Since joining this nursery my child has improved her learning skills and made lots of friends. This has helped her speech development and learning skills.
The staff members have been very helpful in helping her make herself understand and communicate using the correct vocabulary so that others children
and teachers know what she is talking about.
Thank you for all your support.

Lovely and caring staff, always look after our daughter so well. She is always so happy to go in as she always has a nice day. They arrange different activities for the children all the time. Great app to keep up with what our child is doing in nursery each day, accompanied with pictures and videos
which make us so happy to see.
Will definitely be bringing our next child to this nursery too!

Sky high achievers is such a cosy, warm nursery where you are made to feel welcome at all times. Both my son and daughter have attended this nursery. Soon after they both started their speech came on rapidly!
They give nothing but love to the children here and are genuinely there for the children
and their development.
All of the ladies that work inside this nursery are amazing people, I am fussy about a lot of things with my children but they respect all of my wishes 100% and go above and beyond for anything I'd ask.
Couldn't have picked a better nursery for my children to learn and grow. Me and dad really do recommend sky high Denton!

My son has attended Sky High Achievers Denton since being 9 months old, it's such a massive relief to be made to feel so comfortable about leaving your baby and going back to work, all of the staff have been amazing with my son and me. I love sending him and he loves coming! Thank you to all of the
staff for being so caring and supportive. Thanks to four members of staff in particular. You really are all amazing!

My son has been attending this nursery 3/4 days a week since he was 10 months old (now age 3) and I could not recommend the nursery enough. As a first-time mum, I was nervous about finding the perfect setting for him to attend however I'm so glad that I came across Sky High Achievers Denton.
The girls
are absolutely amazing and have no idea how much they have helped me in my journey as a single parent raising a little boy. They say it 'takes a village to raise a child' and I am so glad that we chose the nursery to be a part of our village.
The activities that they plan are fun and educational and I absolutely love seeing videos and pictures of my son on the dedicated app. I love that they encourage the children to be independent with things such as plating out their own food and even giving the children the opportunity to participate in preparing their own food.
The staff are always happy to answer any questions and I cannot thank them enough. I'll be sad when my boy leaves next year.

This is an amazing nursery. The staff couldn't be more accommodating for me and my two little boys. I lost my children's father and my partner so tragically and was really struggling. The nursery took it upon themselves to let my little boys be picked up later than their normal times (free of charge)
and has shown me nothing but empathy and patience with what we have had to go through. I would recommend this place to everyone I know and I would like to thank the nursery for showing me sympathy and love at this hard time.

Reply from Fiona Atkinson, Owner at Sky High Achievers Denton

My son really enjoyed his time at The Bungalow. Both he and myself have received lots of support in his learning journey, he was encouraged and supported in his toilet training, speech and social/ sensory issues. Being able to leave your child in someone else's hands and feeling confident and comfortable
to do so is incredibly hard, and important as a parent, and I can say I really did feel that way.

My son attended here 2021- 2023.
When we first looked around I loved the smaller setting, the staff were all welcoming and friendly and the forest school looked awesome - it was perfect!
The manager helped us apply for the free childcare hours, and we had regular progress meetings on his development.
It
became evident that our son was different, it never crossed our mind that our son could be autistic. With their guidance/support, we threw everything at it, got the referrals he needed, and applied for DLA.
Helping us navigate the EHCP process (which was really intense), they recommended specialist 121 schooling, but this was not available to him. Due to this, the nursery let our son stay an extra term with them before he started at a new resource base in a mainstream school.
I truly cannot thank them enough, our son has come on leaps and bounds whilst being there. They have become like an extended family to us and we will always be grateful for everything they have done. Thank you!

I could not recommend this nursery enough! My daughter has been attending 3 days a week since she was 2, now 4 and about to leave for school. They have been incredible with her and since we all picked up on my daughter having additional needs they have done everything they can to make sure she got the
help she needs and everything she'll need to move on to school. All the staff are lovely and have been massively supportive to me and my daughter through some very rough times, they work so closely with everyone that it's like having another family. The outside is amazing, they even let the children get involved with gardening and decorating. Such a well-rounded nursery. I highly recommend to everyone for their children!

I would just like to say that as a grandparent who is now a main carer, cannot praise this nursery enough. A particular member of staff and the whole team have been amazing with my grandaughter with her ongoing social and emotional needs and nothing is ever too much for them.
Her development since
last year has been amazing she is much more independent.
Thank you.

My daughter attended this nursery from January 2022 until March 2022. A lovely lady signed my daughter up as she was running the place back then but soon left as she was expecting a child. The nursery quickly settled my daughter in and eventually a lady was assigned to be my daughter's key worker and
she was a lovely girl who did truly look after my daughter efficiently when in her care I could not fault this girl at all. All was going well until new management took over and then the atmosphere changed and the new manager did not seem to know anything about me and sent me a large bill claiming I had never paid since January and charging me for days my daughter was not in attendance. Did not like her tone with me and put me off the place, then I went on another review platform and most staff had left a review of themselves which is bad and shouldn't be allowed. The outside space is fantastic, all false grass so it is safe and the nursery does cook its own meals. Rarely updated on the app.

Reply from Fiona Jones, Owner at Sky High Achievers Denton

Dear Jodie, thank you for your review. We are sorry to read that you weren't happy with the nursery and chose to leave. I note you left in March which is when we took over and fortunately have been able to make lots of very positive changes to the nursery since then. Transitioning as new owners was difficult as we only had the information we were given from the previous management. This may have been the reason you received a bill as we were not told that you had cleared your arrears which they handed over to us. We are pleased to read that the care of your child was of a high standard and we strive to continue this and indeed make further improvements.
The new manager has now settled well and is making great progress and is getting fantastic feedback from both staff and all of our new parents. I note you have scored the staff as poor and the care and yet you note in your comments that staff and care were lovely. We wish you well in your new chosen nursery.

It was a good nursery until new management took over and a staff member settled my daughter well. However following a serious accident resulting in my daughter having a black eye (that still hasn't healed more than 6 weeks later) and CT scan plus 2 trips and a stay in hospital the manager and owner
(mother and daughter) told 2 different accounts of what happened and who was present at the time of the accident (email proof of this). Of course, accidents happen but the least I expect is to be told the truth.
Would not trust this new management team. Beware of recent 5* reviews on another review website, look up the names, most are staff, related to the owner, and the owner herself actually left a review! It's embarrassing! I know when I'm looking for reviews I want honest reviews from real customers not from the staff and owner/owner's relatives, as they obviously aren't going to leave a bad review.
Please do your research on this company including other nursery owned by her that was closed down following a complaint.

Was great until the new owners took over. Firing £25 fines at people for £9 underpayment. My son does shorter days. I was an hour late dropping him off, half hour late picking him up. £25 fine even though he attended for less than his 6 hours. He does Mondays and Thursdays. I pay for 12 hrs a week
52 weeks a year, on bank holidays used to be able to change to another day if they had space, not allowed anymore so I am actually paying more per session than if I sent him on Tues and Wednesday. Used to be flexible about changing days... not any more. I've cancelled his place. He always cries and says he doesn't want to go anyway so not sure what that says about the place.

I have two children at this nursery. They have settled very well and really enjoy going. The staff are really good and so helpful. Would definitely recommend this nursery. The staff go out of their way to help you. My children love being outside playing. When I pick them up, I can see them having loads
of fun with the staff outside.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Sky High Achievers Denton 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.962 for Sky High Achievers Denton is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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 Sky High Achievers Denton is based on 11 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
