Excellent nursery. The staff are amazing, my little girl loves going she's come on so much since starting. The food they serve always looks amazing with the chef always sharing his recipes !
They have the children outdoors most days, with even trips to the local park.
And everything is logged with
photos on the app every day !

I cannot even begin to express just how amazing this nursery is. My son has been attending here since he was 15 months old and settled in really quickly. They take them out to the park, they feed them amazing and nutritious food and the staff are extremely lovely and nurturing to the children. I am
never worried when leaving my son as I know he is in very safe hands. My son is always happy to go and always has a really good time. He has made lots of friends and developed relationships with all the workers. I honestly want him to stay here forever and never go to school.

My daughter recently joined Almond House. The quality of care that has been provided along with the attention to detail to the progression of my daughter has been outstanding.
Kind and friendly staff are transparent with details of what my daughter has been up to during the day, her diet and fluid
intake and naps.
As a parent my mind has been put at ease with the regular updates and photos that are uploaded to the app and the attention to detail involved in changing activities throughout the day.
Additionally, through the app parents are provided with activity ideas heading into the weekend which is great for when you are stuck for something to do and provides a familiar topic for our little ones to discuss as a topic of conversation and interaction.
Could not recommend Almond House more!

Almond House look after my son and do a great job. A variety of activities, friendly staff and an amazing variety of meals weekly help my little boy explore new tastes and foods. It’s helpful with work, seeing what he has been doing throughout the day and all the different activities he has taken part
in.

My 3 year old son has been going to Almond House Nursery for a year now, one day a week when I attend Uni. Yesterday, I picked him up, and he ran to me for a cuddle. As soon as I picked him up, I smelt poo. His Nappy was absolutely caked in faeces, to the point it was all up his back. I laid him down
to clean him straight away and again, he was red raw, crying and wriggling in pain as I wiped off the poo, to the point I had to ask the staff for a bowl of cool water to clean him. You can imagine the pain of a red raw bum/scrotum, and being wiped with baby wipes. He was screaming saying "mummy put some cream on" He was crying, I was crying!! Got him home, 'naked from the waist down, as he was too sore to re-dress'. I told the nursery to cancel the contract with immediate effect and my son will not be going back. It is such a shame because most of the staff are lovely, but just proves they have too many children in this 'care setting', to provide adequate care to the children.

Our boy has been attending Almond House for just over six months now, and he absolutely loves it.
The staff are friendly and kind; they give regular updates through the app and are more than happy to chat more in detail about what he’s been up to that day at drop off and pick up. I really feel that
they care about him, which is lovely. We’ve always struggled to get our son to nap, which was a concern for us, but they manage where we fail. He rarely naps at home now but still usually naps at nursery!
The food is top-notch and varied too, which is wonderful, as we try to eat well at home, so it’s nice that he’s getting nutritious, homemade food at nursery too. I was lucky enough to sample some of the food at an open day in the spring and was really impressed.
Since starting at Almond House, our relatives and friends have also noticed that our son is much more sociable too, happier to go to them, and much more confident.

Both my children go to Almond House. My little boy was under two when he started, and he is four this year. They have been fantastic with him and us as parents and very supportive. They've adapted to my son to make his time there comfortable and enjoyable. (My son is SEN) I couldn't have received more
support and guidance, and I continue to do so. My little girl, who has also just turned two, also goes to this nursery now, and we've already noticed a difference in her speech and social interactions. They both love going to the nursery, and the staff are very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks, Almond House.

My eldest son was born in 2020 and started at Almond House in 2021. We chose to send him to nursery because, as a lockdown baby, he had no outside interactions with other children for the first year of his life. In the two years he has been there, he has gained so much confidence and has helped massively
with his social skills. He loves the staff who work there and always comes home a happy little boy!

My little boy is the fantastic, clever and curious child he is because of the staff at Almond House. They offer him the best experience possible, and I couldn't recommend them enough. I love seeing the daily pictures and am jealous of the fabulous food he eats there. He is happy there, and as a Mum,
that makes me feel happy and reassured I made the best choice in sending him to Almond House.

My two daughters love Almond House and all the staff (especially two members of staff) they are so excited to go and have formed amazing friendships.
The chef makes fabulous fresh food daily and even has time to occasionally spoil the parents with yummy cakes too!

My little girl goes to Almond House and absolutely loves it. She is thriving there and has come on leaps and bounds in her development, always able to tell me about her day. Great relationship with the staff and the beautiful food she eats at the nursery.
It’s a big thing to choose a nursery for your
little one to go to, to be in someone else’s care, but I couldn’t have chosen better.
Regular updates on how she is getting on in the room and observations and photos are regularly sent.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.643)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.643) out of 10 for Almond House Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.843 for Almond House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.843
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Almond House Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.9
  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.
