Such a fantastic nursery! The teaching staff at St Mary’s nursery are so nurturing and genuinely care so much for the children. My daughter skips into nursery every day, so excited for the new adventures and experiences the nursery has to offer. And she leaves with a smile on her face, excited to show
me her latest creations. We couldn’t be happier with the nursery.

St Mary's nursery is a fantastic place with diverse learning opportunities and a very nurturing environment. The staff are warm, super caring and generally lovely. Being connected to the main school also provides access to a wide range of learning topics as well as a seamless transition to kindergarten
when the time comes. Highly recommended.

St Mary’s is a fantastic nursery. The children thrive there, and the staff are extremely lovely and kind. They engage the children in lots of varied activities both indoors and outdoors. Their communication is superb, and their reassurance throughout the last year has been faultless. I cannot recommend
it highly enough.

Our daughter has attended St Mary's School since September 2020, and it was the best decision we made placing her here. She absolutely loves going to nursery and adores the staff who are so caring, nurturing and clearly passionate about early years child development. She has thrived under their care
and gets so excited to go in on her nursery days! She is always full of chat about all the activities they have done during the day and how much fun she has had playing with her friends and teachers. The management and staff here are just exceptional in what they provide for her and how they care for her. She is very happy here, and we would not hesitate to very highly recommend this wonderful nursery.

I can not rate St Mary’s nursery highly enough. The level of care and commitment of all the staff has been exceptional. We have been overwhelmed by how well our son (just turned 3) has settled in and how well the transition from “lockdown” to starting a new nursery has been. This is a testament to the
staff who are caring and provide a wonderful environment to nurture play and learning.

As a parent, there is nothing better than knowing your child is safe and in good hands. The staff at St Mary’s Nursery ensures us that we never have to worry about our child’s happiness and safety. He is dropped off and picked up with a smile on his face. The nursery staff show a genuine enthusiasm
for their roles, and the impact that they have made on our son’s life thus far is just wonderful. He is developing so well and we really do credit much of that to the great care and attention that receives at St Mary’s Nursery. He gets such a good range of activities and stimulation at the nursery such as playing sports, learning French, lots of sensory activities, reading, indoor and outside play. The teachers and the centre’s administrator are very caring and flexible to us as parents as well. They are genuinely a wonderful and caring group of people, and the administrators always have a smile as they greet us every day. We feel fortunate to have a nursery like this for our son.

St Mary's Nursery is a wonderful nursery which provides excellent care and learning opportunities. The nursery's environment and direction enable children to be happy, grow in confidence and be ready for the next stage of schooling. Alongside the caring and diligent nursery staff, the children also
get access to specialist teachers for some subjects such as PE, Music and French and an outdoor classroom. The nursery is clean and conducive to learning through play. Additionally with the nursery being connected to the school, the children are gently integrated to the main school which helps for a seamless transition to the reception year. I have been very happy with the nursery. My children go in smiling and come home smiling and energised.

St Mary’s Nursery is a very calm and nurturing environment.
My son has been attending nursery full time now for six months and he just loves it. It’s home from home for him and he is very relaxed and happy and has made lots of friends.
The teachers are excellent, very caring and passionate. They are
always going on outings, getting lots of fresh air and exploring the local area.
My not-so-little boy will start school in September and he is very ready thanks to this wonderful nursery and the care and encouragement he has received.

Our daughter started at St Mary's after Easter 2018. When she joined she spoke around 20 words. Within two weeks this went up to hundreds! She's so happy and confident at nursery. The staff are wonderful, caring and fun. The activities exceed our expectations. The new classroom and outdoors is the cherry
on the top! I highly recommend St Mary's Nursery.

Both of my children have been in different daycare settings prior to joining St Mary's, but neither can match the standard of education, care and learning that St Mary's has to offer.


All of the staff is friendly and approachable. There is a real sense of community and family for both children and

parents.


My eldest child is extremely happy at St Mary's Nursery, my youngest is about to start attending this term with great enthusiasm.


As a family, we couldn’t be happier.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for St Mary's 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 St Mary's School is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Mary's School is based on 14 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 14 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.
