Located within Over Children’s Centre, Over Nursery & Preschool is a bright, welcoming place offering high quality early-years education and care for children from 3 months to 4 years. The setting features three dedicated rooms – Baby, Toddler, and Preschool – with free-flow access to secure garden areas. Each space is thoughtfully designed to support every stage of your child’s development.

The Baby Room offers a calm, homely space with its own sleep and outdoor areas – perfect for little ones to develop confidence in a peaceful environment. The bright and spacious Toddler Room encourages exploration, independence, and social skills through imaginative play. In Preschool, children enjoy a stimulating open-plan space filled with engaging opportunities to prepare them for school, including weekly transitional sessions, where children spend time in the Reception class at Over Hall Community School.

At the heart of the setting is a caring, highly qualified team dedicated to helping every child thrive at their own pace. Each room is overseen by an experienced supervisor, while the Nursery & Preschool Manager – a Level 7 Early-Years Teacher – leads a culture of care, curiosity, and growth. In partnership with the early-years team at the Children’s Centre, Over Nursery & Preschool ensures each child’s learning and development needs are fully supported every step of the way.

The team warmly invites families to come and visit to see just how special the setting feels in person.

Review from D J (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff at the Over nursery are friendly, approachable and helpful. They answer messages quickly and help resolve any issues. I love the move to the app, I feel that I am getting updates on the activities my child is completing and this allows me to talk to her about them when she comes home. Over provide
regular parents evening appointments, which enables me to discuss my child’s progress and talk about areas that can be developed at home. I have noticed that the nursery offers many external activities e.g. mini zoo and stay and play sessions. My only criticism of this (selfishly of course) would be to maybe alter the day, as it is always on a Friday and my child does not attend on a Friday, so often misses out on these experiences. My child has attended Over nursery since 10 months old and has thrived. Her speech is amazing and she often talks about the staff as being her ‘friends’, she loves going to nursery and I’m sure she will continue to do so when she moves into preschool.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for S4YC @ Over 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.812 for S4YC @ Over is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.812
  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 S4YC @ Over is based on 18 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
