Circus is a very special setting and a wonderful environment for children to play, grow and learn. I was nervous leaving my daughter when I returned to work but the fantastic staff at Circus put my mind at ease and helped my daughter settle very quickly.
My daughter absolutely loves the nursery and
the staff, and is excited to go there each day. As parents we find the staff professional, supportive, helpful, nurturing, and caring. The management are also fantastic, very accommodating and even make the effort to get to know each child.
The outdoor space is a real plus and my daughter loves to play in the garden there.
I am constantly impressed by the ideas the staff come up with to teach the children new things, they do the activities in such a variety of ways like crafts, messy play, painting, songs, with books etc etc. They are very inventive and make learning fun for the children.
Circus is a very special place and I am so happy with the level of care my daughter receives there.

The staff at Circus Day Nursery have been fantastic from day one! They have really helped our little boy to settle and listened to what we felt he needed, our concerns and our preferences for him. You can tell that all the staff really form a both with your child. They engage them in a range of different
activities to support their development and figure out what each child enjoys.
This month we've been really pleased that the staff have worked with my child to figure out a way to get him to drink more of his milk as he had previously been quite reluctant. It is great that they have been patient and preserved with trying different ways to encourage him until they found a routine that works for him.

My son is flourishing in the Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school environment. When we first applied to the nursery, we were unaware that he had additional special needs. Upon his diagnosis, we asked if nursery would still be able to accommodate him and they made no hesitation in taking him in. Since day
one, they have worked extremely closely with us as parents, and all of his SEN / NHS support workers.
He has required special feeding techniques, which the nursery obtained all their training in to support him. Therapists have attended nursery and worked with the team, and all reports have returned that his key workers are doing everything as recommended and he is thriving.
We initially had some doubts as to how he would cope in nursery but he is developing well beyond anything we could've hoped for, and I put this down to the support Circus has offered us.

Reply from Sue Wilson, Proprietor at Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your review and supportive words. I'm thrilled to hear how well your son is thriving and how well our staff team and setting have supported you as a family. The management are extremely passionate and their dedication permeates throughout to the leaders and staff team. Your inspiring words will be shared with everyone and are very much appreciated.

The experiences and care my son has received during his whole journey has been phenomenal and every staff member that I have had the pleasure of interacting with has been wonderful. I am always getting updates about all of the wonderful things he is doing and he is always so engaged and excited. He
has done everything you could think of from exploring everyday life, baking, learning about how to care for the in-house animals, forest school, sensory play, dancing and singing and so much more. He has always been so happy to run through the doors of nursery and I knew since the moment I viewed the nursery it was the perfect setting for our family. We love the use of the outdoor space, we love the dedication to get the children outside as much we possible, we love the family vibe that is created at circus, we love all the variety of food offered on the menu and we love the ever changing library.

My son raises my granddaughter alone & was very nervous about nursery so we saw several and Circus was really the only choice, nothing else came close.
He faced the normal first-day nerves but the only tears were his, she went in happy from day one & within a few weeks she was happy as soon as we mentioned
school. She goes in happy and is always lost in play whenever we arrive to collect.
Their kitchen is fantastic, everything is cooked on-site & the aroma of proper food often greets me at the door. It's even better knowing it's from a local small business such as the best butcher in the area.
She seems to be learning a dozen words a day, lots of songs and dances. And best of all no screens!
She's been poorly this week & it's a huge peace of mind to know she's somewhere where the staff are not overstretched and can provide such great care
So many activities and games, time outside every day & best two words ever: secret garden!
Couldn't recommend any higher-star, staff, safety, food & care.

Both of my children attended Circus and the care they provide is just amazing. The nurturing they provide as babies, the development and care they provide from babies through toddlers and to preschool is exemplary and the preparation they provide in preschool for school is just outstanding. We are so
grateful to Circus.

My daughter has been attending Circus Day Nursery since January 2024 and she absolutely loves it there. She was a little shy when starting, but has quickly found her confidence. She has made friends and also talks highly of the staff. She loves spending time in the lovely outside areas they have at
the nursery. The staff are so friendly and easy to approach if you have any concerns over anything. Her older brother also attended this nursery and loves coming to visit all the staff, who always say hello to him. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

My daughter started nursery a couple of months ago and her confidence has grown so much since. She enjoys many varied activities that we wouldn't be able to do at home. The staff have been amazing. We are being kept up to date with pictures of her day and detailed reports at pick-up time. Knowing she
is well looked after and has fun with her new friends makes a big difference to us.

We chose to place our son in the nursery on the basis of its lovely atmosphere, gardens, reputation, and proximity to home.
As an only child with other family members living far away, we felt it was important that he experienced a social environment.
I am astounded at his progress, especially his
linguistic skills, and would like to thank all the staff of this nursery for their part in this.

She clearly has a lot of fun when she’s there and she’s also learnt so much in the past three months since she’s started. I can highly recommend say Cirus Nursery, the staff is loving and caring and

The baby room has been such a fantastic place for my little ones to thrive; they come home full of joy and it is obvious they have had the best care and learning during their stay. Outside play, crafts, and group learning have captured their imagination in developing and creating a confidence and sense
of self that is all down to the great team at Circus Nursey.

Management is absolutely awful, no communication regarding safeguarding issues. The manager refused to speak on the phone and sent a snotty email full of lies. Would not send your child here whatsoever, awful manager and awful Ofsted report. The nursery tried to safeguard for child going in with a bump
but when my child came home with a huge bump and no incident form or communication regarding the bump it was absolutely okay.

Reply from Sue Wilson, Proprietor at Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you, we take all feedback seriously. Safeguarding policies are followed at all times, ensuring the welfare of all families, and collaborating with MASH. Our inspection highlights safeguarding arrangements effective. Staff are first aid/safeguard trained with 5 DSL's, above OFSTED requirement. Accidents are treated by a paediatric FA and relevant information is recorded/signed. Parent sign the form, and a copy is kept/logged as H&S incident. Inclusively we follow the graduated pathway with professionals/agencies to support family and review progress. External support was referred for housing/support worker, requested by this parent. Flexible to family's needs to rearrange meetings at short notice. The safeguarding policy is available on our website. A conflict policy is in place as we don't tolerate shouting/swearing and a referral to MASH is considered to protect staff when policy is breached. We work closely with the Early Years team, sorry your experience did not meet your expectations.

As a family, we have loved our boys being at Circus. They started during Covid and, from the first day till their last, we have been blown away by how the Circus staff have nurtured, encouraged and loved our boys. They have significantly contributed to the boys they are today and we could not be more
grateful or thankful to the staff. As a parent who works, you are always so torn to leave your children, but time and time again I have known they are safe and cared for so well. Be it when they are ill or at drop-off, I know they are in the best place, next to being with us. So grateful to you all.

My son has been with Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school for nearly 12 months now and absolutely loves it. This is the second nursery he has attended after he didn’t settle in the first, so I was very nervous about starting again. But the team are incredible and he’s thrived since joining. He’s been in
the baby suite and most recently Clowns and every member of staff is brilliant. Entrusting your baby to other people is hard, but I would recommend Circus to everyone!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.579)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.579) out of 10 for Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 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 4.865 for Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.865

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Circus Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 17 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 119 number of registered child places is 23.8. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.8 = 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.
