Great nursery with fantastic staff. Both my children love it. Great balance of learning and play. They ensure the children have a variety of activities to help with development and this was clear when my eldest son left recently to start school and is thriving.

Both my children have attended this nursery and seem to really enjoy their time there. The staff appear to be committed to ensuring that the kids get the best experience possible. I have no concerns leaving my children there during the day and it puts my mind at ease at work all day knowing that they
are safe and happy.

A great nursery which I would have no hesitation in recommending. Having sent two children here, I have witnessed them both grow and flourish as a result of the care and learning at Mayfield.

My son started the nursery a good few weeks ago and I must say it's the best thing I have ever done was put him into Mayfield. The staff are absolutely brilliant and couldn't be any nicer, they welcomed him in with open arms. The difference in him is amazing with learning new things and trying to speak
a lot more, would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

My daughter has been attending for a little over a year now and found it easy to settle in - she has developed strong attachments to staff; they are very friendly, approachable, caring and interested to cater for both my daughter's needs and our's as parents. She receives one to one attention, takes
part in a variety of activities (craft, outdoor play, visits to the park and more), and they provide a varied diet. When I pick up or drop off my daughter they are happy to recap on the day's events and there is also a diary to refer to as well. As a parent I feel involved as we receive regular emails with details of updates on policies / events and are asked for feedback too. I have every confidence in the nursery to provide the nurturing environment my daughter needs to develop. I also see how my daughter laughs, plays and interacts with the other kids and staff - this makes me confident she enjoys it!

My son has been at Mayfield Nursery since he was a baby and has loved every minute of it. He is now due to leave and go to school. The staff are friendly and helpful. They meet the needs of my son whilst making his days fun. There is a high turnover of staff which for me personally is an issue. They
do however, have great core staff also, who are wonderful at what they do. Since appointing the new manager the nursery is 100% better and can only improve even more. They have a good selection of lunches and the kids have an input in the choices. The chef is very accommodating also. They get outside a lot which is my favourite thing about the nursery as my son loves the outdoors. They also have plenty of other activities for the kids to enjoy like dress up days (What kid doesn't like dressing up?) Teddy bears picnic and other fun events. I hope this helps to give a little insight into Mayfield. Oh they have very recently introduced a uniform which I also think is great.

Happy to send my daughter to Mayfield twice a week. She comes back having experienced new things and is always smiling.
Staff are helpful and take care of my daughter in the baby room.
Would recommend the nursery as they care and support any needs.
I also like all the outdoor play.

My daughter has attended Mayfield Nursery since she was 6 months old and she is now two. The staff are very friendly and genuinely care about the children. My daughter is very happy there and I have a great relationship with all the staff.

My daughter always looks forward to going to nursery. The staff are very attentive and responsive to her needs. They have made the transition of going back to work a lot easier for her. She was very shy at first but was encouraged to come out of her shell in her own time. They were incredibly patient
and gave excellent advice during a difficult toilet training process.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Crosshill 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.882 for Smiley Stars Nursery - Crosshill is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.882

  • 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 Smiley Stars Nursery - Crosshill is based on 17 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 41 number of registered child places is 8.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
