You have looked after our girls for the last 6-years, and so, have had such a huge part in their growing up so far. We want to thank you; you've been absolutely wonderful with everything you've done. We will be sure to recommend the super team if anyone is looking for a nursery.

A really big thank you for making our sons time at nursery so happy and enjoyable. He really has enjoyed pre-school best. Really appreciate all the time and patience you have given and made him into the little character he is today. He is now ready to move to his new chapter of starting school.

The nursery is excellent. We can see a huge improvement in our kids when attending Seabrooks. Is our 2nd child there. The 1st one I tried to moved near my house, however, could not find the standard the same as Seabrook. They teach, care, and they look after children so well. Well done to all the team.
I believe the management team worked on a better process regards safeguard concerns. No issues at all.

The quality of care at Seabrooks is second to none. The staff are brilliant, and the setting is great. Both of my children have attended this nursery, and I have been extremely happy with all aspects of the nursery. To me, it feels like a family, and I cannot think of a better nursery. The onsite cook
is also fabulous, providing well throughout and nutritious food for the children.

I've been meaning to sit down and write an email of thanks to the staff at this nursery, particularly my little boy's key worker! Before transferring to this nursery, we were filled with apprehension and uncertainty. There was risk our plans would collapse if our boy hadn't of settled. Since starting
at this nursery, we have noticed a huge development in our little boy in such a short period of time and actually realise the amount of work you invest in his development, in comparison to his previous nursery. We love receiving updates via the parent app, it's lovely to hear the little things he does and it keeps us going at work throughout the day. Also thank you, I'm having to buy bigger clothes for our little boy sooner than planned, from reading how much he eats! But seriously, him eating double amounts is a sign he is happy at the nursery and we are so pleased we took the chance of changing our work location and lifestyle for the better. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

My son has always been happy at Seabrook. The staff are awesome and so friendly. My son has really flourished here. I would recommend Seabrook to any parent. I'm always kept up to date, and Seabrook really does deserve its outstanding Ofsted review.

My daughter has been attending Seabrook for more than 15 months. She started when she was 12 months and she has been in 3 different rooms so far. She loves going to nursery, she is always happy there. She enjoys playing and singing with her friends and she feels loved by the staff. I feel confident
that she is safe and well cared which makes it easier to leave her every morning. I can see she is learning, making friends and enjoying her time there. I am very pleased I chose this nursery.

The staff have been excellent and very supportive during all 3 lockdowns, without them and the structure they provide NHS worker parents like myself would not be able to do what we do. Thank you, to the manager and team!

My daughter has been attending Seabrook Nursery for over a year now, starting off in the Butterflies room and transitioning to pre-school in September 2020. She absolutely loves it at Seabrook and is always telling us about the fun things she has been doing with the staff and her friends. There is a
really good focus on developing children and updating us via Parentzone of what activities our daughter has been doing and she has become more confident and encouraged to learn. During the pandemic, staff have gone out of their way to help parents and keep the children entertained. We have been very grateful for the support provided at such a difficult time.

I have previously written reviews online about the nursery since my son has started here because he has come on leaps and bounds with his learning, confidence, social skills and eating since being here but I wanted to do another review for the nursery now for how well I feel the nursery on a whole have
dealt with COVID-19. They have stayed open during the pandemic, the communication/emails have been great with all the updates on guidelines and safety measures. So I was really reassured to send my son back to the nursery. The staff have been amazing throughout as usual. Well done Seabrook!

Our daughter joined the nursery in April 2020. She has always been quite shy and struggled to be separated from me. Since joining Seabrook, I have seen my daughter grow into a confident and independent little girl. She has improved her speaking, drawing and general interaction skills. The staff are
equally as amazing and I am so grateful to have her spend her year here!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Seabrook Day Nursery (Luton) 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.949 for Seabrook Day Nursery (Luton) is calculated as follows: ( (422 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 432 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Seabrook Day Nursery (Luton) is based on 35 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8, which has been reached with 35 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.
