The staff are absolutely lovely! I have a soon-to-be 3 and 4-year-old and when I drop them off in the mornings they run straight in excited to go to nursery and sometimes when I pick them up they're sad to leave. I'm so happy I found this nursery for my kids, I know I'm leaving them in the best hands.

Our daughter started in Snowdrops a couple of months ago. I was worried about how she'd settle and how we would all get used to the change of me going back to work but we're so pleased we chose The Valley. The staff have been excellent. Our daughter is flourishing and loves to go to play with her new
friends. We would definitely recommend!

My child joined The Valley Nursery just before his 1st birthday, he is now 3.5. The staff have been so nurturing and genuinely care about meeting his needs. Being happy and settled is my absolute priority as a parent, however they have also had a huge impact on his progress in all areas. I love to receive
updates either via the app, when picking him up, or at the regular parent-key-worker meetings. The routines that are established day to day are evident in the way my son talks about his nursery day, and the nursery has been on a journey of transformation recently with improved provision indoors. It has been wonderful to see these changes and to know that the nursery are continually working hard to provide our children with the best possible experience. My son also enjoys his forest school sessions and the outdoor provision available to each age range. My daughter will be joining close to her 1st birthday next year and I have absolutely no hesitations for her nursery journey.

Lovely staff, feel really good about my children being in the nursery. They always come out really happy and I love to see what they've been up to during the day.
Always highlight any concerns which is useful to know.
Love that they have welcoming days before going into new groups and always get a
chance to see where they'll be moving into.
Really happy with the variety of snacks they have during the week. Things even I can't get them to eat they'll have.

My child has attended the nursery since 2021 and has always been happy there and made lots of friends, going through all of the different rooms as he grew up. A nice big space for the kids and they are always happy to be there.

My son has been attending since he was 1 and now almost moving up to Poppies as a 3-year-old. Very happy with everything the nursery has done and offered! Excellent staff members with great communication and personal care and attention to the kids. They treat the children as if it's their own - what
more is there to ask for! Amazing team, keep it up and thank you for all of your hard work!

Outstanding nursery, can't praise and thank each member of staff enough for the care and support for my daughter whilst in poppies. She came out with a smile on her face every single day and there was so much time and effort put into everything they did with her each day. Always greeted with a smile
from all the lovely staff. I will always recommend this nursery to anyone who's looking for their children. Thank you all.

We're really pleased we chose The Valley Nursery, the staff are like an extension of the family and work really hard to integrate into our life by incorporating life events such as birthdays into the activities our little boy does while he's with them. They've really got to know his personality and
he's bonded with them so I always feel like I'm handing him over to people who care about him.

We absolutely love The Valley Nursery for my daughter. She had settled in so well in the next room up and she is so excited to go to nursery 2 days a week. They've massively supported her with her toilet training which has meant she's smashed it at nursery and at home now too! I highly recommend this
amazing childcare provider.

The staff at the nursery are fabulous. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I know my little girl is safe and well looked after when I drop her off until I pick her up. There's a great range of activities every day at the Holiday Club and lots of trips out etc to engage children.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, and provide lots of reassurance to my little one if she is having a bit of a wobble! The app is useful in checking what kind of day she is having whilst I'm at work, and we have had a really positive experience overall.

My son attends the holiday club during school holidays. He is diagnosed with autism and I was really worried about sending him to another setting.
We have been really impressed with the valley nursery and my son absolutely loves attending. Initially he found the transition really difficult and the
staff identified this and put changes in place to make him more comfortable. We are very grateful to have found such a great holiday club.

My child loves going to nursery and she looks forward to seeing her key worker. At the end of the day, she will tell me what she has done. She had a great time doing Happy Toes and can't wait for the next one.

Absolutely amazing nursery, staff are brilliant, both my children have come on in leaps and bounds since starting. They both come home with lots of crafts which they have done and from pictures and updates always look to have fun-filled days, filled with baking, messy play and outdoor play, trips to
the park for ice cream, as well as hatching chicks and growing plants. Staff are always really approachable, friendly, caring and flexible.

I can't recommend this nursery enough! My daughter has been attending The Valley Nursery since she was 7 months old. She is now over 2 years old and I can honestly say she is the brightest, kindest and most loving child ever, and this is down to the amazing work they do at the nursery. They have brought
her on so much. They are fabulous at keeping parents updated about their children, and their progression and give tips for first-time parents like myself. I will 100% have all of my children attend this nursery in the future. Keep up the amazing work!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.884)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.884) out of 10 for The Valley Nursery & Kids Club is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.884 for The Valley Nursery & Kids Club is calculated as follows: ( (451 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 499 Ratings = 4.884

  • 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 The Valley Nursery & Kids Club is based on 42 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 152 number of registered child places is 30.4, which has been reached with 42 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.
