Cuddles provide exceptional care, they are patient, kind and understanding.
They provide a fun, nurturing environment. My child looks forward to attending the holiday club and always has a good time.

We're really pleased with how our daughter has settled into the after-school club here, she gets picked up from school each day and is always happy when she gets home, even when she hasn't had any of her friends with her. The staff are cheerful, friendly and the office staff have always been very accommodating
when we have had a change of situation.
We also use the nursery for holiday clubs from time to time, and again, our daughter always has fun and looks forward to going in.
The only issue we've ever had is the occasional mis-communication between staff and ourselves over timings but this has always been resolved promptly. Overall, it's a weight off our minds knowing she is being cared for properly and having fun at the same time.

I have had a daughter attend Cuddles who is now at school and have a son who currently attends Cuddles and I really do recommend other mothers and fathers, if in doubt, to place your children here. On the children's first days of being at Cuddles, I had great worries as it was the first time I had left
them. The staff here were amazing and worked with us to get them settled and when settled, they enjoyed every day and every relationship they grew whilst there. My daughter is now at school and achieving above and beyond and using the tools she learned from Cuddles to grow. She has become more confident in herself with the help of the staff at Cuddles. My son still attends and looks forward to every day that he goes.

We use the holiday club at Cuddles and both my children aged 7 and 8 really enjoyed the days they went there over the summer. Friendly and fun staff and a good mix of activities and trips to keep them entertained. I would highly recommend the holiday club to others.

We just started in April so my review will be based on that. Not really much to say about it, my son settled in well, the staff helped him integrate :) The fact that he was able to have a toy with him makes him excited to go to the nursery. The interior is a bit poor, I would say it needs a bit of
modernisation (the furniture, computers, books etc.) Overall I'm pleased and hopefully my son will enjoy going to the nursery every day!

My girls began nursery at 11 months old and I felt very comfortable with leaving them in the care of the staff in the under 2's room. They were patient, professional and caring. Many varied activities are provided for the girls which cater for physical activity, arts and crafts and plenty of learning
opportunities. The staff also follow the routine the girls have at home. I would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.

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.
