I have been so pleased with my experience so far. They have been so accommodating to my child's needs, very informative and loads of open communication. My child has really bonded with the staff members and although my child finds it hard for me to leave, my child loves all the experiences they have
whilst attending. My child's language has improved so much in just a month and my credit goes to them. Each week there's been a new skill/activity my child has learnt which has been great for their imagination and play time at home.

Reply from Daisy Sanders, Marketing at Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Perivale

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that your child is thriving and enjoying their time with us. It's great to know our team's support and communication have made a positive impact. We love seeing your child grow, and we truly appreciate your kind words and trust!

I'm satisfied with the nursery. The most satisfying thing is the updates that they give about meals and what they've planned to do during the day, so as a parent, I'm up to date, on what my child ate and in what activity they have been involved in.

I am pleased to share that my daughter has developed a strong rapport with the staff. Upon initially starting several months ago, each day presented significant challenges for both her and the team, particularly given her sensitivity. However, I am delighted to report that she now expresses genuine
contentment, approaching each day with enthusiasm and eagerness.

My experience with Hungry Caterpillars Nursery in Perivale for my daughter is very good; she’s improved at learning to play in a group. When I come back to collect her, she's always crying as she wants to stay more. I just want to add advice if possible to cancel a section of half term to be 3 days
a week, as is better for kids.

My twins started at this nursery in January, they only go for two days for half a day but still, with so few hours a week we are all impressed with their development, the activities carried out that I can see on the app are incredible they will definitely learn a lot we are very happy. All the people
who work there so far I can only thank because I see that my children feel comfortable, so for us, it is a sign that they are well taken care of.
We just have to thank each and every staff for being so dedicated to our little ones.

I was looking last minute for a nursery that my daughter can attend using the 15 hour entitlement. She has just turned 4 years old but cannot start reception until next September. The hungry caterpillar nursery were able to see us straight away for a look around and then offered her a space for 10 hours
a week divided into two days of our choosing. This nursery has really helped my daughter progress the past couple of months; socially, emotionally and mentally. She has made some friends and likes all the teachers. Her ABCs have really improved and so have her number skills, which were her weak points before. She’s coming home and drawing stickman figures and saying “this is you, mummy!” She wasn’t able to draw anything but scribbles before. This nursery is a top place to bring your child in preparation for primary school. 10/10 and really looking forward to continuing the curriculum year with you.

Amazing staff and team, really helped my son with speaking and opening up. He's progressed so much and is now talking a lot more and clearer, learning to pronounce the words. Learning to do things he loves and new skills, can't thank the team enough!
Also, my son has dairy allergies and absolutely
amazed with the support.

My son has been attending this nursery for nearly 2 years - he absolutely loves it.
The teachers are amazing and always informative about the daily and weekly tasks my son participates in.
My son has grown in confidence and has learned many great skill sets which will help in his transition from
nursery to reception this year in September.

I have always wanted my son to be in this nursery, he was in another nursery and because there was no space in Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Perivale. As soon as I received a call from the nursery saying that there is space now I have changed him and I have never regretted it. I love the environment

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Perivale 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.811 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Perivale is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.811

  • 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 Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Perivale is based on 14 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 14 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.
