My little boy settled in so well to the baby room at Shanklin Day Nursery, he built great bonds with the staff and I knew when I dropped him off he was going to be incredibly well looked after. The updates on the app throughout the day were great and we really enjoyed seeing what he was getting up too.
We were devastated when we moved away and had to change his nursery as no other will compare to Shanklin.

My daughter has attended Shanklin Day Nursery for over a year and I cannot fault it. This was her first nursery setting and the initial transition into the setting was seamless, which has continued throughout her time there. The biggest stand out has been the communication between staff largely key
workers and management between us as parents keeping us abreast of her development but also so attentive to her needs and working with us on this.
All the staff are very welcoming and it's comforting to see how comfortable my daughter has been not only with her key workers but the staff throughout the nursery.
It's been a joy to see her confidence grow and see her coming home learning lots of new skills, also how excited she is to get to nursery in the morning says it all.
Couldn't have asked for anything better.

We put our son into the nursery when he was 1 year old, he was provided with a key person, and regular updates were submitted onto the app which gave us comfort throughout the days. A particular member of staff was wonderful, he warmed to her instantly. Management were great to answer any queries, and
two particular members of staff would respond back in a timely manner and provide a monthly newsletter on any Nursery updates. We attended some parent stay and play sessions which were always very interactive and fun. He moved up to the toddler room eventually, this was a smooth transition. He especially warmed to another two members. The outdoor space is wonderful and the inside is spacious with rooms equipped with wonderful learning activities and toys. We were provided with snapshot reports to ensure he was reaching the framework indicator as well as learning stories to ensure his developmental progress was recorded. We are looking to send our daughter here in September 2025, thank you Shanklin!

Shanklin Day Nursery is a home away from home for my two children who attend there. My daughter will be leaving the nursery to start school in a few weeks. She started at Shanklin when she was two years old, and instantly took to it, enjoying every moment within the first week. The staff are wonderful,
caring and very approachable - my daughter speaks very fondly of them. She has become a very confident little girl who has progressed so well. My son is one, and equally enjoys his time at the nursery and has built good relationships with the staff. The nursery offers a variety of activities for all the children and has a brilliant outdoor space for the kids to enjoy. The level of communication with parents/carers is perfect, and there are opportunities for parents to be involved too, such as stay-and-play sessions and sports day. I really recommend this nursery as they provide high-quality childcare. Thank you to all the staff at Shanklin Day Nursery.

I have 3 children who all attended the Shanklin, my eldest is 12 my second child is now 10 and my youngest is 2 and currently attends the nursery.
My son has become a very bright toddler and his progress lately is absolutely incredible.
The staff are very caring, loving and build strong relationships
with the children.
My son has bonded well with the staff and he loves the whole team.
The Shanklin have delivered my children outstanding childcare, I am really happy and satisfied with all their efforts in nurturing my son.
Thank you everyone.

Myself and my wife can't recommend Shanklin Day Nursery enough. Our son joined when he was 10 months old, staying until 13 months when we moved away and leaving Shanklin was truly one of the saddest parts of moving. The whole team is so friendly and welcoming, our son was always thrilled to arrive in
the mornings and sometimes even sad to see us when we collected him! As a teacher myself, I was really impressed with the range of activities and how detailed the notes on our son's development were. I felt completely confident that not only was he being looked after in a happy, caring environment and therefore his emotional needs were being fully met, but also that his developmental needs were a real priority. We saw a huge jump in development after he joined, the food options were excellent and his soy allergy well-catered for, and I was particularly impressed with the creative activities on offer (painting, messy play, sticking, using crayons).

Reply from Siobhan McGrath, Manager at Shanklin Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery and for your kind words. We will pass them on to our team and we hope you are settling well in your new home overseas.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.189)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.189) out of 10 for Shanklin 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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 4.778 for Shanklin Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.778

  • 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 4.411 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shanklin Day Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 37 number of registered child places is 7.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.811

  • 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.
