Nursery Days is fully and beautifully refurbished and now has large natural playgrounds.

It is based within the grounds of The Old School in the rural village of Upchurch close to Rainham, Sittingbourne and Gillingham. Nursery Days offers childcare for 3 months to 5 years.

Individuality is celebrated, and through observations and discussions with parents and carers, is something that really ensures children's time at Nursery Days is based on their interests and personal needs.

A highly qualified, experienced and skilled staff team, include qualified teachers who are dedicated to continually enabling children to feel confident and secure at Nursery Days.

Indoors, Nursery days is a well designed homely environment that promotes emotional well-being, togetherness and friendship. Here children can feel comfortable to snuggle down or explore with confidence, and will always be at home.

Outdoors, Nursery Days experimental playground is an extra asset to the nursery. The children also get to experience a natural learning adventure at daily forest school (with a nursery forest school leader) at their private orchard which is local to the nursery.

Nursery Days has a highly qualified and experienced cook to prepare fresh and healthy food daily for the children. The heartwarming home-cooked lunches, snacks, breakfast and tea use locally farmed fruit and vegetables.

Both of my children attended this nursery a few years apart and even though new staff have joined, the standard of care you get has never gone below outstanding. Both children were so happy here and I would recommend this nursery to anyone. A really lovely environment for children to enjoy and flourish.

My son started at Nursery Days when he was 9 months old. He is now due to start school in September. All the staff at Nursery Days are really nice, helpful and supportive of my son's developments. I highly recommend Nursery Days and would without a doubt use them again in the future should I need to.

We are very pleased with the care that our son receives at Nursery Days.
He absolutely loves going into the nursery and we see via Tapestry all of the excellent activities he is able to take part in.
Since his time there he has been supported by his key workers brilliantly and especially of late
with additional support for his speech and language development.
We are looking forward to our daughter starting there too in a few months!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for Nursery Days 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.986 for Nursery Days is calculated as follows: ( (497 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 504 Ratings = 4.986

  • 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 Nursery Days is based on 42 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 42 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.
