My grandson loves it here, absolutely bob-on. He's been going here since he was 2 years old and never had a problem with any of the staff, even when he may have been a problem for them. Keep up the good work girls.

Since my little one started last April (2023) he has come on so much. He loves going to school and we can really tell a difference in his speech and vocabulary when he has been off for holidays. He has started to eat all kinds of different foods, not just the beige ones. I really have no issues at all
with any part of the nursery. I just wish he could stay there forever.

Highly recommend the General Day Nursery. My daughter loves being there, she’s having lots of fun, learns so many things every day, her speech improved a lot and her English is so good now. The staff ladies are amazing, they are going beyond and above.
Now my son begins to attend this nursery, and
I am so happy to know he is in good hands.

This is one of the best nurseries by far, all my grandchildren went here and they all loved it. They came on leaps and bounds even their speech was amazing for their age. All the staff are so lovely and go above and beyond to keep all the children safe and happy.
Highly recommended.

My daughter absolutely loves General Day Nursery and the staff. She is always happy to go there and full of smiles when we pick her up. The teachers are caring and my daughter loves them all. It's her second year there and we are very happy we chose this nursery. She's learned and grown so much in the
past year, she loves her friends and looks forward to going back every day.

General Day Nursery is an amazing nursery, every member of staff made us feel welcome and that my child was just as important to them as he is to us at home.
Everyone knew my child from the staff, owner and chef, this made me feel less anxious as I knew he had a good rapport with everyone in there.
The
care they provide is person-centred and I feel this makes them special, nothing is ever too much and no question is ever too silly.
I would recommend this nursery to everyone, I cannot fault the care and education my child and I experienced during his three years here.
I will use the nursery again but this time for the holiday club as he is now in school because I know I can trust the staff with my precious child.

Fantastic nursery with a lovely home-from-home feel to it and the staff are all amazing. They are very accommodating and will try their hardest to work around the hours you need, a lot more flexible than other nurseries I have experienced.
There are always lots of fun things going on and the children
get to go out on walks and visits and experience other ways of learning.
Always stay and plays happening too which has helped my little boy feel more comfortable in the environment knowing that myself and his siblings are also welcome at nursery, he knows it is a safe space and has a great bond with the staff.

Nursery is always so good with my daughter. She has learned and developed so well during her time here, and nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff. She sees them as a family, and they treat her like she is too.

Excellent nursery. Both my children have attended the nursery and the staff go above and beyond to support the children and make them feel welcome. My youngest son who recently left had an issue with eating and a phobia of a lot of foods. The nursery staff did everything they possibly could to encourage
and support him in trying new foods and the chef would make him something different if it was a dinner or snack he had issues with. I would highly recommend the nursery.

My son has been attending General Day nursery for 3 years and I am so happy with the care that is provided. The staff are caring and knowledgeable and have helped my son in many ways including gaining confidence.
If you want a nursery with staff that care for your children and only want the best for
them, then this is the nursery for you.

My daughter started at General Day Nursery only 3 weeks ago and in that time, the change in her has been amazing. We moved her from her previous long term provider of 2 years as it was no longer suitable for her. I regret not moving her sooner.
The nursery is fantastic. Staff are second to none and
cannot do enough for you and the overall welcoming atmosphere received is just lovely. The activities they engage in with the children are brilliant and my daughter is so happy. Even though she’s only been with them a short period of time, I can see how much she has benefited in that time and how much she has learnt. Lovely nursery with happy staff and happy children.

Amazing nursery. They have gone above and beyond for my little boy, my little boy has additional needs and General Day Nursery have done everything they possibly can to support him and include him in everything they do. They provide exceptional care and all the staff are lovely and will go out of their

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.990)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.990) out of 10 for General Day Nursery 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.990 for General Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.99

  • 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 General Day Nursery is based on 25 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
