Well it's been 38 years since I have been in a nursery. But my experience so far has been great' friendly and conscientious staff my child walks through the door. There is no anxiety about going through it so that must be a good sign

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending big top nursery since he was a year old and we cannot fault Joe, Claire and the amazing team. My son thoroughly enjoys attending with all the fun and educational learning and activities. His development has come on leaps and bounds. Like most children he was initially a shy
child but has really developed his confidence and personality. The team have taken the time and care to get to know more about my sons favourite things, shows and music. In addition they take extra time in greeting my daughter (who is at school) on drop off and pick up and taking time to say hello etc.
the team are very easy to talk to and are an extension of the values and behaviours we encourage at home.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to others looking for a nursery.

A fantastic nursery with caring staff.
My son has been attending this nursery for the past year and absolutely loves it. He's formed such strong bonds with the staff and runs in happily every morning, which gives me so much confidence in the care he's receiving.
My older daughter also attended previously
and had a great experience too, which is why we chose to return.
The team are warm, supportive, and genuinely invested in the children. I'm really grateful for the positive environment they create and would happily recommend this nursery to other families.

We're really happy with the care our one-year-old receives at this nursery. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, which made the settling-in process very easy for both our child and us as parents.
The environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging activities that support early development.
It's wonderful to see how happy and comfortable our child is each day. We truly appreciate the regular updates and the dedication of the team. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing place for their little one

My daughter has been going here full time since she was 2 years old. Joe and the team are amazing. My daughter settled in very easily at the nursery. The staff are helpful and kind. They manage to fit in a lot of activities in the day to keep the children engaged. We also get a daily report on what
my daughter has eaten. Fantastic place for the children!

Both my children have attended the nursery and it's been amazing for their development.
My daughter was behind in her speech before she attended and the nursery really helped her get up to speed with her peers.
My daughter was ready for school with the nursery's help and my other daughter that currently
attends is exactly where she needs to be with her development.
Highly recommend.

We're so happy with this nursery. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely attentive to the children's needs. My daughter has grown in confidence and happiness since starting here, and she always comes home excited to tell us about her day. The activities are creative and engaging, and it's clear the

My little boy has been attending Big Top Nursery at Roman Park for over a year now, and the difference in his confidence has been amazing to see. The staff have played such an important role in this by providing such caring, nurturing support every day.
They take the time to really get to know each
child and create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe and happy to learn and explore. It's clear that they genuinely care about the children in their care.
The team are also fantastic at keeping parents informed. They regularly update you on your child's development and activities, which really helps put your mind at ease. As a parent, it's so reassuring to know your child is in such good hands.
I'm so grateful for everything the staff have done for my little boy and would highly recommend Big Top Nursery at Roman Park to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing nursery.

My daughter started at Big Top in September 2025. She is currently in the tiny tops room and the staff were amazing at settling her in, her speech and crazy personality have developed so much since starting and I could not be happier with the care she receives. She is always so happy to go to nursery,
making it easier to leave her there.
Management are also great, we have had to change/add a day and they were very accommodating. We cannot fault big top
Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Big Top Nursery (Roman Park)Thank you so much for your lovely review.
We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled into Tiny Tops since starting in September. It's wonderful to see her personality shining through and her speech developing-she sounds like such a joy!
Your kind words about the team mean a lot, especially knowing they helped make those early days easier for you both. We're also really pleased we could support you with the changes to your sessions-flexibility is so important for families.
Hearing that she's always happy to come in is the best feedback we could ask for.

My daughter started in Sept 2025 at 9 months old. Every single day, from the start, she has been running in with a smile, and coming out smiling. What more to ask for! The staff is incredible. Welcoming, caring and consistent in their approach. They all know the children very well and keep them safe.
I would recommend Big Top Roman Park to anyone. The manager is lovely. He comes back really quickly to any enquiries you might have and is always happy to help. We are very lucky to have this gem of a nursery on our doorstep!

We are very happy with the nursery. The staff, including the two nursery managers, are excellent and they are consistently warm and friendly.
Initially we weren't confident that our son would settle in, but the team handled the transition very professionally. He now absolutely loves it and looks forward
to attending every day. They provide exciting activities for the children and share regular updates with parents, which we truly appreciate.
We have definitely seen a vast improvement in our son's development and I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Big Top Nursery (Roman Park) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.810 for Big Top Nursery (Roman Park) is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.81
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Big Top Nursery (Roman Park) 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 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 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 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.
