Review from Cherece S (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter was really unsettled at her old nursery and after 7 months of crying at pick-up, we finally got a place at Gilwell Hill Children's Day Nursery & Pre-School. My daughter settled here after the first week, the nursery is a family like setting and all the children are relaxed. We get a daily
update at pickup and on the app and our daughter is thriving here with her speech and education in general. The staff here are all amazing, understanding and for the children. We couldn’t recommend them more.

Cannot praise the staff and the facilities at this nursery more. It’s like an extended family looking after your child and their bond and relationships with them are so special. My son has learned so much from them and it has really helped with his development more than I and his father could ever do
on our own. He is really happy there and you can see the practitioners are always genuinely so pleased to see each child and interact with them. They get to know their personalities so well and are very child-focused.
We are kept up to date on the app with all meals, sleep times and events plus pictures to show what they are doing every day. So you feel like you are in contact all the time.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough and it is so nice to be able to leave him there while we are at work and not have to worry he won’t be cared for properly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience here! From the moment we walked in, I knew we had found a special place for our little one.
The staff are simply amazing! They are not just childcare providers; they’re genuinely caring and nurturing individuals who go above and beyond to ensure
every child feels loved and supported. Communication with the staff is excellent. We receive regular updates, pictures, and progress reports, keeping us informed about our daughter's day and her developmental milestones. It's evident that the staff takes the time to understand each child individually and tailor their approach accordingly. We feel so fortunate to have found such a fantastic nursery for our daughter. It's more than just a nursery; it's a place where she is thriving. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for their child's early years. Thank you to the team for making our daughter's time at the nursery so special!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started Gilwell Hill Nursery when he was 2.5 years old. All the staff was so accommodating and supportive when he first began. It was such a warm welcome! Since then, we have had the best experience and would recommend to all parents, as their attention to the kids is amazing and so warming and
I'm so happy we chose to send our son here! It was a great setting for him to be introduced to school life. Thank you to all staff, they are just amazing!

Review from Hristina H (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started attending when he had just turned 1 year old, and because I had to go back to work, I didn't have enough time to have him settled properly so he started attending full time just after 2 setting sessions and I can't describe how wonderful, kind and welcoming all staff were.
He has been
attending for a year now and goes there with a smile on his face every day.
I love how cosy the nursery is, the energy is good, the food is great, staff really do care for all children and try to comfort them if they feel anxious.
They teach the children so many things, engage them and they really do learn and develop.
Thank you Gilwell Hill Nursery, you guys are the best!

Review from Purvidha C (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Outstanding nursery, providing brilliant care on virtually a one-to-one basis. My son came on so well having moved to Gilwell Hill. He is positively thriving here and being extended in his learning where the staff see his ability to do so. The staff care so much about the children, there is not a doubt
in my mind that this is the best setting for my child to be educated and cared for within. I would recommend this nursery to anyone reluctant to leave their child, outgoing or anxious children or anyone seeking the best education and care for their child.

This is an outstanding nursery. We have found, after experiencing several, Gilwell Hill Children's Day Nursery & Pre-School to be the best. The staff are excellent, down to earth, lovely and above all extremely capable. Our daughter runs in every morning and as parents, we feel relaxed leaving her there
because we feel so reassured that she is going to be well looked after and have a lot of fun. We are so happy and satisfied that we found the best place for our daughter.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Gilwell Hill Children's Day Nursery & Pre-School - Chingford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.994 for Gilwell Hill Children's Day Nursery & Pre-School - Chingford is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.994
  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 Gilwell Hill Children's Day Nursery & Pre-School - Chingford is based on 13 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
