Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery full-time since he turned one, and is now in the pre-school room. He has a wonderful relationship with all the staff in the setting, and it's a pleasure to pick him up each day and see how happy he is.
It's great that the nursery schedule in the peripatetic classes to
broaden the children's experiences. You can see how engaged the children are and how much they enjoy participating.

My son has been at Magnolia Tree since he was six months old. He is starting school this September as a happy and confident four year old, well prepared for this next stage in his life. We have always been really happy, at every stage the staff have been wonderful and we have always felt that our son
was well cared for. The garden is fantastic, they spend lots of time outside, doing a range of activities every day which he has always loved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Magnolia Tree since he was 1 and we couldn't rate it more. The building has a spacious layout with a good ratio of children so it never feels crowded. The area is clean with a wonderful selection of toys and books. The newly refurbished garden is such a beautiful space, and
I feel so lucky that he has such a large outdoor space to play in. The staff are all brilliant, so friendly and attentive, he has made some real connections with them over the years. The menu is great, I know he eats so well whilst he's there. My daughter is about to start there and I am looking forward to her receiving the same experience as he has, and couldn't recommend this nursery more.

Our child has been settled and happy at Magnolia Tree since they started. The staff are friendly and professional and I feel that my child is totally safe in their care. They have lots of little friends to play with and they all seem happy when we come and collect them. My child has progressed with
their learning and their social skills and Magnolia Tree have been a large part of that. The nursery is well managed and easy to communicate with when needed. Overall we're really happy :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff in the ladybird room (and extended) are always attentive and care for my child. I am always filled in about their day and any highs and lows that happened. It's really great to see how much my child has learned since they started and how they use their new knowledge when they are at home
too! One member of staff in particular goes above my expectations and is excellent at communicating with me. I am really glad that we chose Magnolia Tree for our nursery and I believe this is truly reflected in our child's character and development.

Lovely staff who you can tell truly care for and want the best for the children, taking joy from watching them grow and progress. Lots of outdoor time, healthy food, creative activities and friendly faces. The only thing that would make it better, like all nurseries would be more staff per child but
this is not always financially possible and I think they do so incredibly well with the numbers they have.

My son has been attending Magnolia Tree Day nursery for almost 3 years. We absolutely love it here and our one year old daughter has just started as well. They go above and beyond to make sure that our children are well taken care of and happy. We love that they offer a pescatarian menu so they never
feel left out. They also have so many wonderful activities and entertainment that keeps their days exciting and different. We also love the big beautiful garden. We love being part of the community that Magnolia Tree Day nursery offers.

I've been really happy with the support my daughter has been getting from the Bumblebees team with her potty training and the communication I've had with them on how best to help her. She has made great progress thanks to them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We're incredibly happy with this nursery. Our daughter settled in quickly and absolutely loves going every day. The staff are so attentive and caring-she talks about her teachers all the time at home.
As a parent of a child with allergies, I really appreciate how accommodating and proactive the staff
are with her dietary needs. It gives us great peace of mind. The nursery has a fantastic outdoor space, and we love that the children spend so much time outside in the big garden. The extra classes are a lovely bonus, and the option for ad hoc sessions has been really convenient for us as a family.
We couldn't be more pleased and are so grateful to have found such a nurturing and engaging environment for our daughter.

Our daughter has been at this nursery for two years and her confidence has grown so much over than time. She was so shy when she first went, and now she has all the confidence in the world.
Initially we were concerned about the menu provided (weather our daughter would like it), but she always finishes
her plate and goes for seconds as well. It's so pleasing that the food is healthy and full of vegetables. And the fruit snacks are great.
Our daughter loves going to nursery, she has made so many friends with children and adults alike.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Magnolia Tree Day Nursery 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.798 for Magnolia Tree Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.798
  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 Magnolia Tree Day Nursery is based on 10 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 41 number of registered child places is 8.2, which has been reached with 10 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.
