Our shy and reluctant-to-go-to-nursery son thrived at Playmates, he is subsequently far more confident, social and ready for Big School. The activities are imaginative, cute, sometimes spontaneous, usually local and frequently involve public transport. Children take their own packed lunch however trying
different foods, particularly around festival times, is encouraged, as is going shopping for, and trying, different fruits and vegetables.

My daughter has been attending Playmates for two years. She has always been happy to go to nursery and has grown in confidence, language and attitude. She is one of the kindest characters and is so loving. The staff have taught her so many skills. She is leaving to attend reception at school and is
so prepared. She can write her own name and her maths is excellent. Amazing foundations- thank you.

I am honestly completely grateful for everything Playmates has done for my daughter. She came in when she was 2 years old, we had just arrived from Brazil, the employees were very attentive, they gave us all the support. Neither I nor my daughter spoke English and the manager helped me a lot, the teachers
were very affectionate with her. Today was her last day and we are sad, I will never forget what they did for us.

I honestly can't fault this nursery my son has attended playmates for the last two year and is sadly leaving for reception.
He absolutely enjoys going to nursery each morning, so much so that every weekend he is begging me to take him to school. The staff go above and beyond for the children, they
generally care about each and every one.
My son struggles in some areas and the staff have done their upmost to help him with the areas he struggles with. The staff set up role play areas to encourage him to clean teeth, have his feet measured, hair cut ect and getting all the children involved. He is a fussy eater and terrible at drinking water the staff have worked so hard to push him forward and encouraging him to eat and drink because they generally care. There hasn't been one single day in two years where he has come out of nursery sad, he comes out each and every day a very happy little boy that's had a lovely day that in in itself speaks volumes.

Cannot speak highly enough of the nursery staff, who have looked after all three of our children. Our kids have loved being at Playmates Nursery from day one and have made wonderful friends. The staff care deeply about the children and provide a range of activities each day. The children are always
encouraged to play outside, where there is a well-equipped play area. We are kept up-to-date with what's going on through the excellent app and through regular parents' evenings. Highly recommended!

Playmates Nursery is a very friendly nursery, offering a wonderfully, welcoming environment for my son. He's very excited to go to nursery each morning to have a fun, varied day with lots of outdoor play.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.800) out of 10 for Playmates Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 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 4.854 for Playmates Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.854

  • 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 3.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Playmates Nursery 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 35 number of registered child places is 7. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.571

  • 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.
