My daughter has been at Singleton Day Nursery since she was ten months old and I have only had a positive experience for both myself and my daughter. The staff have looked after her so well which is a huge comfort as a parent. I love seeing how creative the staff are with all the activities they do
with the children, it’s obvious that a huge amount of time and effort goes into the preparation of said activities. A big positive for me which is a recent addition during 2020 was the introduction of the app. It is brilliant to be able to see in real-time what my daughter has eaten or activities she has done. It’s great that her development is tracked against the early year's curriculum too so that I can easily see the areas I need to work with her more at home. Thank you so much for the support you give me too. It really is appreciated.
Keep doing what you are doing Schoolhouse.

Singleton nursery is a great place, and they have worked so hard to keep our little ones safe in these times. Big credit to all the staff for their hard work; thank you.


A little feedback is to have more information/pictures and names of the staff in each room. It’s fine if the staff move around

from time to time, but it’s nice to be able to talk to our little ones using the names of the adults that have been looking after them. The last piece of feedback is it’s great to see on the app what they have been up to for the day, it must be hard work for the staff to keep updating this, but it means a lot to the parents, and again, it’s lovely to be about to talk to our little one about their day.


Thanks again for a great place for our little one to play, learn and have fun.


Reply from Sian Davies, Manager at Singleton Day Nursery

My daughter loves going to nursery! I was initially nervous about how she'd settle in, but I'm so happy that she enjoys it. Every week she happily goes in and barely gives me a backward glance at the door. It's clear to see what she's learning when she comes home singing songs I've never sung with her
and naming things that she hasn't learnt with us. I'm so glad she's able to interact with other children and adults this year and it seems to be helping her learn and grow and I'm so happy that she's happy here!

My son loves attending Singleton Day Nursery. I feel that the staff are very attentive, supportive and since attending, my little boy's speech has progressed significantly. I would certainly recommend the nursery to any first time parent who may be anxious like I was in leaving my child for the first
time.

During this difficult time, I must congratulate the staff on the way they have continued to give our grandson the care and attention we hoped he would have. Gone is the baby we cared for before lockdown as he has changed into a happy and confident little boy. We love being included with the daily news
and photographs of his days in the nursery, and during the FaceTime chats, he always lets us know what a good time he is having, mentions the different names of staff and the activities he has been doing. So, thank you all for your hard work.

My son is always happy going into nursery and even happier at pick up! He is very much encouraged by staff and making progress in English and Welsh! The nursery has increased flexibility through the pandemic, and that has been so important for us. The use of the new app has really improved communication,
and I love getting little updates of what the children are up to and my little boy's progress through this. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work through this difficult time!

My son has been attending Singleton Day Nursery for nearly three years, and we absolutely love it! He is so happy there and cannot wait to go in every morning. The staff go above and beyond to help and have been incredibly flexible during the pandemic with all the changes due to schools closing etc.
I can't recommend them enough. Thank you to all the staff at Singleton.

My son has come on leaps and bounds since attending; they do a brilliant job at creche, and I would recommend them to anyone. The creche has been an absolute lifesaver during the covid pandemic, as he hadn't seen any children for months at one of the most crucial points of his development. I'm so happy
that we chose Singleton Day Nursery.

We have had an excellent experience with the nursery over the past three years, and our son is very happy there. There are always a lot of fun activities going on, and the new app allows us to keep up to date with what the children do every day, including personalised posts about our son's progress.
The nursery rooms provide a nice environment, and the kids get a lot of outdoor play with lovely views over the park.


One thing we really like about the nursery is the flexibility they offer, as we don't have to book the same days each week. This is essential for parents with non-standard work shifts and doesn't seem to be offered by many other nurseries.

My child comes out OK and seems happy. However, clothes are sometimes lost or my child is wearing someone else's. Not as vigilant as could be with belongings.
Staff not always aware of the child's day. More outdoor activities would be welcomed.

We have been very happy with the nursery and would thoroughly recommend it. The staff are very attentive, caring, and the environment is nurturing. Our youngest is obviously very happy there. The nursery has a wonderful, large outdoor area with lovely views which we feel is a real plus! The food is
also great. Our two older children also went to the nursery, and our experience has always been a very positive one. It is lovely seeing our little one develop into a confident, happy and social little human being!

Singleton Day Nursery is a brilliant nursery.
Our son loves his nursery days. The staff are great with the children, and very approachable if we have any questions. Our son is learning lots every day. Parents are kept up to date via an app, which is great. The chef is fantastic too, our son loves
the food that he has there. I would, and have, highly recommended this nursery to others.

Our son started in Singleton when he was 8-months (Nov 2019) and, while we were nervous to be leaving him, the staff were fantastic at calming our fears, answering our questions and making our little boy feel at home. I was still breastfeeding at the time, and they were very supportive of this journey
(even when he was refusing the bottle)!
Flash forward 15-months, through a global pandemic, an increase of days and my son's transition into the toddler rooms and I can still say the same; my son loves his time there and every step of the way we have been communicated with, given time when we had questions and sent gorgeous photos to help us feel connected with his time there.
Looking forward to our daughter also starting there soon!

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.
