Lovely clean nursery and very friendly staff, always helpful and easy to talk to. My eldest child settled in very well and would always ask to go, even on weekends, which made me feel very settled. He attended for over 4 years. Now my 2 year old has been attending. Goes in happily and comes out happy.
The staff are lovely, and I am kept up to date with all information through the app. Great nursery - do not hesitate to send your child there!

My daughter joined the Children's Place Halifax after her original nursery of 1 year closed down due to covid. I was very nervous as I knew how much my little one liked her nursery as well as her key worker. However, moving nurseries has been the best thing that ever happened to her. The staff are absolutely
amazing from high up management to my little one's key workers - my little one's speech and interaction playing with other little ones has come on leaps and bounds. The nursery constantly keep me posted on the app with my little one's activity and what she's eating during the day. I drop my little one off and she goes in with a big smile on her face and on the additional days I have to work and tell her she has nursery she's happy to go in! I would recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of putting their children in nursery - the service you get is simply outstanding! Thank you

This nursery is fantastic my daughter loves going, she has come out of her shell so much loves learning, playing with other children, etc the nursery has helped her so much with playing with other children it’s not something she was used to at all. They have helped with her potty training kept up with
what we were doing at home which has helped a lot and she is now fully potty trained in no time at all, the staff are all really helpful, friendly and go out of their way to help. I would highly recommend this nursery to a friend.

Staff are friendly and caring. The staff provide a range of activities for the children in the pre-school room, including a variety of creative pursuits in the messy room. Water play, sparkly dough, painting, sand, bubbles, shaving foam and junk model making are all encouraged.


My child is very settled

there despite having only been attending for four months so far.


Furthermore, I've found the nursery to be very flexible and accommodating to changing days, sometimes at quite short notice which is extremely helpful if/when your personal and work commitments change.

My son has been going to this nursery since being in the baby room. He has just started preschool and I have no problems with this nursery at all. The staff are very friendly and my son has grown since he has started. He looks forward to going which speaks for itself.

The staff have been fantastic and give me lots of feedback about what she has been doing and how she is progressing.
My daughter is more confident and is happy to go to nursery.
I would definitely recommend the nursery.

Children's Place Halifax is an excellent nursery and I would highly recommend it to anyone with young children.
The staff are always very welcoming and interested in your child's time at home.
They support the individual child to develop their own interests and skills through supportive play and will
support your ethos as a parent in how you choose to raise your child.
My daughter loves her time there and skips up the steps and in the door.
I am truly confident the staff cherish her learning and development through adventure and explorative play without compromising on safety.

Our child joined the nursery in January, he has settled very well, being his 1st setting in 3 years, we were all a little anxious but the support the staff have shown him and us has been wonderful. They have helped us all ease into nursery life with no tears (well a few from me). They have been consistent
in their approach, guidelines and friendliness. They have a fantastic team and feel lucky we picked the right nursery for us.

My son has been attending the nursery once a week since September and I would definitely recommend it. All the staff are friendly and my son seems happy to go, he always seems to have had a good day when I pick him up. He is learning a lot through play and socialising.

My daughter started nursery in October last year. It was a worrying time for us as we didn't know how she would adapt and what it would be like for her. All of our worries and concerns were soon put to rest by the warm, caring pleasant staff in the baby room. With lots of love and reassurance my daughter
soon settled in and thoroughly enjoys going to nursery. The environment is happy and friendly, these vibes are apparent as soon as you enter the building. There is a very positive and caring atmosphere which you can feel in every room. Also the food is excellent. Nearly every day my daughter comes home with big ticks against all her meals, she sometimes has seconds. Before she came to nursery she was quite fussy.

The nursery provides a developmental book for each child. This is an excellent way for parents to see progress and development of a child. The staff are helpful. They encourage each child to develop confidence by having activities like baking.

It is a very good, excellent nursery, my other 3 kids have gone to a different nursery. They went to same nursery but my youngest one is going to this nursery, she is so much cleverer at that age its just unbelievable. Recommend my family and friends to take the kids to this nursery.

My daughter settled in very well in the nursery within the first few weeks though we expected it to take longer. She is bonding very well with her key person and learning new things everyday that she comes to nursery. The staff have really been warm and supportive. It has been a nice experience overall
and we hope it will be all good in the future also.

My daughter has been attending Children's Place Halifax since she was 10 months old. She has always been happy here, well cared for, well fed and gently encouraged to develop all the skills she'll need when she starts school next year. I will be sad when she leaves but happy in the knowledge I could
not have chosen a more lovely place to send her while I went to work

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.
