Conkers is a superb nursery and my son had a wonderful time there. The setting is friendly and caring, with lovely staff who really care about each child. My son has thrived and made some wonderful friends. Flexible pick up and drop off times are great and I know I only need to pick up the phone or
email any requests or concerns. The variety of play and structured sessions has been great for my son's development in all areas. We will really miss Conkers and were very emotional when it was time to leave, as were the team. Highly recommended.

Both of my children come to Conkers Nursery School and absolutely thrive. I am an extremely anxious mum and spent a lot of time researching what nurseries would be the right fit for our family. The staff at Conkers have all been absolutely amazing. Everyone we have dealt with has been reassuring, patient
and knowledgeable. Everyone has been incredibly supportive, and patient with us as parents. One of my children has additional medical needs and the staff have been brilliant in dealing with anything. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Conkers to anyone. Our children are absolutely thriving, and happy!

Our son attended Conkers from eight months old, until starting school recently. The amazing team they have, undoubtedly helped him to become the kind, caring, polite, and sociable boy he is. His smooth transition to school is a testament to their professionalism and grasp of early years education so
that he has not only been able to get up to speed with everything he needs to but has also had amazing fun along the way. He never once wasn't anything less than excited about getting up and going to Conkers, and although he'll miss it, it has now hopefully given him the same enthusiasm for going to school.

Conkers Nursery is an amazing early-year education provider. The staff have been fabulous since our son started with them in September 2020. Throughout his 4 years there, he and we have been fully supported, kept informed of progress and most importantly, our son had fun. All the staff think nothing
of going above and beyond to provide a comforting experience for the children in their care.
I wholeheartedly recommend Conkers Nursery.

Both our children have attended Conkers, our daughter from 9 months has now left and is at school but the learnings and teaching she was given have prepared her well for School. Our son started at 6 months and is thriving. The staff have been so lovely and have become more than teachers to us. We will
be very sad next year when our son leaves to start school. A massive thank you to three members of staff who have been our main contacts over the years.

Having moved to the area in December 2023 we were delighted to have been able to have a one-day placement at Conkers. Our daughter settled quickly and loves attending. The level of care is amazing and small little details like making cookies to celebrate my daughter’s birthday just highlight what an
amazing nursery Conkers is. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and we are sad that we are off to Primary school soon and will have to say goodbye.

My daughter has been at this nursery for 3 months. We chose Conkers as they are able to take children younger than 2 years, she was 10 months when she started. In three months she has become more social with other children and has become very confident for her age, which I believe has come from her
time at nursery. I liked that there are separate rooms for the different age groups so the baby room is focused on appropriate activities for her age group. I cannot fault the care she has received since there, and I really like the app which updates me with what she has been doing during the day. The staff are friendly and caring, my daughter is happy to be handed over in the morning which I believe shows that she enjoys it there. She always comes home happy and in a good mood.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.676)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.676) out of 10 for Conkers Nursery 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 4.7 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 4.976 for Conkers Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Conkers Nursery 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 7 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.
