My daughter has been attending the nursery since March 2016 and during this time has grown incredibly, both in personality and skills. The staff are lovely, friendly and nothing is ever a problem.
Thank you for making a tough time a lot easier.

I have been very happy with the level of care my two children receive here. I have absolutely no concerns regarding their safety. My daughter has additional needs and they are amazing with her. I cannot recommend this nursery more highly.

Excellent nursery. Friendly staff. My daughter has been here since she was 9 months old and she loves it! I am always surprised at the issues many friends have with their childcare providers as I have never had any issues with Nene Valley, they are exceptional.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was a year old (now 18 months). The staff have been excellent, giving daily updates with regard to how she's got on.
Any problems, I was contacted, although they always tried to keep her there unless it was more serious.
As a mum I have always felt the
staff looked after her as I would and would definitely recommend the nursery to others.

Kids feel safe and secure and parents need not to be worried, once you leave you kids, you can relax until you pick them up. Very lovable and caring. They learn a lot in activities and speech. The best nursery and highly recommended.

I am extremely happy with the nursery. As a working mum I often feel the guilt of not being with my daughter all of the time. This is made so much more easy for me knowing that she is well cared for and that she has a good relationship with the staff in her room.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Nene Valley Day Nursery (Northampton) 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.859 for Nene Valley Day Nursery (Northampton) is calculated as follows: ( (434 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 504 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 Nene Valley Day Nursery (Northampton) is based on 42 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 105 number of registered child places is 21, which has been reached with 42 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.
