My son has been at Poppits since he was 7 months (started Feb12). He will be leaving in September to go to School and will miss Poppits immensely. He always looks forward to Mondays when he can go back to see his friends and the 'adults' staff as he calls them.
As an anxious mother, I was re-assured
by Brenda and her team in the early days of settling my son in his new environment. Although the nursery is not the largest in the area, it is well set-up and the team always make sure the activities are best suited to the different age groups, whilst also allowing them all to mingle and learn from each other, respecting babies when they are older - and learning from the big toddlers/pre-schoolers when they are little. I have visited all the local nurseries before choosing Poppits and the main reason was how happy all the kids are. You rarely hear any cries there and it is always a mission to try and get him to come home as he has such a good time he doesn't want his days to end.
The team are all really good with the kids and the pre-school teachers have been developing maths and writing skills to a really good level (when the kids are ready - taking into consideration their learning abilities/willingness) - always in a fun way, but with a nice structure as well, so prepare them for school.
The garden, although not within direct access, is well laid out and there are lots of toys and activities for the kids to play with.
The added bonus is the access to bouncy castle twice a week which my son LOVES and which really is a great perk - as well as the French lessons on a Wednesday.
I have a baby daughter whom I will actually travel 12 miles into Putney to drop off as I love the nursery and want her to have the same wonderful experience as my son.
I would really recommend Poppits and the team there. Everyone is lovely and I can't thank them enough for all the dedication they have shown my son in the past 4 years. He will truly miss everyone there hugely!

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.064)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.064) out of 10 for Poppits 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 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 4.850 for Poppits Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.85

  • 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 4.214 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Poppits Day Nursery is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 35 number of registered child places is 7. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.714

  • 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.
