This nursery is great. There is a very wide range of activities for the children to get involved in and it brings them on a lot compared to being at home. My child's speech has come on a lot since she started in February. The staff are wonderful and are always cheerful especially the manager. My child
sticks to certain members of staff but that is just because she is unsure of new people. She has gotten better around men since being at nursery.

I have been really happy with the care, education and support my daughter has received whilst at TAD. The staff maintain good communication with me and are always willing to try and accommodate my childcare needs and last minute changes which is very helpful to me due to my work commitments.
My daughter
loves her time at TAD and had a great relationship with staff, she is a very independent child with some unique qualities which I feel the staff support and embrace.
When she first started TAD, she had a few difficulties with separation anxiety which was very hard for us both but the staff were incredibly supportive and now she runs in she likes it so much.

Both of my sons have used this nursery since April 2018 and have enjoyed the safe, fun and calming environment that this nursery brings. Staff are always polite friendly and professional and both my sons have thrived since starting the nursery. My eldest son no longer goes here but he is always acknowledge
and greeted whenever he comes to collect his little brother and he feels comfortable in there still.

Excellent staff. Brought my son on loads. When he first started in 2018 he found it hard to settle and would get upset, he now loves going and enjoys it and is always interacting with staff which I like and staff are very friendly and I feel my son's well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) 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 66 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 65 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 4.868 for TAD Centre Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (693 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 789 Ratings = 4.868

  • 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 65 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 65 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.
