The manager and staff have always been really friendly, helpful and supportive. The atmosphere at the nursery is always welcoming and I've felt really happy and reassured she is there from day 1. My daughter's key worker is excellent - always smiling and takes an interest in how my daughter is doing,
as well as updating me. The App they use is great for finding out progress and seeing what she has been doing.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 12months old. All the staff have cared and taught her so much. It’s a lovely, warm atmosphere and the children are so happy. It’s lovely to see when I pick her up each day. Great to have a key worker for your child so updates are provided each
day and the app keeps us up to date on what’s going on.

The staff and management are caring, friendly and kind. My son loves coming to this nursery compared to previous settings he has attended. I would say this is his favourite. There have been a few instances where my son has come out of nursery with a dirty nappy but that's the only thing that could be
checked more often, other than that it's a lovely setting and I am very happy that I chose Spring Nursery Thorpe Hamlet. Thank you for all your ongoing care.

My son loved the nursery. He's been in nursery since he was a baby and now he is preschool. We really like the nursery, it's a safe place. Staff are really nice, friendly and always helpful. The chef is always cooking really good food. I would definitely recommend this place.
We will miss this place
and the staff when my son goes to school.

My son attends the nursery twice a week in the pre-school room. He loves it and always looks forward to his day and literally skips in! I know my son is safe and happy there and growing in confidence which is my main priority. There was one little issue which was quickly addressed by staff and management
and new procedures were put in place to help mine and other children. I chose this nursery as my working day is longer than most nurseries times so it was very convenient and close to mine and my parent's house.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

My grandson has recently moved here from a different nursery and he loves it. He looks forward to going and when I collect him he can't wait to go tell me about his day. He has learnt so much in the short time he has been here. The staff are all friendly caring and are attentive to the children's needs.
I would 100% recommend Spring Nursery for your little one.

I have been so happy with the nursery and how they have worked hard to get my baby settled, comfortable and familiar with his new surroundings. All staff have been so friendly, and the other babies/children that attend always seem so happy. I feel very pleased they were able to accept my son.

We moved into the area just over a year ago and looked around at several nurseries before settling for this one and we’re all very happy that we did.
The staff are wonderful, my child loves her time there and it really is a great nursery. I would and have, happily recommend the nursery to friends.

Our son just started here, but it seems great so far. They have a lot of outdoor space and activities for the children. The staff seem friendly and attentive, plus they use a decent system called “Famly” where you can see detailed updates on what your child is up to, in addition to photos and more.
My son seems very happy here too.

Our boy has been attending this nursery a little over 8 months and we are very pleased with how it's all going.
It took him a while to settle in initially, but the staff have all been amazing and always made us feel at ease when leaving him, even when he was upset.
He is now thriving there and will
often talk about the staff (especially his key person) and what they have been up to.
It's great to get updates on the Famly app and it feels like the staff are very on top of how our boy is developing, in terms of milestones and learning.
Would very much recommend this nursery.

A wonderful nursery full of exceptionally talented staff who really care about the children who attend the setting. Our children have benefited enormously from attending this setting. The staff are constantly looking for ways to improve their offering and actively seek to develop the children's interests.
Our son has complex allergies and they have gone above and beyond to accommodate his needs. My daughter also always says the nursery food is delicious!

Fantastic nursery. Lovely staff with a good family feel. Lots of engaging and educational toys and activities. In the toddler room, they have recently had a focus on space and really ignited a fascination with space in my son. Have recommended to several friends who have then sent their children and
are equally impressed.

My little boy has been here since September and I couldn't express how amazing they are with him. I have admitted my struggles with his behaviour and they have gone above and beyond to support me and him, he has come so far since being here and learnt so much! Couldn't fault the pre school room!

My son has been in this nursery for over a year now and absolutely loves attending his sessions 3x a week. All he talks about is his key worker (his best friend)?
Would highly recommend to anyone!

My son feels very comfortable and happy at the nursery here. Activities are led by his interests but incorporate a wide range of toys, games and crafts. My son is being well supported to prepare for school next year and really enjoys these learning times. The space is fairly small outside but has good
imaginative play toys to keep children engaged. Staff are friendly and communicate and interact well with my son and us at home.

My son started in a baby room, now he is preschool. I'm more than thankful for the staff and management. Always friendly and helpful. You can always have a little chat before you go home. The staff is involved in the child's development and doing different activities every day. I always pick up a happy
child.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Thorpe Hamlet 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.874 for Spring Nursery Thorpe Hamlet is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.874

  • 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 Thorpe Hamlet is based on 14 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
