Our son has been in Emscote House since he was 9 months old. We have seen him flourish in this time. The staff took into consideration feedback from parents. The key improvements have been changing the rooms around so that toddlers have better access to the toilets for potty training. As far as learning
in the pre-school room goes, our son was well prepared for primary school life. He is ahead of his year with regards to reading. Thank you to the ladies in Ladybirds and all others for taking good care of him. Would prefer to see fruit as the only option after meals instead of pudding.
P.s would also be grateful for discounts for children who can't have dairy and bring their own meals in.

Our son absolutely loves Emscote House Day Nursery. The staff in each room are like a family and you always have the same people looking after them each day. Knowing they care about him so much and that he has a bond with them has made being a working mum so much easier. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend
Emscote House!

My son is thriving since he has started at Emscote House Day Nursery his confidence has grown so much and he really enjoys his time at the nursery.
All the staff in his room have made it so easy for him to settle at nursery and his initial reluctance for me to leave him did not last long he now gets
very excited as soon as he sees the nursery and waves me off happily.

We can't recommend this nursery highly enough. We were slightly anxious about our daughter starting nursery as she wasn't taking to a bottle, but after a few weeks she does so brilliantly and is also transitioning well to solids.
Our daughter loves the nursery and we are delighted by the kind, friendly
and professional staff that look after her.
We particularly like the updates we receive on her personal development and have been impressed by the levels of care, security and attention shown.

Very happy with the overall experience. Great learning opportunities for our daughter. The pre school team provide fun and interactive ways to learn and teach the children new things. They are a great team and one of the strongest out of the other teams we have experienced during our time there.
Overall
we would like to see more structural feedback at parents evenings - some have lacked facilitated discussion.
We have experienced a couple of instances where there has been a lack of communication in relation to key worker change/sickness.
Introductions to new key workers (even though 'just helping out') could be improved.

Reply from Jo Wale, Area Manager at Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa)

Thank you for your review of our nursery. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.


We hold 2 parents evenings a year to provide an additional out of hours opportunity to meet with your key-person and discuss your child’s progress and development. The online Parentzone provides regular access to photos and observations for parents and our staff are available daily to talk to.


Each child has a primary and secondary key-person to support in the absence of the other. Clearly, the communication around ‘key people’ has not met the standards we expect and this is something we will review and address to see how improvements can be made.

From start to finish, Emscote has provided a safe and supportive environment for our son.
He has flourished under the care of all the staff. We joined with a serious allergy and speech issues, both of which were understood and supported.

We put both of our children through nursery at Emscote, originally convinced by the big, beautiful walled garden. Quite soon we came to realise the staff and facilities were also wonderful, not to mention the convenience of not having to provide nappies and wipes, as you do at many other nurseries.


Our

youngest will be leaving to go to school in September and I can genuinely say we will miss the place enormously. The staff are so warm and friendly with the children, our little one will be sad too.


I couldn't recommend Emscote House highly enough.

Emscote House has been fantastic for our two children over the last two years. We initially chose this nursery for the great facilities, large rooms and very large playgrounds, but the best thing has been the friendly and caring staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) 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 4.903 for Emscote House Day Nursery (Leamington Spa) is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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.
