Review from Rezba C (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending the nursery since January 2023. The facilities are very clean and all areas are well purposed. The school is very safe with added cameras and keypads on all main doors upon entering and exiting the nursery.
My son has additional needs and the SEND team have been so supportive
and patient in making my child feel included in all activities as well as carrying out direct activities to help with his individual needs.
Staff are very caring and friendly. It is like dropping my child off to extended family. Thank you Fledglings.

Very good nursery, friendly staff.
The only complaint I have is for the app. My child’s activity is not updated when they should be. For example, I can’t see any information about her toilet visits. The meal information is often updated late.

I am so pleased we chose Fledgelings South Hornchurch for our daughter to join. The team have been fantastic since day one with settling her in, understanding and getting to know her, as well as encouraging her to be confident at nursery. The team are always so warm and welcoming, and my daughter is
always excited for her days at nursery which speaks volumes!
The app is fantastic for keeping me updated on what she's been eating, her naps and toileting, and we absolutely love the occasional observations we get with pictures showing us what she has been doing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl was a really shy 3-year-old when she started and with the correct support and encouragement, she is now a really confident 4-year-old. She loves coming to the nursery and seeing her friends and teachers as she knows she will have a fun day learning without realising she is actually learning!
She eats so well when she is there and tries new foods that we wouldn't cook at home!

All the staff are very welcoming and polite. My daughter is in the baby room and joined in August. They’ve worked really hard to help with the transition and they update my wife and me frequently, which we both like.
Certain staff members do a great job with our daughter (but all other staff have been

Cannot rate this nursery high enough. They have great resources and keep my little one occupied all day, which is no easy job! The staff are brilliant, always keeping us updated with both the app and end-of-day reports. Great safety measures in place and a very nurturing nursery. I can see the development
and progress that my little one has already made in the short time from starting in September. I am very grateful for the care and attention they provide and makes the entire process of going back to work a lot easier.

Best nursery in Rainham! Polite and professional staff with correct measures in place to keep children safe. Loving approach towards children with plenty of well-thought-out activities and toys. More like a family rather than a school setting.

The staff has been incredibly welcoming, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. They have a remarkable way of connecting with the kids and building strong bonds with them, which is evident in how much my son loves being there.
I am impressed with how informative and friendly the
staff is, always keeping me updated on my son's progress and activities. Under their care, he has made significant progress in every aspect of his development, and I am grateful for the attention they've given him. It's bittersweet knowing that he'll soon be leaving. However, I can't help but feel reassured that they have prepared him exceptionally well for the next step in his transition to primary school. Thank you to the wonderful team at the nursery for making my son's time here truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking a loving and enriching environment for their child's early education!

Amazing nursery! Constantly clean and well maintained. Staff are knowledgeable in early years and childcare. My son loved attending nursery and enjoyed it each and every day. Staff feedback was always clear and concise. Staff work hard and children are well looked after. If you are after halal food
then this setting offers that. I would highly recommend a visit to this nursery.

We joined The Fledgelings Day Nursery last year.
Our daughter has come a long way with her learning and behaviour. The staff are always happy and friendly and let parents know of all the exciting things going on, plus all the important development of my child. She will be sad to leave, but my youngest
son will be joining them.

Amazing nursery, have so much to give to the children. Wonderful setting, continue to bring new things in for the children to learn and our son’s development has gone so far with their help. They’re always introducing new learning like sign language. There’s also a wide range of different food and flavours

My son absolutely loves this nursery! He has recently been diagnosed as Type 1 Diabetic and has been absent for almost a month due to this. He had his first day back today and he settled in so well, all thanks to the nursery staff! The manager, his key worker and the chef could not be anymore accommodating
in meeting my childs every need possible - and there is alot with Diabetes! All areas of each room meet the Early Years Foundation Stage required areas. Very friendly and supporttive staff that take each childs individual needs into account. The nursery is very clean. The staff take safeguarding extremely seriously and have copies of this based around the nursery to keep staff and parents up to date and safe.
So pleased my son is here!

We as parents are really pleased with the nursery. Our son has settled in well and is happy here. We like that the staff are caring, knowledgeable and friendly and each member in the room can tell me about his day including the manager. The handover in the morning and the end of the day is great and
it is nice that parents are welcome inside the room to speak to staff. The outdoor area is developing but has lots for the children to do. Our son loves being outdoors so it would be great to see some more things outside. We love the app as we get to see great observations and are kept up to date with events at the nursery. It would also be great to see more activities such as library or park visits or workshops for children on rotation of days so all children are able to experience this. Overall the nursery is great and we would recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.736)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.736) out of 10 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (South Hornchurch) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 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 4.736 for Fledgelings Day Nursery (South Hornchurch) is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.736
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fledgelings Day Nursery (South Hornchurch) 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 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14, 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.

Charlotte Seymour

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022

My name is Charlotte, and I am delighted to serve as the Nursery Manager. With nearly a decade of experience in early childhood education, I am passionate about creating a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your children to thrive. When finishing school, I went straight into studying for my childcare qualifications before stepping into my first nursery role in 2016. While being in nursery environments, I quickly discovered my passion for working with young children. From 2016, I have held different roles within the early years field, from practitioner to room leader and into senior roles in both EYFS and Montessori-run environments. I believe in a strong level of parent partnership and have seen the impact on children’s development from this.
