We had a very unpleasant experience with this nursery, therefore we don't recommend it. We had to unfortunately withdraw our son from their care after only 4 days over some concerns we had. Unfortunately I can't provide more information on the nature of the concerns. We decided to report our concerns
to Ofsted.

We've been delighted with our experience at Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street since July 2023. The staff in the Toddler room are exceptionally caring and attentive, providing a nurturing environment where our son thrives. The facilities are well-maintained, meals are nutritious and varied, the
activities are both educational and engaging. It's been wonderful to see our little one grow and develop in such a supportive setting. The management have been highly approachable and supportive making it a seamless experience for us as parents also. Highly recommended as an outstanding nursery! Thank you to all the amazing team!

This nursery excels in prioritising both family engagement and safeguarding procedures. The staff are approachable and dedicated ensuring the utmost care for children's health and wellbeing. Having experienced their warm atmosphere first hand I am impressed by their robust safety measure and holistic
approach to child development. Highly recommended for families seeking a nurturing and secure environment for their kids. The management team works closely with parents, children and external agencies when needed impressively. The service warrants fair compensation for excellent standards.

My daughter loves going into the Tweenies room in the morning. Her speech has come on leaps and bounds and this is all thanks to the hard work the staff in the room put into my child's care. We have regular updates and we know she is in safe hands.

My son started here approx 6 months ago. He settled in really well with the help of the amazing staff! The staff here are so helpful and friendly while remaining professional. The nursery provide daily updates via an app, they make sure there are plenty of activities to do and I am happy with how well
he is cared for. He is always excited to go to nursery and I cannot recommend this setting highly enough!

Our daughter has really settled into the Nursery since she started in May 2023, she seems so happy and can see she is developing with her learning and doing actions of songs the nursery do and we try to "guess" which ones she joins in with. We have loved all the craft work she comes home with incorporating
life events such as Remembrance day and that usually comes home covered in glitter.
Thank you to the staff who do such an amazing job looking after her.

My little boy started nursery in September 2023 and they've been amazing with us both. As a first-time Mum I was really nervous even thinking about leaving him but after a show around seeing the wonderful facilities and how lovely the staff were with us both I knew this was the nursery for us.
They
go above and beyond for the children and their families and I can't thank them enough for making us feel so welcome and taking great care of my little one.
It's such a wonderful place and I couldn't recommend them enough.

I can't thank all the staff enough for the care and attention they pay to my little one, and have done since he started when he was around 9 months old now in the Kindergarten room, he's experienced every room and the care has been excellent throughout. He has learnt and developed more than I could
have given him at home. The development doesn't even stop when they leave, the "at home" activities are amazing too! So impressed with this setting.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.795 for The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.795

  • 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 The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street is based on 27 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 113 number of registered child places is 22.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
