My twin boys have attended Small World Nursery since 9 months old and are now 3 and a half! The manager and the whole team have been wonderful over the years. The boys have developed so well and they particularly helped us so much with the dreaded potty training! I also love that they have the option
to go to swimming lessons in pre-school too. I would recommend Small World Nursery to anyone looking for somewhere in the local area.

My little girl has attended Small World Nursery for the past 2 years, she struggled to settle but all the staff are so lovely and have helped her with this. I did actually move out of the area, and change nurseries but soon took her back to Small Worlds as the new nursery just wasn't as good! She is
starting school in September and we will miss everyone. Thanks so much for all your help and care Small World.

Absolute brilliant nursery, my daughter has been coming here since 8 months old and she's now 3 and a half. They do so much learning with the children my daughter loves it here. The staff are so nice and welcoming. The nursery is very homely and inviting. I love that the older children can go swimming
every week this has helped my daughter's confidence in the water so much. She always loves the food provided. The nursery has been very accommodating to her needs and if her hours ever needed changing. The manager is amazing and is always available to help with anything queries or questions I have.

My daughter has been at the nursery for approx 18 months since she was 1 year old. As the nursery is small it's super homely and the staff really get to know the children, form strong bonds with them and can tailor the support they give to each child. They have a variety of activities they do with the
children and my daughter is super happy there. She can't wait to be taken for swimming lessons next year.

My 1-year-old has been going to the nursery for a couple of months now. I could not recommend a better place. My little boy's development has come on so fast since being at the nursery, and I’ve never seen him so happy and settled so fast anywhere.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for a few months now, and she's absolutely loving it. She doesn't want to leave when it comes to the end of the day. The staff are so kind to her; they have created a unique bond with her and are great at calming her down or comforting her when she's upset.
I
highly recommend this nursery.

I find Small World Nursery very welcoming. It has a lovely homely atmosphere and the staff care for the children as if they are their own. I have had a year's experience with this nursery and wouldn't hesitate in going anywhere else. I would highly recommend Small World Nursery.

My daughter has been attending Small World Nursery for over a year now. She loves all the staff at the nursery and can't wait to go in the morning. The curriculum they use has really brought her along and she is thriving. The staff are amazing.

My child has been at the nursery since they were three months old and has always been happy. There have been lots of changes over the past three years, but these haven't affected my child's well-being at the nursery. They keep me updated with what's going on and how my child is progressing on a regular
basis. If you ever want a chat about anything, the manager is always happy to help and offer any advice. Overall, you can tell that the staff at the nursery enjoy their jobs and care about the children who are there.

Amazing! I honestly could not recommend Small World Nursery more. When we were looking for our daughter's first nursery back in April 2022, we looked at a few places, and none of them gave us the same feel as when we walked into Small World. We still feel the same today. My daughter loves going to nursery
in the morning, and I know she is having a good time from the updates on Facebook and Instagram. I cannot praise the manager and all the staff more.

I currently have my 22-month-old twin boys at Small World Nursery and they have been attending since they were 9 months old. The management team are absolutely amazing and develop strong relationships with parents. The staff are very caring and support our boys very well. The setting is very warm and
exciting. The nursery follow the children's interests and are always changing the environment, as needed. Give the manager a call and take a look around!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Small World 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.991 for Small World Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.991

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Small World Nursery 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 9 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.
