Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Spring Leiston since it opened and she is now in her final year. The staff are lovley and are always very attentive to my daughter's needs. The communication is great and the updates we get through the Famly app are lovely, which also include progress reports. I recently
attended the Mothers Day Cream Tea and it was wonderful to be involved. They often put on stay-and-play seasons too. They offer a great menu and snacks also, with their cook even providing learning opportunities by baking with the children as well. I am really happy with my daughter's progress and all of the engaging activities and resources they provide. I would highly recommend Spring to other families!

The staff at the nursery are incredible. Brie didnt have the best start and would cry at each drop off which was hard on her and me! The staff were so patient and persevered with her and she now reaches out for Amy at drop off. The team have been amazing with my recent surgery and allowed Brie to attend
for another day to help me and my husband. It was a relief to know we didnt need to worry about her and she was safe with people she loves being around.
As a first time mum it's lovely to know your child is well looked after each day and genuinely enjoys going. Thanks girls, you're all amazing x

All staff are friendly and welcoming, my little boy has been here since September 2025. The staff make us feel like an extended family, where he is looked after and the care he receives reflects what we do at home. For example nap times, bottle, what he has for meals and snacks.

All staff at spring nursery Leiston are so lovely and friendly! Since my daughter has joined in August her speech and confidence has improved so much, she loves messy play and loves when the staff members read with her, couldn't recommend a better nursery :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Friendly, small classes, one to one activities. Can not fault them. Our son started here in May 2025, he has underline health conditions and from the off they have been consistent ensuring our child's needs are met. The staff and myself also noticed some SEN behaviors which are in the process of getting
the correct help for our son. Always greeted with a smile at the door. Our son has really come on leaps and bounds since staring nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started when they first opened, she made so many friends and told me how much she enjoyed it. She always came back with so many painting and colourings and told me how much she loves the staff. My son now attends the nursery and even though him only being 10 months old, they have made me
feel so comfortable with him being there away from me. I get updates with the app which has told me what he's eaten and how much, when he had his nappy changed, when he slept and for how long. I am grateful for the staff there I know the children are very looked after.

We cannot fault Spring Leiston. The staff are brilliant. The app keeps you up to date with what they are doing and what they have eaten. The in-house cook gives them many different food options. Since my daughter has been going her speech has come on twofold and she is always wanting to go in even on
the days she is off. I can't fault this nursery. Brilliant setting and staff is always on hand to answer any questions. Opening and closing times are by far the best I have seen and accommodate parents' needs to fit around work. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) out of 10 for Spring Leiston 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.983 for Spring Leiston is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.983
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spring Leiston is based on 10 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 = 3.75
    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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
