Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Seedlings offers all children a fantastic learning environment with staff who truly care about the children and their learning and development in the preschool setting. The outdoor space is large and contained allowing for safe and frequent outdoor activities. They encourage independence, development
in all areas and all in all a great preschool environment and experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son Arlo has attended Seedlings for a while.


I have been throughly pleased with it since the start. The staff are welcome each morning and help with the transition of him in to the pre school. He always has fulfilling days and enjoys the weekly forest school especially.


He's also already learning

a lot and can recognise letters and make phonics sounds.


He talks positively about staff - especially Becky - and says he likes playing with them and the other children.


I would not hesitate to recommend seedlings to anyone who was contemplating it.

Seedlings is a wonderful setting. My 3 children have all thrived there. The staff are kind, personable and knowledgeable too.
I have always felt comfortable leaving them there in the knowledge they are safe and well cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Staff work hard to help children transition into preschool at start of day, children feel safe and happy with staff whilst enjoying activities and resources, good end of day photos etc. Mine love the forest school activities. Could improve on handover details perhaps.

Review from Abbie H (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my daughters have been through Sutton Seedlings from September 2020 up until now (July 2023) this is now the last week for my youngest.
I cannot praise them enough, they've been very supportive of my family and really helped my little ones to learn and prepare for school, they love the staff
and the toys and have made some great friendships. They've also been on multiple trips.
I'd especially recommend this if you're planning on going to Sutton primary as my youngest has had lots of interaction with her teacher for starting reception in September and is really looking forward to starting school!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have sent both of our boys to Sutton Seedlings Pre-School over the past five years and they have had the best time. The staff have been welcoming, friendly, supportive and most importantly really fun. There are lots of opportunities and a varied content of activities. They have given much time and
reassurance to help them both settle into their new environment and routines, helping them both grow immensely. The staff have helped the boys become familiar and confident with reception class, making the transition smooth. We would thoroughly recommend Sutton Seedlings Pre-School.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.286)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.286) out of 10 for Sutton Seedlings Pre-School 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 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 4.786 for Sutton Seedlings Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 56 Ratings = 4.786
  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 Sutton Seedlings Pre-School 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 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 = 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, 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.
