My child studied in this nursery school for two years. He has made nice friends and teachers. My son learned from this nursery - a lot of good things and a lot of activities. It is a safe, clean and spacious nursery with many games in which the child finds fun. Thanks to all the staff.

Reply from Angela O'Connell Coyne, Manager at Sparklers Nursery

The place is amazing! The staff are extremely friendly and professional. My son looks forward to going there every day. Also, for the parents whose kids are new to daycare/school, you need not worry, for your kids will be safe and secure there. Kids who may be apprehensive at first will quickly adjust,
as the staff will lovingly reassure them every day.
It's a relief to me as a mother to know that when I drop him off every morning - he will be well taken care of.
He learned a lot of new things, and even if he didn't understand proper English, the nursery staff had a lot of patience.
A very well done for all your hard work - and maybe sometimes we are in a rush to pick them up and not all the time showing how grateful we are for caring, but we definitely know how difficult it is for all of you.
A high-level place of professional work is there where the management and staff work together.
Thank you for looking after him day by day.

When my child started to attend Sparklers Nursery just over a year ago, he was very shy, and his speech was not great. Since he has been at this nursery, he has grown in confidence and is talking so much now. The staff at the nursery who have been working with my son are very polite and patient with
him. They keep me updated on his progress at all times and work with my son very well on various issues that he has. I would recommend this nursery.

My daughter started at Sparklers when she was three years old. She couldn't speak English, just her mother tongue. Within a few months, she started speaking English. The staff is always friendly and caring, and they have always been very flexible with my and her needs. Now her baby sister, who is only
a year old, will be joining the nursery too.

Reply from Angela O'Connell Coyne, Manager at Sparklers Nursery

Thank you for your kind words; the staff love reading all the lovely reviews. They love looking after the care and development of the children in their care.

My daughter started at this nursery in January 2022. She has settled in really well with the staff and children. The activities are well thought out, and my daughter comes home very happy!

I would not say this review requests a particular day or experience, but rather it is an experience as a whole since our child started Sparkles in September 2021. He has achieved and progressed a lot in all fields, but mainly communicating in English, which is not our first language. Also, the nursery
staff seem to look after the particular needs of each child and engage parents to develop their children's individual curriculum. Our child enjoys going to nursery, and we are quite happy with his progress.

Reply from Angela O'Connell Coyne, Manager at Sparklers Nursery

Thank you for your lovely words. We care very much for the children in our care so that they have lovely, exciting experiences every day, and learn through play.

The nursery staff are very friendly and professional. My daughters settled there without any problems and look forward to go there every time. Nursery has so many different activities and fun days to enjoy on a regular basis. We had a few times needed to "swap" attendance days over and approached the
Manager and she was able to do it without any problems, so instead of "loosing" a day we just had different one instead and I can tell it's not common at all, I don't know any of my friends who could do that, but I know many of them were approaching their nurseries and their request was declined. So I could say Sparklers nursery is one of a kind who really puts effort in meeting parents and kids needs 100%!!! Would highly recommend it, they are doing great job!!!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Sparklers Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.797 for Sparklers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (414 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 488 Ratings = 4.797

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sparklers Nursery is based on 39 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 39 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.
