My son (18 months old) attended Charnwood Day Nursery 2020-2021 and has recently left as we are relocating to Northern Ireland.
My family and I were warmly welcomed at the nursery from Day 1, and all of the colleagues always made an effort to greet us. He really enjoyed his time at nursery and always
got excited every morning when I told him he was going.
The staff give excellent daily updates on what he had been doing throughout the day, and what food he had etc which was always reassuring to know he was well looked after. The staff always provided regular updates and photos and commentary on what activities he had been doing using the tapestry app.
I always knew he was in safe hands whilst at nursery. I would like to thank the Manager, the Deputy Manager, my son's key worker and all of the rest of the nursery staff at Charnwood Day Nursery for making his time at nursery so enjoyable. This is a fantastic nursery and I would recommend it to anyone - thank you!

My daughter has been at this nursery now for over a year and they couldn't have made her feel more welcome. They provide a fantastic welcoming environment. The staff are brilliant and very supportive. The meals they serve the children are amazing. And on top of everything else they do, they are very
flexible which has been a huge help in us settling into the area, schools and new jobs.

Absolutely outstanding nursery, my daughter has been going since she was 14 months old and the progress she's made in their care is amazing.


The help and support given by all staff on toilet training, walking and other milestones have also been outstanding.


I wouldn't hesitate in recommending

this nursery to friends and family in the future.

Amazing nursery; all the staff really care about the children. My daughter was there for a few months, however due to personal circumstances we had to remove her but otherwise, she'd still be there. I definitely recommend to anyone.

Would recommend this nursery, without hesitation. The staff are so attentive, and I felt safe leaving my child in their care, knowing that he was well looked after.
My son settled in quickly at this nursery, despite not being used to being separated from myself. The staff are very knowledgeable, and
provide a great variety of activies. My son progressed a lot in the short time he attended.

I would highly recommend Charnwood day nursery. My daughter went to this nursery and there was never a thought in not sending my son. They both went from very young babies. The staff are just amazing. They are so welcoming and always look after the children as they would their own. The children really
love the staff, which speaks volumes. The management team are really friendly and attentive. My son has lots of allergies and they ensure he is not only catered for but try to ensure he can have as near a meal as the other children. This really is a home from home nursery with amazing staff and a wonderful atmosphere.

I’m highly satisfied with the nursery, it’s great and my child loves it. I find it a little difficult when discussing what processes or progression is to be made with my child around his learning ability. I’m unsure if there’s any processes being put into place to help with his development.

This nursery is the best in the area, 4 of my children have attended here in 13 years, 2 of my children currently attend. The staff are friendly and really care about the children they care for. Play is educational and they work with the children so they’re ready for school. All of my children have
built a strong bond with the staff that are working with them. They’re more than happy to work with parents, their support has been invaluable when it comes to potty training and a child who is very fussy with food. When my daughter first started she refused to talk, we really struggled to get a word out of her, since attending the staff have worked to bring her out of herself and she has come on in leaps and bounds. Amazing nursery, amazing staff, I highly recommend.

Fantastic, friendly staff who have helped my son come on leaps and bounds. What used to be a shy 2-year-old has turned into an outgoing, chatty 2-year-old. He loves going to nursery and has learnt so much. Also, the staff are fantastic with his allergies and always make sure there is always something
safe and enjoyable for him to have at meal times. The staff also sit and monitor my son at meal times to make sure no cross contamination of foods occur and always provide good nutritious foods for him to eat. The nursery provides a good range of activities for the children to do from singing, signing and painting and general toy play and they encourage the children to play outside and explore when suitable. The nursery is always clean and the staff are always suitably dressed in uniform. I feel extremely happy with the nursery and the childcare service which they provide. I know my son is always safe and well looked after when at nursery.

Brilliant nursery. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting here 2 years ago. He loves going to nursery and is always learning something new. The staff are all excellent and always keep you updated with everything. The learning journal online is fantastic so you can keep up to date on what
your child is doing at nursery and you can also upload your own pictures too which is a good idea.
I would highly recommend this nursery!

Our son has been going to this nursery since he was 16 months, the staff are all very lovely, what we like the most is every member of staff personally knows our son as it's not a crowded nursery, we feel assured that our son is very well looked after whilst in their care.

I am very happy with the care my son gets when he goes to nursery. Going back to work is a hard decision for any parent but knowing that he is happy and cared for makes it a lot easier for me to go to work after having 9 mths off. My daughter also attended the nursery from 18 mths and thrived from day
1 although she had an unsettled start, but the kindness of all the staff helped her settle. A brilliant home from home setting and a warm feeling.

An amazing place, true home from home. My little one has been attending since he was one and we are sad to leave now he moved onto school. The staff have been amazing in helping him grow and learn. They will happily adapt to the child’s needs making it a great experience for both me and my son.

My daughter has been going to Charnwood Day since she was one. Personally, I have found her care amazing. The staff have become friends and genuinely care for the children they look after. Any concerns are dealt with in a professional and prompt manner. The children get to do a wide range of activities
and love their time there.

My daughter has attended here since she was around 8 months old. She's now in the preschool. She's always been very happy here and transitions between baby room, nursery room and pre-school have been managed with thought and care. Staff are kind and friendly. Any little niggles have been quickly addressed.
She takes part in a wide variety of activities and always comes home shattered but happy!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.819)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.819) out of 10 for Charnwood Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.819 for Charnwood Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.819

  • 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 Charnwood Day Nursery is based on 14 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 14 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.
