My son had been in Pine Rivers Kindergarten for 3 years since he was 1 year old. He absolutely loved it. It took him very short time to settle, loved his key workers. He has gained lots of academic and social skills. All members staff has been very helpful, easy to talk to. Very cosy and domestic atmosphere
inside, beautiful garden, which allows kids to do lots of activities outside. Management was very flexible with our requests and needs as full time working parents. We felt like part of a family rather than just a customer. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

My son was here for 2 years. I found the menu was varied and healthy with regular meals and snacks. Staff handover was given each day reliably and preference for routine were followed wherever possible (e.g. if my son chooses to sleep or not eat something there's only so much you can do!) Able to accommodate
a dairy free diet with minor limitations. Outside garden space is lovely and really enjoyed. Always happy and occupied on being picked up. None of his clothes lost or ruined. Lovely book of his progress. Whole staff team knew his name. Lots of craft activities.

My daughter started at the nursery when she was 9 months old, she was cared for very well in the baby room. I never felt worried at any point leaving my daughter to go to work. The staff were always friendly and respected our family values and beliefs. My daughter has now left at 4yrs old and she gave
the head of the nursery a big hug on her last day. I always loved the way the management team were always very helpful and knew my daughter as an individual not just another child in the group. My daughter always loved the nursery trips to the Library. Pine Rivers always felt like a home away from home, total peace of mind all the years that my daughter attended as well as a good menu available from the on site chef. I will miss the management team as they became our friends. I would definitely recommend the nursery to my friends and family.

A heartfelt thank you to all the Pine Rivers Kindergarten staff. My daughter has been very happy and has blossomed in your care. It's lovely to see her progress from nursery but it's also sad to see her leaving all of her first friends. I know she will miss you all enormously but at least she and indeed
all of us will keep our fond memories of the past years at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd.


I would recommend this nursery any day any time. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning.


The Manager is approachable and a very good listener.


Excellent staff who are caring, very professional with a good attitude.


Reply from Lesley Delecia, Director at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd

Thank you for your kind review, we will miss everyone leaving for school this year as always and wish them all the best for their ongoing learning.
We thoroughly enjoy watching them blossom into confident young children.

Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd just tick all the boxes for us. It's a clean, spacious and a colourful environment with big windows in each room that brings lots of light in. The 4 rooms that are set for the different age groups are spacious and well laid out . At the back of the property there is an
outstanding looking garden, the largest I have seen in a nursery and it's on one level. There are several activities areas where the children can explore, run and play while supervised by professional, loving, friendly staff .
I have no doubt I have chosen the best nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.867)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.867 for Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.867

  • 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 Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd is based on 10 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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6, which has been reached with 10 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.
