All of three my children went to this nursery from the age of 3 years old. The nursery is amazing, the staff are wonderful with the children and great support to parents. My children all thrived there, and we were all very sad when my youngest recently had his last day. It really is a fantastic place
for children to spend their early years.

Great nursery our son loves it and loves the team they are all so warm and welcoming. He joined as a 1-year-old during Covid and has developed so much in six months. It's remarkable and mainly down to nursery we love how much emphasis they place on home life and family and sharing this with nursery
too! Thanks so much!

I couldn't of put my child in a better nursery the staff are wonderful they are very happy, friendly, welcoming, approachable, I'm more than happy with the standard of care my child receives. It's an impressive environment I feel like I'm taking my child from my home into another home that is how homely
I feel it is he really enjoys his time there staff always inform me how his day has been what he has done, ate, etc. he's always happy going in and leaving. I'll be upset to see my child leave the staff are a credit to yourselves and the nursery. His speech and knowledge has come on tremendously.

My daughter was welcomed from the first day that she joined the nursery. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining, her talking has come on marvellous and she's becoming so well manned. Every staff at the nursery is kind, person-centred and you can see that all of the staff genuinely love
and care about the children they look after. The staff at the nursery have been so understanding during the pandemic when my shifts had been swapped/changed and I was ringing up changing dates/times. I could not wish for a better nursery or staff to look after my daughter. Amazing beautiful people! Thank you!

Reply from Christine Prendergast, Nurseries Manager at Billingham Childrens Day Nursery

Thank you, Melissa, for a lovely review, it is very much appreciated. It is great that you feel that your daughter is progressing well and becoming so well mannered. The staff will be over the moon with your comments about them, I think they are amazing people too.

My 2 children joined this nursery last year as theirs closed due to financial difficulties during coronavirus. The staff have been amazing at welcoming them and settling them in. They are caring and supportive, even more flexible with dates and accomodating for my children so I can work. Also, they
have accommodated well to my daughter's needs as she has a milk protein allergy yet she still has the same as other children but with adapted recipes with her milk. I have been overjoyed to see my children happy and well and can go to work carefree knowing they are safe and looked after.

My great-grandson has attended Billingham Day Nursery since he was 11 months old. He is now 3. It is a lovely friendly place, all members of staff are dedicated and professional but still retain the open loving touch to the children. I could not wish for him to be in a better place during his pre-school
years.

My daughter has attended this nursery for around a year and a half. She loves attending, and we feel confident she is very well cared for and nurtured. They do a wide range of activities and do very thoughtful things on occasions/events such as Christmas and Mother's day. We are also very happy about
the Covid secure plans. Thank you to all staff for being so caring.

Fantastic nursery. The staff have been amazing with my little boy. They picked up on his speech problems and put him in touch with the correct team. They even explored helping him within nursery. I have had two children in this nursery and I would highly recommend to anybody.

I have been using Billingham Day Nursery for 8 years now as both of my boys attend(ed). I can't praise staff enough and both children have really enjoyed their time there. They have progressed in so many areas since being here and have valuable skills to carry through life.

The staff at this nursey make the place an absolutely amazing place for children to learn and develop. They are organised, pay attention to detail and understand the individual needs of each child. Both my children happy wave goodbye to me when I drop them off and trying to get them out at pick-up can
take up to 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Billingham Childrens Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.954 for Billingham Childrens Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.954

  • 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 Billingham Childrens Day Nursery is based on 18 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 18 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.

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 1996

Hello, I'm Pam.
I have an NNEB diploma in Early years childhood studies and have worked in childcare for 25 years at Billingham day nursery. I started out as an early year's educator, working my way up to deputy manager and I am now a proud manager at Billingham 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 both new families and familiar faces, welcoming them into our setting and ensuring they feel comfortable.
My team here at Billingham will always 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.
I look forward to welcoming both you and your child into our nursery.
