Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the very beginning, the nursery has been just amazing! The whole team are fantastic and have helped my son settle in so nicely. He previously came from a different nursery where he wasn't happy and they didn't cater to his needs properly and the change in him since coming here has been huge. They
are warm and welcoming and make the children feel special and important. The range of activities, games and adventures they have is second to none. I can not recommend them enough and I am so glad we found them when we did.

The staff and facilities at Vantage Park Nursery are incredible, our daughter absolutely loves going to the nursery and loves all of the staff. From day one we have been made to feel incredibly at ease and confident that our daughter will be well cared for and given so many wonderful opportunities while
she is there. We couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had a long time in a nursery that made me feel worried and scared for my child's safety and health. She has now been at vantage day park nursery for 2 weeks and I can honestly say what a difference it has made. I feel happy and confident to leave her in the care of the staff, they are all extremely
good at what they do, her development in such a short time has been amazing, her behaviour and her moods have completely changed and I now love picking her up to see her so happy. Thank you for making me one happy mummy and for your continued care for my child, I would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for an outstanding setting, there is no comparable in my mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Such a great nursery with excellent facilities and staff.
I was dreading leaving my little one to go back to work but after only a couple of settling in sessions, I was completely put at ease. The staff are so friendly and have made us feel very comfortable.
My son attends 3 days a week and has
a great time.
When I pick him up he is all smiles and I love hearing all about his day from the staff.
Very impressed with this nursery.

My daughter attends Vantage Park 3 full days a week and absolutely loves it. She hasn't been to a nursery setting before and so I was anxious to how she and I would cope! But my daughter and I were made to feel very comfortable from the first session and she has enjoyed every day immensely ever since
she started. She waves as I drive up to the building as she knows where she is going! Fantastic place.

A lovely, friendly nursery. All staff are friendly, efficient and helpful, the learning environment is fantastic and my twin boys love their time spent here. The outdoor learning area is great and therefore I highly recommend this nursery.

My son has attended the nursery since Dec 2016 when it first opened and has settled in great. The nursery has amazing facilities, the staff are all really friendly and interactive with the children and parents. My son has so much creative fun he never wants to leave :-). The level of information I receive
is very impressive and something I was not accustomed to with our previous nursery. The nursery is very well presented and clean, also they have their own cook on-site so the food is all freshly prepared. I would highly recommend Vantage Park as an outstanding nursery.

Review from Andrew J (Father of Child) published on 12 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved to the area in November and looked at transferring our son from his previous nursery. We came to look around before the nursery opened and was blown away by the facilities. He had a couple of settling in sessions which went really well, it was like he had been there for ages. The staff are
really friendly and helped both him and us with the settling in period.
The facilities are great, I have never seen such a variety of toys and activities and I like the fact that all of the rooms have similar toys so that everyone gets an opportunity. The outside facilities look great and I am sure our son and the other children will love it when it gets to spring/summer when they can spend more time out there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has recently transferred from another nursery to Vantage Park because it is closer to my work and far more convenient for drop off and pick up.
The staff have made his transition really easy and he really enjoys going to "new nursery".
The facilities are fantastic, he cannot wait until he
is old enough to have a go on the real woodwork bench!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2 year old loves going to this nursery. She has settled in really well and we have never had any issues when leaving her even though she only attends one day a week. I am confident she is safe and well looked after and is also learning whiskey she is here.
It's a lovely setting, with a good selection
of equipment and activities and lots of room for the children to play. The nursery is clearly run very well. It is a clean and safe environment. The staff are always happy, polite and knowledgeable. Communication is excellent with good detail of feedback on collection and a weekly email detailing the activities for the week ahead and giving you ideas of things to do at home with them.
We were so pleased with all the Christmas crafts she had made and brought home for us.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vantage Park Day Nursery to anyone looking for quality childcare.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at this nursery when it first opened in December 2016. It is so spacious and every piece of equipment is so well built and educational. He has so many different activities and resources available to him every day that he never wants to leave. They offer woodwork lessons in the pre-school
room, which is an amazing facility and something I've never seen at any other nursery before. The outdoor areas are fantastic all year round. The experience is very personal and you really get to know the ladies so well. They will listen to any concerns and worries you may have and if you feel you need things catered slightly differently for your child they will ensure they do so. I have been to many nurseries that just didn't feel right, however here you know the ladies love what they do and genuinely have love for children which makes me happy as I know it's a home from home for my son and he will have all the comfort he needs.
Highly recommend this nursery. You won't be disappointed.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Vantage Park Day Nursery 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.972 for Vantage Park Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.972
  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 Vantage Park Day Nursery is based on 15 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
