My child has been going to this nursery since 2020. He absolutely loves it! Staff are kind and friendly and really help your child to grow. They do lots of fun things with the children. Lots of arts and crafts that the children take home.
10/10 for me!

In May, the nursery organised a basic life support training for parents which was delivered by two parents who were health professionals.
This training was the brainchild of the nursery in order to give us the necessary skills to support and protect our children.
As part of the training, the trainers
also covered various childhood diseases and how to prevent and treat them.
For this and many more reasons, 1st Friends Day Nursery has gone over and beyond what we pay for. Oh and before I forget, the nursery staff were in on the Saturday of the training to take care of our children while we were in the training. I can't thank them enough really. They deserve more than five stars.

Reply from Mary Eleftheriou, Owner at 1st Friends Day Nursery and Crèche

Thank you.
I'm glad you found the training useful. As you know, we are always here for support and advice, with the odd training session thrown in.

My daughter has been with the nursery since she was 10 months old and she is due to leave this summer to start school.
First and foremost, our daughter has been nothing but happy there. She will always tell us about her day and the things she’s been up to. From when she was small, the staff would
tell us about her day, let us know if there were any issues. If she was to have toilet accidents, she would always be handed back to me clean with an explanation of what happened and when etc.
The variety of the activities they do is amazing. My daughter is always coming home with pictures and creations she has made!
The nursery also holds events such as a Christmas play, first aider courses and many more! It’s not just a nursery, you are just part of a little family there too.
For us as full-time working parents, the nursery has been nothing but flexible and accommodating for us and that we are very grateful for.
I am just gutted I didn’t find this nursery for my eldest son!

Reply from Mary Eleftheriou, Owner at 1st Friends Day Nursery and Crèche

Thank you.
Can not believe how fast the time has gone. Tears will fall on her last day. However, we know she is ready to start her next adventure in school.
So, thank you for giving us the opportunity to welcome her into our little family.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.187)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.187) out of 10 for 1st Friends Day Nursery and Crèche 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 4 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 4.979 for 1st Friends Day Nursery and Crèche is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 4.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for 1st Friends Day Nursery and Crèche is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.833

  • 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.
