I've noticed wonderful improvements at Arcewood Nursery over the past six months. The new management has made a significant positive impact. The staff are very attentive and organized, creating a nurturing environment for the children. My child comes home happier every day, which speaks volumes about
the positive changes. I highly recommend Acrewood!

My daughter has been with Acre Wood since 8 months old and she's loved it from the start.
The staff are amazing and have helped her with the additional support she required for walking, often going above and beyond.
She's happy every day she comes home and we get regular updates on her activities
throughout the day.
It's a brilliant setting and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Acre Wood Day Nursery

Since our little one started at Acre Wood Day Nursery he has thrived and settled in so well. The staff are so lovely and you can see they genuinely care so much about their development. We love the site of the nursery, being that bit smaller compared to some. It's great to see them all so happy and
friendly. I love dropping him off for breakfast, looks like carnage but the best kind!

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Acre Wood Day Nursery

Thank you for your review. It's wonderful to hear how much you and your little one love Acre Wood Day Nursery! We're so glad he's thriving and has settled in so well.

This nursery has improved tenfold since the new management took over. We chose this nursery simply because it is the only nursery that can offer us the hours we need. Under the old management, I absolutely dreaded sending my child in every day and was trying to move them. Any concerns I had were met
by an extremely unhelpful manager (now long gone) with a visibly unhappy team. Since the new team/manager came on board my child has come on leaps and bounds. My child loves going in, the team are great at keeping us updated and the facilities have really improved too. We now feel happy sending our child in every day knowing they are in great hands.

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Acre Wood Day Nursery

What a transformation story! We're over the moon that you've noticed such a positive change since our new management team took the reins. It's incredibly rewarding to hear that your child now loves coming in and is flourishing under our care. We've worked hard to create a warm, welcoming environment, and knowing that you feel confident and happy sending your child to us each day means the world. Thank you for sticking with us - we're so glad to have turned things around for you!

Our son has been at Acrewood since April 2022. Over the past two years there has been a change in management and many staff.
Whilst the nursery at the time was adequate and our son was happy, since the new manager took over the nursery is a different place. It welcomes parents to come inside, talk
with staff and see the children in their environment.
It is warm and welcoming. The displays are well kept and, despite the building being a little dated, they make the most of the facilities. The activities our son does are engaging, educational and stimulating. He has formed excellent relationships with all staff and children. We are very happy with his care and feel he is very safe whilst there. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work and efforts. Couldn't recommend it highly enough to anyone reading this review.

Can't fault the nursery at all, friendly, helpful staff with good facilities and a variety of activities to keep the children occupied. Would highly recommend as I get nothing but smiles every time I do the pick-up and very informative of everything they've been up to in the day, how they've done, what
they've eaten or not eaten! Any little bumps and an app to keep track of things too, great establishment.

Reply from Sid, Senior Marketing Executive at Acre Wood Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a good experience at our nursery and your appreciation for the updates on the app.

We are so pleased that Acre Wood was our choice for our little one. She has absolutely thrived since joining last year. She waves goodbye to us at the door now with no looking back which is the biggest reassurance for us. We love the updates and observations we get and it’s great to see that the staff
support communication through the use of sign language - we have to keep up with how much she knows! Thank you Acre Wood.

My son has been here since he was six months old, and I cannot fault the care he has received since being there. The staff are very friendly and excellent at communicating if anything has happened or is of interest. (And send me cute photos from time to time!) It has always been so nice knowing he was
in great hands! The facilities are nice, with actual grass outside and plenty for kids to get into. Management is present and involved, as well as quick at communication. If it wasn't for us moving, he would have stayed here! Will miss the team here.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.282)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.282) out of 10 for Acre Wood Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.698 for Acre Wood Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.698

  • 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 4.584 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acre Wood Day Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.784

  • 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.
