My daughter stands up with a smile on her face and happily goes to the nursery. She really likes her teachers who really have a very good approach to children! With great regret, the adventure with my daughter's nursery is about to end and she goes to school! Thank you teachers for learning and having
fun! Our son begins his adventure with your nursery and thanks to the wonderful teachers he slowly accepts the new environment and returns home with a smile! The staff in this nursery are the most wonderful with a big heart, such aunts.

The team is doing great work. My daughter has been a pupil here for four weeks, and l can see the difference. I haven't regretted making this choice for her. Thanks a lot for the good work, and keep it up.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for two months now and already we see a big difference in her confidence and mannerisms. She has had problems with her speech and language and all the staff have been extremely involved and helpful with improving this, especially two members who are wonderful
as are the rest of the staff. You can tell the children are extremely well cared for and looked after here, I have no faults or concerns at all, my daughter loves going here and I’m sure she’ll continue to love it for the rest of the time she is there. The equipment and facilities are top notch and I couldn’t be happier that my daughter attends here.

Amazing nursery. The staff are great and friendly. My daughter loves it there; they are really good with the kids, plus you get pictures and videos of what your children have been up to, which is nice.

When my son first attended here, he had no confidence at all; his speech was so poor too. Now being here for over a year, he's come on so much all down to this nursery. His speech is brilliant, he learns so much, and his confidence is through the roof. The staff are brilliant and so supportive. Over
the past couple of months, my son has built such a great bond with one certain staff member, he adores her! Always talks about her, which is beautiful as it shows she's really good at her job making the children so relaxed around her. I'm a very happy mother.

My son has settled in very well, he looks forward to"school" (what we call it because of his big sis) and always seems happy when I show him the pictures you've sent me. I like that you keep me informed about his day and he always comes out really smiley. His speech has definitely come along.

Amazing nursery. There is no denying that the staff here are all very passionate about the children. I would highly recommend Tipton Nursery to anyone. The staff have always been so warm, welcoming and informative. My child feels valued here and talks about nursery with such joy even on the days she's
not there, that's how much she loves it. Any questions I've had have always been answered. The feedback received in regard to learning and the next steps has always been very positive since she started. If there were more than 5* that I could give for them I would because they are truly such a lovely team who take pride in their roles, and it definitely goes to show because my child always comes home happy to talk about her nursery experiences.

Great experience, my daughter settled in really well. Staff are friendly, also kept me informed with daily activities and information about my daughter. Love that they use an app to send out information straight away. My daughter always comes out of the nursery with a smile on her face.

My son joined in September 2019. He has settled in really well with the support of the staff and other children. His speech is improving and he is learning so many new things. He is socialising better. The nursery itself is a lovely and welcoming place, where I feel my child is safe and looked after.

I cannot fault the staff, they have been a delight and have helped my daughter grow into a lovely young lady. She has loved her time here and has made some great friends. My only gripe is the lack of communication from management. I don't believe process changes/events are communicated effectively.
This is an area that needs to be worked on.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Tipton Nursery 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.881 for Tipton Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.881

  • 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 Tipton Nursery is based on 10 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 10 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.
