We have had a very positive experience with Storkway Nursery so far.
The staff are enthusiastic, hard-working and knowledgeable. They deliver the Early Years curriculum effectively, and it is astonishing how much progress our little boy has made in less than half a year!
There is a caring and supportive
ethos that values all children, prioritising their needs and celebrating their successes. No wonder why our little boy wakes up every morning with a big smile asking to 'play'!
The app offers an insight as to what happens every day at nursery; from learning activities to snacks.
Overall, we feel very fortunate as parents that our son attends this nursery. He is happy, safe and overly excited!
If you are currently looking for a trusted nursery, then look no further!

I would highly recommend Storkway Nursery.
Staff are amazing – kind, caring, full of passion and energy.
They do plenty of learning and fun activities, they’re really creative.
They somehow manage to support the individual child’s needs, and make sure every child is happy, feels secure and comfortable.
They have also been amazing throughout the Covid period, providing extra safety measures which are both kid and parent-friendly.
They use an app logging the child’s progress, activities as well as all the daily info like food, nappies, naps etc. This makes a parent know what’s happening during the day which is really helpful.

My daughter has attended Storkway for just over a year and a half. She loves it! The staff are so welcoming and friendly! My daughter settled almost straight away which is great, the staff are also very approachable with any concerns and are always available to chat. She has learnt so much whilst attending
here and she always comes out with a smile. The Famly app is great as we are able to see what our daughter has been doing/eating etc. Would definitely recommend this nursery!

Storkway Nursery is a warm and welcoming environment for children to play and learn. The staff are lovely and care for each individual child to a high standard. I never worry about leaving my son in their care. He settled in well and easily built good relationships with each staff member. The family
app is a great way for me to check in on his progress and general well-being. I am so happy I found this nursery. I always talk about Storkways to my friends and family because my son enjoys it so much.

I have a very positive experience with Storkway Nursery in Kidbrooke.
My daughters started this nursery in January 2019 and they have settled in very quickly.
The staff and management are extremely helpful and open to discuss any matters or concerns we may have.
The children are doing many different
activities during the day and they are learning a lot.
They also play often outside in the garden.
Overall I am very happy that we have found such a friendly place for our daughters where they enjoy playing and learning and making new friendships.

Storkway is the best nursery I have sent my children to. The staff are friendly and they always make you feel welcomed and always ensure the children are number one priority. Always serve happy, nutritious food and ensure children always have a different activity to do every day.

My daughter is attending Storkway Neighbourhood Nursery for about 6 months now. Although we had difficulties at the start with settling in she absolutely loves nursery now. Staff were very supportive, management provided extra settling days, just to make sure my daughter is happy. My daughter is starting
to talk now and I have noticed she picks up a lot of new words from nursery. Great thing also that you can monitor your child's activities from provided app, so you can see from work when your child is fed, how many times changed or went to sleep.
I highly recommend this nursery.

Storkway Neighbourhood Nursery is a wonderfully welcoming and warm background where children are nurtured. Fun is woven into the environment and children are shown genuine warmth and affection by all of the staff. There is a range of activities set out by the nursery nurses but children are still free
to make choices as to where they play and develop. Storkway comes highly recommended.

Storkway Nursery has been a wonderful and positive environment for our daughter. She started at 11 months young and has gone for 1 year so far and she's learned so much in that time. The Storkway team really make the difference and everyone at Storkway has been fantastic and exactly the kind of folks
you want your child to spend their day with. We are very pleased all around with her care and growth and owe so much to the team for the love and education they provide each day. We especially like the use of the Famly app as we can easily check in on how she's eating, her nap times and even her nappy changes! We also like the regular progress reports that help us see how her development is progressing and understand how we can enhance at home the great work the Storkway team do each day. It's just a great neighbourhood nursery and we are so happy with the care they give.

My son started here when he was 5 months old. As a first time mother, I was worried and didn't know how we will all take it. 2 years and 2 months later, we couldn't be happier. The staff are firm yet lovely and they teach me a thing or two as we go away. Very pleased we picked Storkway Neighbourhood
Nursery.

My eldest son has attended this nursery for approx 3 years. My husband and I have been very pleased overall and my son has been happy and extremely well cared for. I have always been able to talk to all the staff openly and freely.
Whereas I've had some worries about my son's behaviour/development,
I have been able to speak to staff and get feedback and we have worked together. Most importantly, throughout all his time here, I have felt staff have cared about him and I know he is well looked after. My baby how starts in the baby room and I have no worries he will be well cared for. I have also recommended this nursery to friends and it's good for us.

I find Storkway staff very professional and helpful, ensuring all my child's needs were met. The equipment/toys were always set up and presented very well, engaging children to want to play with them! Lunches were varied and staff always encouraged children to eat, giving parents feedback daily on eating/toilet
time/the day in general.

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.
