My son has been attending the nursery for the past 2 years, it's a lovely setting, with friendly staff and helpful management staff. We're always welcomed with a smile at pick up and drop off. So far, my son has learned a lot and is always looking forward to going to nursery.

The staff are great with the kids, I have 1 attending, 1 just graduated and 3 before that, the staff have nurtured all the children. They have all reached the target range levels for their ages. Management is never too busy to help with advice e.g. behaviours and toilet training.

Springs Nursery is such a lovely setting. Every time I collect my boys, it’s so calm, and the children are so happy. The activities look like lots of fun, and I can see lots of thought and organisation has gone into them. The staff are very approachable and supportive, and they really listen to you.
My boys really enjoy going to nursery. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anybody. It’s brilliant!

This is a great nursery, and my child has a bond with every staff member. They always go above and beyond to help my child and family. The staff are always so lovely and friendly. The activities they do are so enjoyable for my little boy, and we love getting updates throughout the day on what he's getting
up to.

My daughter has been attending this setting for over two years. She has always been happy to go and has a wonderful time whilst there. She adores the staff and the kindness and compassion they show her. Her learning and development have been impressive too! Thanks, Springs, for being a fabulous setting
for my little girl!

The staff are amazing, and Spring, as a nursery, has become something special. My daughter loves it and has made some brilliant progress, which I am made aware of via the app.
Would recommend.

We just wanted to say thank you for the positive start you have made to our children. They are so settled since joining the nursery and are clearly enjoying themselves. Our son seems happier, more confident, and settled. I have also noticed how this has helped at some of the sessions he attends at the
weekend (football and swimming). We wanted to say thank you!

My daughter started at Spring Nursery Wellsprings in September, as we had previously had a negative experience at a different nursery, I had a lot of anxieties about putting my daughter into nursery again, I explained this to the staff at Wellsprings, and they gave us both a lot of support with the
transition, and settling in period. Since starting at Wellsprings, my daughter has come on heaps and bounds developmentally, she has built fantastic bonds with the staff and is always thrilled to be going to nursery, which as a parent this gives me a lot of reassurance and makes me feel very relaxed to be placing my child in their care. The staff at the nursery are absolutely fantastic and so supportive to not only the children in their care, but the parents of the children too, I truly couldn’t fault them! I definitely give Wellsprings five stars and couldn’t recommend them enough!

The staff are so friendly and helpful. My daughter loves coming to nursery, with all the fun activities that the children get to do. I always feel relaxed dropping my daughter off and know that if she is having an off morning, the staff will cheer her up.

We couldn’t be happier to have our daughter and son at Wellsprings. The staff are all excellent with our kids, they have really bonded with, and genuinely care about them, and the kids adore them. The activities and interactions - and variety of such - really benefit the children and keep them active
and excited. We love that they focus on outside play, making use of local walks, parks, farms; and the access to the school field and wood is a great bonus. The addition of the App has improved further our satisfaction with Wellsprings, it is great to be able to keep up with their day, and have such efficient communication with the staff, as well as seeing daily pictures of their fun and games! We couldn’t recommend Wellsprings any higher, and that is ultimately down to the quality and warmth of the staff. It’ll be a sad day when the kids leave.

Enquired to view for my daughter - the minute I stepped foot in there, I was made to feel like family! Everyone was so lovely and welcoming. All my questions were answered, even offered a drink! Comparing to others this was by far the best for the value of money, the area they have to play and the friendliness
and interaction of the staff. Nothing is too much.
The app they use is brilliant to communicate with them and also see what your child/children are up to. Highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Wellsprings is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.883 for Spring Nursery Wellsprings is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.883

  • b) 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 Spring Nursery Wellsprings 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
