My daughter went to Rubadubs from 18 months to 3.5 years old. She started off on the ground floor, before moving upstairs to transition to preschool. She attended 2-3 days a week over this period. Having visited over 6 nurseries in Forest Hill and Honor Oak, Rubadubs felt like a lovely nursery. It had
a great atmosphere inside and the rooms were well maintained. I liked the garden and that all the children had outdoor time every day. My daughter thrived at Rubadubs and that is down to the staff who really care and love the children.
Other positives:
1) As a parent being allowed to enter the nursery and see our daughter interacting with her friends/teachers.
3) Excellent forest school and dancing/singing lessons.
4) Good management, and organised with regard to billing.
Negatives:
We felt that our daughter had outgrown the garden, at the age of 3.5/4 it started to feel like a small space. More external outings for preschool children would be good.

Reply from Hortense MacGillivray, Director at Rubadubs Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review about our nursery. We are so pleased your daughter and family enjoyed your time with us. We pride ourselves on our nurturing environment and for our children to become young, independent people when they leave us to go to school, which like you say is down to the staff in the rooms. We will take on board your comment regarding outings and strive to get more put in place going forward.

My daughter went to Rubadubs from age of one to two and a half She absolutely loved the place. The staff are so nice and friendly and they do seem to really care about the children. We were kept informed through the app of our child's development and numerous activities but they were also happy to chat
with us at drop off and collection. A very warm and nourishing environment. Having now moved to a new area, we miss Rubaduds and their team. The only point for improvement is that the food menu could have been more varied perhaps but they were very good at taking care of allergy needs.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are working on our menus and have introduced some new dishes. We have a 4-week rolling menu and change it every 3 months.

My son is attending Rubadubs for a year now. I am very happy and he is too. The key person in charge of him is great, we love her. The staff itself is really good with the kids and proactive on decisions. Kids are happy and smiling. I highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 7.6 (7.583)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.6 (7.583) out of 10 for Rubadubs Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.500 for Rubadubs Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (7 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.5

  • 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 3.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rubadubs Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.083

  • 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.
