Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery for years, and my son before her. It is a wonderful setting with amazing ladies that run it. They are kind caring and supportive to my child, she loves to attend. We will miss this setting so much when she goes to school in September. Thankyou so much nanpantan

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started here in September 2025 after previously going to a different nursery but really struggling. The staff make the nursery a home from home. They have done wonders for my daughters social skills and she learns something new each time. The activities the staff do with them are amazing
and it's so lovely being able to pick up a happy child every time. All the staff really do go above and beyond and are happy to help with anything. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone!

Review from Sasindu K (Father of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nanpantan Nursery School has been a really special place for our family. Our daughter attended Nanpantan, and now our son goes there too, which says a lot about the trust we have in the nursery.


The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's development. They create a nurturing

and welcoming environment where children feel safe, happy, and confident to learn and grow. Both of our children have loved going to nursery, and it's been wonderful to see how much they've developed socially and emotionally during their time there.


Communication with parents has always been clear and supportive, and it's obvious that the team truly cares about the children and their wellbeing. We're very grateful for the positive experiences our children have had at Nanpantan Nursery School and would happily recommend it to other families.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to Nanpantan Nursery since she turned 2. She settled in straight away and has built really strong relationships with all the staff members. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and genuinely care for all the children. They provide a variety of different activities daily
and work 1 to 1 and in groups. The children are offered a variety of healthy snacks and encourage healthy eating. My daughter is always excited to go to nursery and sometimes doesn't want to leave! Couldn't ask for a more caring nursery.

My experience with my eldest was so good that my second child is currently attending. They truly care for the kids and my son loves going. They replicated We're Going on a Bear Hunt and my son wouldn't stop talking about it. Super happy with this nursery. A star.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A really lovely nursery, small and nurturing environment, with a friendly, communicative and genuinely caring staff team. The staff plan fun, varied and wholesome activities and respond to the children's own interests. Communication is excellent, both verbally at pick-up, and via the app. Our daughter
has settled in so well at Nanpantan and this is thanks to the kindess, care and professionalism of the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All my boys have enjoyed/ are enjoying Nanpantan nursery. The staff are lovely and plan a fantastic timetable for the children. The kids enjoy exciting whole group activities and also small group activities, where they can get hands-on with a task. The kids are encouraged to listen and communicate,
and they have good fun learning new words and singing songs. They also get lots of painting practice and come home with beautiful pieces of art. They get a lot of chance to be active and they are able to play in the fresh air
in the nursery gardens. I would highly recommend Nanpantan Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A true gem of a nursery, with a great group of staff. The communication is excellent, constantly recieving updates through the app regarding my son's day, any key information and special moments, they even send out super helpful messages about the traffic!
They have gone above and beyond in their
level of care to ensure my son is settled in at nursery even coming up with an individual plan for him. The nursery manager Michelle has called me and messaged to let me know how he has settled in after a few rocky mornings, having that support as a parent - knowing that your child is happy and settled, is such a relief. I am beyond happy with the care he has recieved, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Review from Vickie G (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Son started aged 2 in Oct 2024. He had been to previous settings but had never settled. He instantly settled at Nanpantan Nursery and was happy and excited to go. The staff were welcoming and approachable and helped so much in making sure he was happy and settled. Fast forward to Feb 2026 and he
is happy, very confident and thriving. He loves the wide range of activities the staff provide and as a parent, I love that the following the children's interests and provide many child initiated activities. Parental involvement is encouraged and there are lots of opportunities for parents to be involved with activities; special parties, events and celebrations. Everything is communicated well . It will certainly be a sad day when he leaves for school in July. Keep up the great work, what a great team you are! :-)

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.662)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.662) out of 10 for Nanpantan Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.962 for Nanpantan Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.962
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nanpantan Nursery School is based on 9 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 = 3.7
    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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, which has been reached with 9 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.
