About our Nursery Reviews and Awards
Nursery Review Moderation
At daynurseries.co.uk we take great pride in the quality and trustworthiness of our reviews.
All reviews undergo automated checks against millions of data points, with further verification by our reviews team where needed, to ensure they are genuine and comply with our review policy before publication.
Nursery Review Score
If a nursery has received one or more reviews in the previous 2 years, a daynurseries.co.uk review score (a circular icon similar to above) will show on its search result listing and on its profile page.
The review score ranges from 10 (best) - 1 (worst). The score's algorithm takes into account the quantity, quality and recency of a nursery's reviews and ratings.
We hope it provides care seekers with a simple, but powerful 'at a glance' metric. However we recommend reading every review if interested in a particular nursery.
Nursery Awards
Our annual Nursery Awards recognises 20 of the top rated Nursery in each region of the UK based on reviews parents / individuals responsible for a child.
