My daughter has attended nursery since she was 11 months old. She is settled and very happy. She has a great relationship with staff, in particular, the manager. All staff know her well, are kind and is loving and meet her needs to a high standard.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone! My daughter's
development has come along in leaps and bounds since attending and I have no concerns at all. She is ell cared for in a nutshell.

I would highly recommend this nursery. All three of my children have attended from being babies to leaving to attend school, with one still at the nursery. They have all loved their time at the nursery. They have lots of fun activities for children, such as signing tots. I feel confident leaving my
children in their care, seeing the relationship they build with the girls looking after them. They give regular updates via nursery app, which is lovely to see/hear how well they are doing. The manager is fab, allowing me to have flexibility with nursery days due to being a shift worker. Always clean and healthy homemade meals. Five star nursery.

All members of the nursery play an active role in my daughter's time there. They are caring and understanding and have been extremely helpful and supportive when needed. My daughter loves attending this nursery and we will be extremely sad when she leaves in July. I know the staff really care for her
and that shows every day she attends.

My son has attended this nursery since June and his development has came on so much since. All the staff are so friendly and brilliant at what they do. I get updates on what he has been up to at nursery through the parent's app which is great. All his needs are catered for and he loves attending the
nursery. The nursery is a lovely setting.

My daughter has been at the nursery since the age of 1 and is now 4. She has blossomed while being there and has so much confidence. She's learning the skills she needs to prepare her for school in September and she loves the staff. She has bonded really well with many of the staff and the children
and really enjoys her time there. The only thing I would like to see more of, especially now with her being so close to starting school, is more in-depth updates about her progress, possibly a meeting or a parents evening every term or so just so we can have a proper discussion about her progress and what she's been learning. That being said, she does seem to be learning a lot from nursery which is great, it's just not always possible to have a long chat with the girls when I collect her to find out exactly what she's been doing.

Hi Stacey, thank you for your lovely review. I have spoken to the manager about your comments and she said she will have a chat with you when she sees you next.

Our little boy loves attending this nursery. The manager and the staff are fantastic with him and we can see how much he is improving and developing each week.
The nursery offers some fantastic activities such as football sessions and sign language and this has really helped our little boys confidence.
He loves to tell us all about his day and what he has learnt.
The staff offer a safe and happy environment for all the children they look after and we cannot praise them enough.

Fantastic activities for children of all ages, my son is absolutely beaming every morning coming into the nursery. The staff are very attentive and kind. He is a handful but they take it on the chin!


He does plenty of learning activities and his growth has absolutely been excelled from the input

of the staff of the nursery and his time there.


They pay special attention to his foods and medicines due to his allergy, which gives us complete peace of mind, extremely professional, caring and lovely staff.

The team that works at the nursery is amazing. My son has been attending the nursery for nearly two years, since the age of 9 months old.
His progression during this time with the support and guidance of the nursery team has been fantastic plus he loves going to nursery each day.
I have just made
the decision for my son to stay with the nursery until he starts full-time school as I would like him to benefit from this environment for as long as possible.

Both my daughters attend this nursery and I could not be happier. I feel so confident leaving my children here and they absolutely love going to nursery. They are made to feel like individuals and are able to express themselves. They are both are now very confident and their learning and development
are coming on so well. They receive a homely healthy meal every day. The nursery is a very clean and safe environment and each and every staff member are outstanding at what they do. If you are looking for a nursery for your child then this is definitely the place to go.

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.
