I have two daughters both of who attended Riverston Nursery and Preschool and the same high standards have always been shown throughout our 6-year journey with Riverston.
My youngest has just left Riverston and I can honestly say Riverston Preschool goes above and beyond. The staff in preschool create
a loving and welcoming environment, and the level of learning is truly amazing - upper pre-school staff thank you so much you have given my girls the key skills they need to succeed.
Management within the nursery are friendly, organised and willing to listen and support whenever the need arises. Nothing is too much for this management team, all your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you!
Highly recommend this nursery.
A massive thank you to all at Riverston for all you do, we appreciate you!
You will be missed!

Amazing nursery. Great value for money for the A* service provided.
Staff are dedicated and professional.
My son has special needs and I am so grateful for the staff's involvement in his learning.
I arrived at Riverston by chance having looked at several other nurseries for my precious son and they
were not only the most accessible but in the long run, I certify they turned out to be the best.
I'm quite upset that this year is my son's last year as he is moving on to reception.
But I'm forever grateful for the support and care Riverton has given us.

My son loves going to nursery, what more could you ask for as a parent?
The staff are welcoming and happy to talk through the child's day. Also using the app means you get to see photos of your child engaging in activities, have an easy way to communicate with staff and read nursery news.

Riverston pre-school and nursery is a lovely environment. The staffing is very stable, with some staff having been there for over a decade. This was very important for us after experiencing nurseries where our child’s key worker changed every few months due to staff leaving.
The children get plenty
of time outdoors, in all weathers, and do forest school once a week. It’s a great place for helping children become ready for school, and our child has learned a lot in their time here.
Having use of some of the facilities of the (separate) senior school is a real bonus, the nativity show in the senior school’s theatre was absolutely delightful.
Staff pay a great deal of attention to children’s progress and emotional well-being. We have been very pleased in our decision to send our child here.

I can’t recommend Riverston Nursery and Pre-school enough. The carers are incredible and have such a lovely relationship with the children. I have 2 children attending and both of my girls love going to nursery every day. There is a great balance between education and play with the added benefit of
music class, yoga and forest school. Everything is thought through on how best to support the children as they progress through the nursery, into preschool and beyond. The head and her team are so approachable and friendly, there’s a real positive atmosphere at the nursery.

Our daughter loves Riverston and has been there for 3 and a half years. Everyday is different and the relationships created with her peers and teachers is wonderful. It’s a great way to connect with other parents too!
Flexibility with changing days is difficult but other than that, the team are willing
to support where they can.
Great to see the involvement with a variety of charities and a real focus on diversity and inclusion. Recently had a new app put in place which is great.

I had to move my daughter from Riverston due to changing job and location, but I still wanted to leave a review as my daughter was here from 9 months to 18 months old and learnt to walk, sing nursery rhymes and develop so much at this nursery that we were all sad to leave! She really came into her own
here and every morning would wait by the door at home to see her teacher.. even at weekends, when I would have to tell her, there was no nursery on that day. Teachers are just all so nice and caring, and as a single mum, they supported me with care, during lockdown when I lost my job. I could not have gotten through those dark days without them. Thank you so much! I will be sending her back to Riverston when she is older, as that is how much I value not only the Nursery but the Riverston Values and Ethics.

From the very first day our son went to Riverston nursery, he absolutely loved it. He was just over one at the time, and he has come on leaps and bounds since being there, his vocabulary and phonics are great for a two-year-old. When we ask him about his friends at nursery, he often mentions the staff
too, and when passing school during the lockdown, he would often cry because he couldn't go in! The teachers are so friendly and caring, and the information provided about his activity is great. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery to anyone.

Wonderful nursery and pre-school. The staff are lovely, supportive and caring. My children have come on leaps and bounds and this is down to the staff. All 3 of my children have attended the nursery and pre-school, I highly recommend them. The managers are fantastic, they are very helpful and knowledgable.
We will miss them all.

The nursery and preschool staff have always been extremely kind, professional and caring. Communication is excellent and I was always informed as to how my child was interacting with others forming new friendships and her learning abilities. In preschool the weeks curriculum is full, making learning
fun and informative, they even teach French which I love. Overall we have been very happy here and sad to leave.

My daughter has attended nursery and preschool and will go to primary school in September. She has loved every day there and made lovely friends. She did miss school when lockdown happened, especially forest school. The staff are excellent in all that they do. They all have a very good connection with
each of the children and are caring and kind.
I would highly recommend Riverston Early years.
Many thanks.

Our little boy has attended Riverston Nursery for 8 months now and we couldn’t be happier with it. The staff are so kind, friendly and attentive and clearly care a lot about the children. Communication with parents is clear and frequent, with daily updates and pictures of the many and varied activities
the children partake in, from baking to playing in the large outdoor forest school.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Riverston and are so pleased we chose it for our son.

Riverston School Nursery is outstanding - the staff are so kind and caring and have a real connection with each of the children and you can see that they truly care about them. Our daughter started when she was nine months old and we are amazed on a daily basis about how she has developed and what she
learns at nursery. The curriculum is structured but adaptable with a real focus on helping the children to develop relationships and navigate softer skills which gives us confidence in the governance and management of the nursery. There is great communication with daily updates and photos on our daughter's day, regular emails from the headmistress and parents evenings to discuss her progress. Our daughter absolutely loves it there and it's hard to get her to leave! It's a really special place and I'm so glad that our daughter has started her education at Riverston - we will be so sad when she has to leave!

Both my daughters went to Riverston School Early Years Department and I cannot be happier with the setting and how both my daughters flourished in their care! When both my daughters started in reception they were both ahead of what was expected as had learnt so much at Riverston! The love and care that
is provided by the staff is amazing and I can’t praise them enough!!
Both my daughters loved their time here and I would highly recommend it to others!

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.132)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.132) out of 10 for Riverston School Nursery & Pre-school 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.944 for Riverston School Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 4.188 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riverston School Nursery & Pre-school is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.588

  • 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.
