Review from Danielle O (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Shaping Futures is a fab private nursery. We use them for wrap around care for our little boy which is great weight off our mind when we are working. They've been fantastic with my little boy. He absolutely loves going there more so than school. They really cater to my sons needs and take interest in
the things he enjoys and make sure he does things he enjoys every time he goes there. Very supportive with a child who regressed in terms of toilet training. Very good value for money and very flexible which suits our family perfectly. Great communication also. Can't recommend them enough for families who need the flexibility with child care. My son has come on leaps and bounds since hes been going there. Thank you guys

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son met this team longer ago, when he was about 2 year old, exactly on Pandemic period. They've been named differently but the owner was the same. He had great time and the period spent with the team was so valued for us. He learn and grew making friends, and now he still goes to the Romanian club,
twice a month and he loves it. Many activities, games and entertainment and the prices are afordable and the must for us is the lift, being taken from home and brought back is important. Thank you for your support.

Review from Yevheniia K (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The two kids of mine have been going to this nursery for about 3 years so far. My daughter started when she was 1.5 years old, and she was always happy to go there. So was my older son, who attends the after-school club. The nursery has always been very accommodating to my needs, helping me out when
my working hours changed. They have always been able to provide wraparound care, which is very important and allows me to be at work on time.

Shaping Futures is a brilliant environment for the children. The staff work incredibly hard and always provide full details of the day and breakdown of any need to knows for parents. All staff are very friendly and always attentive. Nicki and the team are continually engaging the children in fun activities
and crafts, there is always something fun on for the children. My son loves the nursery and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare for their child. It is also fantastic for holiday activities outside term and for a range of ages too, so really there is so much on offer here. Thanks team.

I'd highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and stimulating environment. Nikki and her team are warm, patient, and genuinely caring-they always greet him with a smile and make him feel safe. The nursery is clean, well-organised, and full of engaging activities.
Communication is excellent, with daily updates that help me feel connected to his day.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.588)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.588) out of 10 for Shaping Futures 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.938 for Shaping Futures is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.938
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shaping Futures 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 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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, which has been reached with 8 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.
