The Mosaic nursery team are brilliant. My son has been with them since he was nine months old. They are warm, caring attentive and have built great bonds with my son. They offer lots of different play and learning activities throughout the day and the outside play area is just brilliant. Management,
nursery staff, catering and cleaning staff - can't fault anyone. They are all great. So pleased we chose Mosaic for our son.

Mosaic is a fabulous nursery, the staff are very kind and nurturing with both my twins. I can see that both my children have developed, and they have excellent relationships with the staff, and talk about them in our home environment. The manager is very good and is as flexible as possible, and always
knows your child by name.
Would highly recommend the nursery.

Both of my children have attended Mosaic from being babies and my youngest is currently in the preschool room.
Both my children have loved going to nursery. There is a great feeling of warmth there, and all the nursery nurses are on hand to give the kids a hug if they need one. The team also really
invest in the kids and are excited for them when they do well\and achieve a milestone.
I find the management team always understanding and flexible where they can be with days and hours. They always help when they can.
There are lots of themed activities, and the kids learn through play and are taught about basic life skills as well as spending loads of time outside which I love. My favourite activity was that they picked blackberries in the garden and made them into pies!
My elder daughter has allergies and skin problems, and the team took everything in their stride with respect to this; which gave me great confidence.
I would wholeheartedly recommend them!

We are so glad we chose Mosaic to send our son to. We knew it was the right decision within the first week as he was really well cared for and the staff all gave him a lot of love while also being exceptionally professional and well organised at all times. Our son has been with them for 18-months now,
and the service has always been the same - exceptional. Mosaic is a fun and friendly place that is well run and somewhere my son loves to visit each day. He knows all the staff's names, and you can see they are really fond of him and he is taken great care of. The staff as individuals; are really lovely and as a team they are brilliant. I'm so glad our son goes there and cannot recommend them highly enough.

The staff are fantastic, facilities great and the little boy absolutely loves going every day.
His progression in the three months has been great, and it’s clear that the staff all care about him and each of the children and parents they have.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.938) out of 10 for Mosaic Centre 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.738 for Mosaic Centre is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.738

  • 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 4.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mosaic Centre is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.5

  • 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.
