Review from Onome E (Mother of Child) published on 2 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son comes home with a new song on his lips, a new word they taught them or play. He is very happy being there. Above all, my son was very picky about eating, but now, he eats basically all the food. I am happy to have him there.

My child absolutely loves going to nursery. He was upset about not being with me at first but the team handled him with kindness and sensitivity. All of the staff are experienced, warm, welcoming and dedicated. They know my child almost as well as his family. He has learned all of his sounds and is
well-prepared for the transition to reception. They put on an amazing nativity which my son loved being part of.
When he leaves in July we’ll all be devastated! Would 100% recommend it.

The experience that I have had with this nursery has been very good. My daughter loves going to nursery, she gets on well with the other children and the staff. I have no complaints and I find them to be flexible and accommodating I also enjoy the interaction between the staff and as well as the acknowledgement
of the involvement of the parents.

Thank you guys for your help with my child. He loves going to nursery, and he has improved a lot - thank u again. My child talks about his key worker even if he's doing something wrong, and say, "I will tell her", he will stop and say sorry mum.

We're very happy our son is attending Learning Cottage, it has been a couple of months only but his improvement has been brilliant, he started to follow instructions at home too. He is very excited every morning.

The Learning Cottage offers children a great early years learning experience. With rooms for various age ranges. Highly skilled staff keep parents up to date with the daily progress of their child. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All the staff are amazing and care deeply about the kids and their
enjoyment and learning.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Learning Cottage in January this year. From day 1 he loved it there and settled in very quickly. He told me on day 3 I love my new school. The staff here are very honest and teach the children very good manners. They give honest reviews to the parents about the child's development.
Location is great as near shopping and train station. Highly recommend. It's a very clean nursery.

My daughter goes to the nursery "The Learning Cottage", it was not easy at the beginning but with the support and help of the staff and especially the key worker we have achieved excellent results. My daughter is happy to go to the nursery and she likes everything there. She learned so many new things
and made new friends, I am happy with them. I recommend to everyone this nursery.

Beautiful new nursery in a great location. Children have space to play indoors and outdoors. The staff is amazing and they give to my daughter the best possible start and me peace of mind that she is safe and loved. I can't thank you all enough for the hard work put into my daughter's development.

The staff at The Learning Cottage are great and always cared for my daughter. We've been with them since October 2020 and cannot find them a fault. They show dedication and my daughter is so happy to be there. They create a lovely, fun and warm environment for the children and they are true "kids lovers",
which in my opinion is one of the most important characteristics for people working in a school setting.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.102)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.102) out of 10 for The Learning Cottage Nursery 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 3.1 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 The Learning Cottage Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 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 3.102 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Learning Cottage Nursery 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 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 = 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.102
  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.
