My little boy has attended the nursery since he was 9 months old. He is now 2 years old and smiles every morning walking into nursery. His development has come on leaps and bounds since starting the nursery and the staff team always go above and beyond for the children and families.
The nursery is
great at communicating and are always so friendly and approachable if I need to ask anything. I am beyond confident that my little lad is safe when he is there and there is always a happy atmosphere.
The staff team are experienced and highly qualified which reassures me that he is getting the education and care that I want for him.
It is a wonderful nursery and I am so happy that we chose this particular nursery for my little boy. I feel a part of the Nina's community as a Dad and I look forward to his future at Nina's Nursery Davenport.

Our daughter started Nina's Nursery in Davenport when she was 9 months old. We cannot fault the care, kindness and support of all the staff. Our daughter beams when she goes into Nursery and this is a credit to the loving relationship the staff have built with her. She loves all the activities, the
outside space and the nurturing environment. We are so pleased with how settled she is and cannot thank the staff enough.

Thank you so much for such lovely feedback! It has been lovely to see how much she has blossomed over the past year and we love being a part of her Early Years journey.

We are so happy with Nina's Nursery, we have a one-year-old and a nearly three-year-old who both attend. The team are so friendly and caring with both of our boys. The daily photos are reassuring that the boys are both happy too.
They are both progressing well and I truly believe this is due to the
efforts of the nursery team and the varied curriculum they use.
Our eldest loves to go into the forest and look for trains through the window from the forest.
We have nothing but good words to say about this nursery.

Reply from Kate Goddard, Nursery Manager at Nina's Nursery (Davenport) Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted that your child loves our forest and outdoor spaces as much as we do. We really appreciate your support.

We started our 11-month-old at the start of January. He was a breastfed/co-sleeping baby, who was always a little shy at baby groups. I was worried about how he would settle in, but the staff here have been absolutely magic! He is able to nap at the nursery for 2 hours at a time and is now so much more
confident in his interactions with other babies, in and out of the nursery. There are always detailed updates throughout the day, communication is clear and prompt, activities are varied, thoughtful, and fun, and the staff shows nothing but love and care for all of the kids. On a weekly basis, I tell my family how happy we are for choosing Nina's Nursery, and Davenport in particular.

My little boy has been going to Nina's Nursery in Davenport since he was 10 months old. He loves all the staff there and has grown and developed so much in the last 14 months. His favourite place is the garden which he adores, playing in the water play, with the cars and using the climbing steps and
slide! His confidence has grown so much from being part of this nursery and the fun he has there shines through.

My son is leaving Nina's this week and has been there since he was in baby. The staff are so caring, and the management team are so approachable.
Our son has made lots of friends and come on so much. We love that he suddenly shows us he can do something, and he's like, "yeah, learnt it at nursery"!
Thanks,

My child has attended Nina's Davenport for four years, and I have found it to be outstanding from the outset.
It is a smaller nursery and has a really close-knit family atmosphere. The staff are friendly, professional and really know and care about the children. There are different and varied activities
every day, and on collection and through the app, you are kept in the loop about what they are up to. The written reports on children's progress are very informative and of a high standard. The facilities are great, especially the outside area. Safeguarding is taken seriously.
Honestly, could not ask for more, I feel that my child has been given an excellent start to life at Nina's and that they have thoroughly enjoyed their time here.

Our son has attended Nina's Davenport for 4 years and will be leaving to start school in September. We have been so impressed with Nina's throughout. The staff have been caring and loving and know him very well. They have always had his wellbeing at the forefront of all the work they have done with
him and have paid real attention to his progress. I will admit that we initially thought of nursery as just childcare which would enable us to work but in reality it has been so much more than we had hoped for in terms of an all-rounded early years education. At the end of the day he frequently doesn't want to leave. We are so happy with Nina's that we will be sending our daughter there too when she is a little older.

A beautiful nursery full of wonderful, attentive staff who truly understand the concept of the unique child. My son adores coming to nursery which makes my working life a whole lot easier. My mind is at ease knowing he is receiving quality care and his development has come on leaps and bounds since
he started his journey in January! Safeguarding is the highest priority for the nursery, which is most important for me as a parent. The best decision I have made, he has made friends, is beginning to communicate using more words and is confident and caring because the girls at the nursery have enabled him to be. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough! Thank you to the team at Nina's Nursery Davenport.

