Today is my son's last day and we'll miss the place. It's been over a year and was such a welcoming place from the beginning. All the teachers are encouraging and nurturing with any discipline done thoughtfully and tactfully.
My son's unique quirks were noticed and celebrated, a hard thing to do when
you have a room full of children to manage. They really seem to all enjoy working with the kids and forming friendships.

Reply from Rachel Burley, Operations Director at Singleton Day Nursery

Thank you for your review. It has been an absolute pleasure having your son with us over the past year. We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and supported from the very beginning. Our team takes great pride in creating a nurturing and encouraging environment and it's wonderful to know that our efforts have made a positive impact. Best Wishes for the new adventures that await you as a family and thank you once again for being a part of Singleton Day Nursery.

The nursery is brilliant. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. The photos and daily updates are great. The variety of food and play is great for learning and we've seen a difference at home - in particular in using cutlery. We would recommend the nursery.

Have been very happy with Singleton Nursery so far. Staff are always pleasant and our child seems happy in their company and now looks forward to going in. Our child's key worker in particular has been superb. Get regular updates on the app which is also great.

Our daughter who's 2.5 years old has come here since she was 5 months old. The nursery and staff have always been amazing! They do so much for the kids and their development at each stage and help the kids and us parents have a smooth transition into the next stage.
There's always contact there,
and they're quick if you need to get hold of them about anything. If there are any concerns (which is rare), they're quick to handle them and inform you. They keep you updated about your child's day, activities and development with pictures and development maps via the app.
The facility is clean and tidy with a wide variety of toys, games and books. When comparing prices when we first arrived, it's priced slightly higher than others but for the value of the money, you and your child get so much from it. Nursery provides a variety of nutritional meals and they have themed meals to celebrate holidays/culture. They have a lovely space outdoors with a mix of activities and toys and when dry they venture into the local park.

The staff are so friendly. Go out of their way to do things for my daughter and I love how well they know every child even ones that aren't in their class. There is a wide range of activities available and the food is delicious! The only thing that needs to be looked at is the buzzer system to drop
off and pick up. The wait for an answer sometimes is very long.

They take time to get to know them and foster a brilliant learning environment. The app is used well to inform myself and my husband of what achievements our daughter
has made and to update us with events and information.

My son has been attending since 2021 and has progressed through each stage/room. He loves going to nursery and learns so much. He brings learning and positive routines home, plus shares his experiences with the caring staff. He also loves the food and eats so well whilst at nursery which stands him
in good stead with his nutrition skills for life. Thank you.

I have two children who have attended the nursery since they were 11 months and 3 years old. We chose the nursery before moving here after a short visit and we're so glad we did; both have thrived since joining and received excellent and sympathetic care on this big transition.
Our elder still attends
in school holidays and our younger has thrived as he's gone through Under 2s, Toddlers, and now Pre-school. We've been especially impressed with the amount of outside space and time spent playing there and the high quality of equipment and learning experiences they've both had. The staff are brilliant; give them a raise!

I love the nursery, it is a safe place for my child to go when I have work/university commitments. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and very informative. I feel like we have built a good rapport with each other which definitely benefits my child's learning. The food is excellent she eats everything
they offer. My child always comes home with an empty nappy and will be changed into spare clothes if hers are messy. She really enjoys going to nursery now which is great.

We have had a really positive experience at Singleton Day Nursery. Our 14-month-old really enjoys it there. There are lots of different activities, the staff are very caring and friendly and great communication. I love that they sing regularly together as my daughter loves music and in Welsh sometimes.
The meals are varied and healthy and they promote independence by giving her her own spoon. Thank you all, we really appreciate it.

Wonderful nursery! The staff are amazing and have helped our daughter settle in so easily. They have been brilliant, educational activities set up for the children to take part in daily. Meals are varied and balanced and it's clear that our daughter's wellbeing is a priority. Will recommend Singleton

Under 2s have been amazing with our daughter. She settled brilliantly with them. They clearly know her very well, you can tell she is happy to go into nursery with all of the members of staff. I've been really happy with her development, she eats well, sleeps well there, generally seems happy in there
when pick her up. They make an effort with updates, put on events, ask parents to join for parents evenings- which was a really lovely evening!
Thank you for all your efforts.

Extremely happy with the nursery and staff. My little girl (3.5 years of age- preschool) loves going and has always talked about what they've done and the staff, so no complaints! Queries on the whole have been resolved and quickly. The odd occasion has needed to be chased due to using the app rather
than calling. Have not always agreed with some terms of meal choices. I have felt can be Veggie/Vegan heavy to cater for those diets.

Reply from Victoria Richards, Manager at Singleton Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your little girl enjoys her time at our nursery and that our staff have made a positive impact on her experience. It's wonderful to know that she loves sharing her daily activities with you. We appreciate your patience with the app and will continue to work on improving our communication channels to ensure all queries are resolved promptly. Your feedback on the meal choices is also valuable to us. We strive to cater to all dietary preferences and will take your comments into consideration to provide a more balanced menu in the future, however, parents are invited to share recipe ideas. Thank you again for your support and understanding.

This nursery has been useful in facilitating my transition back to work and gently easing my baby into the nursery experience. My baby wasn't so sure about nursery at the start but with time she now thoroughly enjoys attending. She loves bringing cuddly toys to show her friends and favourite members
of staff. I like the way I can see what my baby is up to with an app e.g. food eaten, photos of activities and even bowel motions. The only aspect we struggled with is frequent minor illnesses but this is an inevitable part of nursery and seems to be slowly improving with time. Overall I would recommend this nursery, particularly to parents who work long hours.

My son has been attending Singleton Day Nursery for over 5 months now and he is so happy there. All of the staff have a great rapport with the children. They are really nurturing and supportive. I have always found the key workers to be very communicative. I have been given great feedback regarding
eating habits, playtime and what he finds interesting. The regular observations are not only very informative but also reassuring.
The general communications from the admin team at Singleton Day Nursery are also exemplary.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery. I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

Great setting. The girls are all lovely! My son's smile on collection is enough. We love all the activities and the structure of the nursery. Diet and sleep were a big factor for us. Food can be adapted. Sleep there was no set structure at first, which allowed us to let the team know when we wanted
our son put down this worked perfectly. The manager is really helpful and goes over and above to make sure you are happy and will do what she can to accommodate and help you with any queries that she can within her remit, likewise with the rest of the staff. I would recommend this setting.

I am very happy with my child attending this nursery. She is happy to jump into the arms of whoever comes to the door, so I know she feels safe and secure there. Seeing her day on the app is great, so I know what she’s eaten and when she’s slept. They do lots of playing outside, and she is learning
things like new actions to songs. I would like to be able to go inside to see them playing at drop-off or pick-up though. It is a shame it is all behind closed doors, and it would be reassuring to see her playing with her friends briefly or see some of the toys or activities that they do. I imagine waiting at the front door started during Covid, but we are years down the line now, and it would be nice to be welcomed in and taken to see your child playing at pick up.
I’ve marked five stars for lots of things in this review, but actually, I have no idea how clean it is or what resources or activities and toys there are.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.803)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.803) out of 10 for Singleton Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.803 for Singleton Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (323 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.803

  • 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 Singleton Day Nursery is based on 31 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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6, which has been reached with 31 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.
