My daughter started at Platform One Nursery in March 2024 shortly after her first birthday. She settled in really quickly due to the loving, nurturing and stimulating environment provided by the wonderful staff. The nursery has a home-from-home feel to it with an excellent array of toys and activities
for the children to do. The staff are constantly engaging with the babies and toddlers and so I know she is never left to her own devices nor would she ever be bored or not stimulated. My daughter has a lovely bond with the staff in the baby room and is visibly excited when it's time to go to nursery. A lovely nursery with excellent and extremely caring staff.

Daughter started in February 2024. Staff have been most welcoming and helpful in her settling in. Always returns home happy and smiling. Wonderful outdoor facilities. Keeps parents informed of events/syllabus for the month; covering lots of important dates with plenty of crafts and activities. Husband
and I are most pleased with Platform One Nursery and would highly recommend.

I highly recommend Platform One as a nursery. Their onboarding process is seamless, the best I have seen, not only in a nursery but in any childcare service that I have experienced. Their onboarding form is well thought through, allowing for questions that you may not have even considered to be addressed.
Settling sessions are used to run through any dietary, health issues etc. with speedy turnarounds to accommodate the child's needs.
I knew right away after interacting with both management that my son would be in good hands. Their wealth of experience meant my child would receive the best quality care. The nursery is also very clean, and organised and has a joyful atmosphere.
It's been almost 3 months since my son joined and he is very happy.
Overall, I think a great nursery is one that is organised, has outstanding staff retention, great communication skills and works closely with parents to support a child's development and needs and Platform One possesses all these traits.

Amazing experience at Platform One Nursery. Staff are very caring and loving to the children, making it like a family away from home. My little one settled in really well as a result and has formed really strong relationships, not just with his key worker but with all staff. I especially love that all
staff have been at the nursery for a long time and therefore build great relationships with the children rather than rely on the agency staff like the other nurseries we have used locally. Would massively recommend it. Thank you Platform One!

Platform One is a gem of a nursery. The staff are so caring and friendly and take a genuine interest in the children. My two girls have always come home smiling, most days bringing home some artwork with them. The routine provides a really stable environment, the children are encouraged to be polite
to staff and their peers, and they are certainly ready for school when it comes.

Platform One is a brilliant nursery. Both of my daughters have attended (my eldest, four, has just left for school, while my one-year-old is still there). The team, led by the managers are fantastic, and the children all adore them. The environment is nurturing and supportive, and they encourage the
children to be inquisitive about their learning and the way in which they explore the world around them.
I can't recommend the nursery enough to any prospective parents, and I am so grateful to all of the staff for looking after my girls so well and giving them such a brilliant start in life.

I highly recommend Platform One Nursery. The staff have been above and beyond in making our daughter’s time at the nursery extremely happy. I was very impressed by the settling process, and communication from the nursery when our daughter was starting her journey with Platform One. I am always fully
informed of her day-to-day progress, meals, activities and outside play.


The staff are long-standing members of the nursery, several have been at the nursery for over 15 years. They are incredible and obviously love their career with passion and dedication to the children. The outside play area is lovely with lots of different toys, a vegetable garden, a wooded play area and much more. My daughter especially enjoys the mud kitchen.


I could not be happier with the care and communication they always provide.

Excellent experience. The staff were excellent from the very start of our son's journey. They always have developmental activities for the children and specific learning goals for each individual. There is regular contact with the parents through a mobile application as well as a daily update. My son
has developed very quickly and is always so excited to go to nursery. I am so glad we decided to send him here.

Platform One Nursery Ltd is a lovely nursery, my eldest daughter has attended since she was 1 (now 3) and my youngest started in February. The staff in both the baby and toddler room are brilliant and both girls settled really well and enjoy their time at nursery, which I think has a lot to do with
the support and care of the staff. We are kept really well informed about what the children have been up to, in particular via their reports, which are so detailed and thoughtful. I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to others!

Our daughter attended the nursery for one year and she absolutely loved it. The staff were a massive support when she started and we always felt she was happy and safe when she was there. When she left, her little brother started in the baby room and he also had a great start. He is very happy. The
staff always provides a lot of information on the activities the children are engaged in and the reports they provide are very detailed. The staff are absolutely incredible and so caring. They are always polite and so positive. The nursery is super friendly and clean and even though it is not very big, it is very organised and they use all the space efficiently. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough!

Platform One is a wonderful nursery to send your little one to. My daughter has been there for 14-months now, and we love all aspects of it. The baby room is such a lovely place to start nursery life, with two brilliant staff members who are overly caring and loving and genuinely interested in all parts
of the children's wellbeing. My daughter has recently moved into the toddler room, and it's equally a great place to have fun - a different environment (vs maximum six children in the baby room) but great exposure for little ones to develop. My daughter has a couple of allergies and dietary requirements, and the team have adapted the menus for her accordingly and changed the menu to accommodate our requests for a balanced diet. I couldn't rate Platform One more highly, would strongly recommend to all.

My son went to this nursery full time from the age of 11 months until he started school this year. My daughter is 2 years old and has been attending full time from 10 months of age. All members of staff are genuinely kind and caring towards the children and ensure that children are made to feel safe
and secure in a homely environment. Children are given nutritious meals every day which includes a hot meal at tea time as well as lunchtime. Parents are kept well informed of their child's developments and daily sheets are handed to provide useful information e.g. how long a child has napped for, how much they ate, and a brief description of the activities they undertook. Emphasis is placed on teaching the children to be polite and caring towards others, encouraging them to be curious about the world. My son has benefitted enormously from this nursery and having spent 4 years at Platform One, he has thrived and settled easily into school life - all of this is down to Platform One!

Platform One Nursery Ltd is a great environment for preschool children and babies. Both my sons attend Platform One Nursery Ltd and absolutely love their nursery. They often don't want to go home which is a testament to the staff that work there. They are very well cared for and have developed so much
since they started. I would definitely recommend Platform One Nursery Ltd to friends and family looking for a nursery.

Platform One is a nurturing, homely and friendly nursery. The staff are thorough and supportive of the children. My children enjoy attending and have developed strong trusting relationships with the staff.
The days seem well organised and structured, however, I would like to have seen a stronger focus
on learning and milestones set for children depending on their capabilities, due to the small setting and focus on play children may outgrow it fairly quickly.

We highly recommend this nurturing, friendly and very welcoming nursery. My son has been going to Platform 1 for 2.5 years - from the age of 6 months - and has been looked after so well by the girls in the baby room and now the nursery room. He loves going in! All of the staff genuinely love the kids
and make sure they have lots of interesting activities every day. We love receiving the Tapestry emails so we can see the pictures and videos from his days. The food is all freshly cooked on site and is varied, nutritious and encourages him to eat a varied diet. There is a very well-stocked and safe outside play area that is used as much as possible. He’s made some lovely friends, too. It’s great knowing your child is somewhere so lovely when you have to work.

The manager and her team have made the transition for my little ones first time in nursery, and my return to work, a great experience, and for that, I am very grateful. The nursery is like home from home and is always kept clean and tidy, with lots of bright visual displays and suitable toys for her
to play with. You can see that her keyworkers really compliment each other and work very well together. They constantly keep my little one entertained with different educational activities throughout the day and keep me updated with what she has been up to. Overall we are both happy with our experience of the nursery so far. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.676)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.676) out of 10 for Platform One Nursery Ltd 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.976 for Platform One Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Platform One Nursery Ltd is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 7 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.
