The staff at Spring Grove seem to genuinely care about the children they look after. They are good at communicating and involve and support families, acknowledging any concerns/anxieties.
I have personally been met with openness and genuinely feel confident when I leave my granddaughter in their care.
I am able to monitor how she is getting on, via the app, though on occasions do also ring, or speak to staff when dropping off/picking up.
It is lovely how they are inclusive of all cultures, celebrating differences and the uniqueness of each child. They really make the effort to celebrate all seasonal events with appropriate activities which are age related and fun.
The nursery is obviously well managed, the positivity of the management team is noticed, and the younger staff members appear supported and happy in their work.
My granddaughter is happy whilst there, so that makes me happy. Thank you.

Our Son has been at Spring Grove Day Nursery since he was 10 months old and he absolutely loves it. Getting out of the car might be emotional but as soon as he see's the front door his smile goes ear to ear. The staff have been an incredible support for him and they've provided us with so much wrap
around care to support his development. We hear lots of mixed reviews from friends about their nurseries but we are comforted by the fact that the staff at Spring Grove go above and beyond.

My daughter has attended Spring Grove Day Nursery since she was 7 months old and she is now in pre-school. She loves going to nursery and has made some lovely friends. Her confidence is grown so much with the continuous encouragement from the fabulous team at Spring Grove. My youngest is due to start
in the next few weeks and I can't wait to see how he develops under the guidance of the lovely staff in the baby room. Big thank you to Spring Grove for all of your support over the years.

Our little boy started at Spring Grove Day Nursery in September 2024. We have felt completely at ease every time at drop off. The staff are really pleasant and very informative at pickup. We are always welcomed with a smile and we feel confident our son has a lovely time each day he attends. We are
kept in the loop with all of his daily activities and sent lovely photos of him enjoying himself via the app which as parents puts our mind at ease.
We are very happy with the progress is making at Spring Grove and more than anything he is really happy attending.

Can't fault Spring Grove Day Nursery at all. Took my daughter a little while to settle in (she's clingy) but the staff were so patient with her. She's now in the pre-school room and comes home telling us all about what she's done each day and how nice all her teachers are. The staff always take the
kids outside, even when the weather isn't great. They're always reading new books and doing activities relating to the books which is nice.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Spring Grove Day Nursery is a lovely welcoming nursery where my two children enjoying going. The activities are well planned and educational development is clear to see in both my children. Staff movement around the rooms is kept to a minimum and my children develop close bonds with their teachers.

We've been at Spring Grove for a long long time my older children attended and my youngest has not long started (well about 8 months ago) overall you can probably guess how wonderful it is for us to stay and keep coming back. My second youngest is currently in preschool and wow! How much he has come
along is amazing he can spell his own name and even write it in a straight line (I work in a school and some of our reception aren't even at that level yet). The staff are amazing and always encourage the children to learn to the best of their abilities.
Thank you Spring Grove I know he is going to miss you so much when he leaves in July for big school.

Cannot thank the staff enough for everything they have done; they have brought my daughter on so much. She absolutely loves coming to school and seeing her teachers; they have encouraged her so much with her speech and brought her out of her shell. Staff are constantly updating the app with pictures,
and she’s always bringing crafts home. The staff are so friendly - would recommend it to others if looking for a nursery!

My son has attended this nursery for 2 years now and I and my partner could not be more pleased with the care he receives. All the staff are fantastic and you get a warm welcoming feel when entering the nursery. It is always clean and lots of lovely things going on for the children. My son's key worker
is lovely as are all the other girls in his room. The management team have always been very helpful and welcoming. I can't recommend these enough, best decision we made choosing Spring Grove as a nursery for our Son. We can't thank the team enough.

My little girl has been at Spring Grove for over a year now and I can honestly say it was the best decision I made putting her in the nursery. She has come on so much and all the staff are so so lovely. She talks about the girls all the time. They always do lovely things with her and really care for
her. They do so much for all the families, I attended a Mother's Day stay and play and it was lovely. The nursery has so much to offer and the management are so helpful.

I absolutely love Spring Grove Nursery, my little boy who's now 8 attended from 18m - 4 and loved it and now my other little boy (2) started at the nursery from 8months. I can't thank spring Grove enough for how they have helped my little one grow and learn and become so confident in his own little
way, he loves being there, never a worry dropping him off because he is in such great hands with all the staff, they are so caring and love what they do and it shows. Would definitely recommend!

My little loves attending this nursery. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. My little boy has struggled to communicate. The nursery staff have taught him since he has started here. He goes in every day with a smile on his face and comes out at the end of the day the same way. Would recommend

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Spring Grove Day Nursery (West Derby) 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 4.850 for Spring Grove Day Nursery (West Derby) is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.85

  • 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 Spring Grove Day Nursery (West Derby) 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, 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.
