My 2 year old daughter has been attending the Croft Day Nursery for nearly a year now. I have been extremely impressed with the staff and management of the Nursery. From my initial contact of enquiry through to today, there has always been a professional and friendly attitude from all members of staff.
Daily activities are fun, varied and planned to encourage growth and development of various skill sets. The learning environments are clean, spacious and full of fun stuff. The class never feels overcrowded and staff members seem to know each child - regardless of whether they work with them during the day. My daughter has truly come out of her shell she since attending the Croft and loves her time there. There is always a welcoming atmosphere at the nursery and I have only ever encountered happy and content children (and parents). I have no hesitation in recommending the Croft Day Nursery to anybody searching for a professional, well organised and enjoyable child care provider.

The Croft is a fantastic nursery, my son has a health condition and they support him so well and are willing to be flexible and understanding to his needs. I attend regular Parents evenings and get weekly emails on his progress and what he's been up to that week with pictures. They are also supportive
with potty training of my son and he always comes home talking about what he's learnt that day, and singing new songs. They've recently started giving him homework to prepare him for school, it'll be a sad day when he has to leave, I can only hope the school he goes to is just as good as Croft. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, if I could change one thing it would be that they stayed open half an hour later, to give me more time to pick him up. But I understand the staff work extremely hard and very long days, take your child to Croft, you won't be disappointed.

My Son started this nursery after I returned to work. I was nervous, anxious and extremely scared of how he would settle in. To my amazement he LOVED it!! The staff were amazing, helpful and always had a friendly face to welcome my son! I got weekly reports with pictures of what they did and regular
parent evening to discuss progress and targets. My son has now left the nursery and we now have our daughter attending and again she LOVES it! I can not commend on how friendly and supportive the staff are. The centre manager is lovely and all workers at the nursery clearly have a passion for early years education.

The Croft is by far one of the best nursery's. I would highly recommend it, it is a warm caring nurturing environment and every child matters. Children's needs are met and all developmental milestones. I have been using the Croft for 14 yrs with 3 different children with no complaints, I cannot recommend
this nursery highly enough wish I was a kid again so I could go too.

My son has been here since April 2013. He enjoys himself so much there I come to pick him up and some times it takes a bit of time getting him out nursery because he wants to say bye to everyone. Since he has been there he has learnt so much. The staff are excellent and so hard work. When my son was
potty training he didn't really want to do it but instead of them turning round and saying no. They persevered with him and all together we got him through it. The facilities in garden are amazing they have recently done the whole nursery up and it looks amazing. In the summer they will get the paddling pool out if it is hot enough and they let the kids go in it. Also they take the children out for walks etc to the woods park to do certain tasks. My son loves this.


This nursery overall has everything you need. Excellent staff excellent management great facilities and great communication.

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.
