Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a mother of two who use this nursery. Our eldest is 3 in December and the youngest 1 in December. They both joined in September. Prior to joining, we were quite nervous as they had never been left with anyone other than family. We are now so glad we found this nursery. They are both thriving and
loving it. We get regular updates and gorgeous photos of our children having a lovely time. Since joining our children have both developed at an incredible rate, and they adore the staff there, and the staff are clearly very involved and caring with a passion for what they do.

Excellent nursery, amazing resources and facilities, especially for 3 years +. I really like how they often mix class ages and how much outdoor play there is.
All children seem to be very well-adjusted, happy and thriving.

Our daughter has really settled into nursery and this is down to the incredible team that looks after her. We are confident heading to work, knowing they attend to her individual needs and she is well cared for. The nursery is great at doing activities with them daily (not so common at other nurseries)
and sharing updates about her progress and sending us lots of photos via the app. Sending her here was the best decision we made.

Review from Isabelle O (Mother of Child) published on 18 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at St Francis for two months now and she loves it. She joined at age 2, having previously been at another nursery due to relocation, and although the transition to a new nursery was tricky for her, the staff were amazing at making her feel welcome and settled very quickly. They
got to know her as an individual and worked really closely with us to help her thrive.
The communication is excellent and we receive daily photos and details of all the varied activities she has been enjoying. A huge bonus for us compared to other nurseries we looked at is the space. The rooms are spacious and the equipment and facilities are amazing. The children have access not only to a large garden area but also the school grounds. This makes nursery days so much more enjoyable for our daughter. Staff are always planning really engaging activities such as cooking, dance lessons, Forest school etc. and we've seen her develop so many new skills and interests as a result.

Outstanding nursery.
Our Daughter is so happy attending St Francis Nursery.

We are very fortunate to send our daughter there, she has come a long way with the help of this nursery.
Highly Recommend.
Thank you so much!

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery. He is developing new skills and loves the interaction with the other children. From the day he started he has been happy and been himself. I have always felt at peace leaving him in the capable, caring hands of the team, knowing he is enjoying his day whilst
I get on with mine. I appreciate the app updates and this is very simple to set up and use. Any message sent is read and responded to in a timely manner.

Our child has had a fantastic time at St Francis' Nursery so far. We've received fantastic support and advice, and they've worked with us in looking at potential additional needs for our child. It really feels like teamwork between us and the nursery support staff.
The swimming is also absolutely fantastic,
our child loves swimming and it's really increased their confidence in the water which is such a brilliant life skill.
Our child is also enjoying learning French at nursery.

We highly recommend this nursery. They keep you updated via the app so you’re able to have a full understanding of what your child’s done throughout the day. They upload curriculum information and photos which is great to see and create open communication between the nursery and ourselves about our
daughter. The teachers provide updates in the morning for drop off and when picking up, which is a much-appreciated interaction and provides peace of mind, knowing our daughter is in a safe setting and seeing her develop over the last few months has been amazing.

Really pleased with my daughter going to this nursery. They communicate well with us when we collect her and through the portal. The nursery manager and the teachers work so hard and it’s a joy to know when we go to collect her what great relationships she has developed with them in such a short amount
of time when she’s telling me she wanted to stay with them at nursery longer. We are glad we made the decision to send her there and cannot praise them enough for everything they are doing to make her experience of nursery so enjoyable.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for St Francis' Nursery 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.960 for St Francis' Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (333 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.96
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Francis' Nursery is based on 29 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 29 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.
