A really friendly warm welcome and good-bye everyday from all of the staff at all times. The manager and the staff are professional and caring and always make sure to put both parents and children at ease. The manager is very accommodating/flexible with parents/childrens times, appts etc. and the phone
is always answered quickly. Management are very approachable and very helpful!

This is an amazing nursery. I have a little boy who I didn't want to start nursery for certain reasons. But in the end, I let him go and I chose this nursery, at first I was so nervous due to my little boy couldn't tell me how his day went but the staff and managers at this nursery put my mind at ease.
They told me about him every day and how he was getting on and now I leave him at nursery with a clear mind because I know he's well looked after by all staff. I couldn't fault this nursery at all definitely top 10 nursery and definitely would recommend this nursery.

Little one (1yr) started in January, lots of tears however the staff kept me updated and by week 2 he was smiling going in! He loves going to nursery and his social skills have increased massively! I love seeing his little updates on the app also! I can go to work now without worry and know he is having
an amazing time! Thanks to all the staff at Acklam Day Nursery.

A fantastic nursery with caring and nurturing staff. The setting is clean and offers a variety of healthy, nutritious food. My little one has been attending the setting for almost a year and is continuing to develop in all areas. They helped make my transition back to work easy and supported me in continuing
to breastfeed my little one. The care they provide is more than I could ask for. I recommend this setting to anyone for childcare needs.

My little girl started Acklam Children's Day Nursery when she was around 2 years old. She absolutely loved the nursery from the first day she started. My daughter has autism and before her diagnosis, there were early signs of this, the nursery always did all they could to fulfil her needs. The care
they provide is the best she could have ever received. She now attends a sen provision and in the holidays she spends 1-2 days per week with Acklam Children's Day Nursery and gets so excited to see staff and children. I could not recommend this nursery enough! Amazing is the only word I can describe it!

Reply from Leigh-Ann Scott, Manager at Acklam Children's Day Nursery

We all look forward to the school holidays to see how well she is doing.

A lovely nursery, after my daughter's old school, was unable to take my daughter this year Acklam Day Nursery was. Since joining the school my daughter has been speaking much better, using please and thank you and even counting to 15, at 3 is very good. Just wished I had sent her here from the moment
I returned to work. Looking forward to seeing her develop further with their help.

Our daughter attends the baby room. She loves going and is always happy to see the staff there. She enjoys the food at the nursery and is well-fed. Although it would be nice to see more of what they get up to on the app. Management is always flexible with nursery days due to work commitments, which
is a great help. The nursery itself is one of the best we’ve seen, which is one of the reasons why we chose Acklam. The minute we stepped inside everyone was so nice and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Acklam Children's Day Nursery 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.872 for Acklam Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (376 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 430 Ratings = 4.872

  • 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 Acklam Children's Day Nursery is based on 36 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 36 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.
