My son is so happy at the nursery. He is always smiling and cared for so wonderfully.
The staff are loving, kind and professional.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone with young children, it's a lovely place to grow up.
Thank you for all your hard work, in the baby room particularly.

My son has been going to Excel for just over two years now and is generally happy there.
The staff are always very friendly and I feel confident that he is safe.
The children are given varied and balanced meals with special menus for Christmas and Eid.
The children learn about different cultures
through activities relating to various festivals across the year, which contributes towards an inclusive and respectful setting.
Staff make the effort to take the preschool children into the garden every day, weather permitting. They play games, have story time and set up sensory, baking, letter and number activities.
In the past there have been phases where communication was patchy and keyworkers changed without us knowing, but there has been a steady improvement.
Space does feel a bit limited, but management have done their best to organise it in a way that provides transitions throughout the day and spaces for different activities.

My son has been at Excel Kids Day Nursery since nine months, he is now turning three years old and is getting ready for preschool. He has truly blossomed during his time at the nursery! Everything from his social skills to his vocabulary have come faster than I imagined. The staff are welcoming to both
parents and children and it is easy to address any questions about my son's day to day learning. He is always looking forward to go to nursery and we look forward to seeing how he grows in the next year.

The staff understood the needs of my son. He is sometimes a fussy eater and they managed to make mealtimes fun and encouraged him to eat healthy foods. We didn't attend the nursery for long as we moved area, which was a shame as he made some friends and he was always happy when I collected him. He would
keep repeating new words or numbers he had learnt. The staff are friendly and seemed kind and caring, which is important for me, and I felt confident leaving him there.

We've only been with the nursery a short time, but so far we're very pleased. It's well organised, there is good communication from staff and, most of all, our son seems very happy there. The staff are very patient with our son and they take time to make sure he's making progress and happy.

I have been impressed with the level of care for my child at excel nursery. The staff are exceptionally caring and supportive to the children and my son is extremely well looked after. They communicate with parents effectively and I know what he has done in terms of activities each day through the app,
but I also get more specific feedback on pickup. His key worker is excellent and has given my husband and I tips on how to support behaviour and regulation at home. We have a term-to-parent meeting which is useful. My son is very very happy to attend nursery and doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. The nursery’s safeguarding procedures are excellent, including dismissal/pick-up procedures and also injury/accident reporting. I have met with the manager and have been impressed with the clarity of communication in and after this meeting. Changes were implemented straight away following the last Ofsted and I feel there has been an obvious impact and improvement in provision.

The nursery and the staff has been great overall. After some issues encountered from the previous nursery, I was worried to enroll our daughter into another nursery again but after almost 2 months, Excel Kids Day Nursery gave us the confidence that our daughter is well taken care of and gained our trust
again.

We like the Nursery very much! All members of staff and management are great! Our child attends the Nursery for over a year and a half now. They all go above and beyond, and our child feels happy there. He has a minor speech delay and since he moved to the Toddler's room we cannot express our gratitude
to the key workers for the progress he made. He goes and comes home with a smile and shares new words he learnt. I have progress meetings regularly, pictures of everyday activities and detailed information on how his day was. Children are paired with key workers they go along. Parent's view is taken into account and every step is discussed prior to implementation. We feel the members of staff as an extended family and work together for the best of our child.

Overall my child is happy and cared for and I completely trust she is in safe hands. They do lots of fun games and activities that lend themselves to good development.
Verbal modelling isn't exemplary and often our child comes home with incorrect pronunciations which is worrying. And general communication
with parents sometimes feels vague, especially on the amount of key workers my child has had, which often changes without us knowing.
There is also an at the door collection policy which I appreciate is a hangover from COVID but in years of them being there I have been inside 2 or 3 times, so feels like a bit of mystery as to what's going on.

Reply from Latifa Siziba, Director at Excel Kids Day Nursery Leytonstone

We have now developed verbal modelling through our Nature and Thrive training for all staff and currently have government funding through the DFE who we have signed up with to support our children's learning. We use the development matters modelling of developing our children's learning experience. We appreciate this feedback which will assist with supporting staff to be more aware of the communication and language experiences for our children.
We are a small setting and have found that the children are a lot calmer going home when parents arrive. Previously, parents used to arrive at the same time to collect their children which made the nursery very crowded and extremely noisy at the end of each day. Children rightly so are very excited to see their parents/carers at the end of each day. We have kept this process in place which has provided a calmer handover experience. We are happy to welcome parents into our setting at any time if they would like to come in.

My son has been attending for more than 2 years. The first thing I found was that the staff treat my son like family. I feel confident leaving him in their hands as they seem to love and care for my son like their own. My son loves the staff and other kids.

This is a wonderful nursery. My children have been attending the nursery now for over a year and they have always been happy. The staff are great, so kind and thoughtful. Parents’ concerns are listened to and acted upon. They are happy to treat the children as individuals and are as adaptable as possible
to different schedules that a child may have. The activities and trips out are very engaging and my children are coming home excited and learning so much. I’ve been so pleased with the nursery and the staff and feel very pleased when I send my children in and they happily wave back to me and walk in. Well done to all the staff who make it so special.

This is our 6th year of relationship with this nursery. Our 1st child graduated 2 years ago and our 2nd one has been attending for almost 3 years. Kids are very happy there and treated fair. There are lots of activities every day and I get an app where I can see what they were doing that day and see
photos. Teachers know children well and they give them lots of love. Even during the lockdown the nursery organised calls to keep relationships between children and their teachers. We do recommend it, the staff and management are amazing!

My daughter started going to Excel in Aug 2020. Despite being part-time i.e. 2 days a week (22hrs), she is well supported by the staff and activities to make her feel a part of the full-time group. She is a fussy eater but the staff always take time to encourage and help her try new food items. She
often gets upset at the start of her nursery days but the staff calm her down tactically within a few minutes. The best thing about Excel is the app, where the daily routine of the child and overall learning journey is shared regularly with parents. I am glad I chose Excel for my child and I would highly recommend it to other local parents.

Excel is a very caring and engaging setting. I have seen my baby grow and flourish amongst loving practitioners. I have been impressed by her early learning, from speaking, counting, and simply socialising positively with others. Potty training has been really well handled and all practitioners are
very encouraging and supportive when it comes to the learning milestones ahead.

Excel Kids Day Nursery is a truly wonderful nursery. Both of my children attended and attend this setting, and I could not be happier. My son comes home happy and content and has a massive smile on his face when I drop him off in the morning, which means the absolute world when leaving your child somewhere
for 10 hours a day. The staff are so attentive and genuine in their investment in the children - so caring and loving. The app is great and provides all the updates you would need. I am very happy with this nursery and would highly recommend the setting to any parent.

My daughter really struggled with talking and socialising with other kids when she first started, but the nursery helped her so much, and I couldn't thank them enough. I'm very sad to see my daughter leaving, but so happy she got to meet the most amazing staff and build relationships. I highly recommend

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.513)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.513) out of 10 for Excel Kids Day Nursery Leytonstone is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.613 for Excel Kids Day Nursery Leytonstone is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.613

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Excel Kids Day Nursery Leytonstone is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 9 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.
