Lovely, friendly staff. Good communication with parents, telling us what children are getting up to each week. Home learning tasks are provided, and children get to send in pictures to share their experiences with the class. Healthy meals and snacks are provided daily, and the nursery shares how much/little
they have eaten, along with naps and accidents, via the app, which is really helpful. My daughter really enjoys it and is making excellent progress.

We have been really impressed by Spring Nursery Milecross. The staff are caring and responsive and have really helped our child settle.
They provided for his dietary needs without difficulty, and when he was struggling with separation, they got his favourite toys out to help him acclimatise.

This nursery is the most wonderful place where I could put my son in. All the staff are absolutely amazing, very helpful, caring and friendly. My son loves this nursery. I never thought that he would engage so quick and would be able to speak so fast in English. The nursery staff supported him to get
confident and supported him a lot. The best nursery in the area. Congratulations to all the staff!

My son has been going to the nursery for around 3-months now. His confidence has grown tremendously, and he always comes home saying what an amazing time he has had at nursery.
The staff are always very friendly and approachable and always take the time to tell me what he has been up to whilst there.
I love that the nursery is child-led, and they are able to choose what to play with. I am overall really impressed with the care my son receives at Spring.

I could not recommend Spring enough. The staff are so attentive, friendly and form lovely relationships with the children. After my eldest left and hearing her talk so fondly of every part of her tike there, it was an easy choice to send my 10-month-old too; she has only recently started and is already
so happy and settled. It's lovely to see and certainly helped ease my mind before returning to work. The staff really do go above and beyond all expectations

My little girl started here in August/September. She has settled in very well and enjoys going here. All the staff go above and beyond to help with everything and any questions I may have.
My little girl has hit so many milestones since starting, which has been lovely to see.

My 22-months-old baby girl has attended the nursery since July 2020, and she seems to be happy. The chef is great, as she is eating almost all her meals, and all the staff have been putting in a great effort, so we can carry on as normal in these difficult Covid times.

Both my children have enjoyed their time at Spring Nursery, my youngest is now moving on to school, and we will be very sad to leave! The nursery team have been fantastic, always very welcoming and friendly. They have cared for my daughter's additional needs very well, also ensuring that she has what
she needs.

Friendly, approachable staff members. My son, who has additional needs has been well cared for by the staff, and as a result of attending Spring Nursery, his social skills and speech have greatly improved.
The app is a great way of keeping in touch and being notified of your child's activities and
progress.
I would definitely recommend Spring Nursery to anyone looking for a placement for their child.

Since entering Milecross nursery, my child did develop significantly. Her speech is so much better now. I'm deeply grateful to all staff for their excellent work and support throughout these months. The staff cared for my daughter with all the compassion and professionalism needed.
Many thanks to all.

My son has been going to Spring for roughly ten months now and he loves it. The facilities are great, including the outside space, it is small, but they have made the most of the space. The app is great for keeping up to date with events, the lovely recipes and your childs development. There is a fantastic
range of activities and toys etc. The staff are brilliant, very approachable and obviously have a passion for what they do. It is a shame that the funding doesn't cover the cost of the food as this does add to financial strain for some.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Spring Nursery have made my son feel extremely welcome from his first day and he has settled really quickly. My son even had a short break from the nursery and returned back without it bothering him because he always has such a great time at Spring and is always cared for by the same staff that he knows
really well, providing continuity. He absolutely loves his time at Spring and chats about the nursery all the time, telling me about what he does. The staff are really accommodating to the child's needs, with toilet training support and during nap time etc. My son will be very sad to leave Spring Nursery and I would definitely recommend it if anyone asked for feedback. Thanks for giving my son great opportunities and lots of fun during his time at the Nursery.

My daughter has attended a few short sessions to 'settle in'. So far she has had a great time and when I leave her I know that she is in good hands. She all smiles when I pick her up.
I have no reservations about leaving her on her first full day of nursery. The staff are also really lovely.

I have two children at this nursery - a one-year-old and a four-year-old, who has been there since 9 months of age. Both children are very settled and happy. The staff are brilliant and feel like an extension of the family as they are very caring and invested in the children. We will be very sad when
our oldest finishes.

I can't fault this nursery. I love how they keep me up to date with everything they're doing with my daughter, the way they encourage her to do things. The staff are very pleasant, my daughter talks about them all the time, she can't wait to go each day. I also love the app, so I can see what she's

Both my children have been at this nursery from the age of nine months. We looked at many different nurseries the first time around but none of them compared to Spring. All the nursery nurses are lovely and kind and made me feel at ease leaving my babies there whilst I went back to work. My eldest daughter
has just finished at the preschool and gone up to big school but Spring have done such a great job in helping get her ready for school. If anyone is looking for a nursery/preschool I would definitely recommend Spring.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Milecross 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.948 for Spring Nursery Milecross is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.948

  • 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 Spring Nursery Milecross is based on 16 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
