Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loved the time she spent at the Building Block Nursery in Walton. They do lots of activities indoors and outdoors every day. The staff are great, they have work following a theme every month. My daughter learned a lot this way about the environment, social skills etc.


My daughter attended

lots of great parties; like for Christmas, Halloween, birthday parties etc. She has not been at the nursery for a couple of months now, but every now and again she requests to go there. Well done to the staff.

I am very happy that my daughter has been at Building Blocks Pre-School. She has learnt a lot of words, has done activities and made friends. She is always happy to stay and play. All the staff are very good, the food is great, the games, activities are wonderful and enjoyable. I'll recommend the nursery
in the future.

Review from Trisya O (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A wonderful nursery with kind and caring staff.


My older child didn't seem to enjoy her previous nursery, but as soon as she started at Building Blocks she couldn't wait to go. She progressed very well gaining in confidence (she loves dancing for everyone now) language and writing skills.


I

was so impressed I put my younger daughter in too and saw instant improvement in her behaviour (she was a challenging terrible two), speech and confidence.


The school kept me very well informed and I loved the daily updates and kind advice and suggestions, to make sure both my children were always performing at their best. It was very clear that they always had my children's best interests at heart.


A lovely little nursery that I would not hesitate to recommend to parents.

My daughter arrived at Building Blocks in January of this year and she was warmly welcomed by Barkha and all the team. I have found the level of care outstanding and my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time here and also learnt such a lot in the friendly family environment.
I especially like the
fact that the activities are so varied and interesting for the children - visits from the emergency services for learning purposes, as well as field visits to museums. On top of that they offer all the other added classes they can benefit from too (French, pyjama drama etc). I would highly recommend this nursery.

Both my children absolutely love going to nursery here. The staff are kind, knowledgeable and friendly. It is a clean, new environment with a fantastic outdoor area for the children to play in. It is a safe, well managed nursery with a lovely atmosphere. It has toys, facilities, arts and craft, messy
play to suit all. I wish I could stay too!!!

The review concerning my child was very well conducted and was very constructive. The nursery described how my child was during the day, what activities they did and how my child reacted to them. The nursery also made suggestions for progressing my child further, although they said they had no concerns
about where my child was at at this point in time.


My child is very happy at this nursery and the staff are all very friendly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter suffers from many life threatening allergies so sending her to nursery filled me with anxiety. However Building Blocks have been fantastic. They have gone above and beyond in ensuring that my daughter is in a safe environment. They always make me feel included and are brilliant at communicating
with parents. My daughter is so happy there. My daughter is two years old, but since attending Building Blocks she has become more confident and has made phenomenal progress. She is learning phonics and is able to draw shapes. She will also be taking Karate and French classes. Building Blocks has a fantastic range of activities and my daughter is always stimulated.

My child is happy at day care - she gets fed and kept well so that she does not feel hungry or tired. She is well engaged so she hardly misses home. Good updates are given by the carers. Understanding and flexible carers.

I have has a brilliant experience with Building Blocks. My child has learnt a lot from all the staff and has learnt new interaction tools and has become more independent and built storing bonds with other children. I feel the nursery has excellent standards and I would recommend to anyone.

My daughter absolutely loves this nursery. They are caring, they do lots of fun things and they spend a good amount of time outside playing. The nursery has lots of room for all the children so they have a really physical day as well as a day full of sensory interest. My daughter also loves the food
and come home very tired and happy every day. The staff are lovely.

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.
