Staff at Bolton School Nursery nurture and care for children from birth through to the age of four.

The nursery offers a stimulating and fun learning environment for children to play and develop at their own pace.

Children progress from the Baby Room (0-18 months) to Toddlers (18 – 30 months) to Lower Pre-School Class (2-3 years) to Nursery Pre-School Class (3-4 years).

For those parents that prefer a term time only option, an Early Years teacher-led Pre-School Class for 3 and 4 year olds, housed in Beech House (Bolton School Infant School), provides an excellent alternative.

The Nursery has strong links with Beech House but children do not transfer there automatically.

My son has been attending this nursery for a year and I feel happy and confident about his time and care here. The staff are friendly, caring, personable but also well educated and approach their interactions with the children with a perfect mix of care and education. The facilities are lovely, they
take time over the play areas and often change the activities. The small details they add in ensure learning and play happen hand in hand throughout the day. I am also happy with the food provided, they have recently updated the menu and it has added in more wholegrain foods which is great to see.

I like Bolton School Nursery, the staff are friendly and my daughter's both love going there. Like all nurseries, you have your little quibbles, but the staff at Bolton School Nursery do try and iron out these quibbles quickly. I especially like the apprentices, they are a really friendly bunch and
you know they will become really good carers once they qualify.

Excellent nursery. We did not hesitate to send our second child and will soon be sending our third. The progress that our son has made since starting in November is incredible. He has settled well with staff and his peers and looks forward to going.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.060)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.060) out of 10 for Bolton School Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Bolton School Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.06 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bolton School Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.06

  • 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.
