TAD Centre Day Nursery offers a great after-school and holiday club which my son attends. All of the staff are lovely and he has a great relationship with them all.
My son enjoys the activities which TAD offers and has lots of fun when he attends.

When my child was transferred to this nursery, he fully changed. His speech came along so much more, he was so much happier. He was obsessed with the staff and excited to come.

Satisfactory, but felt TAD Centre was not as flexible as others. Cannot fault any staff. In general a nice environment with nice facilities.
More training maybe required for some members of staff around autism. Was told my son couldn't eat his crackers which is all he will have at nursery due to
autism.

The staff at the TAD Centre are friendly and welcoming. They take the time to get to know the children and this means any questions you have about your child's day or general well-being at the nursery are answered quickly without hesitation. This is in addition to a daily diary being provided. The TAD
Centre environment is always clean and you regularly see staff with cleaning products in hand. The baby room where my daughter is has lots of natural light and never feels overcrowded.
This is a fantastic nursery, I highly recommend!

My daughter has been going to TAD Centre Day Nursery since she was 8 months old. Having to go back to work and leave your baby at nursery was really hard and stressful, but from day one I was greeted with staff who always reassured me and gave me confidence. Now nearly a year on the nursery became part
of the family. Every time I drop my daughter off she waves me goodbye and doesn’t even look back. She came on leaps and bounds and always comes back full of smiles so I know she has had a good day. I can’t thank all the staff that look after her enough, I would be definitely recommending TAD to anyone because we only ever had a positive experience and know that attending nursery from such a young age will give our daughter the social skills and play a big part in her development going forward.

Reply from Steph Mawson, Manager at TAD Centre Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for the nursery. It is great to know that you feel confident to leave your daughter at nursery and that you have had a very positive experience, I will pass your comments on to the staff.

My daughter joined TAD Nursery almost one year ago and has absolutely loved her time here. She has grown in confidence and her development has come on so much. When first starting my daughter spoke very few words and now is speaking in sentences and has become a right chatterbox! She has really come
out of her shell! The staff are very attentive to her needs and spend plenty of time with her encouraging her in her development. I get regular updates on what she's been up to through the nursery story app which is nice to see while I'm at work, knowing she is having lots of fun. Thank you!

Ever since my little boy started here at the end of October/beginning of November he's loved it, he's always coming home telling me what he's done and I think since starting nursery his speech and his independence to do things on his own have really come on. He's becoming a very clever little boy, the
staff are lovely and always treat me with respect and inform me when he's had a reaction or when he's hurt himself. Overall I think they're doing a great job.

My son recently started at the TAD centre nursery in September. He is a very clingy child, so I was a bit nervous about him starting but all the staff have been brilliant and now, after a couple of months of him going there, he just skips in. It's so reassuring that he likes to go there and it's all
down to the staff making him feel at home. I'm so glad I choose for him to go there.

Reply from Sally Edwards, Manager at TAD Centre Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review, Racheal; it is very much appreciated. I am happy that you are so pleased with the service and that your child has made so much progress since attending the nursery. I am sure that the staff will be over the moon with your comments.

I currently have my daughter at the TAD Centre and in the few weeks she's been there we already have seen progress in her development. We are very happy that our daughter is learning new things every day and socialise with other children and adults apart from just mum and dad at home. She's making progress
in different areas and we are happy that she's having fun and enjoying her time playing at the nursery centre. The communication with the centre is excellent, the staff are kind and pay attention to our concerns about our daughter's development, and help with tips and ideas on how to find the best way to get to the next step on her. We truly appreciate this help a lot. We really recommend TAD Centre to any parent looking for a high standard nursery centre.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for TAD Centre 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 67 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 66 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 4.870 for TAD Centre Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (705 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 801 Ratings = 4.87

  • 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 TAD Centre Day Nursery is based on 66 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2, which has been reached with 66 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.

Hello, I'm Sally.
I have worked in childcare for 17 years here at Tad centre Children's Day Nursery. I take pride in having very good organisational skills and use them when managing the nursery, staff, and children. I love to meet new families, welcoming them into our setting and ensuring they feel comfortable. This is achieved by having a good work ethic and working attentively with the team to ensure all rooms provide fun, stimulating, and safe environments. I believe having a strong team helps children achieve their individual learning goals by working together and working alongside parents and families collectively.
