My daughter has been attending the Croft since November 2022, she was only 11 months old then. This was the best decision we made as our daughter, who is now in pre-school, is thriving here. The staff is warm and caring, food is freshly prepared by a chef and all the rooms are well managed and clean.
They do many planned and unplanned activities every week and children learn so much in a playful way. They do everything from reading, music, dance, fitness/ yoga, building good self-care and hygiene habits, independent play, sensory activities, building cultural awareness and so much more. My daughter loves going there, loves her teachers, has made so many friends and always comes home with a smile.

My son really enjoyed his experience at Croft Day Nursery - Belvedere and made so many new friends. The staff were very warm and made such an effort to make him feel welcome. He has learnt and developed so much in his time there and I would definitely recommend it.

My daughter has been going to Croft Day Nursery-Belvedere since August 2022 and we’ve been so impressed! The facilities, staff, food, etc have exceeded our expectations. We get reports on what she has eaten each day, how long she’s napped, and the new things she is learning (including pictures). My
daughter (18m) is always thrilled when we drop her off and seems like she’s had a truly full day when we pick her up. We couldn’t be happier with Croft Day Nursery- Belvedere!

My Granddaughter attends The Croft Day Nursery in Belvedere and she loves it! I pick my granddaughter up on a regular basis as well as my eldest grandchild that used to attend the nursery and staff have always been super welcoming and more importantly, the children always look happy and content. Even
though I am not the parent I am always welcomed and communication is fantastic so I can relay all information back to her parents, in regards to my granddaughter's day. And my eldest granddaughter now loves to visit as well and come along with me to see all the staff that used to look after her, as she still talks fondly about the nursery.

The best nursery in the area, as I have visited a few before selecting the Croft Day Nursery. With limited spaces, we had to wait for a while to get a place and we are super delighted for our son to be part of the Croft family. Our son is looked after well and has a lot of fun with friends and staff
that he sometimes does not want to leave the nursery in the evenings.

Our daughter loves going to the Croft Day Nursery, she has been attending for around eighteen months. The staff are all lovely and our daughter speaks very fondly of them (they also provide a good audience for her singing performances!). The activities all seem very fun and educational, we are very
pleased with the progress our daughter has made during her time at the Croft. We are hoping to send our youngest daughter when the time comes.

My daughter loves the nursery and bonded well with the staff. I get regular updates on the activities she has been enjoying. The nursery takes the children on trips and brings exciting opportunities to the children e.g visit from the police, where my daughter got to sit in the police car and wear a
police officer's hat as well as learn all about their role. As you can imagine there was a lot of excitement afterwards. I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

I couldn't be happier with the care, kindness and support the staff at Croft Day Nursery have shown my two boys. The teachers are lovely and engaging, as are the office staff and managers. Sending my two children to Croft Day Nursery is the best early years decision I've made for them. I'm sad my eldest
will leave in September but happy my youngest is staying a part of the Croft family for a few more years yet. It's a wonderful place!

Amazing nursery, I’m so glad we found the Croft Day Nursery! The staff are so caring and affectionate with the little ones - my son adores them all. He started when he was 12-months-old and they supported him through the settling in phase so that he was able to quickly feel at ease and start enjoying
himself. They focus on every child’s learning and development a lot, and the food sounds fantastic too. Communication is great - lots of information about his day at pick-up and via daily and weekly updates on the app.

The best nursery we could ever have hoped for. Our child has not only grown in confidence since attending but has really been made to feel like one of the Croft Day Nursery family.
There are smiles everyday, not only from the children but the staff too, who will always welcome you as if you have been
friends for years. It truly is a perfect setting for any child or parent navigating life as a working parent. Can't recommended the nursery enough!

My daughter attended the nursery in 2018 and 2019 and we were very happy with their approach as she progressed very fast and was ready for school.
We did not look elsewhere when it was time to enrol our son. He started in September 2021 and the progress he made since is incredible. His English was
not very good as we speak different languages at home but just a few months and he is fluent, making friends, learning about all kinds of things around him. The staff are amazing and very patient. They helped us with potty training. Although he is not very keen eating fruits and vegetables at home, he will eat them in nursery as the food must be really nice as my daughter asks if she can have some when we are picking him up.

My daughter has attended Croft Day Nursery - Belvedere for nearly two years and I really can’t fault them, what a lovely nursery. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are so friendly and go above and beyond for you. It really is such a happy environment. All the staff in the nursery know all the children’s
names in every class and make it so welcoming for them. My daughter has achieved all her milestones, if not more and myself and my daughter will be so sad to leave in September to go to infants! If you want an outstanding nursery, the Croft is the one.
Thank you to the staff - you are amazing and made our time at the Croft amazing.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.698) out of 10 for Croft Day Nursery - Belvedere 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.978 for Croft Day Nursery - Belvedere is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.978

  • 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 3.72 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Croft Day Nursery - Belvedere is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.345

  • 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.
