Extremely happy with the care and education provided by the nursery staff. Regular updates of child's education and progress are reported frequently. Staff are very pleasant and responsive. Any concerns when mentioned were taken on board by them. They are firm when necessary, that shows that they are
caring and mindful. The environment is brilliant for a child to learn and enjoy.

My daughter has settled so well since September 2018. The staff are very engaging and attentive to the needs of my girl and she has developed exceptionally well.
As a nursery manager myself, it is clear to see how hard this nursery manager works to ensure not only the children but the staff are happy
in a well organised and homely environment.
Go Christchurch!

Our daughter has been going to this nursery for three months. She is 1.5 years old and since day one she settled. The manager is so friendly and loving towards children. I also like the fact there is one big space for all the children so there is good visibility. They also have an app where you receive
updates of what your child is doing, which we found lovely. We can see how there is an effort to maintain high standards. Overall, it is a friendly and loving place for children.

Supporting and helpful staff and they are very approachable. A wide range of learning and activities area for children. When my daughter came home, I can notice that each day she is learning something new but a little bit more focus is needed on writing. Otherwise, I am overall happy.

In my view, I think this is a very good nursery in our own town. When I put my son here I don't have to worry about him. He adjusted very quickly because all the teachers are very good.

Our daughter had a great time here and experience then we decided to put our so her and we are so happy with this nursery not had a bad experience. Our son has many allergies and it was hard to trust any nursery so we chose Kindergarten@ Harrow because they take our sons illness very seriously and the
manager was always very helpful.
Thank you, Kindergarten Harrow, so much.

Christchurch Nursery in Harrow is very safe and a happy place where my daughter spends three days a week. She learnt so much in such a short time. Now she is very confident comparing when she started. I would really advise any parent to place their kid with real peace of mind.

All staff are extremely approachable and the care they give is excellent. The management is very professional and is very positive about their children. My grandchild went to the nursery since she was a baby. She has turned into a very confident little girl and comes home with lots of words which
surprises me each day this shows that lots of playing and learning go on. Very positive environment.

There's always going to be pro's and con's. If weighed out there are more positives to express. In short it's a friendly environment, parent (single parent) would feel at ease not worried about the child at all once dropped off at the nursery. Just recently with a little bit prompting pointing out to
the key workers (staff) action was taken straight away to help with the child enhancing/broaden his vocabulary and reading skills. Very impressive! Teachers are approachable and work together with the parent to give our children the best. It's important I've had the pleasure of having such experience and hope it continues. Excellent very happy and grateful.

I felt so relieved when I found this nursery as it was quite stressful to find a good one. My daughter was happy from the very first day. Every day I see how much she learns and grows to a smart kid. The nursery provides great activities, fun games, friendly staff and warm environment. It also celebrates
lots of important dates, so my daughter looks so excited every time she hears about the celebration at the nursery. I strongly recommend this nursery.

My daughter started school from January and within 3-4 months she started speaking in English a lot. We are from India and she used to be in nursery school there, so she was already good in counting, spelling and writing numbers and alphabet. The speaking ability improved a lot after coming here. Considering
her age (4.5) would like to have some expertise on "writing" to improve the skill. Overall a nice experience and all positive outcomes.

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.