Nina's Nursery Davenport is a brilliant nursery. The staff and environment they have created for the children is brilliant, especially with the development of the outside area and classroom. My little boy loves going and has been supported with his development from day 1.
During December the children
had a different focus each day which focused on Christmas activities and learning about winter. The activities and topics are always varied and the staff listen to the children and will talk about what they have been doing out of nursery and also turn it into a new learning experience.
Overall we are really happy with the nursery.

Lovely nursery, feels so homely and like family and one of the reasons I picked Nina’s at Davenport and the other reason I picked Nina’s is how it isn’t a big nursery, it's small and cosy. All the staff are incredible, my son comes on leaps and bounds everyday and also giving him plenty of affection
when he’s upset gives me reassurance as a mum. Love the connection he’s made with the staff and his friends.

My daughter has attended Nina's Nursery (Davenport) Ltd since January 2023. Previously, she attended a different nursery nearby in which we had an awful experience, so when I started looking for a new nursery, I was very nervous. Safe to say, I wasn't nervous very long. The team at Nina's Davenport
were an absolute delight and put my mind at ease straight away. My daughter is now 18 months old and absolutely loves going to nursery - gets excited to go and even gets sad when she has to leave. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Both children have loved Nin's Nursery, settled in well and never not wanted to go. We really like how much time they spend outdoors, encouraging play and getting a bit grubby! Very supportive with potty training and developing children. The app is good for pictures and being updated. Would be great
if there was some flexibility in swapping days/using holidays - we have lost so many days due to this. The care they provide is excellent though and I wouldn't change it.

We have found Nina’s Davenport to be a lovely homely setting with a great outdoor space. My daughter settled well when she started and has made happy and secure attachments with staff and other children. The staff plan a range of different activities and my daughter has had a good learning experience

The app is really useful for the daily updates and 2 way communication.

Davenport Ninas has made the transition from leaving our baby and returning back to work seamless and stress free. The staff are amazing and it has been so comforting knowing our baby has been cared for by such lovely staff. There are always so many updates of fun and exciting new games and challenges.
We especially enjoy getting photos and seeing our baby having so much fun with his friends and staff. The staff are also great at providing progress of development on the Famly app, which is brilliant! They have now started ‘stay and play’ sessions, which we are looking forward to attending more of. We are very happy to send our baby to Nina’s and we know he loves it too!

We have two children attending Nina’s Nursery Davenport, one is 18 months old and one is almost 3 years old. Both have attended since around 9 months old. The children are always keen to wave us off at the door, a sign they are secure in the setting. The app the staff use to communicate with parents
is vastly superior to the paper-based approach used at other nursery services and it is a joy to see photos of what they have been up to each day. I am a particular fan of the nursery’s outside space and getting the children outside in all weathers. The only negative I would mention is that staff turnover is quite high. Both of our children have complex needs, with the elder having a disability and the younger having multiple allergies. All care has been to a very high standard and I would not hesitate to recommend it to other parents. In fact, I have recommended the nursery to several friends - some of which now have children attending and others are on the waiting list for a place.

Extremely poor communication from the nursery. My daughter did not receive any of her free childcare hours, after four months a refund payment of 42 hours was given out of a calculated 21 weeks owed. Been trying to arrange a meeting to resolve this but just been repeatedly fobbed off with that they
are unavailable when I am.


With regards to education, the nursery has also done very little to progress my daughter in this area. I was given a promise that they would focus on developing her phonics and reading skills to which I saw no active work on this in her final year at the nursery.


They have little understanding about culture and diversity and proceeded to teach children during their week learning about the world that my daughter's heritage is pirates. As they did no research into the history or culture of the people of the Caribbean, they decided to teach the children about ‘pirates of the Caribbean’ which is causing misrepresentation of people of colour from a young age.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for Nina's Nursery (Davenport) Ltd 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.934 for Nina's Nursery (Davenport) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.934

  • 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 Nina's Nursery (Davenport) Ltd is based on 14 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 14 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.
