They look after my baby,
He goes there for a day of play,
That's 9-to-5, once a weekday.
When tummies rumble it's dinnertime,
For home cooked lunches that taste devine,
And if weeman does a wee or poo,
They change him with best nappies, made from
And if he's hurt, or sick, or cries,
Daddy's work is just closeby,
In fact it's only a few doors down,
So I'm in there in a flash, not a trek across town.
Yes Childsplay take care of him,
The staff and care are excellent,
They provide a stimulating environment,
That's great for his development,
They're run as a co-op, did you know that meant,
That every pound goes on his boarding,
Not syphoned off by some business-owner's hoarding.
I entrust my bairn's care to Childsplay,
Who best their competitors by a long way,
(And I know, cos I went to all the open days),
So it shouldn't be news,
I give 5 star reviews,
It's clearly, the superior nursery.

My daughter started just before her first birthday and will shortly be moving
The staff make you feel welcome, the outdoor space is second to none and the small touches like themed decorations (seasonal and for specific celebrations) and family photos on the walls make it all feel magical.
We are so sad to have to leave Childsplay behind because we know how much our daughter loves it there but we also feel confident she will adapt well to a new nursery, thanks to the development she has experienced, with huge thanks to the wonderful team at Childsplay.

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback for us, it truly helps us to strive to continue providing the best love, care and interesting opportunities for each child. We will so miss your daughter and you all, it has been a privilege to have you and your daughter join us at Childsplay and we are so pleased you have enjoyed being with us. We wish you all the very best for your new journey ahead and as you say... your daughter has grown in confidence, she is now the top leader in the baby room and with your support, she'll settle into a new nursery well.

Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 5.000 for Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 5
-
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 4.944 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative Ltd is based on 17 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.944
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.
