My son has been attending Beal Vale nursery since last September, his development has exceeded and so have his social skills. He has built a loving and trusting relationship with the services care providers who are attentive to his needs. The communication between staff and parents is second to none.
Can not fault the service and staff here.

My son couldn’t be happier in this nursery. High safety measures, nice premises. The staff is very well trained, knowledgeable and know and love what they do. My son still has another year in Beal Vale Pre-School before starting school and we’re looking forward to it.

My son attended the setting a few years ago and when my little girl turned two I knew that Beal Vale nursery was the only place I wanted her to go.
The staff are lovely and brilliant with the children. My little girl has settled in really well even though we have tears before she enters the setting
the staff are quick to send me updates via the app on how she has settled and what activities she has been doing throughout the day.

Review from Lee B (Father of Child) published on 18 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We brought our child to Beal Vale nursery from another nursery part way through last year.
She was literally crying and being not to go in and we wouldn't force her.
Beal Vale took her in and within a couple of taster sessions, we knew she was happy. No fights, no crying, just a happy bye-bye... If
she remembered.
This year is something else, our child actively wants to go to nursery and comes out beaming at home time. She loves Beal Vale.
My wife and I love to see the pictures of our child on the Famly app and this sort of attention shows just how caring Beal Vale is towards both parents and the children in their care.
The team are all amazing and very forthcoming with information and don't hide anything from you. They're always happy for a brief chat even though they're incredibly busy.
All in all, our child loves this nursery and loves her carers there, she's loving making friends there.

My son has attended the nursery now for nearly 2 years he has enjoyed every single day and always leaves with a smile on his face. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond, I know from the moment I leave him at nursery he is safe and cared for, having the app is brilliant to see what he has been
up to during the week and how he has progressed over his time in the nursery he has gained confidence and grown into a caring, happy little boy who is well prepared to take his next steps into school.

Excellent nursery! The staff are so friendly and attentive, they have really helped my little boy to settle in so much that he runs in every day. He loves the activities and going outside in the large secure play area. It makes it so much easier knowing that he is taken care of so well and I wouldn't
send him anywhere else.

Such an amazing place, indoor and outdoor facilities are wonderful and the staff are just the best! It's such a fantastic feeling when you drop your child off and know they are going to have another brilliant day. I love hearing all about the activities they get up to and seeing all the updates and

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Beal Vale 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.955 for Beal Vale Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.955
  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 Beal Vale Pre-School is based on 19 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
