My daughter has grown in confidence since starting. She always completes a range of activities throughout the day. Communication with parents throughout the day is also an added bonus. I’m so glad I chose this setting for my daughter to attend.

BarBar Nursery Ltd - Stroud is a great nursery. Both my children, aged one and two and a half, go there and have a really good relationship with the staff. They do interesting activities and keep parents well updated on the app.

BarBar Nursery is a very warm-hearted and caring place for a child to attend in their young years. My daughter started only three months ago but every day she cannot wait to run into nursery, full of enthusiasm and confidence. She has a great bond with her key carer and I’m so lucky to be able to leave
her somewhere safe, happy and cared for while I work.

Absolutely great nursery! The staff are always really friendly and give good handovers at pick-ups. Always seem so knowledgeable. My children have been attending for over two years now and have learnt and grown so much in this time, with the help of this nursery.

I genuinely cannot fault BarBar! They treat every child there as an individual and take the time to settle them in. They always provide feedback at the end of every session with very regular app updates for added reassurance. My toddler has learnt so much already! They always have fantastic sensory
activities, free play and lots of outdoor time.

Our daughter has been at BarBar for nearly a year now, and we couldn't be happier. She has settled so well, and the staff are simply amazing. The baby room has been brilliant for her, and she has been so well looked after. She is now transitioning down to the main room, which is going well, and she
loves the outdoor space and slide. We feel really lucky to have found BarBars and couldn't recommend it enough! Thank you!

After looking around the Stroud area at nurseries, the moment I have been presented with BarBar Nursery by a member of the staff I fell in love with the staff. Very polite, accommodating to every need that my little one has, always smiling, lots of fun activities for the little ones and very attentive
and careful with the children. Thank you!

My daughter has just started nursery and has now been here for 3 months. The staff have been amazing. They are kind, considerate and attentive. They do regular activities and always keep me updated on her progress. Needless to say, she absolutely loves nursery and goes with a smile on her face, which
is a credit to the staff and the atmosphere they've created. She's learnt lots of skills including eating and dance moves.

My son started his adventure with Bar Bar Nursery in February and at the beginning, it was very hard for him but the kindness and professionalism of all the lovely staff working there made his adjustment easier. I am so impressed with his development. I love the app that provides updates during the
day, so when I am at work my mind is at ease seeing that my baby boy is all fine.

Our daughter loves attending BarBar Nursery Ltd. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, it’s clear that they enjoy working with the children and our daughter loves attending.
Like children do from time to time, she doesn’t always want to leave us for the day but the staff always encourage and
support her on those days. She always leaves with a big smile on her face which is a sign of how much fun she’s had. They’ve really helped with her learning and development, she’s becoming a confident and happy child because of the work that everyone in the nursery does.

I am very impressed with the high standard of care and learning within the setting in both the pre-school room and the baby room. The staff here are warm, friendly and eager to offer advice at every opportunity. My youngest child has recently started at the setting and already appears happy and smiley
at both drop-off and pick up. I also have another child at this setting who has great attachments with the staff here.

I put my children into BarBar as it was the closest nursery to me. I am over impressed with the nursery and the staff are fantastic! Both my children are always excited to go to nursery and are always really happy when I pick them up.
My eldest has come on so much with her personal care and overcoming
some anxieties she has. The staff have been so supportive of her.

Our daughter has settled back in well after the Christmas break, she even reaches out to a certain member of staff which is extremely reassuring. We love seeing the updates which we receive via the app, it shows a time plan of every detail so we know what’s she has eaten etc, it also uploads photos
so we can see what our daughter is getting up to during her time at nursery. We notice that her time at nursery certainly has had a big impact on her overall development.

My son enjoys every day at Barbar's. There are always numerous activities happening indoors and outdoors. He often asks to come on a weekend when nursery is closed because he enjoys it so much. His confidence has improved so much and has some lovely friends. Staff have so much patience and are warm
and friendly.

Our daughter has been with the baby room since she was 14 weeks old. The care and attention to her development and growth have been fantastic. She's become a very confident little girl with a zest for learning, thanks to the amazing staff. It's also been a real pleasure having such open and honest dialogue
between the key workers and parents.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.319)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.319) out of 10 for BarBar Nursery Ltd - Stroud 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.905 for BarBar Nursery Ltd - Stroud is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 4.414 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for BarBar Nursery Ltd - Stroud is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.714

  • 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.
