Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter went to this nursery when it first opened until she started school (she's now 8) and my 10-month-old has been going for the last few months. For me, it was a no-brainer to send my son there. The staff are fantastic and it's such a credit to a nursery to retain staff in the way they do.
The
nursery has now expanded and is probably twice the size it was when my daughter went but it still feels personal and friendly and almost all the same staff are still there.
They put so much effort into the menus - even for the babies, the rooms and the toys always look clean and safe, and they go out of their way to cater for any individual needs a child might have. They are always interacting with the children - the environment they create is both nurturing and stimulating.
I believe that they genuinely care for each and every one of the children they look after, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Reply from Kaye Knox, Child Care Manager at Caerleon Child Care Cardiff

Thank you so much Lezanne for your incredible review! This has made me so proud as a Manager to hear your feedback and it is defiantly the staff team that makes us a special place.

My eldest son, joined Caerleon Nursery just as I was due to return to work when he was turning one. My Son has enjoyed his time at Caerleon and made some lovely friends. The staff are fantastic; they all have a superb attitude with the children and parents alike. My Son is moving on to school in a few
weeks, I will be very sad to see him leave but I'm delighted to also be sending my second son to Caerleon. He has just started and has a number of years for him to excel like my eldest son did.
We have been to many of Caerleon open days, they are always well organised, fun and most of all shows how dedicated and professional all the staff are.

My son has been here over a month now and the people that work here are a God send. He absolutely loves it there and every day he attends he has a huge smile and can't wait to see everyone. The book they supply with all the activities and food diary is amazing and really helpful. My son will stay here
until school. We both will be sad when the time comes. By far the best nursery and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of a nursery. I never have to worry about anything when he's there and they put you at ease.

My child started in the baby room in January 2017 and is now coming to the end of her second month, She has settled in very easily and this is all down to the fabulous work done by all the staff. Their friendly and warming approach make drop-off each day very easy. They listen to our needs and have
a very effective communication method for both comments from the nursery and comments by return from parents. The fact that I pick up a very happy child at the end of each day says it all.

I have two children who both attended the nursery and cannot recommend it enough.
The family days are amazing, the staff go above and beyond to make these days special for the whole family. Even though my youngest has recently left for school we have been invited to the next family day to catch up
with all the staff and children.
I have never had any issues in the 4 years my children attended. They looked forward to every morning especially having access to a trampoline centre which was a fantastic bonus.

My daughter loves going to her nursery. She always runs to the lovely girls who look after her. She has been going for over a year now. I was recommended the nursery through a friend who sent her child there and that was important knowing her child had a great experience there. It is a huge step to
trust someone with your child's safety and wellbeing. I have had all my worries eased by the staff immediately. They are so professional.
My daughter has learnt many new skills and made many new friends.
I know when she goes to school, that she has already had a great stepping stone by going to the nursery.

Caerleon child care has been amazing with my nephew. He attended a number of settling in visits and nothing was too much for the staff. He settled in very quickly and really enjoyed his morning visits to the trampoline centre. The food on offer is excellent and of a well-balanced and quality. The
staff are always friendly and you can see they love what they do thank you so much for looking after him and I'm sure you have given him the foundation blocks ready for his new chapter as he starts state nursery.

I have dropped off and picked up both of my granddaughters from this nursery over the last few years. The staff are always very friendly and the nursery has a lovely atmosphere where all the children who attend look very happy. It's particularly nice to see my eldest granddaughter keen to go back to
the nursery and drop off her sister, the staff there all know and remember her. It's also lovely to have witnessed both girls happy and looking forward to going there. Keep up the good work.

My son started at 11 months old and I have never left him before starting back to work and was very anxious about leaving him.
The staff at the nursery has helped me settle back into work with the knowledge my little man is very happy.
The staff are so friendly loving and caring and makes my little
man very happy. He has come on so well since starting nursery, very chatty and developing so quickly and developed a brilliant appetite.
He is very happy when I drop him off and always smiling when I collect him. He is currently transitioning into the toddler room and will miss the nursery girls so much but looking forward to the next stage and his further development.
I can't thank the girls enough for their care for my little one and it has helped me being able to return to work knowing he is happy and in a great place.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our son started in the baby room at 6 months old and is now making his transitions into the toddler room. In the 6 months he has been at the nursery he has flourished becoming an increasingly independent, chatty little man. All the staff in the baby room are always welcoming and have made the transition
back to work less stressful knowing I am leaving my baby in a loving and supportive environment. The days activities are always well planned and our little man is kept very busy with messy play, music and trips to jump. He is a big fan of the meals cooked on site which allows him to have an increasing range of tastes and textures, which are documented in his daily report book.


The ethos at Caerleon is very much a supportive, extended family unit and we feel comfortable and confident leaving our baby here knowing he will be cared for with the same deal of affection he gets at home with us.

When touring the nursery we felt so relaxed and comfortable, and that feeling continues to this day. Our daughter started when she was 8 months old and she's now been here a month.


The settling in sessions were a godsend. We did require a few but we never felt like we were being a burden. When it

came to me returning to work, I had a happy girl who was settled in her new surroundings and it really did make the process so much easier. The staff are amazingly friendly and know each child so well. They also keep to each child's individual routine which is brilliant. We get a daily report on her activities, the food she's eaten and how she's slept, so we're never in the dark about anything. She's so happy and settled here that it just makes me feel chuffed to bits!


I've never once regretted our decision to send our daughter to Caerleon and can't thank the staff enough for all the reassurance and care they've given us as a family in such a short space of time.

Choosing a nursery for our son (now 9 months) felt like purchasing a new home. After visiting a few in the area, we knew that Caerleon was 'the one' pretty much as soon as we walked through the door. The staff are so friendly and professional and the nursery environment is stimulating and engaging.
The family days are great too! When we leave our son we know that he's a part of a wonderful little community that is carefully managed by the kindest of people, what more could you ask for?

Our daughter has been attending Caerleon for just over a year. We looked at a number of different nurseries in the area and we were instantly impressed with Caerleon and haven't been disappointed.


Our daughter started in the baby room when she was 11-months-old and settled in well thanks to the

settling in sessions provided by Caerleon. She is now in the toddler room and always seems happy when I pick her up having been involved in all sorts of activities and play throughout the day. The staff are all lovely, welcoming, friendly, caring, professional and always seem willing to go the extra mile. The facilitates are great and the food freshly prepared.


I would highly recommend Caerleon to anyone.

My son has been at the nursery for 9 months now and he thoroughly enjoys it. He has settled so well and has built up a strong rapport with his key workers and the other staff. The nursery is wonderful and is such a warm and caring environment. The staff are so professional and friendly and you can

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.
