Review from Chris B (Father of Child) published on 17 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would recommend Darrington's nursery to any parent. My eldest daughter thrived here, my middle daughter loves it, and I will certainly be sending my youngest once she turns 3 years old. The staff are friendly and very supportive of the children. The facilities and activities are extensive. I love
the "stay and play" sessions that parents are invited to attend. The balance of learning and play in this setting is very constructive to the children's development and setting them up for an easier transition into reception. The core nursery hours (8:40 - 3:15) work for my family, which is considerably cheaper than private nursery options, but the extended hours are available as and when we need them. My children really like the breakfast club which starts from 8:10am, and the school also offer special afterschool clubs (e.g. decorating the Christmas tree, and Christmas party).
Reply from Chris Lunn, Headteacher at Darrington CE Primary & Nursery SchoolThank you so much for such a detailed review. We have loved caring for your children and watching them flourish.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.208) out of 10 for Darrington CE Primary & Nursery 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Darrington CE Primary & Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5
  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 3.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Darrington CE Primary & Nursery School is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.208
  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.
