My son started there just after a year old. Cuddles Day Nursery have always been fantastic with him and it was like his second home. He was later assessed as have SEN and all the staff at Cuddles went out of their way to help him achieve goals and make progress. He still goes there now for holiday club
because he loves it so much! It makes a huge difference as a mum to find a nursery that is not only caring but wants the best for your child.

Both my daughter and son attended Cuddles Day Nursery and they both thrived and learnt massive amounts of new skills and tools to help them when they started school. The staff are so brilliant and are always on hand to help in any situation, they are so great with the children. I am so glad my children
had to chance to attend such an amazing nursery, and they both miss going so much but because of Cuddles amazing work, they are both doing brilliantly at school!

My son really enjoyed his time at Cuddles Day Nursery. They have excellent facilities and great staff, both male and female which I feel give the children greater opportunities developing interpersonal skills. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Cuddles Day Nursery to other parents of preschoolers or out
of term children's club.

One of the best nurseries. Everyone so friendly. Very helpful. My son enjoys so much every time he goes there. He learned so much since he started last year. He made a lot of friends in the nursery. Every time we need help the nursery always try their best to help us and kids. Every teacher there is
very friendly and caring. They're doing an excellent job there.

All the staff are fantastic, my son thoroughly enjoyed himself there and often asks when he is going back. From 'little boots' to 'wilys' he always had teachers and staff he liked. I even became a bit attached myself. Lovely friendly staff well-done Cuddles xx

My little girl has been at Cuddles for nearly a year now and has loved every minute! I can't thank the staff enough, they are simply amazing and go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and settled whilst in their care. The experiences and opportunities that my daughter has at Cuddles
are excellent and have helped her development in leaps and bounds. I have recommended Cuddles to all of my mummy friends because knowing your child is safe and well cared for whilst in child care is THE most important thing and I know that this nursery provides this and more!

I was a little anxious at first about using breakfast club, mainly because my daughter had not long started school and this was another new thing to get used to. I was soon confident that this was a fantastic experience for both my children. The staff are always happy and welcoming and made them feel
welcome from day one. I could rest assured that they would both be dropped off at school on time and they were always excited about going in the next morning. The big selling point was that I could drop them off at 7.45am and have plenty of time to do my commute to work. A positive experience for everyone. Thank you Cuddles Parkstone.

This was my son's first experience of cuddles when he joined for summer club! He enjoyed his time and said the staff were nice and looked after him well. He had fun on the days out he participated in but felt the activities at cuddles sounded more exciting in the booking form than they actually were.
From my perspective, I knew he would be safe and well cared for and got to try out some new experiences and make some new friends. He was happy to go each time and was always engrossed in an activity when I picked him up. My only negative comment would be, that as a 'newbie', I wasn't aware that they didn't stay at Parkstone but went off to Candford Heath each day which meant they often did come back until 5/5.30 and I was left sitting in the car for an hour or more, however, this club enabled me to go to work during the long school holidays, so thank you Cuddles and we will hopefully see you again soon.

Had our first child at Cuddles some years back and were extremely happy with the care and great staff that we now have our second child there while our now older first child also goes to breakfast and after school clubs there. Cuddles is friendly, clean and knowledgeable of your child's requirements
and needs and our kids love it there.

My daughter has been going to Cuddles Day Nursery Parkstone since she was 14 months old, she is now nearing two and by the smile on her face at the end of each day there, I can tell she has thoroughly enjoyed herself. She is always so happy to see the staff, they are friendly, helpful and extremely
welcoming, which gives you that reassurance you need when your leaving your precious little one for the day.


The end of term reports are really impressive, they contain all of your child's learning achievements, goals to be worked towards and plenty of pictures to show what they've been up to, so lovely!


Every day is filled with activities indoor and outdoor, including watching the ducks hatch and grow up, trips to parks, crafts and painting to name a few! It's nice that you get to hear at the end of the day what they have been up to, eating, sleeping etc.


I could not fault Cuddles, everyone involved does a fantastic job!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.793)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.793) out of 10 for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Parkstone) 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.960 for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Parkstone) is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.96

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cuddles Day Nursery Ltd (Parkstone) 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.8 = 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.
