My son has been with Storkway since the age of one, and he will turn four later this year.
Before choosing Storkway, we were like many first-time parents, looking at ratings and reviews online, but when we visited Storkway physically, we were impressed with the overall environment. Unlike some nurseries,
which converted from houses, Storkway has a proper nursery setting, a nice one-floor centre with a nice backyard for children to go out and play if weather permits.
In terms of staff, my wife and I are very happy with them. Most importantly, our son feels the same. He is now a confident little boy, and I believe this is one of the contributing factors. After all, he spends more time in the nursery than with us (we are full-time working parents).
If one is looking for a nursery, I would strongly recommend one to pay them a visit.

We are very pleased with the care our daughter has received at Storkway. The staff are friendly, and our daughter is happy to see them each morning. When I pick her up in the afternoon, she is happily playing. She eats lots of healthy food here too. The app helps with communication, so I can see how
much she’s eaten and slept. Would recommend this nursery.

My little boy started at the nursery so shy and with less words. But he's now started to slowly come out of his comfort zone. His key person tries to update me via the app or when I speak to them about how his day has been. I get updates about his snack and meal times at school and am surprised he actually
eats some of the food given. Overall, the nursery staff do what they can to make sure he's happy, safe and learning.

My son is four years old and has been with Storkway since he was a year old in the baby room. We can say Storkway is his 2nd home; he loves the staff and looks forward to going to the nursery every morning. He has many friends and developed many skills. They do a variety of learning activities as well
as the outdoor area is great for playtime. I'd definitely recommend it.

We are very happy with the nursery, and our son loves it there, which is, of course, the most important! The staff are all lovely and very helpful to make him feel at home! The food is great; he usually eats it all there and gets lots of varieties and different food he refuses at home! Communication
via the app is very easy, and always quick responses. We are very pleased we found this nursery and will be sending our second son there as well and have recommended it to other friends that will be sending their babies there too!

Staff are very helpful to children. They all see the children as their own. I am very happy to send my child to nursery. The most important thing is my son really enjoys being in the nursery. Thank you so much for your efforts with our child.

Lovely team of staff who are genuinely involved and happy to take care of our kids. Always updated on the progress of my child and love the fact we can see what they’ve eaten/not eaten throughout the day. The app is amazing! Very happy with the level of care provided.

Amazing nursery, our daughter is really happy! The staff are wonderful, very engaged, energetic and positive. They are creative and come up with so many different ways to help the children learn and grow. The physical space is very good and well set up, and there is a nice outside space which is perfect
for children to play.

I am always made to feel welcome on the occasions that I go to take or collect my granddaughter. The staff are always willing to help and also let me know how my granddaughter is doing and if there is a problem, willing to discuss and help, if necessary.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Storkway so far. Our daughter is 14 months, and she clearly loves it there. The staff are always so friendly, and she goes straight into their arms in the morning. We get sent pictures and updates of how she’s doing and find the app with daily updates extremely
helpful. We would definitely recommend Storkway!

Overall great experience.
Both of our boys went to this nursery. The staff were always very helpful and attentive. We had comprehensive feedback from key persons and professional advice on how to manage the next steps.
Our boys never had any issue attending nursery, instead, they were always happy
to go there and spend the day with their friends and members of the staff.

It's a great nursery, really nice and professional staff. My daughter is super happy there they play and learn a lot. She made a lot of friends. She does a lot of activities every day. They read they sing, they play, and they create.
The garden is really nice and big, with a lot of entertainment and
toys.
I highly recommended it!

Storkway Nursery is a friendly safe environment for your children to develop and learn new skill sets as they grow. The staff are incredibly helpful and adaptable to individual's family needs, and children's requirements. My child thoroughly enjoys her days there. And I would highly recommend their
facilities to anyone.

Very friendly staff and my son always goes inside without crying, so I can say he likes it there. They use an app, which is always updated, so I find it easy to check if my son is eating well etc. They are also very quick to respond to any query, and the staff are always happy and smiley, which is good
cause they transmit this to the children.

My daughter started nursery when she was 10 months, and she loved it from the beginning. The staff are absolutely amazing; they are so energetic, knowledgeable and caring. I've had a beautiful experience with settling her and all my questions were answered (I was a nervous wreck!). Fast forward 5 months,
and she is still loving it there.
I am very grateful to the nursery staff because I know that every day my daughter has so much fun, learns something new and is in safe hands - giving me peace of mind.

My twins have been at Storkway for a while now, and they really like it and have come a long way in themselves. Staff are really nice and easy to talk to. Really made them feel welcome, and I feel they care for them as if they were their own! Great communication, and I find the app really helpful with
keeping up to date with what they are doing. Highly recommend this nursery, and I'm sure my boys will be sad when they have to move on!

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff, my (7-month-old) daughter has settled quickly and loves going to the nursery every day.
I receive updates throughout the day about her eating, sleeping and activities in the very good app.
I'm really happy and feel great knowing that my daughter is being well
cared for and learning lots of new things.

It’s great. The nursery staff are great. My son loves going, he is so happy to go in and looks happy when I pick him up.
The only downside is that they don’t give the 15 hours entitlement all-day options, only half-day, which I think is unfair. I wish they would offer all-day options. If you don’t
pay, I feel like that discriminating cause I am a stay a home mum because that is what my son needs, and I send him because he needs to be there, but I can’t have a full day slot. But other than that complaint, the nursery is an amazing place to send your child.

Great staff, caring, funny, good listeners. Clean nursery, clean changing areas. There are always different activities organised for the children. Covid-19 was handled really well by staff. My child has always been happy and always looked forward to going back the next day. Keep up the hard work, and
thank you for everything you have done for my child.

Our daughter has been at Storkway for 5-months since she was a year old and we're so pleased with the experience both for her and us. She was very scared of any new people and surroundings having spent most of her life in lockdown with only us, but the staff were patient and confident which really helped
the settling in process. It wasn't long before she no longer cried when dropping off and now is happy to walk in each day and enjoys so many different activities. Her eating has also improved which is another big relief knowing she is having a balanced and varied diet. Having an app to see updates from food to sleeping to development observations is also amazing, we can't imagine being without it. I also find the cost very reasonable and finally I was able to safely visit and meet staff before enrolling which many nurseries were not doing during the lockdown and I couldn't imagine sending a child to a nursery where I couldn't meet staff in person so I'm glad they were able to do this.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.805)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.805) out of 10 for Storkway Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.805 for Storkway Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.805

  • 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 Storkway Nursery is based on 13 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 13 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.
