Lovely to see my nephew enjoying the world around him and building independence and confidence. Such a great start for him. He is so well looked after and has great relationships with the staff, he loves going.

Review from Victoria J (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son absolutely loves the nursery and the staff. It's a small nursery and the children of all ages are in the same room which is really good for his development and learning from the older children. We get regular updates and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The only room for improvement
I would suggest is a bit less processed food.

Review from P S (Father of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Watership Down is a fantastic local nursery. I can only speak positively about the staff and management. Everyone is in one room and this helps the child mix and learn. It's not a large chain nursery and the staff really are passionate about helping children learn and develop. Our eldest daughter developed
so much whilst at Watership Down, and our youngest currently attends and is enjoying every minute of it.

Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have three children and over the past decade have used several childcare and nursery settings, and this is by far the best one we've used. It is an extremely welcoming, friendly setting with a real family feel to it. I really love the mixed age group, as it teaches the older children patience and
inclusivity, and gives the younger children the ability to learn from the older.


The staff are the real asset, their turnover is really low (unlike so many other settings we've used) and my child adores them all.


I honestly have nothing bad to say about Watership Down and will be really sad when it's time to leave and move on!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.383)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.383) out of 10 for The Watership Down Nursery & Preschool 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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 4.883 for The Watership Down Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.883
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Watership Down Nursery & Preschool 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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 5 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.
