This nursery is amazing, I have 2 children here and the relationship they have with staff is fantastic, I know they are well cared for and happy. I chose the nursery based on the surroundings, being an old school, the garden and playground is huge for children to freely run around.
My eldest is advanced
for her age, she picked up on things (like potty/toilet training, writing her name etc) so quickly as they supported her through her learning and growth. The food is great choice and encourages children to try new things. Both my children are very happy here.

Both of my daughters have attended the day nursery over the last 3 years and I have been extremely happy with the care they are given.
The staff are always very welcoming and friendly, my youngest who is still attending loves them all and really enjoys her days.
They communicate all day with food
updates and photos showing what they're up to, it's a great touch and a comfort when I'm at work.
The garden space is great for playing outside and the food offered is varied and nutritious.
My youngest will be going to school in September and we will all be very sad to say goodbye.

My granddaughter has been going to The Day Nursery since she was around 7 months old and I think the nursery and staff are fantastic. The nursery has a wonderful outside area with lots of room and is continuing to develop. The food is very nutritious with lots of variety and she is trying new foods
every day. She has become a very confident and bright girl and this is because of the amazing staff that look after her. From being in the baby room to now in the pre-school all staff have continued to give her great care and it is a delight to see the relationships she has built with all members of staff. Whenever I go to pick her up she always has a massive smile on her face and never wants to leave. What more could you ask for when someone is looking after something so precious.

Fantastic nursery. Communication is brilliant. Says it all that my little boy is sad to go home. The app is updated continually throughout the day so I can see how he is getting on. His development has come on leaps and bounds. Each day he comes with something new that he has learnt.

My child has been going to The Day Nursery since he was 10months old and is now almost 4,
I have seen him blossom into such a lovely, polite character full of energy and as much as I’d like to take the credit myself, a large part of that is thanks to the lovely staff at The Day Nursery who are always
happy to see him. He absolutely loves going and for a child to ask to go to nursery on a Saturday and Sunday and be sad when I tell him he can’t as it’s the weekend, well I think that’s better than any review I can give the nursery myself!
Would highly recommend and will be sad when he leaves for big school come September.

My oldest Daugther was here and now my youngest. The fact they have some of the same workers that looked after my oldest 5years ago just shows what amazing place it is.


I feel reassured and satisfied while going to work in London, knowing she is happy and safe. My daughter loves it there! We have

no tears in the mornings, all the activities and things they teach them is great.

Amazing nursery, very friendly staff who make you feel at ease leaving your child in their capable hands. My child loves this nursery and always has so much fun.
The drawings and gifts that she brings home that they have made put a smile on my face.
The daily connect app is excellent and the security
system used is high-tech and modern.

We moved our daughter to The Day Nursery in April 2015 from another nursery. Since she has been attending her confidence has grown, she has made friends and is always happy when we collect her. The snacks and meals on offer are excellent. The staff are always professional, caring and friendly. It is
excellent value for money - the outdoor space and toys are of excellent quality and are well maintained. It is a lovely environment for the children and the standard of care is high. We have confidence in leaving her which makes going to work a lot less painful!

My daughter started here at 7 months old, and we couldn't be happier. Having worked here 4 years previous to her starting I feel I have extremely good insight to how the children are cared for and we wouldn't have her any where else. The girls make an exceptional effort in making relationships with
the parents and children, my daughter loves going to nursery and is progressing at an astonishing rate. She loves the food, activities and the nursery is clean and set out beautifully. My partner and I would recommend The Day Nursery to all our close family and friends.

I can really recommend The Day Nursery in Rawreth. The staff have gone out of their way to make sure my son settled into his new routine of being away form mum! My once shy little boy now can't wait to wave goodbye to me and enjoy his day with his new friends. The staff are all extremely friendly and
happy to help with any questions I may have. The use of daily connect is excellent and enables me to be reassured that my son is ok and enjoying his time at nursery.

My husband and I are both teachers and selected a nursery for our son very carefully, considering distance from home/work, facilities and staff. We have been very impressed with the care and guidance our son receives. Daily connect is an excellent investment and very useful for us to have. Our son has
a range of creative, stimulating and fun activities everyday and eats a well balanced diet at The Day Nursery. The most important element for us is the staff and the care and kindness they display and this is always exemplary.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.735)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.735) out of 10 for The Day Nursery Rawreth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.780 for The Day Nursery Rawreth is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.78

  • 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 3.955 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Day Nursery Rawreth is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.455

  • 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.
