My grandson of 18 months started at Carr Manor Nursery earlier in the year, initially apprehensive and shy, but after 2 sessions that changed. His face lights up and he is so excited to go in. He loves the staff, running in to get cuddles. He has come on so much learning lots of new skills, joining
in and sharing. I can't praise the staff there enough.

I honestly couldn't of picked a better place for my son. After looking around all the local nurseries, Carr Manor was our favourite by a mile. Both me and my partner agreed we have picked the right place and the staff honestly couldn't do more for you. They made sure my son settled straight away, which
takes all the worries away from us and he now runs in without looking back, which as a parent honestly is the best feeling and proves we picked the right nursery for our son. I would recommend to anyone who is looking!

Carr Manor has been excellent with taking care of our daughter and getting her prepped for starting school. They've done that great a job, we are looking to start our son in the nursery when maternity leave finishes.
Thanks to all the Carr Manor team.

The practitioners at Carr Manor are second to none. Each and every person has made our family feel welcome. The settling-in process was taken at my son's pace, the staff is amazing with the children and parents. Always a thorough handover and reassurance from staff. It was easy to trust the staff here
as they are so open, warm, and welcoming. My son runs to his favourite nursery nurse every morning for his morning cuddle before breakfast and there's not a price you can put on that to know how settled and well-looked after he is while I'm at work.
Also like to add my son had several allergies when he started here and the staff and chef were just amazing! My son didn't miss out on any food or experiences due to his allergies. The inclusion made a difference so he could eat and enjoy food with his friends. I would recommend Carr Manor over and over it's the staff that makes you feel that your child is safe with them.

My little boy has been going here for over a year now, and the staff are so polite and friendly.
They have helped my little boy grow and come out of his shell, helped his confidence grow and also helped him with his eating, as he isn’t a big eater.
He’s made friends, he’s always excited to go and
loves the staff.

Both my sons have attended Carr Manor. My youngest is still there at the preschool. The nursery staff and management are amazing. The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming. I have never had any issues and both my sons have loved attending. The staff are always happy to discuss the different learning
stages and what we can do to help at home with this progression. The activities are always fun and educational and they make sure there is outdoor time each day. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone - from babies all the way up to pre-school. Excellent nursery and staff.

My child started nursery at 9 months old and ever since she started she seems to be absolutely thriving. She goes in each day with a huge smile on her face and is welcomed by the happiest and cheeriest staff which makes dropping off a breeze. Staff always take their time to go through her day with me
and always give me a detailed overview of her day which is always lovely. All staff are super friendly and my child loves each one. She loves going to Carr Manor and I’m so glad I chose this nursery for my child. They fulfil all her needs and more and she will continue her journey from the baby room till she leaves for school.

Our little girl started with Carr Manor in July/August 2023. The settling-in process and communication from staff since then have been nothing short of outstanding. They worked really hard to reassure us as parents and my little one was smiling her way into the nursery within a matter of days. The staff
are always happy to see the children and have individual relationships with each child. It's really nice to see and very very reassuring as a parent.

Carr Manor Nursery was great with helping my daughter settle into nursery. The staff are lovely, friendly and my daughter has developed a great relationship with them. They are always encouraging my daughter and she has really come along these last few months. I couldn’t be any happier with Carr Manor
and know my daughter is safe and very well looked after there. She enjoys going to nursery.
I am a shift worker and their flexibility is fantastic. I highly recommend this nursery.

Very pleased we chose this nursery. Our little boy started a year and half ago, when he was about one, and has been well supported by all the staff throughout his time with Carr Manor.
From what I’ve seen, the staff are really great with the kids, who are encouraged to be polite and respectful to each
other, get involved in a good variety of developmental activities and have fun.
Thank you all.

Carr Manor was great at helping my daughter settle into her new nursery, the space is large and facilities/activities are fit for each age group. They split the older and younger babies and I found this to be beneficial for my daughter’s development, she has come on loads since joining six months ago.
The practitioners and key workers are lovely and I and my daughter felt comfortable with them from the beginning. I love how structured the development is for each child. The nursery has been very accommodating towards flexible days/sessions to work around our work schedules.

My daughter loves going to this nursery and has settled in really well. The staff are caring and have built strong relationships with her. Their ‘in the moment’ planning means children’s interests are catered for and their activities are engaging and stimulating. My daughter’s communication and social
skills have improved dramatically since starting at Carr Manor. Thank you to all the staff for your time and effort looking after our children!

We could not be happier with Carr Manor Nursery. Our little boy has attended for over a year, since he was just 7 months old. The staff are all friendly and caring and provide a really welcoming environment. Our little boy has made really good relationships with the staff and other children and gets
lots of opportunities for a variety of play and learning experiences. We would highly recommend it to our friends.

We have been so happy with our daughter's progress since she started at Carr Manor Nursery in January 2020. Our daughter is currently in the pre-school room and is really flourishing. She is starting to learn how to read, spell and even do sums thanks to the encouragement of the staff. One amazing thing
the staff do is base activities around topics the children are interested in, for example, a lot of them love space so they’ve been learning all about the solar system and they’re also obsessed with a film so they worked together to produce an amazing piece of artwork of the main character in the film. Her key worker is incredible and they have a really close bond. She’s always thinking of different activities for her to do and that pushes her learning forwards. When I asked my daughter what her favourite thing about nursery is she said everything.

My son has only recently started here and he’s loving it. I was very nervous at first because he was settled at the old nursery but I’m very glad I’ve enrolled him at Carr Manor Nursery. The staff is brilliant and their flexibility is fantastic. Highly recommend.

Was looking for a new nursery for my boy. Until someone recommended me to have a look at Carr Manor Nursery. Rang the office straight away, made an appointment to view the nursery. Deputy manager spent with me over 45 minutes to show me around and explain everything. Took my boy for a few hours' visit,
absolutely loved it. Highly recommended because I felt very comfortable there and my boy is happy there already.

Fantastic nursery and pre-school! All staff are great. My little boy loves going to Carr Manor Nursery, he always comes home talking about phonics or the songs he’s learnt or the ice lollies he’s made to list a few! They also go to the park, the cinema, put on Christmas nativities, give the children
opportunities to learn football and dance and drama! Cannot fault them and I can’t wait for my little girl to join in April. Thanks Carr Manor - doing a fantastic job!

Our daughter started at Carr Manor Nursery in August 2021 having transferred from another nursery when we moved house. We had no complaints or issues with her previous nursery and we thought everything was great...until we moved to Carr Manor which has far exceeded it in every way imaginable.
All
of the staff are so welcoming and kind, it feels as though every member of staff really knows her and takes an interest in her as an individual. Don't even get me started on her key worker because she is an angel.
Our daughter is always telling us about the new things she's learned and the different activities she's been doing. She's super keen to learn and that is in a big part thanks to the staff at Carr Manor. Every morning when she wakes up she asks if she can go to pre-school today and gets so excited when the answer is yes.
I have no doubt she'll be more than ready for school and will take it all in her stride thanks to the work of the amazing team at nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.778)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.778) out of 10 for Carr Manor 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.964 for Carr Manor Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 4.814 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Carr Manor Nursery 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.814

  • 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.
