  • St Paul's Nursery, London
St Paul’s is situated in a beautifully converted church on Dock Street. The nursery is located within walking distance of Aldgate East and Tower Hill underground stations, Tower Gateway (DLR) and Liverpool and Fenchurch Street mainline stations, making the nursery an ideal location for commuters and local residents.

The building has recently undergone a significant refurbishment which has helped to create a vibrant and spacious environment for children to explore and engage in free flow activities. Children participate in daily walks and explore their local community, visiting Swedenborg Park, the Docks and a nearby playground.

This is the best nursery I've ever visited. My child settled in very well with the staff and the surroundings of the place. You can trust them with blind eyes for your child to be in the safest and enjoyable environment. Highly recommend it to the parents who are looking for a nursery for their children.

Excellent nursery with caring staff, who not only teach pre-guideline but manners as well. Our son is always happy with drop-off, which says a lot! We couldn't recommend more.

Our daughter attended the nursery; we left due to moving outside of the area. The team have always been exceptional, and we couldn’t ask for a better nursery. Every single member of staff goes the extra mile, and our daughter just loved it there.

Absolutely amazing nursery. It’s like one big family. All the members of staff are very friendly and professional. My child is so happy here and really going to miss it when she moves to school in September. The duty of care my daughter receives is outstanding; they go above and beyond, and there’s
no other nursery I would trust my child to attend.

We are very happy with St Paul's Nursery. The management is excellent with great communication and accessibility. Our child is very happy there and well looked after by key worker and other staff. In particular, the handling of the coronavirus situation has been exemplary with clear communication and
sensitivity to the difficulties of the situation for parents, children and the nursery staff. Our only reservation is the lack of outside space, but that is not the nursery's fault and is compensated for by getting out and about each day as much as possible. There is a real sense of community for the children, and this has got much stronger under the current management.

Amazing nursery with friendly and professional staff. They really do a fantastic job during this pandemic. They create a lovely, fun and warm environment for the children. Our child has been there since she was a baby and throughout, she has been loved, cared for and also supported in learning. All
the children seem very happy. They provide excellent food, and the communication from the manager is brilliant. The nursery keeps you in the loop with everything. Thank you, St Paul's team.

All the staff at St Paul's have supported my daughter and me during the last few weeks, which have been very challenging due to potty training. They have offered advice and gone above and beyond to support the process- giving daily feedback. A personal phone call from the manager helped enormously.
They do so many creative learning activities too - lots of theme-based learning, which is fantastic. Thank you for all you do as staff and management!

We started recently at this nursery and we are very happy as we really felt welcome. It is important to us that meals are prepared on-site, there is no reliance on processed food. The staff are very caring, warm and professional. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I have had dealings with the nursery on behalf of my sister whose child attends the nursery.
I don't have any children myself but seeing how much my nephew enjoys his time here with all the different activities I would definitely recommend and send my own children here.
Staff, especially senior management,
are very accommodating, in fact all the staff are obviously well co-ordinated.

I have had a wonderful experience with St Paul’s Nursery. All the staff are very lovely and welcoming. In particular, one member of staff has exceptional manners, not only in her role but also as a person. Her kindness and consideration have solidified my eagerness to make this review. Her feedback
and advice given have been so helpful. Whenever a query or concern has occurred, the manager has always been accommodating to my needs. My nephew thoroughly enjoys his time at the nursery, always complimentary about the staff and this is reflected in his boost in confidence and his eagerness to show us what he has learnt during the day. I am confident with the care my nephew receives at St Paul’s Nursery.

As a mother, you are always worried if your child is being attended to and taken care of well. With St Paul Dock Street Nursery I do not have to worry. All the caretakers are so pleasant and my daughter enjoys going to the nursery every day.

Our daughter has been going to the nursery since she was only 4 months old and is now almost 2 years old. We have always been absolutely thrilled with the quality of the staff, activities and food on site. All kids, ours included, are very excited to start each day there and come out very happy. There
are appropriate age groups and everyone is lovely as can be. The only downside for me is for parents not to have daily pictures/videos of the kids, otherwise definitely an amazing experience.

I look after a little girl that attends St Paul's Nursery. She always talks about the staff and how much fun she as at the nursery. When I pick her up the management team are very friendly and helpful they really are a lovely team always makes me feel welcome whenever I do drop off/pick up. The staff
at pick up time always give great feedback about what activities they have engaged in on the day, I have to say the activities that they provide are brilliant. The food menus are great too and all the food is freshly prepared at the nursery. I would recommend this beautiful nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.192)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.192) out of 10 for St Paul's 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 St Paul's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 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 4.275 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Paul's Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.375

  • 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.
