Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended St Mark's since September 2020, before joining she didn't speak as much but kind of mumbled and made noises, she has really come on with her talking, it's been beautiful to watch, she gets so excited to go to the nursery she will jump most of the way there. The staff have been
so amazing with her since she started; in which I may add some testing times. As a parent, I couldn't ask for anyone better to look after my little girl, always welcomed with a smile at the start of the day and a laugh at the end. They are a great team, which makes for a fantastic nursery.

I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my daughter to attend. She loves going to St Mark's nursery. The ladies who work there are so friendly, helpful and welcoming. I and my daughter enjoy logging on to the app, where she explains what she has been up to that week. Someone recommended St Mark's
nursery to me, and I'm very thankful they did. I will also be recommending St Mark's. Super job ladies. All the best for the year to come.

The nursery teachers are so lovely and are on hand if I need any help or advice. They work with me and are fabulous with my son. He has come on so much and loves preschool. He loves the teachers and all of his friends. I have five older children, and I have never ever had such a positive experience
with any other nursery. I really can't recommend St Mark's Pre-school enough. Even through this pandemic, they have been amazing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing, love this preschool! The staff go above and beyond to make the parents feel comfortable and at ease as much as they do my child. The staff take a little time face to face before and after school to talk about my child's development, what he has enjoyed that day, and whether there have been
struggles. Strategies are recommended too if needed. This also goes hand in hand with the school's app where development is also shared and discussed.
The facilities available to my child are great too. I like the fact there are many activities and the setup. My child asks all the time when he is next in school. Great school and I'll be hoping my next child gets a place.

My daughter has attended St Mark's Pre-School since September 2020. She has come on so much already in such a short space of time. All the staff are wonderful; they are always very supportive. My daughter absolutely loves her time in the nursery. The time and effort they put in are remarkable. I couldn't
ask for anything more.

My little boy started in September, after having a rocky start in a private nursery. He has settled in so well and had grown so much in the past few months. I can't wait for him to go full-time when he's three.

My son started at the beginning of January, and I can't thank every member of staff enough. I only wish I'd moved him here earlier. Everyone is amazing. The communication is unbelievable. My son skips in every morning and is sad when his day at nursery is over.

My daughter loves attending St Marks Pre School - so much so, she complains at a weekend that she isn't attending. She has made leaps and bounds in her progress since starting, and the wonderful team have kept us up to date with her progress throughout! Her confidence has grown, and she has made some
lovely friendships. I believe that she will be more than school-ready when September arrives.

I couldn't recommend St Mark's Pre-School enough. They've been amazing with my child. He's been needing extra support and referrals, and they've been great throughout. My child has so much fun every day he's there and has learnt so much since starting preschool.

An amazing nursery that puts their pupils above everything else. My niece absolutely loves going to school, so much so, she asks to go during weekends and holidays! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the school and staff have tried to keep things as normal as possible for the children and their infection
control has been sublime. I would wholeheartedly recommend St Mark's to anyone.

My daughter has attended St Mark's since April 2019, she's developed so much since being here. Her speech, listening skills, social skills have all developed massively. Staff are all amazing, all polite. If you have a problem they'll help the best they can. I'll be sending my youngest daughter here.

I cannot express how amazing St Mark's preschool is, our daughter as thrived from the day she started, the managers and staff are all so lovely and we could not have wished for nicer people to look after our daughter, she has learnt so much and just loves preschool, they know her personality so well
and go above and beyond. Definitely outstanding and definitely recommend. We are going to miss them all but grateful for the fun times she has had and thanks to their help and guidance she is ready for her new journey at big school.

Absolutely amazing nursery, my child loves going, the girls are all friendly and build a great relationship with the children! There are always fun activities to do and my child always has lots of stories to tell about his day! Going to be sad to see him leave them and join big school in September!
He’s only been attending for a short period of time and he’s learned so much!

Our little girl started attending St Mark's Pre-school among the first children before the preschool opened and she loves it there. Great teachers who are always coming up with new ones and useful things and games for children. They have an amazing approach to children without distinction, and therefore
this preschool is the best in the area! We recommend 100%!

My little girl started here in January for one day a week and she loves it! The girls are so friendly and helpful and always keep me up to date with how she is getting on. So happy this is where we chose, she enjoys every minute and can’t wait to go again the week after. Would definitely recommend to
any parents out there.

Our grandchild has attended St Mark's since the start. We couldn't recommend St Mark's highly enough. All the staff are extremely caring and patient, know in depth every child's personality and needs. All the activities are varied, extremely fun, all geared to the child's development. Our grandchild
absolutely loves attending this pre-school and I'm sure she would go at weekends if she could.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for St Mark's Pre-school 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.984 for St Mark's Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (444 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 451 Ratings = 4.984
  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 Mark's Pre-school is based on 38 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 38 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.
