Review from Doina L (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely nursery with such caring and attentive staff. My child is always happy to go in and comes out with a big smile. It's clear the team really cares about the children and creates a warm environment.The manager & the staff are fantastic, always smiling, kind, and professional, and they go above
and beyond to make each child feel safe and cared for. Communication with parents is excellent too. I always feel kept up to date with how my child is doing, and it's reassuring to know what they've been learning and enjoying each day. The activities are thoughtful, fun, and educational, and I've noticed such positive growth in my child's confidence since joining. I highly recommend Newcastle Kindergarden!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since September 2024 and she has been loving it, she has come out of her shell so much since being here and has formed amazing relationships with the other children and staff, always clean and tidy, plenty of toys and an amazing outdoor play area. We are always
kept well informed on how she is doing and activities the children have been doing. 100% recommend this nursery!

Review from Chisom I (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am incredibly grateful for the care and education my son receives at Newcastle Kindergarten. The staff are amazing-so nurturing, patient, and truly dedicated to each child's growth. My son has flourished since joining, learning important cognitive skills in a fun and engaging way.


The nursery provides

a warm and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged. Their teaching approach fosters both academic and social development, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my son's learning and confidence.


I highly recommend Newcastle Kindergarten to any parent looking for a supportive, friendly, and high-quality early education setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All members of staff go above and beyond to look after the little ones.
There's always a worry about leaving my child with someone else, but when bringing him into nursery I know he will have the best time while being correctly cared for.


Time in the Sun room seems to be going very fast! I just

wish everyone was able to move to the next room with him.


We really appreciate all the care and time spent with him. It has really helped our little one become a super noisy, happy and clever toddler and I look forward to seeing how he continues to grow.


It's also lovely to see the manager so involved with each of the rooms and having such a lovely bond with so many of the children.


Only half negative comment - when new staff members are joining the room, it would be nice for them to introduce themselves. I am unsure how many people work in the Sun Room, but there are only 2 I know the names off.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.012)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.012) out of 10 for Newcastle Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.905 for Newcastle Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.905
  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 4.107 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Newcastle Kindergarten is based on 7 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 = 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.407
  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.
