My boy loves all the staff, in particular his key worker. He is often unsettled when I arrive, as soon as she intervenes he's fine.
This is a good nursery. My boy likes going and has been attending for a year.
He is developing well.
The girls are all very helpful and keep staff updated via PA app.

Both of my children attend Spring Grove Day Nursery. My children enjoy coming to nursery and the staff are kind and caring. I would recommend this nursery to parents who have children that they are wanting to put into nursery.

My son adores coming here, currently three afternoons a week but will hopefully be doing a full day also from March. He's almost 9 months and waves his arms and beams at the staff when they open the door to us. They are friendly, professional, empathetic and extremely well connected to the children.
They keep you well informed on progress as well as daily updates from the individual sessions. I would happily recommend this nursery to anybody.

Going back to work and putting my daughter in nursery at nine months was the most daunting thing for me as a mother. She has a number of allergies and I was just terribly worried about leaving her in the care of somebody else. However, after just one day of her being in nursery, I knew this was the
right nursery for her. The staff are all amazing. They cater to whatever her needs are that day. I can’t thank the chef enough. She is amazing. She cooks to suit my daughter's dietary needs and without any hiccups.
My daughter has come on so much since being in Spring Grove and all of my anxieties of leaving her, have completely disappeared. I just know how well she is cared for there.

My son has been at Spring Grove nursery for 12 months. He really struggled with separation anxiety which affected his settling into nursery in the beginning. The staff at Spring Grove were fantastic in managing the situation and expectations, working with me as a partnership in order to settle my son.
He started off in the baby room and has just progressed to toddlers early on the advice of Spring Grove as they closely monitor each child and promote progression in the child's interest.
It's clear to see how much they look after, care for and form strong bonds with the children in their care. The variety of activities they carry out with the children are really beneficial for learning and development. My son has developed and exceeded expectations in his communication and socialization skills whilst being a member of Spring Grove nursery. The staff are fantastically amazing and take an avid interest in each child and communication is excellent. It really feels like a partnership.

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.
