I could never ask for anything more than what my little baby boy receives daily from the staff at Nursery Time Willington.
My 4 year old left last year to start school and it was a no brainer that when I was to return to work from maternity leave with my youngest he would be going here like his brother.
Every
day he is greeted with a smile by the girls in teddies room and instantly smiles back leaning in for a cuddle. It is the most precious thing in the world to know your baby is loved and cared for and all of the staff provide that level of care and affection. You have all helped me in raising my children and I'm so thankful for that. Such amazing and unique people that combine the perfect team.
Thanks for everything.

Nurserytime is absolutely great with my little boy. He has been attending Nurserytime since October. The love and care they give nothing is too much trouble, always so helpful and friendly. The way he smiles at them when we drop him off goes to show he gets on lovely with the staff.

The manager and the girls at nursery time are fantastic nothing is ever too much trouble. My son has gone here since he was a baby and is now going up to Bears. He loves going to nursery and the fact he enjoys it so much makes it easier to go to work knowing he is happy and settled and not upset and
crying. His speech is amazing for his age and his knowledge and creativity are down to the nursery and the enrichment they do.

Fantastic service with staff who genuinely care. They always have time to speak with you and I have had no concerns at all in relation to the care and support that my toddler receives. Staff listen and are attentive. My toddler enjoys going and since day one has never had a meltdown when I go to leave,
this shows that they have built up a trusting relationship with my toddler and he recognises who they are. The activities, food and learning provided is excellent and I am very happy with the service provided.

My son is happy and excited to go to nursery every day which makes me happy knowing he is thoroughly enjoying his time there. I always get a rundown of his daily activities and again he always comes out happy. The only thing I could suggest (for my own personal reasons) would be more regular photos
of his activities as he not the best at communicating yet and when I do get a photo on the app I love being able to talk about what he has been doing, but I do appreciate that this is time-consuming and takes away from actual care. Thank you for caring for my son!

Our daughter loves coming to nursery. A daunting experience for us at first (she was under 2 at the time), but we have felt at ease with all of staff from the beginning.
Being kept up to date with how she has eaten and slept throughout the day on the app is helpful; also seeing the activities that
she has been up to throughout the day is good to see too.
The nursery have also been flexible if we have had to change days to suit our work and childcare patterns.

Our little boy has attended Nurserytime, Willington for 7 months and I have nothing but praise for every member of staff there.
Every decision they make has children at the forefront and their communication is outstanding.
I would have no doubt in recommending this nursery to anyone for their child.

The girls are amazing at Nurserytime Willington. They care so wholeheartedly for my son and he loves the girls. They always go out of their way to tell me all about his day and what he's been up to and they all know him inside out. It's like having an extended family, they make him feel so welcome.
Food is okay however I wish there was a larger variety of meals as its very much the same and the options for tea could be better. Overall my child loves coming to nursery and engaging in all the lovely activities that the staff plan.

The staff in the Teddies room have been amazing at helping my little boy (and me) adjust to a new chapter. They are very supportive, attentive and in a short space of time, have made my little boy feel comfortable and happy which is all I can ask for.

My son has been attending Nurserytime since 2021 until starting school this September. The nursery has always been very accommodating and helpful, particularly with his dietary needs. A particular member of staff and the team do a fantastic job and my son was so sad to leave as he loved all of the girls
there.
The nursery itself is always very clean and well-presented, and all of the staff are very caring and supportive. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place for their child.

My son has been attending Nursery time since he was 10 months old. He has absolutely thrived and flourished. He loves the girls and has throughout his time there. The nursery had always been so accommodating and will work with families well. Now Reuben is about to start a new chapter at school. However
his time at Nursery time has been one that has been a very important chapter in his life and has gave him the skills, confidence and character to begin this new chapter. Manager has been with him from his first day and has progressed herself since into the role of manager and honestly there is no better person for the job. She is fantastic, friendly and very approachable. The girls are all fantastic and his love for them shows this. Thank you to all of you at Nurserytime for helping my son's journey start and hopefully continue in the best way! I know for one he will miss you all. Thank you!

I first put my twin boys into Nurserytime 2 years ago. I was very anxious to be leaving them in a nursery setting. However, when I went to meet the girls they really put me at ease. They reassured me that I would take the lead on their routine such as food, naps, potty training etc. I also received
updates on the apps of everything they had been up to and if they had eaten well that day. As the boys have been in the nursery they have gone from strength to strength. Their speech has come on amazingly, they have lots of friends and have become confident, loving little boys. They run into the nursery on a morning and love seeing all the girls from their room workers to the cook and the cleaner. All the staff really care about them and go above and beyond on the good days and the bad days. I feel very blessed that the boys could go to such a wonderful nursery and have such wonderful experiences. We are really going to miss the brilliant team when school starts in September!

My daughter has been going to nursery time for almost a month now and we’ve had nothing but a positive experience so far. The staff are fantastic and the nursery is very clean and tidy. Updates on the app are very helpful and informative and help settle any worries you may have about your child’s development.
My daughter has already made a lot of progress in areas I was worried about and it’s been less than a month.

My little girl had previously only been cared for by family members before starting Nurserytime. The staff at Nurserytime were really good at arranging settling-in sessions and helped to build these up over time to ensure both me and my little one were comfortable. Now she runs in with a smile on her
face and always seems to have had a lovely time and enjoyed the fun activities they do.

I cannot rate this nursery enough! All of the staff are incredible at what they do. My son loves going and has great relationships with all the staff. They are super friendly and are constantly keeping us up to date with what’s going on. My little boy always comes out with a smile on his face, I couldn’t
recommend the place more!

My children have been going here since January 2021 and both of them have had fantastic experiences. The staff have been brilliant with both of them. My son is autistic and they worked with me brilliantly to help settle him in and worked with him to find out what worked best for his routines. My daughter
loves going to Nurserytime, she can name all the staff, which goes to show how involved they all are with each of the children. Nothing is a problem for them. I'd like for more to be put on the app but other than that they're brilliant.

I was really nervous about going back to work after maternity leave. I checked out lots of nurseries and childminders whilst I was pregnant to get a feel of what kind of setting I wanted my little girl to be in. As soon as I set foot in Nurserytime Willington I knew that's where I wanted her to go to.
We had another visit once my little girl was here and a bit older, again, it just confirmed I'd made the correct choice in her childcare. She's been attending Nurserytime now since April and she has come on so much! She enjoys her days there, absolutely loves all the girls. I love the app, where I can check what kind of day she's having, see pictures and read her 'moments and observations'. I go to work happy now, knowing my little girl is in the best care, of staff who genuinely care about her, knowing they'd give her a little cuddle if she wasn't quite feeling herself. To the manager and the rest of the team, keep being amazing, we love yous!

I can not praise this nursery enough. After starting back at work after COVID, I was so nervous about who to trust looking after my son. The manager, senior manager and the rest of the team have made me feel so much at ease. My little one loves it. He's come on so much and loves all the girls.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Nurserytime Willington 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.857 for Nurserytime Willington is calculated as follows: ( (262 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 Nurserytime Willington is based on 25 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
