Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our children have attended Juniors over a time period of five years now and we have continually been incredibly impressed with the service.
The staff are amazing. They take the time to get to know the children and support them so well as individuals, helping them grow and flourish, challenging them
in a supportive way and always engaging with their interests.
Our children have been and are very comfortable, confident and happy in attending the nursery. We are always so impressed with the range and thoughtful detail of the activities put on for the children, and the food always sounds delicious and our children love eating it!
We are really happy with our experience at the nursery, and are really grateful we found somewhere which has, and continues to, look after our children so brilliantly.

Review from Georgie M (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff who work at the nursery are so lovely and my daughter absolutely loves her key worker and runs into see her in the morning, that tells me everything I need to know! Her development and social skills have come along so well since being there and she is so confident now! She has also become
so much better with her food and trying new things since being at the nursery. I can't thank the staff in the Teenies room enough for being so wonderful!
The management changed last year and I wasn't happy with a few of the changes so I sent a email expressing how I felt to which I never got a reply, very disappointing. I don't think they always have the best interest of the children or staff at heart and don't listen even when I know many people have expressed their concerns on the changes. It's a shame as overall I have always been so happy with the nursery and the care my child has received!

My child has loved coming to Juniors since his very first taster session at 10 months old. He has a great bond with his key person and is always happy to get to nursery in the morning. Communication via the app is always timely and detailed. Thanks Juniors team!

Juniors Boughton Monchelsea is a wonderful nursery. The staff are lovely & attentive- my son is thriving there. He is so happy on both drop off & pickup that I know we've chosen a good one! The nursery is secure with a lovely play area/ garden for the children. The food menu is varied & nutritious.
Great for encouraging new foods. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.466)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.466) out of 10 for Junior's Day Nursery Boughton Monchelsea 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.813 for Junior's Day Nursery Boughton Monchelsea is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.813
  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 3.653 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Junior's Day Nursery Boughton Monchelsea is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.278
  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.
