Both my children started at this nursery as babies and I have recommended it to friends based on our experience. Both children love to go and race in! The staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is friendly, fun and caring. They've accommodated our reusable nappies and they
are always approachable for a chat and progress updates. The key workers know the kids really well and have great relationships with them, even when they are not key workers! Staff and management have been helpful and professional throughout the Covid-19 situation and have zero issues with care and safety which is in place. Enrichment sessions with Forest School, music and outings have been great for the kids. I have found both play and the things which they have learnt at nursery or at home, such as table manners, songs and reciting rules is from Forest School. I loved that there is opportunity to go outside daily in all weather, which isn't available to other nurseries in Cheltenham. The parent app has been excellent for us.

Our children have both loved being at this nursery and come home with fun stories and crafts. For us, it has been great to know that they are in such a caring, stimulating and safe environment. We also really like the reports and 'moments' we get through the app!

Our child has attended this nursery for the past two years and I have been continually impressed with the nursery, in particular over the last twelve months of the pandemic. Every staff member clearly loves the children and it shows. The communication from the nursery has been amazing, we love getting
photos through the app, especially now that we aren't able to go inside the nursery due to Covid-19. The team supported us at home when the nursery was shut, sending us ideas for activities and videos of the staff reading stories. We have felt safe sending our child back as soon as it was open, the measures in place have been scrupulously followed and we would have been lost without this provision during a trying year. The management team have been really receptive to feedback, working with me and involving me in improving the menu for lunches, which is varied and interesting for the children. The best thing is, our child simply loves going to nursery, he is excited every day.

My children joined the nursery 3 months ago, and honestly, the settling in couldn’t have gone any better. Everyone at the nursery has been so supportive and welcoming to the children and us parents too. In a matter of days both my kids have settled into their new routine and surroundings beautifully.
I receive daily updates, pictures and videos on how they are doing on the nursery's mobile app which is so reassuring, and it’s a great tool to communicate with the key persons too. I especially love the big open plan rooms which have lots of little play areas – including a snack station where kids can pay with play money for their snacks which is just so cute. The preschool kids go to forest school once a week which my daughter adores. I would really recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nursery setting, we couldn’t be happier there.

I have been very impressed with this nursery right from day one. Both my children are in attendance at the nursery and the staff are nothing but friendly and caring, towards both the children in their care and their parents. The staff offer a varied programme of activities for the children, developing
different skills according to their age and ability. My son, in particular, has flourished while attending, from learning things like his shapes, colours, numbers etc to emotional skills and how to turn take, share etc. I highly recommend this nursery and can't fault the staff.

This is a fantastic nurturing nursery. I’ve seen both my children flourish here from 12 months up to starting school. The attention to detail is second to none and the quality of provision outstanding. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a caring supportive setting which
goes above and beyond to enable children to settle, feel ‘at home’, make friends, learn and develop in all areas. Thank you to the team!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for My Ohana Cheltenham Nursery 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 5.000 for My Ohana Cheltenham Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 5

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for My Ohana Cheltenham Nursery is based on 13 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
