Wonderful nursery. Staff have given an amazing standard of care to my little girl. I have recommended this nursery to friends in hopes that their children also get to experience the fun, love and learning that is provided by all staff at Nurtured @ Tunstall. One lady is wonderful, and I am glad she
is my daughter’s key worker! Wonderful communication.

My 3-year-old daughter attends Nurtured @ Tunstall, and she is thriving in an environment that provides exceptional learning, care and facilities. The inclusion of extracurricular activities such as Forestry, Spanish and park visits adds invaluable richness to her experience. Nurtured's commitment to
holistic development shines through, making it an outstanding choice for her early education journey.

Wonderful nursery. Great staff. Fab addition of an app so you can see what they've eaten/slept, etc, throughout the day and plenty of photos shared to view. My son loves going and gets along with all the staff.

My little boy started in October and has come on leaps and bounds since starting here, the best decision I made. It’s lovely and homely and the staff are amazing and happy to answer any questions, The app is really good you always feel updated. The variety of food on offer is so good also. Would 100%

Nurtured at Tunstall (formerly Polly's in the Park) is without doubt the best nursery we could have sent our 2 children to. Small and friendly, welcoming and homely, the staff are amazing and they are an absolute credit.

My son attends nursery and I absolutely love how he has progressed with his learning. It’s lovely to see what he does throughout the day through the app and I feel like we, as parents, are being involved in decisions in regards to our children. Well done on the changes that we are seeing. Absolutely
amazing staff. It’s lovely to be greeted with a smile when dropping the kids off. Thank you so much for your hard work.

My child loves going to nursery. I am given updates via the app throughout the week of the activities being done. I feel like I am part of her journey.
Since going to nursery my child’s speech, listening and writing skills have come on leaps and bounds.
The children are given a variety of home cooked
food. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter speaks fondly of them all.

Both of my children attend Polly's day nursery and have come on in leaps and bounds. My son comes home excitedly telling me what he has been learning and does things at home which I know he has learnt at nursery. The nursery is very homely and the staff are all dedicated and supportive.

Polly's Day Nursery is fantastic! My daughter loves attending there and has come on leaps and bounds since she started there. Polly's Day Nursery provides a lovely, homely feel and my daughter always has a great time there. All the staff are wonderful and ensure that my daughter is well looked after.
She receives gold standard care and the staff always make an effort with my daughter with her day to day activities and she always brings something home which she has made at the Nursery. I always recommend Polly's Day Nursery to people and tell them how brilliant it is!

A lovely, small, friendly nursery with experienced and caring staff. Both of my children love going here, they have lots of fun but are clearly being supported in their development too. The children seem to have a really good variety of activities. In addition to the secure garden, the nursery is located
in a park and the children are regularly taken there for walks.

Polly's keep a homely and friendly nursery environment and ensure our daughter is never without supervision. The Nursery encourages our daughter to reach her full potential and promotes social and moral development in a secure setting. Polly's ensures our daughter maintains a healthy, balanced nutritional
diet. Our daughter loves attending the nursery and enjoys getting involved in the various activities organised throughout each day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Tunstall 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.887 for Nurtured @ Tunstall is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.887

  • 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 @ Tunstall is based on 28 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 28 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.
