All staff have a detailed understanding of the EYFS and carefully observe and plan activities for all children to continuously learn and develop through play based activities. All staff are first-aid trained.

To ensure best practice the team has regular staff meetings and use parent questionnaires and meetings with professionals to ensure 'best practice' as well as being able to call upon the support network of the other Paintpots settings.

The staff at Paint pots day nursery have helped me tremendously with supporting my disabled daughter, they helped us both with her transition to a specialised school and still take her in during the holidays they have given me the best support when it comes to other professionals in her life too. My
2 year old attends the nursery 3 days a week and since she has started she has come right out of her shell and started communicating a lot more whilst engaging in lovely play because of her key workers supporting her and spending lots of time with her.

My child has attended the Nursery since 12 months old and is now 30 months old. My child has suspected SEN and the staff have supported us as a family getting the support we need. They support my child very well & he has developed so much. The nursery also has an amazing sensory room, which really helps
to regulate my child. I have recommended this Nursery to friends whose children now go here, who are also happy with the Nursery. If I ever have any more children they will be attending here for sure!

My son attends Paintpots and is currently in the preschool room he has been here since he was 5 months old and he will be leaving in the summer to start his transition to school . The girls in the preschool room are fantastic and work so hard to develop new skills and make activities fun and exciting.
My son has had so many opportunities in preschool such as swimming lessons dance lessions and fantastic trip opportunities. The uniform is perfect allowing him to get into a routine ready for school . Everyday he comes home and tells us about all the fun he's had with his friends and the staff what more could you want knowing your child is safe happy and thriving in the environment . There is always fun stay and plays for myself and family to attend ensuring everyone is included . Paintpots is by far the best nursery and we as a family wouldn't go anywhere else .

Can't thank Paintpots enough for how well they care for both my boys, especially pre-school room!
They have both come on leaps and bounds since starting and made even more amazing progress since being in pre-school.
My older son is non-verbal autistic and he would not be where he is today without
the support from the staff, he is now signing some makaton which this time last year I would of said he would never be able to do it!
I'm so thankful and going to be gutted when they both leave for school!

My 22-month-old daughter has been coming to Paintpots since September.
She has come on so much in the baby room. The staff, especially her key worker who she is so excited to see is amazing with her and she is excited to come 3 mornings a week.
Did so much research in finding the right nursery,
visited over 15 and Paintpots just felt right and I haven't been disappointed. Thank you so much.

I'm so happy I made the decision to send my son to Paintpots, the staff are so friendly and welcoming and have made his experience here enjoyable and happy. He has settled in so quickly and comes home saying he loves nursery.
He has a nap there no problem, he eats the home-cooked food no problem,
and has started to make some friends, it's a happy and relaxed atmosphere which helps the kids feel safe and comfortable.
Thank you for providing such a fantastic place and great care for my child.

My son started this nursery and has some dietary requirements and food needs and I couldn't be any happier with the way we have been supported and helped with this. He really enjoys going to nursery and playing with his friends and staff members. The staff members are incredible, each and every single
one of them. The nursery is well-maintained and clean and secure for your children. We've tried other nurseries in and around the area and none come close to how impeccable this nursery is. Although it is a business, it feels more like home-from-home childcare. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy.

My daughter started Paintpots in September 2024. I was so nervous bringing my daughter as with my other child in a different setting (not Paintpots) there were a lot of issues. As soon as my daughter came here the staff were amazing. So reassuring that she would be fine. My daughter loves every minute
she spends at Paintpots and loves the staff. My daughter has developmental issues and speech. So Paintpots has done everything it can to support her and me through it all since she has been here her confidence has come on so much, her speech is a lot better and now they have put extra support in place to make sure she can meet her targets. Without Paintpots I honestly don't know what I would have done, so if anyone is looking for somewhere to bring their child then please consider Paintpots. It honestly is 1 of a kind and you will not get better. Their staff are fantastic and the managers are so understanding and amazing.

My child has been going to Paintpots since she was 2 and now she is over 3. She loves going to nursery and always comes out smiling. The staff in the nursery are welcoming and helpful when needing support around speech and language or support around my child's dietary needs. We love seeing the updates
every day on the app and can communicate easily on this. Definitely would recommend this nursery.

Paintpots is an amazing nursery. My son has come on so well since he started attending in September 2022. He has grown in confidence, made friends and loves going. The children have so many learning opportunities through sensory and messy play, and there are always activities ready for the children
each morning. Staff are warm and welcoming and my son loves all of the staff in his room. Staff are kind and caring. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for Paintpots Newall Green 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.886 for Paintpots Newall Green is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.886

  • 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 Paintpots Newall Green is based on 25 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 25 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.
