My twins have been going to Rowlands Avenue Pre-school since January 2022. We are very happy with the school and all the teachers. We have seen a great development in the twins. We are pleased that the boys have picked up a lot of new things.

My son has attended the Rowlands Avenue Pre-School since the Summer of 2022, it has been an amazing experience for him and us both, he has developed into a wonderful child, we are elated with the staff and management at the nursery, they are extremely helpful and pleasant, easy to speak with, non judgmental,
friendly they truly care about us as a family, I know my child is equipped with all the skills for his next journey into primary school. It was the best choice for me.
We will miss them all this coming September 2023. I highly recommend this nursery as a first choice as they are amazing with the children.

The perfect setting for my son post lockdown to socialise with other preschoolers. Friendly staff, peace of mind and a happy boy at the end of the day. Although there is not a plentiful of activities compared to other nurseries, Rowlands Avenue ticks all the necessary boxes.

Rowlands Avenue Pre-School is very good at looking after kids and developing kids' activities. My child developed so much in learning, emotionally, and socially. Food, kids learn to eat certain vegetables and fruit. Very good at deciding on different activities. The staff are very good and they are
always happy to help if there is any concern. My child is looked after by staff very well. I am sincerely happy. Thanks for all your support through my child's pre school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is currently going to Rowlands. Previously my daughter had also gone to Rowlands.
I am really happy with they way the nursery operates, progess of my children.
One of the other parents at my daughter's school had also asked us that which nursery my daughter went to as the parent was very impressed
with my daughter's vocabulary and knowledge for that age.


I will recommend Rowlands if you are looking for a good progression for your child.

The staff are very friendly. They helped with my son's development and he learnt to play and share with others. They have a lot of space to play and have a wide range of toys and games to play with. The garden is also a great space for them to enjoy. My son has enjoyed the nursery and loves the staff.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Rowlands Avenue Pre-school is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has been going there over 2 years. To start with she was very unsettled and they supported us in helping her settle. Now two years on, she is a happy, confident girl who cries when she can't go to nursery at the weekend! The staff are great
and teach the children with fun activities both indoors and in their spacious garden. We like that we help plan learning targets together every term and feel involved in our child's education. We will be sorry when our daughter has to leave to go to big school.

Rowlands Avenue Pre-School is absolutely fantastic! My son has been going there for over a year now. He settled very well and is happily going there every day. The staff are very caring and support my son's development and well-being. They create a lovely, fun and warm environment where my son feels
very comfortable. I love that they play outside every day and learn new things through a variety of activities. Thank you to all the staff for their support!

Rowlands has been great, our son loves attending and always tells us how much he enjoys his days there playing with his friends and engaging with staff. He has been potty trained there with ease, which is a relief. They encourage playing outside as much as possible, which we value, and we find his vocabulary
has expanded. He recently did a charity walk, which he was rewarded for and is super proud and made him feel like a big boy and still talks about the award ceremony, which we love hearing about.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Rowlands Avenue 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.957 for Rowlands Avenue Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 207 Ratings = 4.957
  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 Rowlands Avenue Pre-School is based on 18 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
