My daughter attended Cuddles from when she was 14 months old to when she started school and I have continued to use Cuddles holiday club facilities. They have been absolutely fantastic with my daughter and she loves going back to Cuddles especially seeing the staff that used to look after her when
she was little. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cuddles, for my daughter it was like a second home. The staff and management are always helpful, the facilities are fantastic, and they always put on excellent activities for the children especially in the holiday club. I can't thank Cuddles enough for the support they gave to me and for the wonderful job they did of looking after my daughter.

I would highly recommend Cuddles to anyone. I was looking for a Nursery for my Autistic son were his needs would be fully supported and he has all the support he could possibly need at Cuddles. He has attended the nursery for over a year now and all his needs are always accommodated. The staff are very
helpful and supportive and I will be sad when he leaves the nursery to start school next year.

Enrolling your child into nursery for the first time is a very nerve racking and emotional time for both the child and the parents. I felt that Cuddle's made this time a lot easier by always being friendly and ensuring me that my daughter is getting the best care. I looked at a few nurseries in the
area and as soon as I saw Cuddles, I realised that this was the nursery I wanted my daughter to attend.
The nursery has amazing facilities, play areas and the staff are always friendly, telling me about my daughters day and the little things like funny comments she makes. My daughter thoroughly enjoys it at Cuddles and this gives me peace of mind when I leave her there, definitely a great nursery!

Fantastic nursery I would highly recommend. Staff are brilliant, my son loves attending and you really feel the staff are so dedicated and take so much time to individually see to the child's needs. The admin side is fantastic, very thorough and any problems are always acted on immediately or asap.
Lots of space for the children to play and have free time. Great nursery 10/10.

Sophia joined Cuddles in April 2014. Sophia is and always has been a confident child, however, was not used to being without me and therefore struggled with being left. The staff were incredible at dealing with her when she got upset and always managed to calm her down. I honestly do not have a negative
comment to make about Cuddles. The staff are amazing both in class and in the office. The facilities, activities, cleanliness are excellent. I have, and will continue to, recommend it as a nursery, and will be sending my youngest there. Sophia is so sad to leave and will miss the staff very much.

Every time I pick my oldest up he says he has had such a good day and doesn't want to leave. On the days he doesn't have nursery he complains and asks if he can go any way. My youngest doesn't start till September and he always cries when we leave and says please stay as he wants to stay and play at
Cuddles. Both my children love Cuddles and all the staff, what more could I ask for.

Amazing place. Staff are fantastic, they really get to know your child personally. Facilities are wonderful. My daughter has come on really well since being at pre-school, she loves going in and everybody always talks about the practitioners in her room. I honestly can't fault Cuddles Canford Heath.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.291)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.291) out of 10 for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 19 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 4.876 for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.876

  • 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 4.415 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Canford Heath) is based on 19 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 229 number of registered child places is 45.8. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 45.8 = 0.415

  • 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.
