My daughter loves attending nursery. She is so well cared for, and I never have to worry about her whilst she is there. I am kept very well informed about her daily activities and overall progress and know she is incredibly well-supported in her development. The staff are amazing and plan exciting activities
each day and know her well; they value feedback from parents to ensure good continuity of care. The manager works hard and is very understanding of changes in circumstances and does her best to accommodate changes to days where possible. I highly recommend this absolutely outstanding nursery.

It's my second child that I'm bringing into this nursery, and as usual, the staff have been brilliant, offering valuable support and guidance, answering any queries and offering tips, regarding my toddler, as he grows up. Couldn't ask for a better team!

My daughter attends Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave, and I couldn't be more happier with the nursery. My daughter loves attending, and her speech, confidence and knowledge have come on leaps and bounds since attending. The staff are friendly and attentive and are always happy to answer any questions
I have. They always provide her with a good range of activities that help my daughter gain valuable skills that have given her a great start to her learning. She loves the meals that are cooked for her, and they are always very nutritious. The whole team at Cotgrave Day Nursery are a credit to Serendipitys.

My daughter has had a wonderful experience all the way from nursery to pre-school. She's developed extremely well in preparation for big school. Serendipitys have provided great care and attention, and we will be thrilled to be sending her younger sister. Thanks.

I have two children in Serendipitys, both started at around six months of age, and have always been happy to attend. They love the staff, and this gives me peace of mind. I know they're well cared for.

Even before lockdown, Serendipity has been amazing but their care and professionalism over the last year have been incredible. It feels like a family atmosphere among the children, staff and parents which is hard to find. Our three year old has been at Serendipity for two and a half years and has flourished,
made friends and had an amazing time. I'd highly recommend Serendipity to any parents, I know they take care of our child like they were one of their own.

Serendipitys Cotgrave have looked after both my boys over the last four years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. This is an excellent nursery. The staff have always been welcoming, friendly and caring. The facilities are excellent, and the nursery has played a huge part in their development.
My boys have loved all of the activities indoors and outdoors, and both of their confidences have grown. Thank you so much.

The team at Serendipitys are absolutely amazing. After looking after my girls for the last seven years, they are like family. The last month has been really challenging for many reasons, but I feel so confident dropping off each day knowing that my youngest is so happy and safe as she runs in with barely
a backwards glance. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 5.000 for Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave is calculated as follows: ( (252 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Serendipitys Day Nursery Cotgrave is based on 21 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 21 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.
