Acklam Day Nursery is one of the best nurseries in the area, if not the best. The staff are just so caring, supportive and enthusiastic about my child's needs. They have always gone above and beyond for my children. My little girl attended here before my little boy. My little girl blossomed here, and
my little boy runs into the nursery with such happiness. Their educational, emotional, and nutritional needs are always met to such a high standard as well as having lots of fun. Honestly, I cant recommend this nursery enough. It's definitely a 5-star place.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it's always nice to read how happy the children are coming into nursery.

I send both of my children to this nursery (4 and 2 years old) and feel that it has really helped them develop mentally and in confidence. The staff are always helpful and answer whatever questions I have in relation to the kids and general questions about term dates and entitlement to free hours. I
couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

We're fortunate enough to get our son enrolled at Acklam Children's Day Nursery. He has separation anxiety but he has settled well in three days and he's extremely enthusiastic. The management and staff are excellent in their service and attitude. They contribute very well to enhance the wholistic development
of our kid. Being working parents, they support us with every aspect of child care. The premises are maintained very well with proper hygiene as well as safety is assured! Thank you, team Acklam!

Such a wonderful review, we take pride in our work and as a team we love to read positive feedback. Thank you so much.

Our son absolutely adores the nursery. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and have been incredibly supportive with potty training, his language development, as well as personally to us. Our son is a confident, chatty young man because of the nurture and encouragement everyone at Acklam Nursery
gives him and we are so thankful to the staff who work here for all the love they show him!

My children have been coming to Acklam Day Nursery for 6 years now, seeing both of my children through from baby room to pre-school and now collecting my eldest from school once a week.
The staff really do feel like extended family, and they definitely treat my children as such.
The food is “better
than yours Mummy” and the atmosphere is perfect for growing little minds. Pre-school is setting my youngest up for school as she learns how to recognise and trace numbers and letters alongside learning social skills. She has created great bonds with other children and staff meaning she looks forward to attending every day.
Outdoor play is encouraged when the weather allows and the outdoor space in the summer for the older children is magical!
It will be a sad day when we finally move on from the nursery, but we will continue to use the facility for after-school and holiday care.
A truly top-of-the-class nursery. The staff should be very proud of the little world they have created.

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

Such kind words, we have enjoyed watching both the girls grow and develop into the little characters they are today, Thank you so much for your beautiful review.

My little boy attended the nursery and loved it, he started doing a few sessions to get him ready for school to mix with other children and get him used to being away from me. The staff were absolutely amazing and helped him grow in confidence and he became a little more independent. He loved all the
staff and they became like family to us. It helped him so much to prepare him for starting school I can not thank the staff enough.

Could not rate this nursery high enough. My son looks forward to going each day and most of the time I can't get him to leave when I collect him, which as a parent makes me feel happy knowing he is happy. The staff are friendly and approachable.
I would recommend it to anyone.

My daughter attends Acklam Day Nursery and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff are absolutely amazing. Every morning we are greeted with a smile! She enjoys going to the nursery and participating in all the wonderful activities the staff put on for the children. When I pick her up she tells me how
delicious the food is that she’s had for lunch, they always ensure the children have a healthy lunchtime meal! She enjoys playing outside as they have a wide range of play equipment and even have a mini forest for the kids to explore. I will be really sad when my daughter has to leave Acklam Nursery to go to reception. She has a fantastic relationship with all the staff here.

Hand on heart could not recommend this nursery more. Nursery is the place that shapes a baby/toddler so as a parent you want the best for them. Acklam Nursery put their heart and soul into the children and it shows! My child has been going here since she was 8 months old and she has thrived! This is
my child's last year before school and I have already shed a tear at the thought of her leaving, they are like a family to her!

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

She is such a big character, thank you so much for your lovely words, the team will be thrilled.

The staff are fantastic, they know the children well and know their families. This is the second child we have gone through Acklam Day Nursery, with our first going from 8 months old to going to school. Our second child is currently in the baby room and although they only attend once or twice a week
the staff know them inside out, they are always happy to go in and have done lots on pick-up! The management is supportive and has gone above and beyond often to help
us as a family.

Our little one loves coming to Acklam Day Nursery. He runs in with a smile on his face and he's always happy to see the staff who are always so warm and welcoming. He loves all aspects of nursery life and has so much fun here. He particularly likes the sing and sign sessions and the outdoor play. His
favourite part of the day is coming out of nursery with a yummy snack.

The staff have been amazing with helping settle my child within the setting and acknowledged his individual needs whilst on a tour of the nursery before he started. This nursery has been the only one that he's settled into. All staff are super supportive! This is the one nursery I will and have recommended

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.
