Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at The Winchmore Hill Preschool for nearly 2 years, and our son is due to start there soon too. We have been delighted with it since the first day - our daughter has formed strong bonds with the wonderful staff throughout her journey, from the baby room to the toddler room and now
to the preschool itself. She loves going to nursery and often talks affectionately about her friends and the staff. The preschool has also really helped her development - she's outgoing, confident, and always wanting to learn - we attribute much of that to the environment at WH Preschool. We are excited for our son to begin his own journey there soon.

We couldn't be happier with Winchmore Hill Preschool. Our child joined last summer and since then he's really grown - he's always having so much fun and has learned so much. The preschool are really good at identifying what the kids love, and then helping them to explore and express that passion. The
facilities are fantastic, the activities are brilliant. The staff are also amazing, in particular they have been supporting us work through some, at times, challenging behavioural issues with our son.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at The Winchmore Hill Preschool for 9 months now. The settling in period was really good despite the circumstances with Covid. The Principal, Vice-Principal and staff in the baby room made every effort to make the process easy for us with our first child starting nursery and he settled
in very quickly. His key workers have all been incredible, both in the baby and toddler room he is now in. The communication is good, using an online portal to upload reports, photos of activities and a care diary outlining meals, sleep etc. The facilities and activities are all excellent and he has developed a lot over the last 9 months in terms of language and independence. The food is also healthy and varied. The fees are expensive but this is the case at all nurseries so not specific to this nursery. The last year or so has been difficult for new parents and I'm so happy to say The Winchmore Hill Preschool have played a huge part in making our son's care very easy and happy.

Our ten month old started at the nursery in June and we couldn't be happier. The staff are all excellent and helped her settle in quickly. They have plenty of activities to keep her engaged and she particularly loves the sensory room. It has given us peace of mind to know our baby is in such wonderful,
experienced hands.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since March and she absolutely loves it. All the staff have been so welcoming and kind to her. The staff genuinely care about the children, which is not something you come across every day. Can't fault the nursery in any way.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 10 months old. She is turning 2 years next month. We absolutely love the nursery. The staff are wonderful and our daughter loves them all. Her speech, behaviour and social skills are amazing and we credit that to the nursery. I would recommend
this nursery to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for The Winchmore Hill Day Nursery 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 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 4.912 for The Winchmore Hill Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.912
  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 4.804 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Winchmore Hill Day Nursery is based on 18 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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.804
  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.
