Review from Amy S (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ladywell pre-school is simply the BEST nursery! I've had 3 children and used many childcare solutions, however, I absolutely love this place.
The staff are fantastic, warm and caring with an excellent balance on fostering good behaviour.
They are so creative with the activities and really nurture
the children’s imaginations.
I cannot recommend this preschool enough.
It’s a wonderful environment for them.

My child has attended Ladywell Pre-school since September 2019 and loves it. We are so happy with her experience at Ladywell - the staff are incredible, and work so hard to ensure that the children are stimulated, having fun, and learning all the time. Parents are kept up to date on their child's development
via the Famly app, where photos, updates and progress against key stages are reported. It's a fantastic preschool, with fantastic staff. I cannot recommend it enough!

My son has just started his second year in the Pre School. It is such a warm and nurturing environment. The staff go over and beyond to ensure the children are happy and have access to a wealth of activities that change regularly, encouraging all areas of their development. Communication with parents
is excellent and my son is thriving there.

Thank you for your lovely review. We will continue to provide the same level of care and communication throughout.

I couldn't be happier with Ladywell Pre-school. From her first day, my daughter has loved it there and is already looking forward to returning in September. The indoor and outdoor spaces are large and beautifully decorated. The activities are stimulating and creative, and usually involve wooden toys
or natural objects to encourage the children to engage with their environment. And there are special themed days (such as winter pyjama day!) which my daughter loves. Best of all are the staff, who are all bright, fun and caring. It has surpassed all my expectations.

Thank you for the lovely review, your words mean a lot to the staff and we will continue to provide the level of care.

My son used to be a shy boy, not talking before going to the nursery and meeting the beautiful and great team! Now he is a sociable boy, talking about the team and friends, even when he is not there! The best choice I ever made to choose this nursery! I'll recommend with an open heart!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we all love Ladywell Pre-School. The manager and her team go above and beyond to ensure my daughter is well cared for and has the most amazing time. Her days are filled with fun and lots of creativity. The outdoor space is brilliant and we love the fact that access to the garden is free-flowing.
I'm already dreading the day my daughter leaves as I know both of us will miss our time at Ladywell. I would definitely recommend this Pre-School to anyone.

My son attends this pre-school. The staff are great, the new management are great also with everything they’ve done and doing with the pre-school and children. My son especially loves George the turtle as he loves animals. He’s excited to go to pre-school everyday to do all the creative activities the
staff do with him. The staff have really helped him settle in well.

The new nursery set up is fresh and bright. The new staff team are friendly and welcoming. Being a father I feel very involved and informed of any updates about my child and events. The new hours allow me to drop my daughter off in the mornings and pick her up. My daughter comes home happy every day
and shares her new experiences with me. The staff seem to be very creative and I'm looking forward to the coming year.

The team have been brilliant in settling my son into the nursery. Their professionalism and care has been really reassuring and my son absolutely loves being at nursery. Every day he comes home buzzing about something new he has learnt and is keen to share with any and everyone about what a fun time
he is having there.

Great nursery, an amazing team of staff and awesome management.


The nursery has new management, and they have made some major improvements to the place.
It's cleaner, brighter, seems bigger and so much clearer the zones to the children.
My son loves the turtle too and getting to help feed him,

brings out his caring nature.
Everything is wooden and natural now, even the play food has been handmade and looks more realistic.
The outside herb garden is looking lovely. The forest school is amazing for kids to explore. And the outside built wooden kitchen and magical fairy garden are a child's paradise.
Great nursery.

My grandson has been attending Ladywell Pre-school since September 2018. I visited in the summer term and was very surprised at the natural changes made to the environment. The mud kitchen and the open garden is amazing and as I pick up my grandson daily I can see the happiness when I arrive that he's
had a "great day".
The staff are very friendly and approachable. I look forward to the year ahead with this pre-school.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.339)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.339) out of 10 for Ladywell Pre-school 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 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 4.946 for Ladywell Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 56 Ratings = 4.946
  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 4.393 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ladywell Pre-school is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 28 number of registered child places is 5.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.893
  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.
