I love this nursery. My oldest child has recently left for school and has been so happy, confident and well-prepared during the years at Queens. My youngest is still at the nursery site and will move to preschool early next year. Without exception, the staff have been wonderful, caring, engaging and
fun. There are lots of great activities and trips. The little ones are nurtured and supported to settle. The older ones are well prepared for school. Nursey's comms and updates are great. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

Our son has been attending Queens Nursery for almost a year. He really enjoys his time here and is always happy to be dropped off and comes out with a smile on his face when we collect him. The staff are brilliant and in particular his keyworker has been outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure
his needs are met and communicates well with us. The other team members in his room are equally fantastic and he often speaks of them fondly when he is at home. The activities both at the nursery and outings to the forest, local community etc. Are always well thought out and inclusive. We enjoy coming along to the nursery when they have activities to which parents are invited. It’s lovely to see the nursery set up and to see how your child interacts amongst their peers and the staff. Our son has multiple severe food allergies so the care he receives is of utmost importance to us. The nursery has taken part in specialist allergy training and has good allergy policies in place.

My son has been attending this nursery 2 times a week for almost a year now despite having an alternative free full-time childcare option to me and it was the best decision we ever made.
They are a well run nursery with brilliant staff and I am so impressed by the activities they have going on for
the children to aid their early years development. For instance, this week they brought in animals from a local farm for the children to interact with and feed. My son loved it.
Now that they have the new Pre-School on Princes Road, they have additional outdoor space for the children to enjoy which was my only concern when I viewed the nursery (however I do understand this is a limitation of the area and the location is key for us).
Highly recommend - the care is exceptional, my son has settled in so well and enjoys everyday he attends.

Our son has been attending Queen's Nursery for nearly two years since he was 11 months old - starting at the baby nursery. He absolutely loves it and we couldn't be happier! He gets to experience a wide range of activities, from weekly yoga and phonics to excursions to the forest and into the local
community. The staff are truly excellent - professional, highly skilled, dedicated and caring - our son adores them. He runs in every morning, excited for what the day will bring.
We are very pleased with the communication we receive from the staff; activities, progress, food, naps etc. Are all documented on the app and we get an in-person run-down of the day too from key workers at pickup time.
We are extremely happy with Queens Nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - Thank you to the staff and management for giving our son such a wonderful experience.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery and has been thriving since starting at the beginning of the year. She even talks about her teachers at home.
The nursery offer lots of extra activities, she has specialist sessions every day and has lots of opportunities for going on adventures outside
the nursery.
The staff team are always so friendly, approachable and professional and listen to anything I have to say.
I couldn’t rate it any higher!

Our daughter has been attending Queens Pre-School throughout this year, and it has been a fabulous experience for her. She has grown in such a positive way.
She smiles a great big smile every time she arrives there, and clearly feels safe and cared for in an environment that she enjoys being in and
learns a lot.
Can't recommend the place enough.

My son attends Queens Nursery full time and I cannot fault his care in any way. He takes part in weekly French lessons and now uses some French in his vocabulary. There are multiple parent events monthly, which are well-planned and allow families to mix and build relationships. The manager is always
at the end of the phone and email with help with anything. One of the room leaders is exceptional and my son adores her.

The staff at Queens Nursery are truly fantastic! The activities and general level of engagement are of a very high standard with considered and thoughtful themes and coordination always applied. They are a positive, energetic and wonderful influence on our two children who attends and we are so pleased
with our decision to send them here. Good behaviours are instilled across all ages and classes and the practical side of nursery life (meal times, naps, potty training etc) are all exceptional. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who provide our children with a home away from home during their days there!

Our twins have been attending Queen's Nursery for nearly a year now, since transitioning from baby nursery and they love it! All the staff are very caring and friendly, and our girls talk about their keyworkers all the time at home. Our girls have come on so well. Having spent a lot of time in lockdowns,
they had been quite shy, but the staff have been brilliant at helping them to settle in and build their confidence. There's always something exciting going on, whether it be specialist classes, trips out or loads of fun activities. We love to receive the app notifications that show us what they've been up to! Thank you so much to all the staff, we highly recommend Queen's Nursery!

