My son started in nursery and moved up into preschool, what can I say apart from - Thank you! Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough. All the staff are absolutely amazing! My son has thrived since attending, and people comment on how much my son has improved in every aspect. He absolutely loved
his key workers, and was always so happy to go in ... you're all so amazing.
Thank you all for being the best start for his education!

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School

Both our children have had the most wonderful journey through their time at Head Start and left well prepared for the next chapter of school. The staff support every aspect of the children's welfare and education whilst maintaining a fun and welcoming environment. The grounds and faculties are excellent
and well utilised with the children. As parents we will be sad to say goodbye and will always be grateful for the opportunities that Head Start have provided our children to develop an enjoyment of learning.

Both my children loved their time at Head Start. My second started school this week and has settled in with ease "as if he'd been here forever." They made good friends, their nursery teachers were always kind and caring, attentive, and formed close attachments to them. My first never misses a chance
to go back and say hi. Everything was good, but the Spanish lessons, the concerts, and the graduation were real highlights.
I wholeheartedly recommend.

Reply from Sid, Senior Marketing Executive at Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are to hear that both of your children had a great experience at Head Start. It is lovely to know that your second child transitioned to school smoothly and that they formed strong bonds with their nursery teachers and friends.

Our experience of Head Start Nursery has been fantastic. We immediately felt happy and comfortable leaving our boys in their care. The staff have been amazing, supporting us at every milestone. It's a very anxious time leaving your child in someone else's care but we felt at ease that they were in a
home-from-home. It will forever be in our hearts and the wonderful memories we have.

My nephew's first year at Crews Hill has been incredible. From the settling period to his first day attending independently. The staff's care and dedication is evident and I have recommended the nursery to many people. Managers are always on hand for support and help.

My son absolutely loved his time at Head Start Enfield. We all adore the staff members and are so grateful for the wonderful warm care he received while here. It was such a comfort to go to work knowing that he was in good hands. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful going the extra mile to ensure
my son is happy and healthy. We are so sad to be leaving a lovely nursery and lovely people.
Thank you.

Our daughter and son attend Head Start Day Nursery Crews Hill
My son is only one and settled after a couple of weeks of tears. He now gets so excited to go in and has made such lovely relationships with his carers. He loves his time there.
My daughter loves her nursery class and is always talking
about the fun things she has done and the friends she has made, she also has made very close relationships with her careers.

I have enjoyed being part of this community since the first day I visited, the team was beyond kind and made me feel very welcome.
I really like that they have a settling process of 5-6 weeks which gave me the confidence to know my daughter was ok on her first day and go back to work as she spent time
there before.
I love the facilities of this nursery, kids can be kids, run and enjoy nature. They have indoor and outdoor activities daily and they don’t have to make “special tours” to the garden as it is just outside the rooms.
Even though I have a lot of nurseries closer to my place, I don’t mind driving 15 minutes daily to drop her.

My son has been attending Head Start for the last 9 months and we could not be happier. The staff are so lovely and generally caring of the children. The activities and experiences the children are offered are enriching and exciting and my son loves coming! We love receiving updates and pictures of
what he has done during the day. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

We could not be happier with this nursery - our little one is so happy going into nursery and leaves with a smile every time! This is thanks to all the amazing staff - the key workers are excellent, they always go above and beyond - thank you! My little one has learnt a lot and continues to progress.
I love the regular observations and updates. The outdoor space is fabulous and always a variety of activities and play every time.

I can’t thank everyone at Head Start Day Nursery. The progress our son has made since joining in September 2022 is above and beyond anything we could have ever expected. He is so much more confident and is so happy every time I drop him off. He loves all his nursery teachers and they have such a nurturing,
caring way with him! The best decision we have made as parents!

I have placed both of my children here and couldn't be happier. The team are so friendly and accommodating and work tirelessly to provide the children at the nursery wonderful experiences, fun activities and new opportunities of learning. It has a huge outdoor space and the layout inside has been very
cleverly thought out. In my opinion Head Start Day Nursery Crews Hill is unrivalled in every area.

Our cousins little one started with Crews Hill Nursery which helped us make the decision to do the same. The team have been very welcoming and accommodating of any needs or preferences and spent the time to assure us of any queries we have. The management are very efficient and are always on hand to

My one year old has recently started at Head Start Crew Hill and I can honestly say we are so pleased that we chose this nursery. The care she receives is so lovely and I'm sure it has made the transition easier for her. The staff all knew her name straight away and make a fuss when she arrives in
the mornings. They've been really supportive encouraging me to call up to check in on her if I have needed to and going through any questions I have when I drop her off. This has made a big different to me as a parent whilst I adjust to the change! My husband and I both love the app that shows pictures of her that day and tells us when she slept, what she ate and how many nappy changes she had that day. We really look forward to seeing this each day. The nursery also provides a weekly newsletter letting us know the activities for that week and also reminders on things we might need to know/do.
Thanks to all the staff here for doing a fantastic job!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.964 for Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Crews Hill Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 16 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 16 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.
