My daughter recently moved to Bumblebees and has settled very well with all the new children and staff. My only observation is that I miss getting the handover sheet at the end of the day. It was very handy to see what she'd eaten, how she slept etc. The staff do discuss this on collection on the whole,
but not always.

The staff at Maples are extremely caring and positive with my son. He has super hands-on experience that promotes his learning. He is showing great confidence and progress.
I have been particularly impressed by the opportunity to take part in Rugby Tots, which has helped my son start to understand
teamwork.

We find the staff to be very supportive of our son's needs and take good care of him during his recent transition to big brother status and the ensuing change in schedule.
I would say that the '30 free hours' and the way they are distributed are extremely inconvenient.

I feel the nursery has improved drastically since the split of the BumbleBee room. All the staff are very helpful and approachable. Since arrival, the ability of my child has improved every day and I feel he is reaching learning goals quickly. The online parent zone application is very good and well
utilized.

Maples Day Nursery is outstanding. My son loves it there and is always excited when he talks about his day.
The staff are fantastic and I have seen my son develop in leaps and bounds since attending. They are very creative in the activities for the children that are fun while still developing key
skills.
I am very fortunate that my son attends Maples Day Nursery and their online app is a great bonus.

Maples Day Nursery is generally a well run and friendly environment for our child. We have been sending our child there for seven years. Over this period there has been good continuity and retention of key staff which speaks for itself.
The kids seem happy enough and the staff interested, energised
and informative. Keep up the good work!

Great childcare, my son seems to enjoy his time here. He takes part in lots of fun activities, is well fed and looked after and always comes home tired from all the fun he has been having.

Great nursery, the kids are happy here. Food is good with great staff. Glad to hear that the menu has changed, there was too much sugar/cake before.


Too many staff changes!

Staff are friendly and will always greet myself and my son in the morning.
They are very caring and when my son gets upset when he sees me in the garden, they give him cuddles and reassure him I will be back soon.
During hand over, they will say about what he ate and slept and sometimes, but not all
the time, tell me what he has done in the day.

My daughter absolutely loves Maples Day Nursery and asks to go on days she is not enrolled. The specific attention to every child's needs is commendable. Finding a nursery which provides such a safe, happy and fun environment whilst focussing on development is as rare as yellow chocolate unicorns. I
am exceptionally pleased with the use of outside agencies such as 'Rugby Tots' within the programme.

Both my 2 children come to Maples, people are so nice and sweet with the children, I love the fact that the children are very stimulated by lots of activities tailored to their ages. Very appreciative that they are independent early and start to learn numbers and letters at 3.

Excellent. Girls really lovely. Flexible long opening hours. Great food. Feel so happy with staff. Only concern is there is a lot of children and on a morning I don't know if the child ratio is enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Maples Day Nursery (Winchester) 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 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 4.857 for Maples Day Nursery (Winchester) is calculated as follows: ( (249 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 4.909 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Maples Day Nursery (Winchester) is based on 24 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 132 number of registered child places is 26.4. 24 Positive Reviews ÷ 26.4 = 0.909

  • 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.
