Canopy Children's Nursery St Albans offers childcare to children from the age of three months up to the age they start school.

The nursery is a single storey building with windows on both sides meaning the three large rooms are filled with natural light. There are double doors at the end of the nursery so each room has its own access to the large gardens.

The nursery building has plants and natural resources inside giving it a fresh and calm atmosphere.

Nursery founder Sarah Charles has worked hard to ensure her nurseries celebrate the magic moments in childhood.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is really enjoying Canopy Nursery. He settled very quickly and comes home happy every day. We love seeing the updates from the nursery staff about the activities he has done and what he’s been eating. The outside space is amazing.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.385) out of 10 for Canopy Children's Nursery St Albans is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.606 for Canopy Children's Nursery St Albans is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.606
  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 4.779 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Canopy Children's Nursery St Albans is based on 15 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 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.904
  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.
