My child loves nursery, she sleeps well, eats well, loves her classmates and the staff. She learns so much. I would love to have more day to day updates of activities she is doing, but otherwise great experience.

Cedar Park is incredibly nurturing for our son. He is given space to develop and become himself. He enjoys going to nursery and talks about the staff and the friends he has played with. He is being given a solid foundation in life and education.

We could not be more happy with the standard of care at Cedar Park. Our daughter comes home everyday so positive and genuinely looks forward to going to nursery and seeing her teachers. They have stimulating and educational activities, an amazing outside area and nurturing staff. I can't say enough
positive things and can't wait for our second daughter to start!

Our son attended Cedar Park Day Nursery in 2023-2024 period. The Cedar Park team was incredibly supportive with our son's settling period and the development we've observed throughout the year had been fantastic. The communication with the parents was excellent. I highly recommend Cedar Park to all
parents as they set him up for a successful transition to primary school.

My daughter has been with Cedar Park Day Nursery for the last 2 years, before that my eldest for 3 and half years. They both have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery. Key workers are excellent, flexible and understanding towards kids needs. Nursery is enclosed and tight in security, but at
the same time with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces, nursery is extremely clean and organised. No children are left alone, closely monitored. Both my children are independent and confident, and I have nursery to thank for. I also have been given positive comments from school about the confidence and independence my eldest has showcased during the year that she has been in school. Kitchen staff are amazing, and they both know children individually and their dietary requirements. Reception, front office and the management team are really accommodative, friendly but thorough with what they do. Cedar Park run a brilliant operation, where I am confident to leave my children without any hesitation.

Our older child attended for two years when we moved into the area and now our younger one is starting her third year. All the staff are very lovely, their curriculum intent is available for all to see and the parent portal gives a bird's eye view of what the children are doing and saying. They've been
very supportive when we needed it and we highly recommend them.

My daughter has been attending Cedar Park for 8 months, since she was 7 months, and the team has been brilliant with her, especially during her settling-in period. There is a range of activities planned each day which has helped with her learning and development - I particularly enjoy seeing all the
artwork she paints, they are on display in our home. The key workers are excellent at keeping us updated throughout the day via the app, this is appreciated. I cannot fault the team at Cedar Park, they are all incredibly supportive and have a great bond with our daughter. I would recommend the nursery to everyone.

We’ve been really happy with Cedar Park Nursery since our son started around 12 months old. The team is all so friendly and helpful and they’ve made him (and us!) feel at ease. He looks forward to going to nursery and loves the variety of play (including indoors and outdoors) and he loves the food.
The app for updating parents on meals, sleep, etc. is really helpful. The team is always doing extra things like fundraising, special events, little things for the kids to take home, and online training for parents. We couldn’t be happier with the nursery.

Everyone at Cedar Park is fantastic, our toddler had a great time and looked forward to nursery as well. The big thing that sets this nursery apart is the care they take with the kids, from the home-cooked meals and updates to enquiring about the kids every morning.

Where to begin...
We truly couldn't be happier seeing how much our daughter is thriving, developing and coming out of her shell since attending Cedar Park.
The team are incredibly supportive and clearly have the children's best interests at heart, which as a first time parent is very reassuring.
The
rooms are very well equipped and the activities are varied too. Additionally, we are grateful to receive updates daily and gain some understanding on how our daughter's day is going. Photos are always welcomed.
We look forward to see her continue to thrive in nursery and gain confidence in all aspects thanks to the hardworking staff at Cedar Park.

We are very pleased with Cedar Park Day Nursery in Twyford, our daughter started at nursery and then moved into the preschool room as she grew older. She absolutely loves it at preschool, looks forward to going every day and we can see she had a brilliant day every time we pick her up. The staff are
just great, they are always caring and very professional, we feel she is always well looked after and happy. The room is really nice with various activities areas tailored to the kids' interests, an outdoor covered patio and an amazing large garden, so time outdoors is a big part of their day. They also cover a wide range of interesting topics and great ideas for activities and learning. Our daughter has thrived here and with the skills and confidence gained, we feel she is ready for school and Cedar Park has played such an important role in it.

We are so glad we found Cedar Park Day Nursery! Our daughter has had the perfect start from the age of 1.5 years old and now she is about to graduate from the pre-school, ready for big school life.
She has made some amazing friends, adores all of her teachers and has had the best time at Cedar Park.
Our
son is about to join in September and we can’t wait to see him flourish. The staff are all amazing, the facilities available for the children are fantastic and we, honestly, are so happy with our experience here at Cedar Park Nursery. Thank you for everything.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 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 4.862 for Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford) is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.862

  • 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 4.891 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford) is based on 23 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 129 number of registered child places is 25.8. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.8 = 0.891

  • 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.
