A lovely nursery that treats you as if you were family. My son loves it there, has been settled since day one. They can’t do enough for you and if you ask they always help where they can. My son has a lovely bond with a member of the team and always runs into nursery to give her a big cuddle.
They
always take part in activities such as world book day, Halloween parties and dress as a pirate day. It’s just a very warm and happy place.

My child loves attending pre-school. I know she is happy and well looked after and already has a special bond with her key-worker who she talks about all the time. They plan daily activities, which help my child move forwards and know her really well. I am confident that she is very well cared for.
The staff are all so friendly and welcoming.

I am always singing the praises of Whitwick Day Nursery. I love the setting and the staff, everyone is so friendly and always have time to say hello. I really like that they are so focused on getting the kids playing outside but just as much on teaching them. When my daughter first started, she was
so shy and couldn't speak properly at all, the staff have really brought her out of herself. She is now the most confident and happy and intelligent child. We have been through a few rough patches with her behaviour but the nursery staff have always helped us work through it.

Whitwick is a lovely nursery. My eldest went here nine years ago and my youngest goes now. Many of the same staff still work there which is always a sign of a good place. My daughter loves going and I feel happy that she is in safe hands. I would and have recommended this nursery to anyone.

My son absolutely loves going to this nursery, his confidence has grown so much in the past few months, that is definitely down to this nursery and the staff at the nursery.
It’s such a pleasure dropping my son off and picking him up, the staff are so polite and are very keen to tell me about my sons
day.
I am dreading him going to school in September, as I know he will deeply miss everyone at this nursery.
I would definitely recommend anyone to put their children in here.

I have used this nursery for two years with both of my children and I have always been impressed by them. They helped my daughter immensely when she arrived in the preschool room - helping her to settle and I watched her confidence bloom and her development leaps were huge. For my son, the nursery is
his second home! He loves it and I put it down to the loving and professional care he is given - always. I get daily updates, I get to se3 what he is up to through tapestry (which is amazing!!). I know they have his best interests at heart and will help him develop right through to pre-school.

My daughter joined in the nursery from another setting. Whitwick Day Nursery made it as painless as possible and made my daughter and I feel very welcome and at ease. This made the whole process a lot better and easier. Many thanks!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.740) out of 10 for Whitwick Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.740 for Whitwick Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.74

  • 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 Whitwick Day Nursery 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
