Review from Belinda C (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is a lovely nursery, and they have only a selected number of pupils in each room.
My child is mostly happy to go in without any encouragement, but sometimes it is needed. All the staff know all the children's names.
They do lots of different activities with the children, and my daughter loves playing
outside. She also loves messy play.
The food is also very good, my daughter eats most of what they offer to her.
We do pack a tea for her daily, just in case.
They have clear guide lines for policies which is good.
Any communication is dealt with swiftly and professionally.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We love Bovan Creek and so does our daughter. She is in the baby room but has some time with the older children as well. It's a very calm atmosphere and the other children are lovely. The staff are fantastic and take amazing care of the children. She loves her key worker but also everyone else in her
room which is lovely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with bovan creek. From the very first day, the staff have been so welcoming, caring, and attentive. My son had difficulty settling in at other nurseries, but here the transition was smooth and easy, he absolutely loved it ! we're always kept updated on his progress, daily routines,
and any little milestones he achieves. We are so grateful for the wonderful team.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.597)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.597) out of 10 for Bovan Creek 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 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 4.972 for Bovan Creek is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bovan Creek 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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.375
  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.
