Dair House School Nursery is an excellent nursery providing the highest standards of care for the children. The facilities provided for the children both inside the classroom and in the playground are excellent. They do a wide variety of activities each week and have a lot of fun. I was also very pleasantly
surprised that my child was interested in phonics and numbers at the age of three and I credit this to the nursery teachers making their learning fun. The children are encouraged to develop their independence and learn to complete tasks such as putting on their shoes and coat with lots of praise and support, bringing out their confidence.
The teachers genuinely care about your child's emotional needs. I have never had to worry that my child might be too hot, cold or unable to speak to his teachers about anything that is on his mind, all his needs are met to the highest standard. The children are given the opportunity to thrive at nursery. I cannot recommend Dair House School Nursery highly enough!

My daughter has had an amazing experience at Dair House School Nursery. She has learnt so much and become very confident in herself. She shares all about her learning experiences at the nursery. The staff are wonderful, they are a real asset to Dair House School Nursery. The nursery children are also
made to feel part of the wider school community which has been very special from a parent perspective.

We’ve had a great experience with the nursery at Dair House School Nursery. Despite starting during Covid-19 restrictions, our son settled in well. Communication is good, despite current limitations, with a programme of their activities for the week shared ahead and observations recorded in an online
app. Food is provided by the school kitchen and there’s a good variety of meals. We’ve recently moved from half-days to full days and that has worked well too. I have great confidence that the nursery are providing a great foundation for our son starting school in September.

My son loves Dair House School Nursery. He settled straight away with the help of the friendly staff who go above and beyond. He has grown in confidence and progressed so much. The facilities and resources they have are excellent and there is a fantastic outside space the children have access to. I
cannot fault the nursery, school and my son is looking forward to continuing his time there.

A fantastic nursery with an extensive outdoor play area, complete with mud kitchen, wheels galore and climbing frames.


The nursery teachers are fun, enthusiastic, approachable and have my child's best interests at all times.


The weekly planning sheets and the online Tapestry means I know what

my child has done and is doing, allowing me to engage and reinforce her learning.


Nursery children get an opportunity to play a part in the school nativity play. I am looking forward to seeing this.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for Dair House School Nursery 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 5.000 for Dair House School Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dair House School Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 21 number of registered child places is 4.2, which has been reached with 9 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.
