The first thing that stands out is how considerate the staff are of parents' needs. Taking family life and household priorities into account they really do cater and help as much as they can. I have on occasions had to make some last-minute changes to my children's schedule and the manager was understanding
and judgement-free. The management are fantastic, professional and relatable. They take their job seriously and the nursery is run well. Communication is also great. They are very engaged and respond well to queries. My children have settled in well, and have made good friends. I am very pleasantly surprised with this fantastic local nursery. I feel comfortable leaving my children there. Thank you to everyone at The Parade Day Nursery!

Our daughter had the happiest year at The Parade Day Nursery. She has grown in confidence and is now more than ready for school. The staff are kind and approachable. Our only regret is that we didn't send her when she was a little younger!

My child has attended the nursery since 11 months old and our experience has been amazing. The setting really is a home from home and offers a warm welcome. All practitioners are happy and friendly and it's clear they all have such good relationships with, and care for, the children. They provide detailed
updates both on the app and at pick-up. Our child has bonded well with all staff and key workers and really loves going to nursery. So much thought goes into the activities and learning. I love reading the monthly newsletter to see what they have been exploring and can always find links between what they've been doing and the developments or interests shown at home. I couldn't be happier with our choice and our child's development.

The baby room practitioners are caring and attentive. My child has a good bond with the practitioners in the room; in particular his key person. He is happy to go off and explore most mornings, but always has someone to cuddle if he's ever feeling a little less willing. My son enjoys the music class
and we often catch him showcasing his new moves to nursery rhymes at home! The management team have been helpful and prompt to deal with any queries we've had. They also regularly organise mini sessions where parents/carers can come and join with activities, which has been lovely.

I couldn't have picked a better nursery for my daughter than The Parade Day Nursery. She started when she had just turned one and has now just left for Reception and she loved every single day that she went. The staff are truly wonderful and we both will really miss them. Thank you to all the staff
for making her nursery journey so happy and fun and for helping her be ready for the next stage in her life. Best wishes.

I made a great choice of choosing the right nursery for my son. Teachers are very friendly and supportive to him when he gets home from nursery he always tells me that he loves his teachers and friends. The way that teachers communicate with the parents is very encouraging because it makes the kids
think of their accomplishments. I would definitely recommend The Parade Day Nursery for anybody who wants their children to explore their own strengths.

I'm very glad that I chose this nursery. Reviews were amazing in 2021 when my son started and I can confirm that in this nursery your child will be taken care of wonderfully. My son was 1 and a half when he started, his improvements were very noticeable, he started eating everything, his vocabulary
increased very quickly and he always had good fun by playing and by being involved in lot of activities. That's the reason I couldn't choose a different nursery for second child (my son will start reception now so no, I didn't choose it because I would've had the two of them in the same nursery). Staff is very friendly and supportive, ready to answer any question/concern that you have. You always receive updates and even pics as well through the app, and stay-and-play sessions and parents evenings help us parents to be more involved. I really recommend this nursery and as I said, couldn't do a better choice.

My daughters both attend the setting and love it. They are always full of joy when I pick them up and can't wait to tell me about the day they have had: dancing, singing, playing in the garden, messy play, arts and crafts, visits out and about. Communication with parents is timely and efficient and
I receive daily updates about how my girls are getting on. Staff are kind, caring and clearly passionate about their jobs and wanting the children to thrive.

The staff was very caring, attentive and understanding with my child. We are so sorry that this stage is over. I will say

We are delighted with the care and support provided by Parade Day Nursery. Our 2.5-year-old currently attends, and the environment is warm, welcoming, and perfect for young children. The staff are attentive, creating a cheerful and engaging space that makes our child feel safe and happy.
Our 5-year-old
also attended Parade Day Nursery before starting school. The transition to school was seamless thanks to the excellent preparation provided by the nursery.
We are incredibly grateful for the support and kindness shown by everyone at Parade Day Nursery. They have played a crucial role in our children's early development, and we highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a loving and supportive environment for their little ones.
Thank you, Parade Day Nursery, for everything you have done for our family. We deeply appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing our children are in such capable and caring hands.

My son has recently joined the nursery and I and he couldn't be happier. He is just over one and is always smiling when we get to the door, he always wants to go to the nursery staff which is a huge contrast to his last place where he was always crying. The staff all seem to have longevity and you don't
feel like you're handing your child over to a teenager. The daily updates are really good and they can't do enough for parents and the children. I honestly love the nursery and staff and have such piece of mind when my child is there. I also think it's very competitively priced.

My little one has been at the nursery for around 16 months now and when looking I didn't know where to start. Everyone here I have ever met has been welcoming, and friendly and I can see that they have the wellbeing of my little one at the front of their mind.
The observations are thorough and at
the end of the day for pickup, I get to speak with staff about how the day has gone as well as details on the app. I am happy we picked this nursery, their foundations are reflective of what we try to do at home with lots of educational fun and outside time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for The Parade Day Nursery - Abington 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.866 for The Parade Day Nursery - Abington is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.866

  • 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 The Parade Day Nursery - Abington is based on 28 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 28 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.
