Review from Chantell T (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Vanessa Nursery has provided a fantastic level of care throughout my daughter's time. She started aged 2 and staff have ensured learn through play is super interactive, which aids her development. The swimming pool is a great element in my daughter's learning, and I highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had all three children at Vanessa Nursery and it has been amazing. Our children are all so different but each made huge progress and were so happy there. The teaching quality and teachers are fantastic and provide a warm and supportive environment for parents and children. Couldn't recommend
more!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter attends Vanessa Nursery School, which we discovered during a walk near our home. As expats, we were not very familiar with the various schools in the area - but we were incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon Vanessa Nursery School. From day one, we have felt welcomed and reassured that
our child would be in good hands.
The staff at Vanessa Nursery are warm, caring, and dedicated individuals who consistently give 100%. If you're looking for a nursery with a strong sense of community and a deep commitment to your child's safety and well-being, Vanessa's is definitely the place for your family.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.258)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.258) out of 10 for Vanessa Nursery School 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 4.861 for Vanessa Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.861
  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 3.397 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vanessa Nursery School is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 102 number of registered child places is 20.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.4 = 0.147
  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.
