Review from Kyle M (Father of Child) published on 31 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not be happier with our daughter's nursery. The setting itself is absolutely lovely welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully designed to help little ones feel safe and happy. The staff are truly exceptional, incredibly talented, patient, and genuinely caring. Their warmth and dedication shine through
in everything they do.


Our daughter is currently going through an autism diagnosis, and the understanding, sensitivity, and support shown by the team has been nothing short of amazing. They have taken the time to really know her, adapt to her individual needs, and ensure she feels comfortable, included, and supported every single day.


It brings us so much peace knowing she is in such capable and compassionate hands. We are endlessly grateful for the care they provide and would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any family.

Review from C W (Mother of Child) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy a has settled into Ivy House Ham really well, despite me being really worried about leaving him. The staff have been great and made us feel very welcome & at home. The outside space is lovely and they go on lots of little trips with the little ones.
One concern I had with sending him
to any sort of childcare was communication and being kept in the loop with how my child is settling/doing but communication has been great. Such a relief!
Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a parent, leaving your little one with anyone is hard, not least strangers. But the whole team at Ivy House genuinely understand (as parents themselves) what it's like. They've created a nurturing environment that feels a home away from home. My little one reaches for the team when he arrives each
day, and is so happy when we pick him up. The app is updated regularly so we can keep up to date with what they're up to. The staff are great communicators. Ivy House have made a difficult thing so much easier, and I'm genuinely safe in the knowledge my little one is ok when he's with them.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.563)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.563) out of 10 for Ivy House Nursery Ham Street 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 5.000 for Ivy House Nursery Ham Street is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5
  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 3.563 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ivy House Nursery Ham Street 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.313
  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.
