Since joining St Nicholas nursery, my son has really thrived. He has an excellent relationship with the staff, and they all come across as very caring. He loves attending nursery, and since the day he joined, we have never had any problems with him not wanting to attend. This is a testament to how well
the staff take care of the children.

Our three and a half-year-old son has now been for 10-months at St Nicholas, first within the toddler group and then moving on to pre-school. We are absolutely delighted with the care and development he gets at the nursery, and all staff are brilliant. We have seen him learn a lot, develop his skills,
and we loved the use of monthly themes to teach the children about general culture. We recommend this setting very highly.

When I come there is a warm feeling, all the staff are friendly. So, I have full confidence in them when I leave my little one in the morning. My daughter is happy and enjoying her time at the nursery. And, of course, they have plenty of learning opportunities through play. I couldn't have chosen a
better nursery and can't thank the key worker and the team enough for the amazing work they do.

I am really happy with this nursery. All people who work there has made me feel a safe mother to my child. I am very grateful for all support that teachers gave to my son about the food and how to be independent in self-feeding. I am really happy with their plan about what they learn in the nursery
and what they doing all day. The space inside the nursery is very nice and safe. The only thing I want to say from my heart is, thank you, thank you, thank you!

An excellent nursery. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Both my children have become so confident and have gained many skills including their physical, social and emotional development. St Nicholas isn't just a nursery but more like an extended family, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.

The staff at St Nicholas nursery are great, and our two daughters love it there. The nursery has lots of fun themed days and also celebrate many religious days too. The daily activities combined with the themed months, eg, this month its space, means our girls learn lots of different things. The nursery
also supports us with what we do at home, eg, potty training, which means there is no confusion. Out girls seem very happy and we would highly recommend this nursery for anyone thinking to send their children there.

I don't think I can think of anything but positive words to say about the nursery and its staff. My twin girls love coming here every day and that in itself is testament to St Nicholas. I find the nursery to be a 'home away from home' environment for my girls, where not only do they learn and play,
but they are also nurtured and loved and cared for. Thank you for all the hard work you all put in, helping us as parents build a solid foundation for our children and for also making us feel comfortable and at ease.

Both boys love attending St Nicholas. The staff are incredibly nurturing, attentive and encouraging. I feel the progress they have made in the short time they have attended is significant. The staff are thorough in their feedback and have a strong understanding of the children. I feel very at ease knowing
they are well looked after.

I have been very pleased with the care and affection provided to my child in the baby room.
I have noticed a change in her behaviour and she is more confident and interactive, she loves her teachers and seems to really enjoy herself. I was anxious at first but now I don't think twice about her care.

My daughter has been at St Nicholas nursery for just about two months and her growth in every aspect has been tremendous and outstanding.
Her vocabulary has markedly improved and she shows a lot of independence at home as well now which we previously struggled with. I can only credit the amazing staff
at the nursery for this
Than you for a short but nothing less than a wonderful stay.

I cannot thank you enough for the hard job you're all doing. My son is very attached to everyone in St Nicholas Nursery and loves all his teachers. This place is like a 2nd home for us. Teachers always friendly and smiley, giving proper feedback after each day. They are giving their best to make our
lives easier and to make our little ones happy. St Nicholas will always be in our hearts as we have spent 3 happy years in this place. We still have one more year to enjoy.

The nursery has been fantastic in their encouragement in my child's development. The staff are friendly and totally professional. They support my belief in child led, encouragement and praise. I have noticed his vocabulary improving, he enjoys cooking and more role play. I feel nursery has complimented
my style of parenting. He has become more confident and independent in activities. I enjoy looking at Tapestry to see what activities my child has been included in.

Excellent nursery for child growth. I would recommend this nursery to any of my family or other people. My child is so well cared for and looked after. I feel secure when my son is here and I can see his development. I wouldn't trust anywhere or anyone else to leave my child. At the end of the day,
that is what a parent wants, a place where the child is cared for safeguarded and well cared for.

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.
