Review from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I honestly couldn't ask for better staff at the nursery. When my daughter started she was very shy but now she is comfortable with all the staff in her room. They make sure she's happy and settled every day. When we were out of routine they picked up on it that she wasn't herself and messaged me.
I
love the fact they do so many activities and let us parents know what they have been doing during the day, also adds photos too! Which I love seeing how happy she is. Couldn't ask for better staff for my daughter to be safe with.

Great staff and a lovely clean and friendly environment. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds and is always excited to be going to nursery every day. Her progress is always documented well and the staff go out of their way to ensure they get the 121 care.

Review from Stephen F (Father of Child) published on 1 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Early Learners was like a breathe of fresh air after moving from another nursery, the support we have received has been amazing, the staff and management have been very supportive and great with our many queries.
When we drop him off/pick him up all the staff we see say good morning/good bye to him
by name which is amazing (I have two kids and often forget their names so I don't know how they manage it with all the kids there).
The only constructive feedback I would give, which is quite unique to our situation, is that on rare occasions when there seems to be a lot of parents picking up we won't get told what he has done during the day. As our little boy is non-verbal he can't tell us and the updates on the app are more aimed at the class as a whole. But, most of the time we do get a good hand over and it's obvious how much the staff care.
4/5 for facilities purely because of the lack of parking at times which is being addressed
4/5 for IT for the app (not the nurseries fault)

Review from H B (Mother of Child) published on 3 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child started Early Learners Sutton in September 2022. He has a medical condition that requires meds several times a day which the staff have taken on board and complied with. Some members of staff have made me comfortable enough to talk to extremely openly. Establishing good relationships has helped
communication to discuss any concerns comfortably. The Manager and her team have all been key in ensuring that my child enjoys their session. My only constructive feedback would be that I would have hoped there to have been more focus on writing prior to starting school. I can only observe that as many children are at different levels in the same class this can be quite challenging.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Early Learners Nursery Sutton 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.864 for Early Learners Nursery Sutton is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.864
  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 Early Learners Nursery Sutton is based on 24 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
