We can’t recommend this nursery enough.
Our son started at two, and it’s his last day today.
From day one, he has been shown so much love and care from all staff. You can tell how much they all care for the kids.
We’ve been shown so much support in ways we never expected.
Nothing has ever been
a problem or too much to ask for.
The rooms, activities, food and outdoor space have been amazing and faultless.
Nursery is his favourite place, and we are so sad he has to leave.
Thank you for everything.

I highly recommend Forest Hall Day Nursery, my daughter has been attending for just under a year and my son was here previously, around five years ago. All staff are kind, lovley and caring with both children and parents, we receive regular updates on what our children are learning and getting up to.
Great outside area for the children to play, my daughter also seems to enjoy the food.

Amazing nursery! My daughter is striving so much already! The staff are amazing and so accommodating! I couldn't be happier with my current child care provider and never been so happy with the service of care my daughter is receiving. Thank you!

This is a wonderful early year setting. Warm friendly staff. Close-knit setting - both of our girls have gone to this nursey, and the warm family feeling you get every time you send your child into nursery is comforting.
Our girls have made firm friends here and have had strong bonds with their key
workers in each of the 3 classes at the nursey.
The staff make the most of each area of the space indoors and outdoors. Plenty of holistic play, and I would recommend this setting time and time again.

This is a wonderful nursery. I took my little boy here a year ago when he was only 10-months-old, and felt nervous because he was so little, but the staff were all absolutely amazing. They are so warm, reassuring and loving with the children and my little boy never looked back through the door at me
leaving. The manager and her team have been brilliant; they were very understanding of my changing work situation and have been super throughout the whole covid situation. I have nothing but praise for them.

We have used the nursery for 2 of our children so far, 1 who is still there. They have both loved it, and our third child will start in May. We wouldn't dream of sending her anywhere else.
We will also use them for school club from May, and love that we can provide this continuity of care for our children.
The
nursery is like a home from home environment for the children. The staff are well trained, friendly and very approachable. They treat the children like their own and provide a broad range of activities all year round.

My daughter loves coming to nursery here. The setting is lovely, surrounded by trees and lots of outdoor space to play in. The rooms are really well equipped, and the staff have always been fantastic, but the way they've adapted to the new challenges the last 10-months have brought has been outstanding.
The new safety measures put in place for social distancing are very effective, but the fun and activities have continued regardless. I am given daily updates on my daughter's activities, as well as online updates on specific activities with photos and learning information.

A brilliant nursery that my daughter has attended since she was 9 months old.
The staff are amazing and treat the children like their own, nothing is a trouble. Activities and visits are carefully planned and children centred.
My daughter has thrived here and we will be sad to say goodbye when she
leaves for school.
Highly recommended. The manager and the team are all amazing!

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.228)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.228) out of 10 for Forest Hall Private Day Nursery 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 Forest Hall Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 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 3.228 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Forest Hall Private Day Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.103

  • 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.
