Review from Aya J (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our daughter's nursery experience. From the beginning, the staff have been welcoming and genuinely caring. They take the time to get to know each child, and it shows in the way our daughter has settled in so quickly.


The communication with parents is excellent, we're

always kept up to date with her progress, daily activities, and little milestones through the app. gives us so much peace of mind knowing she's in a safe and nurturing environment where she is encouraged to learn, play, and grow.


Our daughter has developed so much confidence since starting here, and it's clear that the team put a lot of effort into creating engaging activities that support her development. Most importantly, she absolutely loves going in every morning, which speaks volumes.


We are so grateful to the amazing staff and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child will be cared for, supported, and truly happy.

we've had a fantastic experience with this nursery. My son is always excited to go and brings home lovely, creative art every week. The staff are incredibly kind and make a wonderful effort to include his bilingual heritage in daily activities. He's learnt so much and is thriving here- I couldn't recommend
it more!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.925) out of 10 for Purple Willows Day Nursery Clapham 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.800 for Purple Willows Day Nursery Clapham is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.8
  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 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Purple Willows Day Nursery Clapham is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.625
  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.
