My daughter has been going to this day nursery since she was six months old and the pace in which she has developed and all the skills she has learnt along the way has been incredible. Her key worker and the staff are nothing short of amazing and have always made me feel like I have a voice and listen
to my child needs and monitor and nurture her progression.

Best nursery staff ever! They have a really low staff turnover which means your children actually develop lasting relationships with people who know them. My daughter, now 7, still enjoys popping in to collect her brother and saying hi to staff. My son loves his teachers and has developed cementing
relationships in each class. The staff are caring, thoughtful, fun, and genuinely want the best for your children- it's like sending them in for a day with family. To top it off my children have a broad palate after eating a variety of food with lots of fish and lentils involved - thank you.

My little one has truly grown out of his shell since starting nursery. The staff in caterpillars are awesome and worked patiently with him to learn his routine and adapt to nursery environment at his pace. His key person worked over and beyond to truly understand him and he absolutely loved her.


One

of the best things about Leamington Spa Day nursery is you are always and promptly informed about any incidents involving your child. The level of communication is truly outstanding. The admin staff are excellent at responding to emails and communicating with prospective parents. The level of engagement I received from admin prior to joining was one of the reasons that drew me to the nursery

Honestly don't have a bad thing to say about this nursery, it's the best and I would recommend it to anyone! Both my kids have had the best care possible from every room that they have been in! They're always keeping me updated and always organising different events - they always ensure no one is left

We could not recommend this nursery highly enough. The level of care Emscote have provided both my daughter (3) and son (9 months) is nothing short of exceptional. The attention to detail, consistent communication and thought that goes into every aspect of this nursery is outstanding - we could not
be happier!

I was invited to a Mother’s Day afternoon tea and party. A good time was enjoyed by children and adults alike. It was a chance to catch up with other mums and staff. Also, a chance to see your child at play and interacting with their peers. My grandson loved showing me the collection of cars and making
a makeshift ramp to send them colliding and crashing to the bottom. There was playdough flower pressing tables, soil and seed planting, biscuit decorating and much more. Everyone enjoyed tea - sandwiches and cake, and Devonshire scones for the grown-ups! Before we left we had a quiet time in the reading corner.

Both my children have gone here from very young age and I love it! Couldn't think of anywhere I would rather my children to be. They are so well looked after and cared for. All the staff remember my older daughter. My son loves it there, they have so much time to spend with all the children and knows
each and every one of them. It's so lovely. They have so much fun and learn so much. All the staff are lovely and really care about my son. Amazing 10/10!

Emscote House could not have been more accommodating with my child in Caterpillars, he has so enjoyed his time there and has turned into such a happy, cheeky, communicative little boy. The team have invested so much time in him and have given him the opportunity to be so creative. Thank you!

Our son has really thrived at Emscote. The team have been amazing, shown so much care, and have really supported his development. He has been exposed to loads of different activities and eats nutritious and varied meals. We leave him knowing he is safe and so well looked after, we are so proud of the
independent, happy, and confident little boy and we know a lot of that is down to the nursery and the team. The team have listened to us and worked with us on any queries, reacting quickly and professionally.

daughter is receiving amazing care and is having a fantastic start in life. All the staff seem engaged and committed.

Our son has been attending Emscote House Day Nursery for 6 months and we are extremely happy with the care he receives. The staff are attentive, caring and friendly and have got to know our son well. The feedback we receive at the end of the day is in depth and lets us know everything he’s been up to
and eaten. We are always pleased with the activities he’s taken part in and are impressed with how he’s developed since starting at nursery.

Our little one loves his time at Emscote House Day Nursery. All the staff have been wonderful and really helped settle him in when he first started and then with the transition between rooms. Currently he is in the Ladybird room and the girls have been loving, kind and caring for my son as if he was
their own. He eats really well and has tried so many different foods and experiences that we may have struggled to achieve at home. The manager and the team are very good at offering advice and are always there to answer any questions. I would definitely recommend Emscote House for parents who are looking for their children to have fun, learn and develop in such a happy environment!

My son started nursery at 2 years old in Bumblebees, since day one staff has been amazing always very kind and caring. Very good communication and effective parent partnership. My son is always so happy to come into nursery, even when he is at home always talking about nursery or his teachers. I can
see on his learning development how much is progressed, and how exciting he tells me the amazing activities is, always set up for the children. Very pleased with the nursery overall, definitely recommend it. 100%

Very pleased with the place and the great staff. In my child's first 4 months of nursery I have never had an issue. Every week he is happier and happier spending time at the nursery and he is almost sad to come back home. Great variety of entertainment, kids are followed very well and they take great
care of babies (they are clean and they use good brand nappies/creams). The communication is always fast, effective and professional; I had issues for payments leaving my tax free childcare account, they have been very supportive and understanding. I am extremely happy with my choice and I would definitely suggest it.

My daughter has been at Emscote House since she was thirteen months old, she’s now in preschool.
She’s never liked being away from me and always gets fed up at drop off but I think it shows how great they are at Emscote that she always settles down quickly once I’ve gone and when I come to get her
she tells me what a great day she’s had and what she’s been up to and smiling.
The staff are warm and friendly and a good number have been there for the whole time my daughter has.
We always have a good handover at pick up and she has had some fantastic key workers as she’s moved rooms who have clearly taken time to get to know her interests and use them to engage her in learning and activities. Whenever she’s moved up a room they have always moved her up with a few of her friends which has helped the transition each time.
We get updates through the app and weekly newsletter which also help us keep up to date and know about upcoming events and activities.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.754)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.754) out of 10 for Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 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 4.899 for Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.899

  • 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 4.855 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) is based on 20 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.855

  • 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.
