The staff at Cwtch Nursery Fairwater are fantastic, they're always tentative and supportive with our child and listen to his needs. Communication is great and the updates we receive from them show our boy has had a great day learning and playing. Thanks again for all you do :)

My son attended baby room from the day it opened. He absolutely loved it there and the staff were fantastic. We have moved up to cwtch pentrebane now and he still loves going. He has so much fun and is always happy to be there.

Great nursery and staff, very friendly and approachable. My son loves going in and has a fabulous time, staff are warm and kind to parents also and take time to check in on them as well as the kids. The best decision we made was bringing our son to this setting. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Cwtch! They are amazing with my son. I had mum guilt going back to work but they made me feel so much better and relieved how they were with my son. He gets so excited when he sees the Antis at Cwtch. The setting is so lovely and gives a lovely home feel. The activities are great. It's
lovely to see on the app the little outings they have and all the fun they have.

The nursery manager's support was great during my daughter's settling-in period. Her guidance and the wonderful staff have created a positive environment where my daughter thrives. The regular photo updates on the app are great. If we have any questions, the nursery is quick to respond.

I can't express enough how thankful I am for the wonderful care my baby has received at Cwtch Fairwater. From the moment we joined, the staff made us feel so welcome and I could immediately tell how much they genuinely care for each child. My little one has thrived in the nurturing environment and I
love how engaged the staff are in helping each child grow at their own pace. The setting itself is just beautiful-clean, bright, and full of activities that keep my baby entertained and learning.

Since I contacted Cwtch last year when I had returned from maternity leave and my childcare arrangements had let me down I can't speak more highly of the managers, they accommodated me and my family and nothing was too much hassle for them. They were understanding and welcoming, my little boy loves
it at Cwtch and I can't wait for my little girl to arrive so she can join at some point too.

Review from Laura T (Mother of Child) published on 7 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

My daughter attends Cwtch on a full-time basis. We came from a previous setting and I was initially anxious as she was so settled there, but I need not have worried as she settled extremely quickly. So much so we only needed a 1-hour settle session. She has a wonderful relationship with her key worker
but loves all members of staff there. She is excited to attend each day and toddles to the door to be let in without looking back or saying goodbye - she's too excited to get in and play with all the amazing resources. The child-led ethos is one of the reasons I'm glad we chose Cwtch. She's such a water baby and loves all the outside activities and messy play. She loves the majority of the meals and snacks on offer and is now super confident with an open cup. Since joining her speech and gross motor skills have come on no end. She can say 200% more than is to be expected at this age and walks with confidence. I fully believe that's down to the care and attention she gets at Cwtch.

Aww, we are super happy that your daughter has developed so much, we love seeing all the children learn, play and grow! We really do like getting messy with the children - the water and sand pit seem…read more

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Cwtch Childcare - Fairwater 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.972 for Cwtch Childcare - Fairwater is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.972
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cwtch Childcare - Fairwater is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 22 number of registered child places is 4.4, which has been reached with 9 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.
