Keep up the good work.

Lovely nursery and amazing, caring staff who have a wonderful bond with my child. Feel like my child is safe and in good hands. Just wish that they had more early years activities for maths and their phonics development, apart from that really happy. Want my child to spend more time outdoors when the
weather permits.

Lovely nursery environment and my son enjoys his time here. Some variation in the meals provided would be appreciated as there are no halal options available. Staff are always happy to answer questions and are helping with toilet training.

My son has been going to Children's Place Halifax since he was 9 months old - now 3 1/2. Nursery have helped him to progress well and I feel I can always approach the staff regarding any concerns I may have about his learning and development. I would recommend to anyone.

My eldest daughter previously attended the nursery and loved it, finding the staff to be like extra family and making plenty of friends on the way.
My 2nd daughter is now in attendance at the nursery and has fallen in love with the place and staff just as quickly.
I am a qualified nursery nurse
myself, so have fairly high standards when it comes to choosing childcare for my own children and I cannot ask for anything better when it comes to Halifax Children's Place.
The staff are kind, friendly and accommodating. They really take the time to get to know each child and their families personally, working closely with parents/guardians to provide the very best service.
I am expecting another child in December, a baby boy, and have already said that I will be sending him to the nursery too.
I trust the staff with the most precious people in my life and they have never made me regret that decision. I'm very proud of them all and pleased to have found them.

Before we chose The Children's Place Halifax we had visited four other nurseries. In The Children's Place, we saw that the staff didn't simply look after the children, they genuinely did take care of the children. Dedicated, warm-hearted and committed staff have shown our daughter truly parental protection
and kindness. We have never regretted and thank our lucky stars we had made the right choice.

Overall the nursery is amazing, my son fell in love with the place from day one. He was the one who chose this nursery. The staff are amazing and they really do seem to put all their time and energy into nurturing your child. My child has come on leaps and bounds and is becoming a very intelligent and
caring boy.

We have nothing but positive experiences with Children’s Place! They’re very inclusive, accommodating and are great at communicating with us via email, the nursery app and at handovers when we pick up our child. I was put at ease straight away when I met the team and knew we’d chosen the right nursery
for us!

There are good parking spaces outside the nursery and the premises inside are nice and clean. There is a lovely garden area which my daughter loves to play in. My child comes back happy, learning new things. It's also great to see her pictures and be told of her day. The staff are really caring and
seem to look after the children well. I am thankful that this is a lovely place for my child to attend.

The nursery is great, all the staff are lovely.
I can always get in touch and they always get in touch with me if there are any problems.
My daughter always comes home clean and happy.
The only thing I would mention is the app isn’t always updated, I know staff are busy which I can totally appreciate
but some days there isn’t anything on at all but again I know how it is with a room full of noisy monsters!

All three of my children have gone to this nursery and the staff have gone above and beyond for all three of them, they're so understanding and thoughtful. I get along with all the staff here, when you've been with them for so long you realise how much of a big family they are, they all work so smoothly
and compassionately together. I would highly recommend this nursery to family and friends as they're all just amazing. Not only have they taught all three of my children but they also helped and supported my son with his diagnosis of autism and followed our journey into getting the right support and communicated well with authorities so well into getting my son EHCP (education, health and care plan) which, because of them, will give him the best chance at the best start of education.

We highly recommend Children's Place. The staff are amazing and caring. My daughter goes to nursery with wonky bunches in her hair and comes home with beautiful French plaits which I think speaks a lot about how well she is looked after. She happily skips into nursery every time. She gets really excited
to see her friends. And she calls all the staff her friends too.
The staff encourage learning and development and are great at helping the children socialise and interact with each other. They sing songs, read stories, and have loads of fun indoor and outdoor activities. I love seeing all the photos that are posted on the app throughout the day.
The staff are really helpful and always available for a chat.
It is a fantastic nursery.

My child has been attending Children's Place since 2022 and the improvement I’ve seen in her is vast. My child is a lockdown baby and as a result, was extremely clingy and struggled to be with anyone but me for any length of time. I really didn’t think I would ever reach a point with her where I could
just drop her off and she would happily say bye to me and go off for the day, but she does! (Some tears some days but she’s fine as soon as I’ve left). The relationship the staff have built with my child and the care and affection they show her is second to none. She absolutely loves her time at the nursery and talks about the staff, children and the activities she’s done all the time. They have so many dedicated days to different celebrations and there’s always something fun happening for the kids to be part of. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is fab and my child eats food at nursery that I struggle to get her to eat at home! I honestly couldn’t be happier!

This nursery has been amazing for our little boy. They have gone above and beyond to make it such and enjoyable and place he likes to be. They provide him with all the things he loves to do and his one-to-one is just the best, knows him really well and we feel he is very well looked after and cared
for whilst he’s at nursery. Thank you all so much for your help also on our family journey over the last 18 months.

My daughter started here in November 2022. She settled in straight away, the staff are lovely and always take time in the morning to make sure they greet her and get her settled for her day ahead. I’m very happy with the quality of care they give the children at the Children's Place. Parents are always
involved in your child’s nursery life from updates when she’s in the nursery to parents evenings. I would 100% recommend this nursery to other parents.

I am overwhelmed at the input given by Children's Place Halifax Day Nursery, the team have moved mountains to assist with the care and support of our little one, enabling us with the correct input needed for moving forward to obtain the correct educational/support needs for our little one. We have fantastic
one-to-one care and support, they accommodate us at short notice, as well as supplying a special diet. As a family, we couldn't ask for a more loving, caring support network.

My son loves attending Children's Place Halifax and I feel confident that he is well cared for and happy within the setting. I receive regular feedback on the blossom app which is really reassuring and lovely to see. He had a fantastic bond with his previous key worker and has recently moved up to preschool
and has settled in nicely. Thank you Halifax Children's Place!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.722)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.722) out of 10 for Children's Place Halifax is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.722 for Children's Place Halifax is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.722

  • 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 Children's Place Halifax is based on 15 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
