My daughter has been attending Purple Lion Nursery since she was 1 and almost 2 and half years later I cannot fault it. The staff are kind, generous and thoughtful. We recently attended the nursery’s Christmas party; the children performed songs and there were lots of Christmas crafts to take part in
after. Our daughter is wonderfully happy and thriving under their care.

We joined Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) a couple of months ago and I can see how my little one is changing every day. He is getting involved in multiple types of activities which helps him grow, learn and develop in a wonderful way. The weekly updates are a great tool to demonstrate this
and the love and care from the staff is absolutely wonderful. Thank you all for your great work!

We have been with Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) for the last 2 years and have had a consistently positive and wonderful experience with them. The staff are incredibly engaged with the children and my little girl looks forward to her sessions every day.
The activities they provide are
varied and give the children a well-rounded experience.
I also found that their focus on current events ie the coronation was really well done and helped my little one feel involved.
We will miss the nursery very much and would highly recommend it to other parents.

Excellent establishment with caring and friendly staff. My son has been there for 3 years and he loves the school and his teachers! The staff are working with each child and focusing on their development, and learning but most importantly on the child's independence and readiness for the future!

Our son has been at Purple Lion Buckhurst Hill for more than 3 years, and he absolutely loves it! His confidence in many aspects has grown and he has built strong relationships with his teachers who are amazing!
The weekly updates and photos provided through the app are truly useful and allow for an
insight into the kids' experience and activities in the nursery. We will be leaving soon as our son will be in reception from September, and we will all miss the nursery, the staff and their hugs upon collection.
Thank you all for your hard work!

Our daughter has been at Purple Lion Princes Road for around a year, and it has been a wonderful experience for her, her confidence has grown and she is always excited to attend. The weekly updates on the app with photos and feedback have been a great insight into her time spent there. We are moving
away and I know she will really miss her nursery, especially 'kickball' on a Friday which seems to be her favourite activity! She is also very fond of the staff greeting them with big hugs!
Thank you all for your hard work.

We truly appreciated the care we received from the Buckhurst Hill Purple Lions team. From the very first day, they greeted us with warmth and care. We appreciated the updates each day when we picked up our daughter from the baby room and enjoyed seeing photos on the mobile app. The staff were so lovely
with our baby, and we felt comfortable handing her over each day, and excited to pick her up and see her and the art projects she brought home. She developed so much during her time there, and we know it was in part due to the modelling and input from the staff, as well as interaction with the other children there. It really was such a welcoming, warm, and positive experience.

I am extremely happy about my daughter's development and care. I can always check her profile and see her daily routine and I feel very secure that I can call anytime and ask about how she is. I trust the staff that is always friendly and smiley and always looking after my daughter. When I pick her
up she is always happy and I can see she enjoys nursery. I feel secure to go to work and leave my daughter in excellent care.

For my son, Purple Lyon Buckhurst Hill is like a second family, especially one member of staff, in particular, she is like his mom away from mum! They were all so supportive as my son was a bit upset at the beginning in September! They manage to accommodate him so well, he developed a lot of new skills
and has so many friends now.
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough to make it justice!
This was the best choice for my son!

My daughter started nursery in January and she was very shy and not used to being away from me. The settlement took a very long time and I appreciate the love, attention and patience the teachers gave her from the beginning. 3 months in and she loves going to nursery, she made lots of friends and I'm
very happy with her progress so far. My daughter loves that they play outside a lot when the weather allows it, she really enjoys the food and all the activities they have. I'm very pleased with my choice of nursery for her.

There is high competition in the area. My son is very active and vocal, he needs to burn a lot of energy and remain engaged. He has been treated amazingly at Purple Lion! I couldn't be happier with my choice! The ladies who look after him are kind and compassionate and always have a smile on their faces.
The best!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at Purple Lion, Buckhurst Hill now for around 18 months plus.
He has developed so rapidly under the education and care of Purple Lion. The team there are thoroughly dedicated to their children in care. Smaller groups per staff member really does give each child ample attention.
We
have never encountered any issues at all, from top to bottom, with Purple Lions. The team always are on hand to answer queries, whether in person or via email.
The level of review is also exceptional. We are always greeted at the door at the end of the day, with a rundown of our son's day. What he's eaten, when he slept, what he's been focusing on. Even if he had a particularly different day, or was having a 'terrible twos' day, the staff are always still so happy to explain what the scope of the day was and how he overcame any frustration. It's fantastic feedback and always helpful for us to continue his education and care at home.
We would thoroughly recommend Purple Lion to any family! Thank you!

I want to express my sincere gratitude for all the efforts that the teachers have put into helping my son grow over the years. Thank you for all the great activities planned by the teachers and for getting him to engage with his peers as well as helping him to develop the skills required for him to
learn. It has been wonderful to see him so excited in the mornings to go to nursery and come home just as excited to share his day with me. I would like to say a big thank you to all the teachers for providing a safe environment for my son to be around. My son has grown to become so independent, and more willing to try and do things for himself, and everything he does I know he learned from his teacher. I am very appreciative of all the teachers and for their support towards my son.

My son started the nursery at the beginning of the month and has really settled in. The staff are very polite and they take the child’s needs into consideration. They have and continue to give me daily feedback and how he is doing, what he ate, and his overall interaction with the other children.


The

safety and welfare of the children are the top priority of the whole team and staff goes beyond to make sure that children are looked after at all times.


The nursery as a whole is impeccable and has a warm welcoming feeling. The meals prepared are healthy and everything is clean.


Thank you, Purple Lion

My little one started at the setting a few months ago. We could not be happier with the way she settled and how she managed to grow in such a short time. Staff are lovely and very attentive not only to my child needs but also to us as parents. She became more independent, more vocal and less clingy
with us! We always get daily and weekly updates from staff and management team about my child day in nursery through the app, this reassures us that she is safe, happy during the day. I am happy to say that we made the right choice to start with Purple Lion Day Nurseries, I cannot recommend it enough.

My daughter and 17 months old have been going to Purple Lion since the beginning of October. My little girl has excelled in all areas, she absolutely loves going to nursery (she can’t wait for a Monday) talks about her teachers all the time and knows them by name. My little boy has settled in incredibly
well, happily goes to his teacher when being dropped off in the mornings. I especially enjoy the updates that I receive from the nursery on the famly app, showing what they do every day and how they are interacting with the activity. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The nursery teachers and staff are amazing and incredibly caring! I feel at ease knowing that my children are looked after really well when I’m at work. Thank you to each and every one of you!

This is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been attending since she was two years old and her speech and confidence has grown. She has made a lot of friends and has a good relationship with the teachers. They learn something new every day and I love that they play outside in the fresh air every day
which I think is extremely important

An outstanding nursery with caring and dedicated staff! We enrolled our angel, and I was impressed with how enthusiastic, polite, caring and devoted was everyone. My child’s key person was lovely and warm. As first-time parents, we were nervous at first, but the team was very caring and supportive and
kept us posted with pictures and consistent feedback on a daily basis. Thank you, Purple Lion!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.996)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.996) out of 10 for Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.996 for Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.996
  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 Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Buckhurst Hill) is based on 22 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 22 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.
