Couldn't have got a better nursery for my little one, she loves going in so much she doesn't even wave me goodbye anymore. The staff are super supportive and friendly. They always take time to listen to you and they let you know how their day has gone.
My little one is thriving and I have no doubt
that she will continue to do with the help of the nursery and their staff.

Overall I am really happy with the service at this nursery, the staff are always really lovely and my son has bonded with many of them. He is always happy to attend and it has been apparent that the nursery has been instrumental in his learning and development journey. I would recommend any parents
looking for a nursery to try Rogers Burrow.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have 2 children; 3.5 yr old girl and a 21mth old boy. Both started nursery at 5mths of age. Leaving your baby is probably one of the most gut-wrenching experiences of early parenthood. On the first day, I cried. The manager took me into the office so that I could see on the CCTV that my daughter
was already over my departure and enjoying being cooed over by the staff and older babies.


In last the 3 years Roger Burrows has consistently provided exceptional care to our family. They have worked with us to support our children through a host of personal circumstances: Daddy deploying for extended periods of time with limited communication, Mummy being poorly in hospital, the arrival of baby#2, moving house, etc. The nursery has worked with us in supporting the children through them all. Not to mention the weaning, potty training and fussy eating phases! Our children are both happy, confident and outgoing which I credit, in no small part, to Roger Burrows nursery.

My son is really happy at Rogers Burrow on the base. He’s progressed so much since September last year. With their help he will be ready to start school soon. The staff are always friendly and helpful.


The only downside is it’s near impossible getting people onto the base for events who don’t already

have a family pass.


Lovely little nursery and well suited for naval families.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the second nursery my son has attended due to moving home, and I couldn't be happier. He loves going in each day (some days he doesn't want to come home!), and I feel his knowledge and skills have dramatically improved since starting here 18 months ago.
The staff are always friendly and the
feedback at the end of the day is really helpful. The new garden facilities are lovely and they are always involved in messy and sensory play activities. The home cooked meals are one of the outstanding features of this nursery, leaving me confident that my child is well fed through the day.

My daughter started this nursery when this November she was 17 months old and has already come on leaps and bounds with her words. She enjoys coming to nursery as she has made great bonds with the staff and other children.


The range of activities she does on a daily basis is great and the food is

varied and healthy. As a working parent, it is so reassuring to know my daughter has the best of care at nursery with staff who are caring and attentive. I highly recommend this nursery!!

My son loves going to this nursery. They have shown lots of patience and encouragement in developing his skills and speech.
Always plenty of fun activities happening with themed days once a month and food tasting which helps encourage them to try new things.
Staff are all very helpful and seem to
really enjoy their job. Would highly recommend.

My God Daughter has been attending Rogers Burrow for just under a year now and has gained so much confidence in herself. She is currently in the baby room, which I know the staff do individual planning to meet her needs. They have an online system which the staff send photos and other information through
to her mum and which I am then able to view which is lovely.

Review from Rhian D (Mother of Child) published on 21 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I started my daughter at nursery in February. When walking into nursery, all of the staff are welcoming and happy. They immediately engaged with my little girl, asking about her night or what we have been up to. They listen to any concerns I have with her development. We had settling in sessions and
the staff made us both feel welcome. We sat down together and went through my daughter's routine as she was 8 months old. They ensured they had all of the information ready for her to start her three days a week at nursery. From the first day, they made her feel so welcome and made me feel at ease with leaving her. I was a bit apprehensive due to being a single mum and her only spending time with me. They built up the relationship needed for my clingy little girl. Now, my daughter loves attending nursery and has developed so much. They have helped her to learn to walk and she is beginning to learn new words and enjoys the freshly cooked meals they prepare on site.

Since my daughter began at nursery in February 2016 at 8 months old. She has grown and developed so much. Being a single mother I felt quite anxious to leave her at nursery for me to return to work. But the staff made her feel so welcome and took their time helping her adjust to the nursery feel.


The

staff are helpful with different situations, as when my daughter started she was quite fussy, but now with perseverance she will eat almost anything they cook. She enjoys the cook foods they provide and loves the baby room that she can roam around and explore. I can't thank Roger's Burrow enough for everything they have done so far and will continue to do as my little girls gets older.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Roger Burrows when he was 18 months old. He is now almost 3 and in the last 18 months his attendance at nursery has helped him flourish into an intelligent, caring little boy with limitless energy and lots of friends. The staff at Roger Burrows exude warmth and care whilst remaining
professional. The menu each day is varied and nutritious and obviously tasty as my fussy eater comes away having eaten everything provided. The activities he does on a daily basis he enjoys and he always looks forward to his nursery days. His baby sister is due to join him in the new year. I trust them implicitly with my children and therefore would highly recommend Roger Burrows to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Pixieland Day Nursery - HMS Drake 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.892 for Pixieland Day Nursery - HMS Drake is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.892
  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 Pixieland Day Nursery - HMS Drake is based on 11 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
