  • Conkers Day Nursery, Blackburn
Conkers Nursery in Blackburn is purpose-built and offers childcare to children up to school age.

Children are stimulated at the nursery and faced with activities that challenge so they can learn more about themselves and their interactions with the world around them.

Children can develop physically and emotionally in the nursery's natural, wooded outdoor area where they are encouraged to explore and investigate in all weathers.

The nursery is split into four units - The Baby Unit (0-1 years), The Tweenie Unit (1-2 years), The Toddler Unit (2-3 years) and The Pre-school Unit (3-4 years).

Awful! I put my baby in nursery, when I came to collect, she was in a room full of other babies who were crying, clearly distressed, led on a matt on the floor staring at the ceiling, she saw me and burst out crying. I left with her very upset because she is my baby, she was very unsettled for the rest
of the day. I decided to remove her from the nursery and was informed I would have to pay 3 months of fees. When I asked to pause the payment until the matter had been investigated, the manager told me she would send the bailiffs to my house. She spoke in an unprofessional manner, showing threatening behaviour. I contacted the senior manager and conveniently the footage from the cameras had been deleted, bearing in mind this was only a month later. Do not trust your baby in this setting.

My daughter has been attending Conkers Day Nursery now for just under 12 months. At first, she was very shy, but going to nursery has really given her that confidence she needs. She loves the staff, and dropping her off I can see how much the staff enjoy looking after her. They are very attentive and
know everything she does and doesn't like. Her speech has come on so much from being at nursery and I believe that watching some of the older children has also helped with her development. Most importantly, she has learnt to play and share with other children and it's great to see this in person when she's at home / away from nursery. The staff do a brilliant job and I'm sure that will continue.

In the last 6 months, my child has come on in leaps and bounds. His speech has improved dramatically. His confidence and approach to all aspects of life have grown substantially.
The staff and nursery's efforts have to be commended. The love attention and time spent on our child are now clearly showing.
I am over the moon.
Thank you to all the staff and everyone who looks after my son. Your efforts are clearly showing. Keep up the good work.

My 2-year-old son has been at nursery for 6 weeks. The nursery has been extremely welcoming and supported his development. He now runs into nursery in the morning as he enjoys it so much. He has a great bond with his key worker and I couldn't ask for more.

Current Review Score: 7.3 (7.328)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.3 (7.328) out of 10 for Conkers Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 3.875 for Conkers Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (25 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 3.875

  • 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 3.453 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Conkers Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.203

  • 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.
