My son who is in the baby room at Purple Lion in Benfleet is absolutely thriving! It has been amazing to see his confidence grow and create such lovey bonds with the team who you can tell care for all of the children as if they were their own. You can really tell that the children come first in every
aspect. I also absolutely love the crafts he brings home too, I think I need a second fridge to start storing all of the artwork on! Thank you Purple Lion for looking after my baby boy!

Absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff are incredible and nothing is ever too much trouble they are friendly and welcoming and so good with the children. Picking a nursery can be difficult but I am so happy I chose Purple Lion's Benfleet as I feel reassured that my child is in safe hands. My little
girl has been going since she was 11 months old and couldn't be happier when dropping her off in the mornings! Not a bad word I can say.

I cannot rave about Purple Lion enough, we as a family recommend it to everyone we know. The staff go above and beyond and have a genuinely lovely relationship with our child. We always get a full breakdown of our child's day at nursery at pick-up and updates on their progress via an app. Our child
has been attending for just over a year and we have seen them come on leap and bounds in their communication and independence since joining. A massive thank you to the team for all you have done and continue to do for our family. Your hard work and support is greatly appreciated!

We love everything about the nursery! Everyone has their hesitations when deciding to put your child into nursery but rest assured these guys look after your children as if they were their own! In fact, my second child will also be joining soon and I am not at all nervous about it.
I think sometimes
the kids would rather be there than at home on the weekends so that says it all!
Thank you to all the dedicated staff for looking after my most precious baby.

My little boy started this nursery in September after we moved areas. Initially, I was so worried, but this nursery has topped any other experience I’ve had before. My little one is so happy and has come on leaps and bounds; he cannot wait to get in and even waves me off. All of the staff are so caring.
If you are considering this nursery, then do not hesitate! You will not be disappointed!

This is such an overdue post! I cannot express the immense gratitude and gratefulness we as parents have for Purple Lion Daycare. The staff are truly a delightful and dedicated group of carers. The care for our son (and I truly believe all the children) is absolutely amazing! My 2-year-old's face lights
up when we get there and he will walk straight in. I can just see he is happy. When we collect him he is so excited to show us the things in his class. I recently went through a really tough first trimester in my second pregnancy... the additional care and support we received as a family melts my heart! Just seeing how our son is developing and what he learns and the things he does at home we have not shown him, I can 100% see it is a nurturing caring fun learning environment! That goes for everything else...communication, food, feedback etc. Team- you are amazing! Thank you for all your hard work caring for our little ones!

My 2 children have both attended Purple Lions and I’ve never had any complaints. They are amazing with the children, the staff are lovely and my children bounce through the door every morning. They have an amazing variety of games and toys. They are always coming home learning new things every day.
The lunch variety is amazing. It’s encouraged my children to eat things we might not eat at home.
The staff are all kind and the children have great relationships with them all.
Any issues I’ve needed help with regarding management have always been dealt with in a timely professional manner
I have and will continue to recommend them to friends and family.

My child is quite new to nursery and I was worried about how she would settle in, but she seems to have fit right into the group here and has totally exceeded our expectations. She is always excited to go and leaves feeling confident and bright. She loves to tell us about everything she has been doing
and learning and has quickly built great relationships with the staff and other children here. I also love to see the regular, detailed updates on the app, so I know what she gets up to and I can see how much she is enjoying her time here.

Purple Lion Day Nursery in Benfleet is amazing, can’t speak highly enough of the staff. Very helpful and always gives lots of feedback about my child’s day and what she’s been up to.
I feel very comfortable leaving my child with the staff there and she loves them all and tells me all about how much
fun she has with the staff when she is there.

We are so happy with how well our son has settled into the nursery. He adjusted well to his new routine and is full of enthusiasm when we drop him off in the morning. It's evident that he has formed a strong bond with the staff and is always smiling and happy after a long day. His language and communication
skills are broadening and his gross motor skills are improving with the activities that he is participating in each day. We love the updates we receive throughout the day, they are comforting and reassuring.

My son started nursery at Purple Lion Nursery in February 2023. Since then he has completed potty training within 2 months and enjoyed his time with peers and teachers at every session. Teachers kept parents updated promptly so we understand any progress made and also things needed to be improved on.
Overall good experience.

This is a lovely nursery with a home-from-home environment. Management at the nursery is superb and all staff are lovely, highly professional and very experienced. The nursery isn’t huge so you will be welcomed by small groups of children playing calmly when you visit.
Communication from the nursery
is great and staff update an online app with observations and activities. We always know our little boy is in safe hands here.
Choosing a nursery is not an easy task but I viewed all in the area before deciding and this was exactly the calm atmosphere I was looking for.
Thank you ream keep up the good work.
We will really miss you all when he starts school in September!

I have nothing but great things to say about this nursery and its staff! In fact, it really is the staff and management that make this nursery what it is. I can not say enough good things about the management. There is always great communication, understanding and patience and always so helpful. I can
leave my child knowing he is being cared for well which puts my mind at ease. The only criticism I have is I feel like the facilities/nursery could do with an overhaul to revamp and modernise.

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.
