My son attends this nursery and it’s one of the best that any of my children have been to. The staff are friendly and I know when I drop my son off that he’s going to be well looked after.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was nine months and she is still there now at four-years-old. I have never had any issues - the staff are so approachable and have a great relationship with my daughter. Great communication and they can never do enough. This nursery has helped her to grow
and flourish. Fantastic nursery with amazing staff.

I can't thank the staff at the nursery enough. My daughter has loved every minute of being there. She has developed so much and learnt a lot in the time she has been there. She is sad about not returning in September.
Amazing nursery and staff. Would highly recommend.

My 2-year-old grandson loves going to this nursery. He has made his little friends and relates well to all the staff and is a happy little boy there. There are so many activities for all the children and a diverse range for all individual needs. He enjoys the food and is developing very well in all
areas. Staff are very approachable for any concerns arising. I feel extremely satisfied that my grandson is well looked after and safe at this nursery.

I hold this nursery with the highest regard, we took the decision to move my son from another local nursery, we chose Brookvale after being able to drop in for a visit and loving the atmosphere from the first moment. All of the staff are the friendliest, happiest, warm welcoming nursery workers I have
ever come across. It has truly been the best decision to attend this nursery, my child has come on leaps and bounds and has become a happy child Which is absolutely priceless, we can’t Thankyou enough for your support so far,
The space inside is not crowded and the outdoor space and facilities are brilliant.
Paperwork and communication is fantastic too. Overall extremely pleased.

Absolutely fantastic nursery! My daughter has been attending 3-4 days per week since she was 10 months old. I was apprehensive leaving her from such an early age but the staff have been incredible. She loves every day she spends there and would happily be in 7 days. She has thrived in the time she has
spent there and staff have made, what was initially, a difficult transition for myself leaving her, a very pleasant one and I can only praise all the staff- they are a credit to the nursery.

This nursery is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting here just over a year ago. The staff always keep us informed and included when it comes to her development and the day to day general communication is brilliant. I highly recommend Brookvale Nursery. Your children
will be in extremely safe hands and they will also create a little bond with them too which is lovely to see. I also believe the educational aspect is above expectations as they do go above and beyond when it comes to children learning new things. There is never a dull day when my daughter is at nursery, she is always coming home having done something fun, educational and different.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.656)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.656) out of 10 for Brookvale Nursery 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.942 for Brookvale Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.942

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brookvale Nursery is based on 10 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.714

  • 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.
