I am satisfied with the behaviour of my child, she feels at home.
We are very happy to choose this nursery for our daughter. We have moved from our country and English is an additional language and staff helps us a lot and supports us in this making it easier communication. Our daughter is so happy
when she comes to nursery, making us happy too. The staff are very warm and support us and our daughter. For us, this nursery is the best one. The manager, when I have a problem, was understanding and always helpful.

Outstanding nursery. The staff are amazing. I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my son. There is a very happy atmosphere. My son has learnt a lot and achieved a lot while being here. I highly recommend this nursery.

All three of my children have attended the ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside Day Nursery. Each child has had a brilliant experience. My daughter, that attends currently, has developed so much confidence with the help of the wonderful staff.
Overall, I would highly recommend.

At the time my four-year-old started at Home from Home, I was alone with my two kids. Home from Home gave me flexible hours so I could get my lectures and work while my daughter was at school. The carers are friendly and experienced with kids. My daughter also loved the outdoor play and the fish.

Very nice and understanding carers. Great job done looking after my daughter. Very tolerant. Transparent too. I appreciate all the effort they put into looking after the kids. I saw a lot every time I went to pick my daughter up. I would definitely recommend Home from Home Parkside without reservation.

Before joining ABC nursery, my son has been at another 2 nurseries facing communication difficulties (as we are bilinguals). At ABC, he started to speak English language and interact with other kids.
Before ABC he was struggling with communication and interaction with other people and kids as well.
The staff are one of the best I could wish for him. He turned 4 in May, but I wanted him to stay in the nursery until year 1, which sadly wasn't possible. I asked, to be honest, that my son is learning this year the nursery, as he started to feel so happy here.

Our child has had a wonderful experience during their time at home from home nursery. The staff, especially the key workers have been great and ensured our child is well taken care of. It is clear that their approach is very much centred around their experience and as a result, our daughter has flourished
in all areas of development.

Since my son has come to this nursery his development has come on really well. When he first started he couldn't talk, now he's speaking full sentences. If you want your child to come to a fun, loving nursery, then I recommend this nursery. Your child will be truly well looked after.

It's a good nursery because my son learns lots of things and it has lovely staff teachers. It has lots of space for the children inside and outside. I love this nursery because it does not feel commercialised, which was really important to me when choosing a nursery. It is a small nursery that is friendly
and very tactile. Every time I have visited, I have never seen children crying alone, and often I have witnessed nursery workers sitting on the floor with children cuddling and attending to them.

My little boy has been going to Home from Home now for 8 months and he has settled in so well, the staff are all so lovely and he always is so happy to go over to them on drop off, which as a mum is such a relief.

Since my grandson has attended the nursery I have noticed a huge change in his behaviour, his learning, his potty training, and confidence. The ladies treat my grandson like his family, they are so friendly and easily approachable. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside 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 89 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 87 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 4.940 for ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside is calculated as follows: ( (1038 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 1063 Ratings = 4.94

  • 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 ABC123 - Home from Home Parkside is based on 87 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 87 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.
