My daughter attends St John’s Nursery, and the support we get is fantastic. My daughter has come along leaps and bounds. There are regular updates throughout the day via pictures, and I am very comfortable that her needs are being met within the setting.

I really wouldn't send my children anywhere else! Even before my son started, the staff were welcoming and friendly. I felt so confident and happy to leave my child here for the first time I was never worried. I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for both of my children. They have
brought out the best in them. Everyone is so understanding and supportive. My children have always come out at the end of the day full of joy and excitement, telling me all about the things they have been up to.

Reply from Nickie Sephton, Manager at St John's Nursery

We are so glad that we have been lucky to have both of your wonderful children.

My son has been coming to this nursery for a few months now, and I was really nervous at first as he has never been away from me before. I felt so reassured from the very first day, and the ladies here are so lovely that we've never had any tears, and he is so happy to go. In fact, every morning when
I tell him it's nursery today, he is ushering me out the door and is eager to get his shoes on. He always has such a big smile on his face when he arrives. His talking has come on leaps and bounds, and he benefits so much from coming here. I always get amazing feedback about what he's done and how he did with his lunch etc, and I love the photos uploaded to his app account. Thank you for taking such good care of him when he is with you and making it so enjoyable for him. I would definitely highly recommend this setting!

Since my son first started at this nursery, he has absolutely come on leaps and bounds in confidence. He adores all the staff and is always so excited to see them, and it’s always reciprocated, which is so so lovely. I will be recommending this nursery to everyone; he really does have the best time,
and I love seeing what they have been doing with all the updates that we get - fantastic!

My little boy has attended St John's nursery for two years and loves it there. I'm convinced he loves the staff more than he loves me - haha! They have been invaluable in his growth and development, and their support, guidance, love, respect and help have kept me sane. My little boy is autistic, and
the staff here have been monumental in helping get a diagnosis and support for him. They treat him like he's their own, and they're never too busy to stop and give us parents a kind word, listening ear and wonderful hug!
They have invested so much time in my sons learning and development. There is always a new craft to try; they support and encourage every child's development and independence and invest their all in each and every little person that walks through the doors.
They always have time for a cuppa and a chat and are always so wonderful in helping with literally anything!
I will always be so, so grateful to the magnificent staff of St John's nursery. They're truly all angels.

Wonderful nursery!
Felt from day one that my little girl was going to love it, and she has never come home sad, always loves her day and enjoys all the different activities.
The ladies all greet my little girl with a big smiles, and they are all so friendly and genuine; they are such a bunch of amazing
ladies.

St John’s is a brilliant nursery. All the staff are brilliant with the children, and there are always different activities every day. My little girl has settled in very quickly and loves going on her days. My son also attended this nursery before going to primary school and loved it also; they picked
up very quickly that he has a speech problem and got speech and language one-to-one arranged straight away, which he is still under now. Such a lovely environment and lovely staff.

Thank you for your kind words, and so glad we were able to help with speech and language.

St John's Nursery is the best! My son absolutely loves it there and has progressed well since starting his first day in April 2020. The support my son has received has been outstanding. I can't thank all the St John's staff enough. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble.
Due to the location where I live, I could have moved my son to a different nursery; however, I am more than happy to travel if it means he gets to stay at St John's, where he is very happy and settled. All the staff have become more like family to me and my son, and they are not only there for the children but for the parents too. They are all amazing. I highly recommend this nursery.

My son loves attending St John’s Nursery. He always comes out with a huge smile on his face.
They have played a massive part in encouraging/supporting his speech and have excellent communication with myself as to his development.
The children participate in a range of activities each day to keep
them occupied and engaged.
All the staff I’ve met are lovely. I would highly recommend it.

We have recently moved from Scotland, and St John’s Nursery was recommended to me by a family member. The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and very approachable. My son loves going to nursery and always comes home with paintings, drawings and cakes. The staff are very good at keeping me updated
via the online app with photos of the activities my son has participated in during the day. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a placement for their child.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough. My parents were my childcare, and both became quite poorly, meaning they couldn’t look after my two-year-old daughter, and I needed to find a nursery quite quickly. Having no experience of nurseries, I felt anxious about making such a big decision. St John’s was
recommended to me by a friend, so we arranged to go and meet with the nursery manager. My daughter did a taster session and got on great. She enjoyed it that much, we started her straight away on two full days (9-3). A year later, she does full days, Monday-Friday. The nursery has gone above and beyond with helping my daughter. My daughter is currently having speech and language therapy, and the nursery is so supportive. All the staff are so kind, genuine and caring. My daughter loves them all. They have also been there for me as a parent when I needed a chat. I honestly can’t recommend them enough. My newborn will definitely be applying for a space when he is ready for nursery.

My twin boys have been going to St John's Nursery for over a year now. They absolutely love it, and so do I. The staff are amazing. Such an incredible team. My boys come home so happy every single day and are always carrying something they've created.
The boys always come home with stories about their
day, and I can't wait to hear them. They've never had a bad day.
The team always updates myself on the app with photos and comments about what the boys have been up to that day/week. I look forward to reading and seeing them every day.
I highly recommend St John's Nursery and its team. I'm going to be so sad to see the boys move on, but can't thank them all enough for setting them up for their next chapter in their school life.

Reply from Nickie Sephton, Manager at St John's Nursery

I am so glad the boys are happy, and it's lovely they talk about nursery to you.

The staff are so friendly and helpful. I had always heard wonderful things about the nursery, and this was confirmed on the first visit.
I was told we’re all moms, and we do mother them; this stuck with me and always comforts me knowing my little girl will be looked after fondly and lovingly.
Communication
is great; I always know what she has done throughout the day through the app. I also received reassurance through emails and phone calls when she was first settling in.
She comes home so happy and proud each day, saying what a good girl she has been and showing me her crafts and pictures!
The nursery has always been flexible with hours/days, which has been amazing.
I always feel happy and comfortable leaving my daughter knowing she is well looked after and learning a variety of skills through different activities throughout the day.
There are extra events. We enjoyed the Xmas play, seeing all the children coming together.

My son has been here for two years. They are the kindest and most caring professionals that look after him and always have time to listen to us, parents. Nothing is too much trouble, and each child is treated as an individual. I will be gutted when he has to leave for school this summer. Cannot recommend
it highly enough!

I have been with this nursery for five years plus with four of my children - one still remaining there and one due next year. There amazing, always doing lots of different activities and crafts. A good variety of snacks, really good hygiene, and so good with all the children regarding their needs. This
nursery can meet - it's 100% the best nursery in Heath Hayes, Cannock, Burntwood and surrounding areas. A big well done, girls; you are doing amazing.

Both of my girls have attended St John's Nursery. The staff here are brilliant role models to the children and build a great bond with them. They are very open and welcoming towards parents too, and when they say their door is always open, that really is the case. There are always updates on all the
fun things they have been doing. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.966)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for St John's 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 17 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 4.966 for St John's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 St John's 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, 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.
