The Grove Nursery is a lovely nursery with great friendly helpful staff, my daughter absolutely idolised each and every one of them she was sad to leave to head off to reception. They have a large range of learning techniques and do a lot of learning through play which I love as I believe it’s the best
way for them to learn and my daughter went from strength to strength whilst she was there.

Amazing nursery. Cannot fault. Parent partnership is amazing. Staff very approachable and my son adores them. Always doing messy play, crafts, outside and planned activities. Love how we are informed via the app if my son does not wish to tell me about his day. Feel safe and secure sending my son there.
I couldn’t fault them or think of anything that needs improving. Will forever recommend the setting to others

Even if it is a small nursery they get involved in many activities in part thanks to working closely with The Grove Primary School.

Fantastic nursery!
Two of my children have attended - one non verbal when he started, with lots of one-to-one - by the time he started primary school he was fully verbal.
Staff are supportive with toilet training and encouraging healthy eating habits.
Staff communicate well with parents with updates
regarding their child.
Child-led play which is brilliant, both of my children loved their nursery years.

My son is super happy and excited about going to school every day. To us, this is the most important thing we can say about any childcare/school especially for a 3-year-old.
The communication between parents and staff is also great either personally or through the app.

Thank you for leaving us a review and feedback. Your son embraces all areas of nursery and it's been a joy to see him settle so quickly

My daughter moved to the Grove Nursery from a different nursery due to extra support required. The staff are amazing and are more than willing to work with me to give my daughter the support she requires. My daughter goes into nursery happy and leaves happy! She loves it and so do I.

My daughter moved here from another nursery nearby and the difference is unreal. From looking round I knew I wanted to sign up. The process was easy and my child started as soon as there was a space so I am lucky. The staff are brilliant, they do loads with the kids on and off site and the app used
is informative but useful. I'm so glad I made the move to the Grove and highly reccomend it.

My son thoroughly enjoyed his whole year at this nursery and made lots of friends. I noticed that he was always excited in the mornings when it was his nursery day, especially when it was swimming day.
The nursery has helped him so socialise with other children and has helped him improve his vocabulary.

My daughter has been attending The Grove Nursery since October 2021 and her experience has been amazing. She gained so much confidence in just her first few weeks of starting and she has learned so much! The staff members are excellent and always go above and beyond for the children. I am happy to say
my daughter attends this nursery and I would recommend it to anyone!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Grove Nursery has been a fantastic pre-school for my daughter. She absolutely loves it! The staff are kind, knowledgeable and have a great relationship with the children. The activities prepared for each session are engaging and fun, they have lots of opportunities for external visits and visitors
coming in. The level of care shown to each child and the support they are given to grow and learn and be inspired is outstanding. Parents/carers are kept well informed of their child's progress. I cannot recommend the nursery more highly

I am really glad that my son has attended The Grove Nursery. I can see my son is more confident and independent. He came out of his shell. It won’t be possible without the lovely team of The Grove Nursery.
I would recommend this nursery to all the parents I know so far.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are happy with The Grove Nursery. Since Easter, our son has been attending full-time, and overall, we have had a positive experience. Like any child, he has his moments, especially during morning goodbyes, but the supportive staff always goes the extra mile to ensure his safety and happiness.
One
of the advantages of The Grove Nursery is its convenient location next to the school. It offers the option for children to have school lunches, which is a great benefit. Additionally, this helps familiarize the children with the school they may attend in the future.
The staff is highly engaged, and the management organizes fantastic get-togethers, like Father's Day celebrations.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.437)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.437) out of 10 for The Grove Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 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 4.896 for The Grove Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.896
  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 4.541 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Grove Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.741
  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.
