Emscote House has proven to be a wonderful nurturing environment for my step-son, supported at every turn it has equipped him very well for the transition to primary school.
He has gained confidence and developed a real community spirit, he will often stop other children he knows from nursery in the
park or shops to say hello.
Having a key person move through the school with his year group has given him consistency that I know he will miss now that he has finished.
I cannot recommend Emscote House more highly, the levels of care have been excellent throughout.

Emscote House in Warwick has been nothing but exemplar in their commitment, service and duty in remaining open during the pandemic, allowing me and my wife, who are both health care professionals, to care for patients on the front line. Without the staff's adaptability and practical approach to bringing
children back in, our 16-month daughter, we would have let down thousands of patients. The staff are so attentive, caring and treat the children unconditionally and I'm so pleased we moved our daughter. She eats so well, is developing wonderfully and nothing is too much trouble. We particularly resonate well with the ethical ideas Emscote House employ growing their vegetables, sourcing organic produce and have bright ideas like planning for a staycation holiday during the lockdown. An opportunity never wasted. Thoroughly satisfied with every aspect - no complaints.

This is a fantastic nursery. My son is so happy at Emscote because the staff are so caring and kind. They do lovely activities with the children and they seem to get to know each child so well. I never have any doubts that he is being well cared for and that he is happy in this setting. I would definitely
recommend this nursery.

My daughter was in a different nursery earlier in Peterborough and she went there for a month. She had cried every single day, the entire day, until I would pick her up. She never used to eat anything the entire day and there were no efforts made from the staff. My daughter joined Emscote nursery at
the end of July. After her settling in there is not even a single day she has cried, rather she would wake up so happily in the morning just to go to the nursery. This is magic for me as I have seen her cry one whole month in Peterborough. I deeply want to say thanks to the team for their efforts.

My daughters have both made such progress in all areas of their learning, I am constantly amazed. I highly recommend

Emscote have been exceptional in dealing with the coronavirus lockdown. As a key worker, my children attended throughout. The staff were professional, calm and very welcoming. Communication was excellent. Safety standards were high and I felt confident my children were happy and safe, which meant a
great deal to me at a very stressful time. Thank you Emscote.

Emscote and their staff helped our son a lot (he is now 22 months) during his early years while settling into a nursery routine. The staff are really receptive, informative and understanding. We did loads of research for a nursery, and thank god we chose Emscote, the staff in Caterpillars and Lady-Birds
rooms are just amazing, great, great people, very caring and committed.

As most parents are with choosing a nursery, we were apprehensive and slightly worried about where to pick for our daughter to go. Various parents we had spoken to locally highly recommended Emscote nursery. From the moment we went in the staff were lovely, the place had a lovely feel. Our daughter
has thoroughly enjoyed her time to date and is about to join pre-school there. She has always looked forward to attending each class even when moved up with new teachers. During COVID the nursery has kept in contact and kept us updated.

My son has been at Emscote House for over a year and progressed through a couple of rooms in this time. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff that we have met during his time there - they all know the children inside out, taking time to get to know each of their little personalities. The variety
of activities is great and we get thorough updates at the end of each day. They do their fair share of messy play and Outdoor fun and it always amazes me, (particularly knowing my son!), how clean they arrive back at the end of the day! The food looks amazing and healthily balanced. Overall, I know my son absolutely loves it there and the place is outstanding!

Our son has been going to Emscote since he was 10 months old and is now nearly 3. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and we are very pleased with the way our boy has developed and is continuing to develop. His little sister is starting in November and I’m sure she’ll love it as much as
her older brother!

After being away for a few months during lockdown, I was a little nervous about the new procedures and how both my boys would take to it; however I should not have had any of these concerns! As soon as the nursery were advised we would be coming back we were provided with all the appropriate information
we needed and tools to help us explain to the children the new procedures in a way they would understand. Although there is now a lot more work involved for all staff, everyone appears to be taking it in their stride to still ensure a happy and relaxed environment for my boys who can't wait to arrive in the morning and are so excited to tell us news of their day in the evenings. I could not recommend Emscote House more, with only one year left for my eldest I know he will be very sad to leave.

Great nursery, my son is excited and happy to go to the nursery, they do fun things that he enjoys with his key worker. The rooms are clean and spacious, the outside has a lot of grounds to play.
He has only been there over a month but he loves it and is settling and is coming out of his shell more.
Highly recommend, I have visited every nursery in the area and for me this was the best nursery on the market.

The team at Emscote do more than look after our children. They look after us too.
I am grateful for their support, their outstanding flexibility, their generous kindness and ability to understand all of my queries.
Both my sons have had a great time here. My youngest is leaving later this year for
school and I know we will all find this hard. We have gotten to know everyone here and we will miss them very much.
In addition, the birthday cake is the best on the planet. I will miss their baking terribly!

My son had attended this nursery since he was 1-year-old. He has just had his second birthday. As every parent does, you consider lots of options when looking at child care for your precious child. On visiting Emscote House I knew this is where we wanted him to go. It just ‘felt’ right. The staff are
incredible there. You can tell they love their jobs and the children. My son loves it there and is thriving. He has been back at nursery from the first day the nursery reopened and I must say I am impressed with the lengths the nursery have gone to ensure his health and safety. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emscote House to anyone and everyone who will listen! Thank you for making my sons experience wonderful

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.
