Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a wonderful nursery. It is the 5th I've tried and is head and shoulders above the rest. My 4 year old loves it and is always excited to come. He eats the healthy food they provide, and I find out what's he has had and played on the app ( with photos). He learns tons and often talks about it.
Prices are very reasonable- and they allow flexible booking which is a total godsend. They have been such a help and I feel so lucky to have found them!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for four months. I viewed lots of different nurseries and knew this was the perfect one at our look around. My daughter has learnt so much, being cared for perfectly, provided with brilliant activities and resources for play. The staff are so welcoming, caring
and reassuring. I feel so at ease leaving my baby in their care, they are hands down the best nursery we have experienced. The setting is clean, bright and wonderful. My daughter is incredibly content here and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks to all the amazing staff, I love Selca and wish I'd known about them sooner!

My 1yr old started at the Treforest setting in June. Words cannot describe how fantastic the girls are here! My daughter gets so excited when she's waiting to be dropped off which is such a lovely feeling that she's going somewhere she's genuinely happy to be. Loads of updates throughout the day showing
SO many different activities. At home we have noticed how she is progressing a lot more too with their input. Fab place - if you're considering starting your child here then definitely do it!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one has grown so much in confidence since she started at Selca in Treforest. She seems really happy and settled compared to previous nurseries and the staff are always amazing with her. You can see the relationships she has already with the staff, particularly the manager and another lady.
The nursery is really flexible and accommodating and I feel so relaxed leaving her and knowing that she is safe!

This setting is absolutely perfect for my little girl and she loves it! The staff are so lovely and do so much with the little ones, the communication is amazing, updated all throughout the day on a regular basis with lovely pictures and information. I feel so happy that ive found such a wonderful nursery
and would highly recommend to anyone. The children do lots of learning through play and my LG is already blossoming being there. 10/10
She is currently doing 1 day a week to settle in and in September will go full time, I do not have one worry or doubt in my mind and looking forward to her continuing to grow and shine here

Both of my kids love going to Selca. They are always doing activities and are so thoughtful. I'm American and on 4th of July they came home with 4th of July crafts! Something that was very special to me.
After having my son in few different local settings, we've found our home at Selca. The staff are
so warm and welcoming. 5 star all around. Thank you for being a home away from home for my babies.

My daughter started attending Selca Day Care in Treforest in April, and she absolutely loves both the nursery and the teachers.
A wide variety of meals on the menu, offering plenty of options.
Engaging and educational activities.
Friendly and caring staff whom my daughter adores.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started with Selca a few months ago after a bad experience at another nursery. From the looking around and settling in sessions till today my son and I have been totally impressed with both the nursery and staff. As a previous nursery nurse I have high expectations of the care/activities/ cleanliness
/ meals and professionalism of the staff. All of the above exceeds my expectations. My son loves going there and has formed a very good attachment to his key worker. I have regular updates from the nursery with photos and my son is always busy doing a variety of activities and looks happy.
I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.595)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.595) out of 10 for Selca Day Nursery - Treforest 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.979 for Selca Day Nursery - Treforest is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.979
  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 4.616 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Selca Day Nursery - Treforest is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.816
  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.
