Kids Play Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery provides children with the opportunity to develop through structured play.

During the time at the nursery, children are provided with healthy and nutritious meals and parents can attend regular parents evenings where they can talk to the nursery's team of professional and experienced staff.

The nursery was awarded a 'good’ rating by Ofsted in June 2018 for the quality and standard of care provided to children in a learning environment where they can enjoy structured play opportunities both inside and out.
                                                        
Taking Nature Based Play to the next level, the Nursery also develops young minds using the ‘curiosity’ approach. Children and babies are encouraged to play with everyday items, like telephones, clocks and treasure baskets. Research has found the curiosity approach provide more stimulus than toys alone.

My son has been extremely happy since he started at Kids Play in the baby room at 7 months old.
He moved up to the toddler room at Christmas and still loves attending. He gets involved in lots of activities; getting very messy which he loves. He always has a belly full of food too.
The staff and management
have been great if any concerns or issues have arisen.

Our little girl has been coming to Kids Play Nursery now for 2 years plus and we, as parents, love how the preschool is run. All the teachers are brilliant and so helpful in all aspects. The safeguarding is excellent.

Our son has been attending the nursery since he was 10 months old and we are so happy with our decision. From day 1, the girls have made us feel comfortable and individual. My son isn't just a number - he is a valued member of the Kids Play family. Nearly 2 years on, he has just had 2 tasters of pre-school
and he is so happy to be making the move - which I know is down to the care and support the girls give here.

My son (28 months) has been attending Kids Play since November 2017. He had never been looked after by anyone except family prior to this. All the staff at Kids Play were fantastic when he started and have taken the time to get to know my son and all his little traits. They have paid him lots of attention
as he didn't settle in the early days. My son attends 3 days a week now and absolutely loves it, I struggle getting him home! All the staff are fantastic and give regular updates about my son's progress both in his diary and online interactive learning journal. They even reassure me on the numerous phone calls I make a day to check on my son!
There are always plenty of interesting activities for the children to get involved with and are regularly encouraged to explore in their own ways. There is always freshly prepared, healthy food for the children and they are encouraged to sit at the table with each other and interact.
I would recommend Kids Play to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for Kids Play Bury St Edmunds Day 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.917 for Kids Play Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 Kids Play Bury St Edmunds Day Nursery is based on 21 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 21 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.
