Just wanted to thank the staff at Benfleet Nursery, they have all been amazing at looking after my children this year! They have also helped me with one of the hardest years I have had this year and I couldn't have done it without them!

My experience has been very positive at Purple Lion Day Nurseries Benfleet. You can tell that the staff really work together as a tight knit team and the priority is all about the well being and development of the children. All the staff I have encountered have been friendly and it has been so lovely
to see my child have a close bond with her key worker. My daughter is happy and has settled amazingly at the nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. It is small but well run and I love the fact that there is an app to keep up to date with everything.

Fantastic nursery and amazing staff! My 3 children have all attended Purple Lion Day Nursery. The eldest being 12 now and 7 years later I was so happy to find the setting had the same staff there. I honestly couldn't love this nursery anymore you get a home to home feeling as soon as you walk into the
door. All staff know each child personally regardless of what room they are in. My youngest is the only one left at the setting now and I honestly can say I will be so sad when he leaves next year. Communication is fantastic from weekly updates to every single day when you go to collect you get updated on how much they have eaten, nappy or toilet changes and what they have done during the day. Not a day goes by where any of my children have not loved going to nursery and I know they are well loved and safe. I honestly couldn't say a bad word about Purple Lion and the staff I definitely think this is the best setting in the area and recommend it. Purple Lion will forever hold a special place in my heart.

My child really enjoys coming to Purple Lion Day Nursery on a Thursday. The play leaders at the nursery are really friendly and helpful. The nursery maintains good standards. My child has developed both good communicational and physical developmental skills since attending the nursery. The children
are really well fed and I love getting updates on the family app is the highlight of my week. I can keep calm and positive knowing that my daughter is being looked after whilst I'm at work.

My son has now been going to the nursery for a year and I couldn't recommend the Purple Lion Day Nursery Benfleet enough! He settled in so well and absolutely loves the staff, he has formed a real bond with them and as a parent it makes leaving your child a little easier when you see how happy they
are! Thank you to all of the staff for everything you do.

My daughter started the summer of 2024 at 9 months old and straight away she was happy, content and loved going from day one.
She has been cared for by the baby room staff amazingly. Their commitment, understanding and rapport with other staff, parents and children is beautiful to see!

My daughter has been attending since 2023 and I am and have always been really happy with the care she receives here. The staff are supportive, engaging, caring and helpful. She enjoys going into nursery and telling me about her friends and all the things they have been doing during the day, which usually
include arts and crafts, singing, dancing and playing in the garden. She loves showing off all the things she has made and displaying them at home. The nursery are very good with communication and keeping me informed through the app which is a big help.

My toddler is attending this nursery and we couldn't be happier. He absolutely loves it and asks to go even on the days he isn't there. I was a very nervous mom sending my baby to be looked after by someone other than a family member but all the staff put my mind at ease and now I don't even get a "goodbye
mommy" as he runs I the door and I am very happy leaving him. His speech has come on amazingly, his colours and numbers are fantastic and every day he is there, he surprises us with something new he has learned. With a new baby, I struggle to sit with him all day and do lessons, and they are teaching him far more than I have time to. He comes home happy, chatty and full of stories of what he has been up to, and he is only 2. I can't praise this nursery enough.
Signed, very anxious mom now very calm and happy.

I can't recommend the Purple Lion Day Nursery highly enough to others. It is such a happy and caring place and like a second home to the children. All the staff know all the children very well, regardless of whether they are the child's key carer (we are greeted in the morning with smiles from everyone).
I
must say that you are really doing a great job. You give attention to each child and make sure that each child in your class is able to learn. Really appreciative and very hopeful that together we will make this another successful year for our children. Teaching staff is very friendly and supportive.

My child has attended Purple Lions Day Nurseries Benfleet for some time now, and I love the personalisation that I feel having my child there. It doesn't feel
Like she is just another child, they always know what's going on and happy to work with you for the best needs of your child. I love the lengths
they go to for extra curricular activities to help the children experience so much more. I would always highly recommended this nursery.

We couldn't be happier with Purple Lion Day Nurseries. The teachers are so caring and dedicated, creating a safe and stimulating environment for the children. Our child has grown in confidence and loves going to school every day. The communication from the staff is excellent, and we appreciate the thoughtful
updates and insights into our child's progress. We feel truly lucky to be part of this wonderful community and wholeheartedly recommend it to other families.

My son has been attending the nursery since April 2024, from the start all of the staff have been incredible!!
My son was really clingy but has got a lot better, he gets excited to go in and loves all of the staff. He has come on so much since starting and is always coming home after learning new
things.
The staff are so welcoming and friendly and I often see my son playing happily with them before he sees me.
I attended the Christmas event which was so lovely. The staff worked extremely hard and put on an amazing event for the children and families.
I am so pleased I picked this nursery and have recommended to other parents too. I wouldn't send my son anywhere else. Thank you so much for treating my son and looking after him like he's your own. You can tell in the interactions between my son and all the staff that they are so caring towards him. Thank you.

My daughter has attended this nursery for 2 years now. She was a little dubious to begin with but quickly fell in love with the staff and her surroundings. Although a smaller setting, this has worked well for my daughter. I can't fault the staff at all. They are all very kind, caring and aware of each
child's needs and likes/dislikes. The manager is amazing. Having worked at the nursery and promoted internally, she really has a passion for the setting and ensuring she has the right staff to care for the children. There is always arts and crafts coming home and a rundown of what happened during the day. Lots of outdoor play/exploration and nutritious, healthy meals. Each year a Christmas party is held which my daughter has loved. Santa even made an appearance!
I regularly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for child care!

Purple Lions is the most lovely welcoming nursery and I am so glad my son goes here. I have recommended this nursery to my friends and if I was ever to have any more children I wouldn't take them anywhere else. The staff are fantastic, kind real people who you can see genuinely care for the children.
My son is very settled here and I will be sad to see him leave come August. Thank you Purple Lions for everything you do for our children!

My son started in June and I was really nervous about leaving him but I shouldn't have been. The staff at Purple Lion Benfleet have been amazing they love and care for him more than I could ever had hoped for and you can see my son has the same affection for all the staff, especially the main carers
in the baby room. They helped him settle in really quickly and he now gets excited to go when we leave home and happily goes in without looking back.
I highly recommend this nursery and the wonderful staff.

My son has been attending Little Purple Lions Benfleet since the end of April. I've had no issues at all since the day he started. They have been extremely helpful and so caring since the day I dropped him off on his 1st day. He had progressed so much since starting and I couldn't thank all the staff/management
enough for taking good care of my son when he attends. I can't thank everyone enough for all the support since day one. Bring on 2025.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Benfleet) 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.936 for Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Benfleet) is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 406 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 Purple Lion Day Nurseries (Benfleet) is based on 34 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 34 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.