The nursery has caring, dedicated staff who provide excellent care to the children and our son quickly became very attached to his key worker. The garden/outside space is a little limited but this is made up for by the regular trips out to the forest and into the local community. The nursery provides
a good array of special outside visitors/classes. There is an excellent onsite chef and the main food provided is varied and nutritious, with a menu that changes every 6 months or so. All in all, we have been very happy with Queens Nursery and highly recommend them.

Absolutely outstanding nursery and preschool - our little one started in baby nursery and has progressed to pre-school. There is so much care and attention and each child is focused on and each key worker we've had has been so attentive and personalised their approach to our little one. They go over
and above in terms of activities - e.g. forest walks and activities, clay workshops, cooking and baking and involvement and outings in the local community, as well as specialised classes and teachers for yoga, French, ballet and music - and they also do monthly home activity packs. They're very communicative in person and via the app. Highly recommend - they really do stand out in comparison to other nurseries and preschools - staff and management are lovely and supportive and really care about what they do.

Our son has been attending Queens Nursery since he was a year old, he was in the baby one room before. He absolutely loves it and runs in everyday. The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting culture, which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery. Everyday there is a new activity
or experience planned and he seems to be really thriving from the variety. The general communications from the team including management is great.

Great nursery, our son has been there for nearly 6 months now, we've been very impressed. Staff are attentive and caring, they organise many activities and outside trips, and look after each child's individual needs (for example potty training). Get daily updates on the app including photos and videos
of what your child has been doing. Very happy with the choice of nursery we made for our son. We will be sending our younger son there too, can't think of a better endorsement than that.

My son has been going to Queens since he was a year old, first to the baby nursery and now to the pre-school nursery. He has always been very happy to go to Queens and the various activities organised by the nursery have aided his physical, social and emotional development. The staff are very attentive
to the needs of the children and any issues or problems related to the child are addressed promptly. The staff are also very prompt in recording the daily log, observations and accidents in the app, and regular feedback is provided by the staff to the parent on the development of the child. Overall, I'm very happy with the nursery and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Both my sons (one now aged 6 and the other nearly aged 4), have attended Queens Nursery and we've been very pleased with the care they have received over the years. Queens Nursery have always gone above and beyond in organising trips to the forest and within the local area, sending home activities to
do and books to read. I love that over the years they have daily specialist teachers in music, yoga, baby ballet, phonics etc. attending the nursery. Every day the activities are really well planned and well thought through, with a view to developing the children through play. I have always felt like I've been kept well informed about what is happening at nursery and the teachers are also very nurturing.

All of the staff are very friendly and approachable. We had asked our child’s key worker to help her start to write the alphabet and they immediately started working with her to do so, which was such a pleasure to see. The staff organise for the children to do many educational and fun activities, including
visits to the woods and surrounding shops, which our daughter loves. She also loves the yoga and Bongalong classes, where songs/ nursery rhymes are taught. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son has attended this nursery for two years. First the baby nursery and now the toddler nursery, just up the road. I’ll be honest, I primarily chose this nursery for its location as I don’t drive. I thought the premises and activities were good, but I didn’t have anything to compare to as this was
my first bub. I have and continued to be blown away by the attention to detail and care that the staff provide. The activities that the kids do are insane and I love the updates on the app as well as the weekly email updates from the manager, with pics and descriptions of what everyone’s been up to and what is coming up. I really don’t think they could do any more. There doesn’t seem to be a high staff turnover and my boy is happy there, with the staff and other children who he has grown up with, the last couple of years. They are receptive to feedback and have been understanding with recent difficulties we’ve had with our childcare account. Thank you all so much.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.246)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.246) out of 10 for Queens Nursery & Pre School 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.963 for Queens Nursery & Pre School is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.963

  • 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 4.283 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Queens Nursery & Pre School is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.583

  • 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.
