Our daughter has been at St Nicholas Nursery for over a year in the baby room. We are thrilled with the care and support that she has received and the quality of communication from the nursery. Our daughter has become more independent and confident during this time, and her language has improved significantly.
We are very impressed by how well the nursery staff know our daughters' needs, and we are always reassured that she is in the best of care throughout the day.

I am super happy with my son at St Nicholas Nursery. He absolutely loves it. He has come out of his shell and has made a few friends. He loves the activities and outings with the nursery. I highly recommend this nursery to family and friends. I'll miss the nursery when he leaves, the staff are amazing.
Never had an issue in the 2 years my son has been here.

My child attended another nursery before coming to St Nicholas Nursery and there has been the most noticeable difference in his confidence. The attention to detail and care given to each child is evident in how they all act with each other, staff and even parents. I would wholeheartedly recommend St
Nicholas Nursery
to every parent with the desire to equip their child for primary school. Not to mention there is the most commendable sense of community amongst all within the nursery, parents included. You will never be out of touch with the progress of your child's education/development or changes within the nursery. Absolutely 10/10.

Since my son started in April, the transformation we've witnessed has been remarkable. My son, who has struggled with a speech delay, has begun to flourish and develop immensely. Every day brings new words and progress.
The nursery staff adore every child, creating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere.
The focused speech and language sessions, whether in small groups or one-on-one, have been instrumental in optimizing my son's communication skills. His independence in daily tasks has increased, and he is now more engaged in play and improving in all aspects of his learning.
Since our tour, we shared our concerns about his previous nursery & the staff immediately addressed these issues, providing a structured environment where he now eagerly participates in activities and remains engaged for extended periods.
Choosing this nursery has been the best decision our family has made. The staff go above and beyond for each child and family, making it a truly great & remarkable nursery!

My son started at just 12 months old and settled in incredibly well, which I attribute to the nurturing and welcoming environment provided by the staff.
The teachers are truly exceptional and have a genuine passion for childcare. Three of the teachers deserve a special shout-out for their outstanding
dedication and kindness. They have been brilliant with my son, always attentive to his needs and ensuring he feels happy and secure.
My son absolutely loves it there, and I have seen tremendous growth in his development and social skills since he started. The nursery offers a wide range of extracurricular activities that keep him engaged and excited to learn. The weekly updates with photos of what my son gets up to are a wonderful touch, allowing me to share in his experiences and see his progress.
The peace of mind knowing my son is in such capable and caring hands is priceless. Thank you to all the staff for making his experience so wonderful!

We were very happy with St Nicholas Nursery for our daughter and have only moved her as we moved home. She went when she was one and not quite walking/talking and left when she was 18 months, running around and chatting. She settled in quickly and enjoyed going there every day. The staff were always
friendly and caring and she bonded with many of them. She engaged in lots of activities and we appreciated the feedback, pictures, art work and performances. Many thanks to all the staff for looking after her so well.

St Nicholas Nursery is an absolutely fantastic nursery. They have provided my son with an educational environment. The staff are amazing. The effort they have made over the 3-4 years have been brilliant. Even throughout COVID they never stopped providing video play etc. They celebrate every event and
make such an effort.
I am very sad that our time here has ended. I wish my son could stay at St Nicholas. 10/10.

My daughter absolutely loves going to the nursery. She candidly talks about the staff within the nursery and her activities. She adores all the staff involved, and that shows the dedication, commitment, care and hard work of the staff. They are absolutely brilliant and can't fault anything. Very caring,
polite and supportive during the daily conversations at drop-offs and pick-ups. Very recently, the renovations at the nursery have made the space very welcoming and fresh for the young learners.
Communication is brilliant as well regarding the daily routine of a child and all the events through the app, which they made available to parents. I will highly recommend and rate the nursery to any parent, who is looking for a nursery, and they provide a brilliant, nurturing environment!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for St Nicholas Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.935 for St Nicholas Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.935

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Nicholas Nursery is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2015

When I was blessed with my twin daughters, I thoroughly enjoyed their early years and I still cherish their memories. This made me move into a new career from a marketing manager to a Nursery manager. It is thriving to see the transition from babies to preschoolers and their progress and see them become confident and independent, developing their social skills and making new friends while developing their learning. Our Nursery undertakes the responsibility to provide opportunities to consolidate a solid platform for their future learning and enable them to reach their full potential whilst being in a child-centred, stimulating and fun-filled environment.

I have always loved working with children, supporting young minds to explore and develop an understanding of the world around them. Being a mother of two added more love to teaching and therefore I decided to complete my NVQ level 3 for childcare. At the end of the day, where else can you find a better place to work than working with children? You get lots of unconditional love and lots of laughter.
