It was a great experience for my little one. She loved the teachers and they were very friendly and professional. It was a good journey for my little one before going to school as she learned a lot from this nursery. I highly recommend this nursery as they have a good setup and take good care of kids.

What I found is, this kindergarten gave me, as a parent, a sense of peace when I leave my child, who is only 2 years and 5 months old. Even if the separation was more difficult, and because of me as a parent I take it every day, but the child is smiling, happy. Only words of praise I can say about this
kindergarten, created for children and all the staff are wonderful!!!

The staff are really good prepared, they are doing a lot of activities with children every week and are sharing pictures in the app. They provide a safe and warm place for children which is reassuring for parents. They are supporting children with SEN very well and are working hard to get ready a EHCP
in time for school. They have a really nice garden where children can burn their energy, a nice sensory room. Great nursery!

Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time at the nursery over the past two years. We've clearly seen her improvement throughout the last year, and it's been amazing to watch her grow. The teachers are well trained, friendly, and provide a nurturing environment that has helped our daughter thrive.
We're very pleased with her progress and the care she has received. I highly recommend this nursery to families in the local area!

My son was happy from the first day he attended the nursery. The staff are friendly and supportive. I could contact them for any query and get advice and explanation straight away. They do lots of activities every week. The communication is excellent, and the parents are aware of what their children
do during the day.

My daughter learn a lot. All nursery staff are encouraging her a lot. They have a good learning environment and different activities. Every week they introduce lots of activities. They take too much care of each child personally I feel a lot. They take care of my daughter's language skill development.
When she really needs support when she goes to the toilet, lunchtime and ready to go home they will help. My child doesn't feel uncomfortable when she go to nursery. She is so happy and enjoys it.

It's quite a good nursery and I am quite happy with the development of my child. He learnt quite a lot, became quite independent. All the staff members are really good and helpful and my child's key caretaker is superb. I also like the fact that they identify the interest of the child and use it to
foster learning. The staff is quite committed to the development of the children and overall, I am a happy parent.

I am very happy with my child coming to this nursery we have seen him grow and he seems happy here, which is the main thing for us. All the staff are very caring and friendly.
The staff and environment all are positive which gives us parents satisfaction and assurance that our child is in safe hands.
The
only thing I would like to mention is that the outside play area especially the brick wall should be guarded with something so if a child trips or falls they don't get hurt badly. Even the grass area should be clear of all hazards, as kids do run and can get hurt.
Otherwise all else is excellent and we are very happy with all the staff at Christchurch Kindergarten Harrow.
Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.161)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.161) out of 10 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Harrow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 4.967 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Harrow is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.967

  • 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 4.194 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Harrow 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.694

  • 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.
