Caerleon is a fantastic nursery. Both my children attend twice a week. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the boys love going. Their day is structured and full of approachable learning. The feedback at the end of the day is great to hear what they have been up to, eaten, sleep etc. Wouldn't hesitate
to recommend in a heartbeat.

Very welcoming and the girls make me and my son very welcome. He really enjoys his time and I know he is taken care of well.
He's settled very well and have recommended the nursery to my sister, whose son now attends.

My daughter moved into a new room in the new year and she has settled in so quickly.
All the girls are so lovely with her and it's such a comfort to see her so happy when I drop her off.

After a viewing of the nursery and having my queries answered by very helpful staff I placed my daughter in Caerleon last summer. She started the settling in sessions at around 6 months old which were fab and were tailored around her with gradual increases in time and frequency. She attends twice a
week in the baby room and is happy to go to the girls when I leave her for the day and is usually happy playing when I pick her up. She has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery and has formed fab relationships with the staff who can’t do enough.


I feel comfortable talking with the staff about any concerns or questions that I have. At pick up time, I’m always given a break down of my daughters day, her food and sleep patterns and any activities that she’s completed. A parents evening was held recently where I was given a report, shown my daughters progress.


I would recommend Caerleon to others as the staff are brilliant and my daughter is well looked after.

The staff here at Caerleon Child Care Cardiff are second to none, kind, caring, nurturing and compassionate yet professional and focussed to ensure your child has a safe and enjoyable environment to learn and grow.
I have never once had to worry about leaving my two girls here at Caerleon when I returned
to work. Any anxieties or concerns that you may have about leaving your little one for the first time are instantly put to one side as the friendly and competent staff look after your treasured little ones as if they were their own. Days are jam-packed with fun activities and the children love it. Thank you for being so amazing Caerleon Child Care Cardiff.

Thank you to all the staff at Caerleon Childcare in caring for my now 3-year-old twins. They came to you at 15 months old and left just before Christmas as they have now started nursery/primary school.
I would just like to say a big thank you to all the staff in helping my boys develop into the lovely
little men they are. They have developed the skills they require to progress at primary school and you have helped them in doing this.
They loved every minute of being in your care and never looked back when I dropped them off!
A big thanks from us all!

Reply from Rachel O' Brien, Manager at Caerleon Child Care Cardiff

Thank you for your lovely review Susan. I hope the boys are getting on well in school. Keep in touch.

Caerleon offers a brilliant settling in system which really helped my son to adapt to nursery and the new adults he would be spending time with. The staff are always welcoming and build a good rapport with the children and families.
Parents are informed of their children's daily activities which are
always varied and allow opportunities for structured activities as well as free play. Children are able to spend time in a play centre each morning as well as using the nursery outdoor area which is well resourced. Caerleon provides fantastic opportunities for social interactions amongst the children and key workers provide helpful next steps for parents to further support their child's development at home.
Caerleon involves parents in nursery life and holds family days throughout the year. Parents are able to access photographs of some of the day to day activities via the Caerleon Facebook page. I find this really valuable as my son is not old enough to verbally tell me about his day.

My son has settled in so well at the nursery and is usually very happy when I leave him and when I pick him up at the end of the day.


The staff are very friendly and professional.
And always approachable if I need to discuss my thing with them.


I feel at ease leaving him and no that he is loved

and cared for.


I like that there is a diary in his bag so I can look back at to see what’s he’s eaten and how much sleep he’s had if I haven’t picked him up that day ... this is very useful.

Since joining Caerleon Child Care my son has developed in so many ways. He is growing into a strong and independent child and has been able to build stronger relationships around him. My son has had a very happy and positive experience and staff are very loving and caring towards him. He absolutely
loves the morning play session in an indoor play centre before it is open to the public. The nursery itself is a very bright, clean and fun environment and the staff are supportive not only of my son but also to me as a parent.
Overall, we absolutely love Caerleon Child Care. Highly recommended.

My daughter has been at Caerleon for the last 18 months and she loves going to nursery, even on her days off she asks to go in. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly nothing is too big of a problem for them.


My daughter also has cows milk and soya allergies and the nursery are very accommodating

of this they give her alternative milk and they cook different meals to accommodate her allergies.


She is currently in the last room of the nursery and has been coming home daily talking about lots of activities she’s been doing at nursery she’s learning more and more each day.

My daughter has been coming to the nursery for a while she’s always happy and smiling when I pick her up, she loves going to nursery every morning and always wants to stay when it’s time to go home. She seems very happy in Caerleon which makes dropping off so much easier. The staff are friendly and
helpful.


She loves foundation phase and is learning a lot in there already she comes home signing nursery rhymes daily.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.386)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.386) out of 10 for Caerleon Child Care Cardiff 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 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 4.860 for Caerleon Child Care Cardiff is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.86

  • 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 4.526 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Caerleon Child Care Cardiff is based on 12 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.8 = 0.526

  • 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.
