My son has been going to Kids Time for nearly 4 years. The staff have been amazing! They have helped with my sons development and we have regular meetings to discuss how we can move forward. My son has come on leaps and bounds and also asks to go to nursery on his none nursery days. I highly recommend

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended this nursery, and I've always been impressed by the wonderful staff. They are incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely love the children. It's a warm, supportive, and nurturing place that feels like a second home. I've always felt confident leaving my children in their
care, knowing they're safe, happy, and well looked after.
Reply from Sabah Singh, Managing Director at Kids-Time

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My baby was very upset when she started nursery less than a year ago - and so was I! The staff have been fantastic and have really helped her to settle in and now she loves to go. They have a great variety of activities - I love seeing photos of her playing outside, dancing on Tuesdays, reading and
learning. I feel like her speech has improved a lot through nursery and that the staff really encourage her little chatter. They offer a variety of food that she really seems to enjoy. In my experience this is a brilliant nursery and I would highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.818) out of 10 for Kids-Time 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 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 4.895 for Kids-Time is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.895
  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 4.923 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids-Time is based on 24 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 130 number of registered child places is 26. 24 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.923
  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.
