My son has been attending this nursery since 2023. And as his parent, I am pleased to share my review of Precious Times Day Nursery.
They have an enhanced play area(s) and classrooms, providing a safe and stimulating environment for all the kids.
Their staff are so attentive and caring, and make sure
each child individually receives attention. Which I think is beautiful.
They're really supportive and help encourage your child to grow in terms of speech development and behavioural skills.
Overall, I am more satisfied with the progress and care at Precious Times Day Nursery. And I hope this quick summary intrigues other parents to sign their kids up!

At first, the nursery was attentive and helpful. However, the children would come out with soaking wet clothing and even dry poo on my eldest. I removed my child as a member of staff shouted at him and the nursery seemed to just brush it under the carpet. We have now moved to another nursery and it
is amazing, can't fault it.

Professional and approachable, management are very thorough and responsive - needless to say this cascades down into the rest of the team.
Initially my 18-month-old baby attended, now I have 3/4 children in for breakfast club and holiday club.
The children continue to thrive and this is encouraged
by staff engagement and undertaken activities.
All my children have a specific diet which the nursery facilitates.

My daughter has been at Precious Times for the past two years since she was 10 months, and she loves it. The changes made by the new owners have been really thoughtful and positive. The staff are also super friendly and approachable. I do believe my daughter has thrived there and will continue to do
so through preschool.

All the staff are very welcoming, friendly and patient with the children. They have a good varied menu, which my daughter eats and enjoys.
They also do lots of activities, I would recommend this nursery, I have been to a few over the years and feel confident that they provide excellent care to children.

A fantastic place to send your child. The care they provide is second to none and my child is always excited to attend and spend time with his carer. His needs are always attended to, and they are always coming up with new and inventive ways to keep the children entertained and occupied. Highly recommend
this place.

Fantastic nursery!
My daughter has been coming here since she was 8 months old and in that time her early literacy, social, speech and language skills have come on leaps and bounds.
The communication and parent involvement are great and she runs straight in of the morning without a glance backwards.
She has developed lovely bonds with her friends and key workers and is ecstatic when she sees two particular members of staff and the fish.
I love that they try her with all different nutrient-dense foods and have had her feeding herself by 10 months old. The activities are above and beyond when following the EYF.
Highly recommended.

Precious Times Day Nursery has truly exceeded my expectations, offering a safe, fun, and educational space for children to thrive. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere put me at ease. The combination of a dedicated staff, a spacious garden, and the opportunity for kids to
interact with animals creates an enriching experience that's hard to match. I'm grateful to have found it for my son's early years.
Located in a convenient spot, the nursery staff are lovely and it has a cosy environment. What truly stands out is the expansive garden area that provides space for children to play and explore.
One unique aspect that captured my son's heart (and mine) is the presence of friendly pet animals. The joy on his face when he interacts with them is simply priceless. This nurturing environment encourages a deep connection to nature and animals, fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy. His favourites were the little baby ducks!

I would highly recommend this nursery, my son has attended here since October 2021 and the staff there have never been anything other than brilliant with him. He always comes home happy and tells me all about the fun that he has had during the day. His progress and development since he has been there
has come on leaps and bounds and the skills that he has gained are going to help him massively when going to school in September. I cannot thank the staff enough for the time and dedication they have shown in providing such a caring and safe environment that my son has truly thrived in.

My daughter has been going here for three years and it was taken over one year ago. The changes they've made have been really positive. The staff are really enthusiastic and care about my daughter. They do loads of great activities and I really appreciate having a term time only day nursery. My daughter
loves going to nursery and I would definitely recommend it.

My son has been at nursery for 4 months he is now 7 months young. He loves the staff who regularly update us on progress in development through pictures and videos and chatting with us. This August I needed care for my 6-year-old too and the nursery has accommodated this through their holiday club which
we are truly thankful for it makes our lives so much easier, we rate and recommend Precious Times highly, it's a great setting with lots to do. New experiences and are now an extended part of our family, thank you to all.

Really good nursery, they do everything possible for my baby. He has developed so well since being there.
My son has learned to crawl at nursey, he loves all of the staff there, some days he just does not want to come home. Honestly could not ask for a better nursery for him than this one.

My daughter has attended the nursery nearly 2 years and is absolutely thriving. After a bad experience with a childminder we were apprehensive of how she would get on but from the first day she has loved it. We receive thorough handovers of her day, she has fantastic meals and has so much fun! There
is a wonderful outdoor space as well as plenty of enrichment indoors. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and approachable and the owners are also very present. She learns so much at nursery and really enjoys her days there.

Excellent nursery. My son has been here for nearly a year now. The staff are warm and friendly and always go the extra mile to make sure that everything is ok. It's a really welcoming nursery and they really care about the children. A bonus is the garden, a lovely large outdoor space.

This nursery is a fabulous place, from as soon as I walked in I could tell it was the one for my daughter. The staff are so genuine and kind, the nursery is very clean and exciting, all the rooms are great. The garden is also Brilliant, so large and so much to do, I can tell in the summer they have
so much fun, they have their own chef, who cooks delicious food. It is very clear to see that they really do care. I visited lots of nursery's and the standards were very low, not clean, hygiene of the children wasn't good, funny feeling they were a bit fake as if put on for me. I was beginning to think I would never find what I consider a great nursery. I can tell this nursery is fabulous, she didn't cry like at the other ones, she ran off to play and only got upset because we had to come home. You must visit, it looks very small from the front, but it isn't. And the large garden is wonderful and I can tell great fun is had here.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.764)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.764) out of 10 for Precious Times Day 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.764 for Precious Times Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.764

  • 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 Precious Times Day Nursery 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
