Review from Maria E (Mother of Child) published on 23 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is absolutely the best.
My son loves it so much. Staff look after him so well and take extra care as he is asthmatic, and they are always in touch with us about our son's condition.
They do lots of activities that involve both the child and the parents. My son comes home really happy
after nursery.
Will 100% recommend it to any parents looking for a good and lovely nursery!
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you so much, Maria! Your review means so much to us; we thank you for your ongoing support!
Kind regards.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A really lovely nursery that provides excellent care at a competitive price. The rooms are airy and spacious, with lovely toys and books. The children are able to take part in lots of activities throughout the day, and they have a great outdoor space too.
The staff and manager are caring and helpful,
and they go out of their way to make sure that our son is safe and happy each day. We 100% recommend this nursery.

We couldn't be happier with Speckles Day Nursery. Our son attends 4-days a week and is really happy there. The staff are really friendly and helpful. My son's development has improved leaps and bounds since joining.

My daughter started the nursery last year, and she absolutely loves it there. Ever since she started, she’s been talking more and learnt a lot of new words. The staff members and management are great too. Their menu is excellent.
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you so much, Dorcas. We love having your daughter with us, she is an absolute pleasure, and we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review!

Review from Jade M (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started this nursery near the beginning of the year! I’ve had no issues whatsoever! The staff are amazing and so polite, and my daughter gets so excited when being passed over at the door to the staff! The manager has always kept me updated with any changes being made! I would say this is
the best nursery in the area that I’ve come across.
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you so much, Jade. We really appreciate you taking the time to write us a fantastic review. We love looking after your little one, she is really progressing well and is a joy to have in the nursery!

Review from Charlotte M (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at the nursery in September 2020 when he was 2-years-old.
I have always been happy with the nursery setting, and my son loves going (even wants to go on the weekend). I would definitely recommend Speckles Day Nursery if you are looking for a nursery where you will feel at ease to leave
your child/children, as the management team and all staff members are amazing!
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you so much, Charlotte; you and both your boys are very special to us here at Speckles. You were one of our first parents and have always been supportive of us!

Review from Urooj A (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We absolutely love Speckles Day Nursery! Our now two year old has been going to the nursery for over a year, and we are absolutely delighted with the staff and facilities at the nursery. Our son adores the staff members, he eats a variety of good, nutritious food, his individual needs are catered to,
and we couldn’t be happier! Being a Covid baby, we thought our son would struggle socialising with others around him, but we have found it to be the opposite! Speckles have helped him develop resilience, social skills and boosted his confidence where he interacts very positively with others around him! Affordable pricing, great staff, flexible and excellent communication with parents - couldn’t recommend more!
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you so much, Urooj, we are so pleased to receive such positive feedback from you, and we have really enjoyed watching your little one develop and progress, he is an absolute pleasure to care for!

Review from Samantha A (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my child started at Speckles Day Nursery 7-months ago, she has made such amazing progress. Our daughter was born during the pandemic and didn’t have much social interaction, but since she has been at nursery, she has made so many new friends and is speaking lots. She has plenty of opportunities
to develop her skills to meet her milestones. Every day she has tried different activities. She absolutely loves going to the nursery every day as she goes in without fuss. On her settling in day, she settled in so well. The staff are amazing and caring towards the children and encouraging. As a parent, we are always informed about our child’s day and progress. I am so proud and pleased that my child attends Speckles day nursery.
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you so much, Samantha! Your review is so important to us, and we really appreciate your kind comments!

Review from Renelle G (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined Speckles Day when it first opened, she was 3-years-old at the time. She had been with a different nursery previously, and I very reluctantly had to move her when moving area. I viewed a few and picked Speckles Day as I liked the private entrance, the modern decor and the manager was
very friendly and easy to talk to. My daughter has been at this nursery for over a year now, and her little 8-month-old brother has just joined the baby room too, that is how pleased I have been with their service; they have both of my precious tots. They are quick and efficient with the admin side of things, lovely and welcoming in person, provide full details of your children’s day at pick up and have genuine close bonds with all the children. I have taken the liberty to write this review as they are an 18-month-old family-run establishment and deserve recognition.
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you so much, Renelle! I am so pleased to read your review; it is very much a pleasure to read, both of your children are a delight to have in our setting.

My daughter is attending this nursery, and I am proud to say I have seen a great improvement in her academic and social skills. The teachers are fantastic, and the nursery has good communication between them and the parents. My daughter is always happy going to school, and she loves their meals as well.
Reply from Marina Reilly, Nursery Manager at Speckles Day NurseryThank you very much, Ade, for your wonderful review, it is much appreciated by all the staff here at Speckles Day Nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.805)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.805) out of 10 for Speckles Day Nursery 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 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 4.855 for Speckles Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.855
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Speckles Day Nursery 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 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 = 3.95
    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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, 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.
