I have been so pleased with the service this nursery has provided; all the staff are very professional and friendly! My children have made so much progress since attending this setting in the last year. This is the best nursery in the area by far. I would highly recommend. Thanks for all your lovely
care ladies.

Our child absolutely loves going to the nursery. It has been vital for her to be able to socialise with other children as she is a single child during the lockdown. We had concerns about her speech, but after a few weeks, this had improved massively. The staff are all really friendly and full of smiles
and clearly enjoy what they do! We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Reply from Christine Prendergast, Nurseries Manager at TAD Centre Day Nursery

Thank you for the great review, Sam; it is very much appreciated. It is lovely to hear that your little girl absolutely loves coming to the nursery, that her speech has improved since she started attending and that the staff are really friendly and full of smiles.

My two boys love attending this nursery! From the very beginning, our experience here has been fantastic! The staff are so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make both us as parents and the boys feel welcome! You can just tell they really care for the children and I believe they really
help bring out the best in them! The communication between us and the nursery is brilliant even in the current circumstances! There is so much available to the children and my boys in particular seem to love the music room. I would 100% recommend this nursery. Such a fun, caring and creative nursery for children!

Cannot recommend TAD enough. I and my child have been through a very challenging year with the lockdowns and other personal reasons. The staff at TAD have been amazing, very supportive and understanding. Even through Covid, they are just amazing and help massively to reduce my anxiety surrounding having
my child in the nursery.

Reply from Christine Prendergast, Nurseries Manager at TAD Centre Day Nursery

Thank you for the lovely review, Catriona, it is very much appreciated. I think the staff have been amazing too and am pleased they have helped reduce your anxieties around bringing your child into the nursery.

My daughter has come out of her shell a lot since starting nursery. The staff are great with her and really helpful for me. I feel she is learning a lot at nursery as she comes home and shows me something new she has learnt almost every week.

My oldest daughter came here and having my second in January 2020, there was no doubt in my mind she would attend TAD also when the time came I had to return to work. The girls (staff) are lovely and both my daughters loved their time here. I would recommend to anyone looking for childcare to consider
the TAD Centre as their choice of provider. Couldn't praise or thank them enough. Thanks for everything. Top team.

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.
