My daughter has been in St Paul's Nursery for almost a year or maybe more and she is happy with the staff and the other children. I never hear any complaints about the nursery she is happy and I am happy as well.

The care provided by St Paul's Nursery is a cut above the rest. As soon as you walk into the centre, you are made to feel welcome, at home and part of a community. The staff are all exceptionally experienced, really well trained and above all very caring about the children they look after and their
families. My son really enjoys coming to the nursery at St Paul's and adores the staff in the caterpillar room, especially his key worker. St Paul's are one of the few nurseries I've come across to employ male staff, I feel this is of such benefit to all the children to have great male role models from a young age. The children all adore the Little City Farm and visiting the animals. My son has learnt all the names of the animals and the sounds they make. Living in an urban area, without a garden, access to this lovely little farm makes a world of difference to us. I would not hesitate to recommend St Paul's to another parent - this organisation is truly one of a kind.

The nursery is very good, big and there is enough staff to look after all the children. My child loves attending nursery and is getting along well.


She is getting more creative and I am able to see my child developing, not just at nursery but also at home.


The nursery is really good and I am

very pleased.

It was great hearing about my daughter from her teacher. And I really enjoy watching my child play and have fun. I think there should be a lot more of these sessions, where parents can spend time in the school/nursery with their child.

The keyworker and colleagues assigned to our child in the baby room have gone above and beyond to ensure she has settled in.
She has bonded with her keyworkers and the other wonderful staff at the nursery, thanks to a gentle and baby led settling in period, which started with a clingy upset 12-month-old
to a happy playful and outgoing 13 month old. She is stimulated with play and outdoor activities, her meals are second to none, thanks to the freshly prepared menu.
I am very happy we chose St Paul's.

St Paul's Nursery is a high-quality nursery. My daughter has a specialised diet that the nursery has been able to adapt to and maintain. I am so grateful for the efforts made by the staff, particularly one who has shared her patience with my daughter and myself time after time. I want to say thank you
to all and would recommend this nursery to anyone.

This nursery feels like a family! My son loves it and I love being able to leave him there and be absolutely confident that he is well looked after.
My daughter went there previously as well and despite being a bit more nervous character, she loved it and always remembers her time spent there.

Every member of staff do their job with such passion, couldn't ask for a better nursery to take care of my children.
If only we could take them all home with us.
If I could rate them it would be 100%

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We have a staff team to be proud of - they are so very committed to the children and the setting.

The staff become family, my daughters loved it there! The support from all members of staff was outstanding. I really felt like it was more than just a care setting for my children. I was more upset about having to move my children to a childminder (due to a house move) than my daughter was. I will
always recommend this nursery! I have not one bad thing to say.

Reply from Tracey Newton, Nursery Lead Officer at St Paul's Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We work hard to provide a caring environment where both the children and parents are happy and confident, and it is good to hear when this is recognised. I will make sure that your comments are fed back to the staff team. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for St Paul's 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.847 for St Paul's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 4.948 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Paul's Nursery is based on 11 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.948

  • 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.
