The staff are very friendly and interested in each of the children’s progress. They take the time to find out about the parents and stage at which they are with the child and try to continue any developments to the level of the parenting at home. Also, if the child has successes they let parents know
even if it’s simply eating foods they don’t usually like to eat. Very comforting leaving my child with them each time.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. I have used several great nurseries with my 3 children and have a vast experience of nurseries within my job as a primary school practitioner. The care is top quality and personalised to the needs of my child.

Wonderful staff, kind and caring to my child's every need.
The outdoor area is fantastic and offers so many learning opportunities for my child, I love that there is a range of animals here and he can explore them with staff.
A great routine for the children and it encourages my child development
and skills.
The overall standard of the nursery is good, would recommend to anyone especially those who love outdoor spaces.

We chose Home from Home as our son's nursery after bumping into a group of children and adults walking (and huge trollies for tiny tots) in the local racecourse park. The team were so outgoing, especially one lady who encouraged us to visit and once we saw the nursery, we didn't look back. 'Homely'
is a very accurate description, in that the nursery itself is a very large house with lots of different rooms and areas in the garden for play, animals, learning and eating home cooked food. The staff are warm and generous, firm and fair, creative and chatty. They take time to keep us updated and put more time into Tapestry online than we imagined and seem to remember and care for all parents as well as the children. We often find the time to chat with staff and enjoy drop off and pick up time. Our son is growing in this nursery and we are proud that he attends.

The nursery is fantastic; has a homely and friendly atmosphere with outstanding staff, who are warm, friendly, very professional and supportive. A mass variety of educational toys and messy plays every week! Big thanks for the enormous input into the development of our daughter, especially for her!
To know that our daughter is happy, being educated, cared for and developing in the most beautiful way - is priceless!

We were happy with the nursery for the majority of the time our child attended. Our concerns, when voiced, were addressed and resolved within a reasonable period of time. However, recently we had a dispute about the fees being charged and we felt (and still do feel) that these are not transparent and
not communicated to parents effectively. Our child is nearing school age and is happy and settled here and well taken care of but in the future, we will be shopping around for another childcare provider. Particularly in relation to the grant entitlement and how these are applied.

I think Home from Home - The Nannery Ltd provides very good care. I am totally satisfied with the service I get. My child has learned lots since he's been here and his character has come out. All I can say is that I have only seen improvement in him since he's been attending this nursery.

Since my son has been at the nursery he has improved immensely. He has ASD and they have encouraged him to improve in his social skills that he lacks.
They also focus on his strong points and have helped him improve in that area.


The staff are all very friendly and my son is often talking about

how much he likes them, something he rarely does with other adults. Would not hesitate to recommend the 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.
