Our daughter is very sensitive and she struggled a lot in her previous setting so we were naturally nervous when she started at Play 2 Learn. She loves it here! She was completely settled in after a few days. I don’t even look at the app anymore during the day, because I know she is safe and happy and
getting lots of cuddles. All the staff are so friendly and easy to talk to, especially one staff member in particular. They have also been very accommodating with all our requests. I can’t recommend them enough!

My son has absolutely loved his time at Play 2 Learn. The team are fantastic and they take the time to get to know you as a family, make you feel welcome and answer any and all questions you have! Feedback at collection times is thorough and never rushed, they are happy to talk to you and even invite
you in for a coffee if you need any advice (for me, it was potty training tips). They organise parent events where the manager talks in depth about the curriculum and what we can do as parents to support our child's learning at home. They offer lots of activities including Spanish classes. We receive lots of useful updates over the app. Thank you Play 2 Learn for taking such great care of my child.

We have had a brilliant experience at this nursery. We needed to move quickly from our previous setting and since then, nothing has been too much trouble for them. We have felt supported and the difference in my little boy is amazing. The facilities are great and all staff members are helpful and engaging.

When we found Play 2 Learn, we were delighted. The nursery is honestly amazing. After viewing five nurseries, we fell in love with Play 2 Learn. The team are warm, caring, and supportive. My daughter has thrived and come along so well. She is prepared well for her move to Big School. We cannot thank
the nursery enough for all they have done. We are sad to leave!

The nursery is just amazing. We were waiting for a space here as they were having a refurbishment. The jungle gym is incredible. My son loves spending time in here and is always so happy. My son loves the new art studio and always brings home lovely paintings for us. The team are so welcoming and they
have so much to offer - Spanish classes, sensory classes and so much more. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new, state-of-the-art nursery for their child.

Play 2 Learn is a fantastic nursery, and my child has loved every moment here. She always comes back smiling and telling us something new she has learned that day. The care is excellent, and I knew my little girl was always safe and well looked after.

Both my girls have attended The Haven 2000 over the last 6 years. My eldest left a very confident girl and had a great start to her school life with her preschool experience and phonics. When we move house later this year, we will miss the staff and managers who have seen our girls grow and blossom
there.

Our daughter is just about to leave for school. She is going to leave the Haven as a confident and well spoken four-year-old. This is down to the fantastic and never-ending work of the practitioners here, and all the projects aimed to improve children's educational and social attainment. We started
here just over a year and a half ago and the difference in both academic achievements and her social skills have skyrocketed. Without the Haven, I am not sure she or I would be ready for this next stage.

We love the Haven and couldn't speak more highly of it. We have a 3 year old daughter who's been at the Haven since she was 1. The staff are wonderful and there is a real family feel. They take a genuine interest in each child's individual character and development. They really work hard to be up to
date on the latest research into child development and to share with parents what to expect at each development stage. My husband and I feel so comfortable and confident in their care for our daughter. I would say one of the best and unique things we have found is that every member of staff works hard to get to know every child regardless of how much daily interaction they will have with them but more than that they also get to know the family. They are a genuine support to us and an extension of our family unit.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Play 2 Learn Day Nursery Bedford 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.950 for Play 2 Learn Day Nursery Bedford is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 Play 2 Learn Day Nursery Bedford is based on 25 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 25 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.
