My son has attended Kalgarth since he was 13 months old and has been extremely happy there. The staff are amazing and really care about all of the children. My son loves going to Nursery and has learnt so much. I am extremely grateful that I can go to work knowing my little boy is happy and having fun!

I genuinely could not fault Kalgarth Grange and their staff. My son has been here since January and has come on so well. His social skills have improved, along with his physical development. You can tell how much the staff care for each child, and I really like how the management greet us as soon as
we walk in with a hello, I think that's a lovely touch. The staff are so welcoming and have a smile on their faces

The nursery is the perfect environment for our son to thrive. During the day they have plenty of activities. The meals have very good variety and are balanced it is a real credit to the nursery's kitchen personnel. The outdoor facilities gave a really good size and equipment. Our son really enjoys and
sometimes is difficult to take him home at the end of the day as he is really happy there. The communication is great providing a detailed handover sheet every day. There is always plenty of nursery staff in every room and they pay great attention to all the babies and toddlers. Thank you all for your great service and effort !!

I am really pleased with the quality of care my son receives. The staff are very friendly, always smiling and accommodating. Their professionalism is high quality, and I have noticed a signifiant positive response to the staff whenever I see my son around the staff. I feel at ease with him being in
nursery, and he thoroughly enjoys his time there and is developing really well.

My baby started in January and I can't praise the nursery enough they have been so lovely and supportive. The staff always have smiles on their faces. She has settled in really well and has the best time, she has made lovely bonds with the staff in baby room and has come on so much already. I always
receive a detailed description of what she has been upto during the day and recieve lovely photos. I honestly can't thank Kalgarth nursery enough and would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a warm and friendly atmosphere.

I can't thank Kalgrath nursery Warrington enough for all the work they do. All the staff at Kalgrath take so much care in making sure families feel comfortable from the induction to daily handovers. The nursery are always great with communication both via the app (events, messages), but also each day.
Being a first time parent, it was quite daunting leaving my daughter at nursery full time. But my little girl loves nursery and that is down to all the staff who look after her, the activities that are planned and the brilliant learning environment.

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough! I had viewed quite a few nurseries in the area and the second I walked into Kalgarth, I instantly knew this was the one. The staff are amazing and managers are open for any questions and enquiries. I also feel this nursery isn't full of individuals who are there
just for a job, the staff are there because they love their job and love the children they are around.
I was understandably upset about my daughter starting nursery, as it's a big change in both of our lives, however when I walked out of her first settling in session, I was exciting for her to start. She absolutely loves it, enjoys the huge amount of toys and activities they have available and have bonded with the staff very well.
Finally, it's the little touches this nursery provides which I think, makes it like no other. Such as parents evening, report cards, "first day" pack for parents.

Amazing nursery! Our little boy currently goes to Kalgarth and absolutely loves the setting, at such a young age too (just turned 1). The practitioners are all very professional, caring and compassionate when it comes to looking after the children. There is a real family feel to the nursery and it's
clear the staff are all one big team. We have received daily updates of what our little one has got up to during his day, all the varied and fun activities along with photos! It's such a reassurance and comfort especially as working parents, to know they are happy and feel part of their day. Our little one has come along leaps and bounds too - they have supported him at each stage I.e. crawling, walking, communicating - and really encouraged his development through active play for each milestone! Feel really grateful to have a setting he feels so comfortable and happy in, and genuinely looks forward to going each day.

Outstanding! Our first daughter spent nearly four happy years at Kalgarth and loved it! We were so happy with it that when we found out we were pregnant with our second, Kalgarth were the first we told to ensure we secured a place for her.
Our second daughter has now been there for just over a year
and is looked after by a lot of the same staff who looked after our eldest - a sign of the consistent care given there.
The staff are superb: kind, friendly and welcoming and both our daughters have thrived there. They offer a wide range of activities and regularly report on how the children are developing.
If you're looking for a nursery, look no further than Kalgarth!

Kalgarth Nursery has been an excellent choice for our daughter. She has learned and developed so much whilst being there, whilst enjoying every single day that she goes. She wakes up each day looking forward to going to Nursery and always speaks about the nursery workers when she gets home. We couldn't
have made a better choice for Nursery for our little girl. We love the way they celebrate national days and theme days and how they encourage participation with the children and how much the children enjoy this. We can tell every day that the nursery workers adore the children in their rooms, and the parents are always welcome too.

My daughter has been here since turning 1 and is about to turn 2. She absolutely loves it here, the staff are very warm and welcoming and you can see how much they enjoy spending time with the children. She did go to another nursery for the first 6 months as my eldest son went there and we moved her
when he went to school nursery. To be honest I wish I'd moved both of them to this nursery earlier as we love it! I've rated value for money as a 3 because the cost of childcare is ridiculous but I know that all nurseries in the area charge similarly so that's no fault on the provider and more of a reflection of the system itself.

Great nursery. My eldest joined 5 years ago and then my youngest 3 years ago. We moved during Covid to the other side of town but we love Kalgarth and the staff we decided to stay here even though we have to commute. I think that says a lot and how grateful we are for the communication and bonds both
my children have made at this nursery.
Both children are more than ready for school now (both June birthdays too). The staff have gone above and beyond to teach the children and they are above what they are expected to learn before going to school.

I absolutely love Kalgarth and all the staff. It feels really safe and you can tell the staff not only care for the children but for the caregivers. I remember being really sad when my eldest started and they couldn't do enough to make sure we both felt at ease. My little girl is three now and is absolutely
thriving thanks to the help and support from Kalgarth. There are always lots of different activities days to keep it interesting for the children. They also help and support to grow on your child's development at all stages. The food is always a great variety and lots of seasonal fruit and veg.
My daughter skips in each morning saying hello to all staff members, she is always so excited to go nursery and to see her friends and teachers. What more clarification is needed when your child is happy and safe!

My youngest son is at Kalgarth, soon to finish and start school. I cannot fault the team at Kalgarth, with their care and support for him especially as he has some extra care needs around his speech. My elder son also attended Kalgarth and we have nothing but positive things to say about the nursery.
I know that my boys have always been very well cared for and would recommend the nursery to everyone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Kalgarth Grange Nursery School 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.957 for Kalgarth Grange Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (424 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 442 Ratings = 4.957

  • 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 Kalgarth Grange Nursery School is based on 37 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 37 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.
