Great support network, location and the biggest seller (to us) was the well equipped garden where children are encouraged to play outside no matter the weather. Will sorely miss the nursery and would not hesitate to place my son back here in future.
Would highly recommend to anyone.

We were attracted to this nursery as it was Ofsted outstanding and a good location.
We were impressed at the initial meeting, how professional the staff were and their knowledge base on child
We found the nursery friendly, clean and a place our son would thrive.
Our son started off two days a week in nursery and we have increased his hours to full time as he is enjoying it and flourishing.
As parents, we are thrilled with his development.
We are particularly impressed with how they teach our son boundaries.
I especially like how they clean the children's teeth and this continues the good habit at home.

Its large garden (in part) drew us to Cedars - children, are out
The children have healthy meals and try a very wide variety of food. Our little one now loves houmous, raw veg, grapefruit and tonic water. Cedars instills teeth cleaning - every meal and good manners!
Staff clearly do their job because they like children, spend time with those who find it difficult to settle. Our little one grew out of it - with their help, ready for school.
Cedars gave her a good learning introduction, for their transition to school.
Cedars does a great job when children are at their most impressionable.
Reply from Susan Cook at The Cedars Nursery - Newcastle
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, your kind words are lovely to hear. As you know staff work very hard to ensure all children are given opportunities to help them learn and develop in their own unique ways. Your little girl was an absolute pleasure to have around and all staff welcomed a cuddle and melted with her smile. You too do a wonderful job and she is certainly a credit to you both.

Staff are so caring and attentive.
Playtimes are fun, food is varied and prepared on site and the outdoor spaces allow for plenty of running around and exploration.

Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 8.0 (7.986) out of 10 for The Cedars Nursery - Newcastle 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.917 for The Cedars Nursery - Newcastle is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.917
-
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 3.069 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cedars Nursery - Newcastle is based on 1 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 = 3
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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.069
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.
