The under two's space has lots of sensory items as the babies begin to explore and discover their senses. They have their own separate sleep space. Toddler and Preschool rooms have different areas such as sand and water, construction, art, home corner, role play and dressing up, physical ramp, music area, maths and more! All rooms have direct access to a dedicated outdoor area as well as smaller areas that can be divided to be more age specific. The nursery has its own onsite sensory room.

Experienced staff set a great example for the apprentices who are eager to learn and develop further. 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.

Fantastic nursery! Girls that work here are amazing, managers are so lovely and understanding. Updates are very good throughout the day and newsletters are amazing. My little boy has been going here since his previous nursery closed. Come on so well, has settled in fantastic. Key workers are amazing.
I have no bad points about this nursery, exceeded all my expectations. My little boy has come on so well, talking, engaging with activities and even had his first day trip out. Staff work really well with children and are so caring. 5 star nursery. I will definitely send my next baby here.

This nursery is brilliant! My daughter attended here 9/10 years ago and loved it, it's also still run by the same management. My 2 boys now attend this nursery and also enjoy going every day! They have helped with both my boys confidence! Can't thank them enough. Highly recommend

Paintpots was recommended by my friend whose twin boys attended the nursery. I have to say after looking at other nurseries in the area this was by far the best. The staff in my son's pre toddler room are just amazing, I can't thank them enough. I get a written report each term end to discuss my little
boy's progress. Each day I get an update and pictures to let me know what they have been up to and what he has eaten throughout the day. The staff as a team supported him to become potty trained when he first started. Nothing is too much trouble at all. All staff are friendly and encouraging. I would highly recommend Paintpots nursery, they have been outstanding!

It's a lovely nursery and the staff is very caring and open. The food is very good and I fully trust the staff with my two boys. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents. Both my sons really enjoy playing outside, dancing and singing. The activities are really tailored to their needs.

My daughter has been at Paintpots since she was 1 year old, starting in the baby room and now in the toddlers. She was a lockdown baby and the staff were all so attentive and caring towards helping her (and us!) settle in, and still now with helping her to potty train! Parents are updated regularly
via the app during the day but still get a full breakdown of their day during handovers. They do a lot to keep the parents involved and always put on little events for us parents too! This is honestly the best nursery we could have chosen.

My daughter started in January and was a typical "lockdown baby", who struggled with meeting new people and adapting to different social situations. She has come on in leaps and bounds and is completely comfortable. She shows this as she runs in each day with a smile on her face and talks about her
little friends as well as the staff whilst at home.
Management have been extremely professional and are very approachable.

Paintpots Nursery is a fantastic place for your child. My son has been going for a year now and the progress the teachers have made with him is amazing. His speech has come on leaps and bounds and he is now more sociable and plays with other children. He only attends one day a week currently so they
have achieved so much, in a short space of time. The teachers put a lot into their key children. I get daily updates when he is there through the blossom app and term time reports which are so informative and helpful. The indoor and outdoor space is excellent there is so much to do whilst there. My son got a place in three schools to start in September but I have decided to keep him at Paintpots until he starts reception as the level of care and attention my son gets is second to none. I would highly recommend this Nursery to attend.

My son has been going to Paintpots for a few months now. He has settled in really well. The staff are amazing with him. At the end of each day the staff go through everything he has done that day and what he has eaten. I love the updates on the app as I get to see what he has been doing. All the staff
members are amazing at what they do and it really shows in how much much my son loves going to nursery. He has learnt so much since starting. Not got anything but praise for the Paintpots team.

I cannot speak highly enough of this lovely nursery. My little one is always so happy to go and see his friends. He is always warmly welcomed by staff members who ask how he is, throughout the day I am updated with news of how his day is going and on collecting him I am always given more information
about his time there. It's so nice to hear of his achievements, he is thriving and very happy.

My son has been going to Paintpots Newall Green for over a year now and he absolutely loves it! He came out of his shell so much in his previous room and has just moved into the preschool room now! Love that they have a Spanish session every week. All the girls are so lovely and even when my son cries
leaving me in the mornings, I know he will be fine and is given lots of cuddles! Would definitely recommend this nursery.

I probably could not be able to express my gratitude simply through this review. The team is extremely caring about my kid and they helped him a lot with his understanding of the word. They helped us in terms of his educational plan and other support that will certainly help my child in his journey
to fully develop his cognitive abilities. Very responsive and helpful with the paperwork and any educational related enquiries. I can genuinely recommend this nursery to all the parents and their little ones!

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old. She has developed into a confident, funny and clever little girl with the help of the team at Paintpots. All the guys are so friendly and one staff member, in particular, will go above and beyond to make sure your children’s needs
are catered for. There is such a lovely family atmosphere to the nursery that I couldn’t imagine leaving her anywhere else. Thank you for all of your hard work.

I brought my youngest daughter here after her older sister had attended for 18-months before she started school. The staff had always been attentive, caring and just generally lovely so I didn't even consider anywhere else to send her.
She flourished so much in there, her speech and understanding
of the alphabet, phonics and number was amazing!
Paintpots are always the place I mention or recommend when people are asking for preschools.

Both my children have attended this nursery from being six months old, they are now 8 and 4. They currently attend the holiday club and love it. The staff are friendly, polite and approachable. The manager is very professional and is approachable and there to discuss any query’s also, both the owners
have been brilliant over the years. My eldest has additional needs, and they respond to him in a caring and understanding manner and have made every adjustment to cater to his needs and what makes him feel comfortable. I honestly couldn’t rate this nursery highly enough. It’s why I’ve been using them for the last 8 years!

Thanks, Lisa, as one of our first Paintpots parents ever, it's lovely to see you still regularly with both children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.890) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.890 for Paintpots Newall Green is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.89

  • 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 26 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 26 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.
