Nurtured @ Packmoor staff are fully committed to providing a ‘home from home’ environment for children to enjoy. The setting welcomes children from 3 months to 5 years old and aims to provide all children with high-quality care in a warm, safe and friendly environment with a variety of stimulating resources.

The nursery has an enclosed garden with safety flooring and a variety of age-appropriate outdoor resources. The nursery also has a CCTV system installed throughout the premises.

The staff follow the 'early years foundation' stage framework to support early learning experiences, and this is backed up with lots of practical hands-on activities for children in all age groups.

However, they are about more than just covering the curriculum; it’s about teaching children to share experiences and building confidence.

Staff hold appropriate early years qualifications which give children the care and inspiration needed to thrive in a rich and fun learning environment.

The nursery cook prepares freshly cooked meals on the premises daily. Individual dietary needs are also catered for.

All staff are trained in paediatric first aid, food hygiene, safeguarding, manual handling as well as plenty of other ongoing training to support the delivery of the 'early years foundation stage'. This ensures that parents have peace of mind when leaving children in the nursery. The nursery also participates in the 'Stoke speaks out', communication and language screening program.

The nursery has strong partnerships with parents and staff keep parents updated about each child's day on a daily basis.

Funded places are available for 2, 3 and 4 year old’s.

Abacus will provide all children with the opportunity to make friends and gain the confidence to make the move up into the first year at school and beyond.

My little girl likes coming to Abacus and has bonded well with the other children. I do however have to point out that standards seem to be dropping and the staff turnover is concerning in a nursery environment. It is a good nursery overall but I would like to see improvements as it could be better.

Reply from Tushi Popat, Owner at Nurtured @ Packmoor

Thank you for your review and feedback which we very much value. We are very happy that your daughter enjoys coming to Abacus. With regards to the staff turnover, this is due to approximately 25% of our staff team taking maternity leave in a very short period of time with only one member of staff leaving for a career change. This has meant that we have a number of new staff members join our team who have settled into the nursery very well.

My little girl started at Abacus Day Nursery around 6 months ago, she absolutely loves going to Nursey she can’t get through the door quick enough in the morning. Her speech and development has been amazing since starting. All the staff are so lovely and always happy to help.

My 3-year-old boy has attended the nursery since January 2022 and since he has joined his development has massively improved. The staff are warm and friendly and always takes time to inform us how his day has been. Lovely and clean inside and lots of activities for children to do. Highly recommended.

My child started here in September and he absolutely loves it. It only took him a week to settle in which I was surprised yet relieved about. He has come on so much since being there. The staff are very welcoming and always so lovely with him. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

My 2-year-old boy started in March 2021, he really struggled at first, mostly because of lockdown and all the restrictions and his world had just been us and our home. The staff have been fantastic with him and have really contributed in building his confidence and really bringing him out of his shell.
He really is a different child from what he was back in March. He loves going, loves the staff and the activities he takes part in and loves the food so much, he usually has 2 helpings! Haha. Highly recommended!

My little boy loves going to nursery! Without fail he runs out the door with a smile on his face every time I pick him up. I feel my child is safe and in good hands and feel at ease leaving him there whilst I go to work. My son has developed so much going to Abacus especially with his talking! I find
it great that he’s learning as well as having fun. The nursery emails you with any updates and newsletters of the month with any topics that the children will be learning, which I love to read and find out what their room will be up to. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough and definitely wouldn’t want my little boy to go anywhere else! Thank you Abacus for continuing to take care of my boy.

My daughter loves going to nursery and gets very excited to go, she loves her teachers and has lots of fun. She is vegetarian, which was a worry for me initially but has been no problem as she is given a variety of nice food. My daughter is thriving at Abacus Day Nursery and is always learning something
new and is very happy.

My little boy has attended this nursery since 3 months old, he’s now nearly 2 and is way ahead of his friends who don’t attend nursery and it’s all down to the staff for their encouragement and welcoming nature to all of the children. Big thanks to the staff! He even talks about them at home and looks
forward to seeing them. I would 100% recommend this nursery to everyone, it’s fantastic, especially throughout the pandemic when we were kept updated regularly via email and parents evenings were held virtually. The staff are also very helpful and accommodating where possible. Thank you.

My little girl loves coming to nursery and loves all of the staff who care for her. She was such a shy little girl but they have given her so much confidence. Her speech and language ability is great and she is so very polite. The staff are all fabulous and work so hard to make sure the children are
safe and happy. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with little ones.

Our little one loves coming to nursery. Since the start, the room supervisor has done her upmost to integrate him into nursery life, she has support us as parents on a journey of uncertainty due to the pandemic and has given us regular updates in regards to our child's progression. The room staff are
very friendly and welcoming. They all know the children regardless of which room they are assigned too and many even recognise the parents upon collection. The nursery have done a fantastic job during the pandemic and have kept our children safe. I truly believe that if it wasn't for my child attending such a lovely nursery that his social skills would be suffering somewhat more than they are because of the pandemic. I can't praise the girls in my child's room enough and seeing photos of them engaging and learning lots of varied things on a weekly basis really fills me with happiness and reassurance that we choose the best nursery around.

We'd heard lots of positive things about Abacus Day Nursery, and when we went to look round we knew instantly that was where we wanted to send our daughter. From the first moment we visited, we were made to feel so welcome and we loved the "home from home" environment and the friendliness and warmth
of the staff. All our questions were answered and nothing has ever been too much trouble for the staff. Communication from the nursery is excellent. Our daughter started in September and has settled in brilliantly. Choosing a nursery was such an important decision but we couldn't be happier with our choice, many thanks to all the staff at Abacus!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Packmoor 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.893 for Nurtured @ Packmoor is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 Nurtured @ Packmoor is based on 18 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 18 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.
