Amazing nursery! My little boy loves it here. So welcoming and patient with him when he started and was really struggling with me leaving him. Now he runs in with no stopping. Daily updates when he is there just melt my heart and are a lovely way to see what he’s up to during the day on the app. Lovely
staff and management - very observant.

Playdor is a wonderful nursery and one of the best decisions we have made for our child. He has attended Playdor since he was 9 months old and still loves every minute of his time there. The staff are brilliant and each individual brings their unique skills to work with them, however, they all possess
the same excellent fundamental attitudes of care, patience and vigilance which are so important when you are entrusting anyone with the care of your child. They place a real emphasis on developing key skills right from the beginning and are committed to nurturing learning and development in a fun and relaxed environment. We have developed a long-lasting relationship with the Playdor family and would recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding care for their children.

All my children have been to Playdor, and the staff are exceptional, and the care is outstanding, and I value and trust them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Playdor.
They have become part of the family and treat my children like their own. The staff go the extra mile every day and maintain professional
standards. My older children still talk about the nursery and the happy memories and friends they made. The staff understand every child and adapts and responds to suit their needs. Thank you.

My daughter has attended Playdor Higher Walton since she was 9 months old and absolutely loves nursery. All of the staff are so friendly and caring and my daughter has such a nice bond with the staff, which has been a big part in helping her to settle in. The activities they do with the children are
varied and there’s always something going on! An amazing nursery, thank you!

My two sons go to Playdor, Higher Walton. The staff are truly amazing and only have the children and families at heart. The care, friendliness, attention, dedication and teaching is outstanding. The management have always been very supportive and very accommodating with my work. I wouldn’t send our
children anywhere else and thank the staff enough for what they do.

My son goes to Higher Walton Playdor and I can’t thank them enough for the love and care they put into looking after him and the other children.
Being only 10 months old when he started, it was daunting for all of us, but within 2 weeks there were no tears from my son but clapping hands and reaching
out for his key worker.
This is all the reassurance you need.
The updates on tapestry are so welcomed and it’s great to see their day to day activities.
The manager is so accommodating and is the glue that holds the whole place together. It wouldn’t be Playdor without her.

My daughter loves nursery. She is my second daughter to attend Playdor Nursery School and it was a no brainer when signing my youngest up to nursery, we didn't look anywhere else. She has been full time since baby room and is nearly leaving for school. We will miss the Playdor staff when we leave -
they are all super helpful, friendly and as my daughter says "funny teachers". The manager always has the children's best interest at the forefront of any decisions made. It is an excellent nursery and with the staff create a lovely family feel, making you trust them with your child.

We love our nursery, older son loved going there and misses it now as he is at school. Our little one just runs in every day, excited for the morning ahead of him! All the ladies there are amazing and very helpful, really happy we chose this nursery some 3 and a half years ago and wouldn't go anywhere
else.

Playdor nursery is amazing. My daughter is thriving in their preschool. She has so much confidence and is growing so much thanks to their amazing teaching and nuturing.
The nursery nurses really care for the children like their own and it really feels like an extended family. My daughter loves going
and even asks me if she can go at the weekend.
I can't recommend Playdor enough.

My son began attending Playdor Higher Waltonin October 2022 and I cannot recommend them enough, he has been happy there since day 1 and has never got upset when I have left him. He feels so comfortable with all staff (especially his key worker) and has the biggest smile each morning when we walk in.
All staff genuinely care about every child who attends and know their personalities inside out. My son was unwell initially on starting and they were so supportive. They have fantastic communication levels, any queries they have or info they want to inform me of they always give me a call. The activities which they do with the children are always fun, stimulating and great for their learning and development. When choosing a nursery, I looked at Playdor Higher Walton as it was very highly recommended to me from friends-this was the first and only nursery we looked around before making a decision. After experiencing the high quality childcare first-hand, I have also passed their details on to friends.

Playdor Higher Walton has been part of our lives for the last 8 and half years as my eldest child attended and now youngest and I can't thank the team there enough for all the support they have given over the years!
It's so nice to see staff who were working there when my eldest attended!
Overall
the nursery is lovely and clean and it's lovely to see all the activities they do throughout the days and weeks, the staff have always been friendly and helpful.

This fantastic nursery and its staff have been amazing with my daughter from day 1.
The confidence my daughter has got from being in Playdor Higher Walton has been amazing to see. A member of staff in the baby room was very patient and never gave up helping my daughter grow.
She kept us informed
about everything she did and as parents, we couldn't be more grateful.
Since moving into toddlers, her confidence has grown even more, she has become more chatty, more playful, and more and more paint on the clothes day by day.
One member of staff has brought my daughter's confidence out even more and every morning we get told she's going to see staff at the nursery.
This is amazing to see and hear, and it's all thanks to the manager and the rest of the team at Playdor Higher Walton for running a fantastic nursery and actually caring for the children. Once again, thank you everybody!

Although I cannot compare firsthand, when discussing nurseries with my friend /colleagues, it is clear we hit the Jackpot. My experience is only for the baby room so far but wow, I am blown away by the way they care for and love my little girl. The updates we get aren't repetitive/token but detailed
and well thought-through. We love checking Tapestry and engaging/uploading ourselves. The menu in the baby room is amazing and not many nurseries I've heard of offer full meals 3x per day (usually some sandwiches thrown in). This is a testament to the nursery making the most of your fees- which of course are well deserved.
The space indoors is lovely and well planned. I have, however, been unable to see the outdoor space due to covid/this not being offered so cannot answer for that. Then again, the babies aren't outdoors much!
Finally and most importantly, my little girl has really thrived since joining. We are so happy with her progress!

The staff at Playdor Higher Walton are so welcoming and make you feel at ease.
Both my children have settled so well at nursery, and I believe that is down to the wonderful bond that they have with the staff, who go above and beyond to learn about the children's interests and needs so that they settle
quickly.
The environments across the nursery are engaging and filled with lovely activities and opportunities for the children. Both my children have had the opportunity to take part in sports, dance and drama, which have been great for their development and confidence.
I would highly recommend Playdor and thank them for the great care they provide.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery for 2 years and her development has come a long way, the girls throughout all of the rooms have helped her through every stage from eating, potty training and making new friends.
She loves the outdoor play area as there is so much to do and explore as well
as being taken to the park when the girls can.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.396)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.396) out of 10 for Playdor Nursery School Higher Walton 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.880 for Playdor Nursery School Higher Walton is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 4.516 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Playdor Nursery School Higher Walton is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.6 = 0.616

  • 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.
