grow into successful adults. I would like to thank the staff for taking the time to listen even when words are hard. Your hard work and dedication are very much appreciated. It certainly does take someone special to hear what a child can't say. Thank you for your patience each and every day. For holding the child's little hands and touching the parent's hearts with all the wonderful events and thoughtful activities.

The staff at this nursery are excellent and my daughter's current keyworker knows her extremely well and this was demonstrated in her report for parent's evening, which was very detailed and personal to my daughter. The nursery is very well managed and all staff are friendly and helpful. The pre-school
activities are wonderful and she loves her days at nursery.

My son has been at Building Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd for 3 months now and I couldn't be happier. He took a few sessions to settle in but the staff were amazing- very reassuring and caring and he soon settled in. Since then I love the atmosphere when I walk in - the biggest plus is the staff who
are always so engaged, caring and seems to be having fun with my son. Great space with different stations always set up with a great outdoor area.

Building Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd is an amazing daycare/nursery, to say the least. The staff are so warm, friendly and soft-spoken. To crown it all, my son has flourished under their care. Being a working mum leaves me filled with guilt sometimes and I worry about how my absence will affect my
son, but Building Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd staff have erased all my fears and doubts. The smile on my son's face when I drop him off, his amazing social skills and politeness, his academic growth are just a few of the things that have convinced me that Building Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd is the right choice for us.

Lovely warm and caring nursery. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds since joining Building Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd. I was warned about no spaces before joining the nursery and since starting preschool he has improved with his language day by day. He has made friends and is a happy child
and I am so grateful for all the care and love the nursery gives him and would suggest anyone looking for a great preschool to go and speak to the lovely nursery nurses at Building Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd.

Absolutely amazing nursery and preschool. My son has settled in amazingly all thanks to the staff. He has gained so much confidence since starting at Building Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd. They are so attentive to the needs of the children and he thoroughly enjoys himself. Can't recommend Building
Blocks Pre-School & Daycare Ltd enough.

My son started nursery from the time he turned 2. Ever since it has helped him develop beautifully. He’s now a 3 year who sings dances plays individually and in groups. He seems to know his manners very well. His eating habits have changed drastically and for the better. He can eat most of his meals
on his own without making a mess! Which I found a task to inculcate to him. He’s made so many friends and names everything that’s under the sun and in outer space too! I am honestly quite impressed and pleased with what the nursery has brought out in my son and hope they continue their brilliant work!

We are so happy with Building Blocks, our first child went there until school and our second is currently going there, both have been treated like family, their confidence is so visible from all the work Building Blocks do. They provide our children with so many fantastic developmental tools, everything
from yoga, French and ‘head’ stories (imaginative skills) to early writing skills and drawing skills. They also provide all sorts of fun local trips and special party days. I really can’t recommend them enough! It is so nice as a parent to know you are leaving your children in a fun, caring environment that they love.

My son has been at Building Blocks for more than 2 years. The nursery is well equipped and my son loves the big outside space with the playground area. He also loves the regular outings to the library, to the garden center or local parks or going for a boat trip. There are lots of fun activities for
children, inside and outside. The staff are friendly and always helpful. My son developing well there, getting ready to start school. Highly recommended nursery!

In the last year, my child has developed immensely! She can now recognize all the letters and even write her name. Given she’s not even 4 it’s quite impressive!! The staff at Building Blocks have been preparing her for school, both from a curriculum point of view (she can write her name!) but also from
an independence angle. They have helped get her totally clean, put sunscreen on herself and wash her hands alone!
It is a lovely nursery with adorable staff and full of fun activities.

I have twins and my children have been attending Building Blocks for around 9 months and I couldn’t fault this nursery in any way. The staff are always so reassuring and friendly, they are always on the ball and informative if my children have an accident and take great care of them. My children have
come on leaps and bounds with their speech, their learning and are doing a great job teaching them right and wrong. I have noticed an incredible difference in their behaviour and have learned to share well and play nicely with others. If ever I have a concern management are always on the ball to sort any issues there may be. All in all Building Blocks is a fantastic nursery and since joining a couple of people I know have joined the nursery since telling them how great the nursery is!

My daughter has been at Building Blocks for 6 months. In that time I have found the staff to be warm, welcoming, caring and attentive to both children and parents alike. The nursery offers a wide range of activities, outings and fun learning to keep the children happy and stimulated and active whilst
learning through play. Most activities are kept seasonal to teach the children about the world around them (there are too many to list here!) I would 100% recommend Building Blocks to everyone (and have)!

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.325)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.325) out of 10 for Building Blocks Preschool Walton-on-Thames 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.861 for Building Blocks Preschool Walton-on-Thames is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.861
  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 3.464 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Building Blocks Preschool Walton-on-Thames is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.214
  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.
