The staff at Aldbourne Avenue Nursery were really committed to settling our girls into their new nursery. They made a real effort to get to know them as quickly as possible and make them feel safe and happy.
They've had regular parent's evenings to discuss their individual progress which has been really
informative and professional where key workers have clearly communicated excellent knowledge of our children.

Wonderful nursery, staff are kind and caring. Have sent both my children here! Great healthy food options and always clean and tidy! The garden is wonderful for the children to be in too. There are also French lessons and walks around the village, so plenty to learn. Excellent.

We are really pleased with The Avenue in Aldbourne. It is perfect for us as we can walk to it, and our daughter strolls in very happily three mornings a week. She has a few health considerations and the team have taken them on board and do not treat her any differently to the other children and happily
administer her meds without any fuss. There is always a cheery atmosphere and they seem to do lots of different entertaining activities.

It can be really awful leaving your baby with strangers but the Avenue staff made it easier. All the staff at the Avenue, Aldbourne are caring, lovely, friendly people. I think the children all love them. I think the food they provide is really good and my son loves it there.

Hands down, I recommend the Aldbourne Avenue day Nursery for your littleys.
As a first-time mum, I was very anxious to let my 17-month-old into someone else's care. Each member of staff is kind and friendly which, paired with a welcoming environment, was very reassuring. There is a parents' app where
they provide updates on what your nipper did/is doing throughout the day (nappy changes, what they ate, activities etc). Their website outlines the kids' 'menus' (which are prepared in-house) consisting of 3 balanced meals and snacks. Honestly, my sprog eats better than I do! This location has a large outdoor space in which the children can wander about and play every single day. Outside, they can play with trikes, climb the climbing frame or fiddle with the bark in tyres and so on. The staff provide play that helps with cognitive development too! Children get to investigate dry pasta and paint amongst other sensory items. I haven't seen any room for improvement so far. Very pleased!

Thank you to the manager and the team at the Avenue. Wonderful nursery and my little boy loves it very much. He is always smiling when I pick him up and his speech is really coming on well, as well as his confidence. Thank you all for providing such a wonderful fun, educational time at the nursery.
My little boy especially enjoys drawing and playtime outside. Highly recommend. The manager and another member of staff are particularly fantastic.

My little boy (2 years) has been at The Avenue for just over a year. He is so happy there that he runs in every morning without a backward glance. He chats about his carers and what he's been up to and his days always seem to be full of fun activities. They have an app to keep me up to date with what
he's been doing and eating, even though I get a good verbal update at the end of each day. The management have been very proactive in supporting my child's development and working with me on any concerns I have. I really feel that they care about each child and their individual needs. The nursery has such a lovely, friendly atmosphere and all the staff are so committed to the well-being of the children. I am so happy we decided to place our little boy at The Avenue.

My child attends the nursery and is always happy to hear he will be going to the nursery to see his key workers and friends. The staff are very knowledgeable in childcare and build wonderful connections with the children they care for. I feel confident that my child is well looked after and genuinely
happy when there. Communication is very good. We have a parents' app, Facebook page, email, parents evenings and daily in-person updates.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.965)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.965) out of 10 for Little Acorns Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.833 for Little Acorns Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 3.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Acorns Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.132

  • 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.
