I have had two grandchildren go to this lovely nursery, the staff are wonderful, really friendly, rooms are amazing. It was always a pleasure to collect my grandchildren as I always felt very welcomed. I would definitely recommend this nursery, there are no negatives at all. Keep up the good work all.

My Son started at Caerleon Childcare Cardiff when he was 11 months old and is now two and a half years old. He has thoroughly enjoyed the last 18 months and has made new friends with the other children and staff members. He talks often about the girls that work at Caerleon Childcare Cardiff which
goes to prove the close bond the staff have with the children. I believe they have a great balance with their staff in regards to age, personalities, and experience.


I am also the director of a company. We train all the staff at Caerleon Childcare Cardiff in Level 3 paediatric first aid. This is not some basic first aid course there is a large amount of advanced topics on this course and every member of staff from Caerleon Childcare Cardiff have passed the exams comfortably.


The job these girls do is very underestimated and sometimes not appreciated by society but I would personally like to thank you all for the job you do!

Caerleon Child Care has been amazing. The effort the staff put in to make our child feel comfortable has been second to none. We see his development every week. Also, the support that we have received must be recognised. We truly admire what everyone at Caerleon has done. We hope you continue this great
service.


I would recommend them to anyone looking for child care. Absolutely amazing. Thank you guys.

My daughter started Caerleon Child Care Cardiff when she was 9 months old, now she is 4 1/2 years and has started full-time school!
The staff have been outstanding - supporting my child through all areas of development. She can now even count not just in English but Welsh, Spanish, Japanese. Out-standing!!
My daughter has grown into a strong and intelligent 'big' girl thank you to all the amazing staff.
Not just nursery and playing in jump but my daughter thoroughly enjoys me taking her to the family days Caerleon Child Care Cardiff put on - out of this world fantastic!
I can't recommend this nursery enough and all the staff .

Thanks to all the staff at Caerleon Child Care for the love and care you have given to our oldest child and continue to provide to our daughter. It was just by chance that we ended up in Caerleon and when we made the last minute decision, we were very nervous! I am so glad we made that decision. He
has really enjoyed every single day of his 3 years with you and has grown into a very happy, settled little boy. We are constantly amazed by what he learns at nursery, he speaks Spanish, Welsh and even some Japanese! The day he came home reciting the names of the planets and explaining about gravity was really special! He will miss you all so much! Thank you once again, with all our love. I can't recommended Caerleon Child Care highly enough.

Thank you so much for all your help and care looking after my son. He has really enjoyed his time at nursery and I am sure this is down to the fun and caring attitudes of all the staff. We will miss Caerleon Child Care Cardiff very much, especially our son. Best wishes to all the team.

We chose Caerleon Child Care when my son was 4 months old after a bad experience at another nursery. As a new mum, I was reluctant to send him anywhere else but as soon as we visited Caerleon it just felt right.


At 11 months he is still in the baby room and the care he has received has been absolutely

fantastic. Jenna who manages the baby room has been amazing and put my mind at rest from day 1. My son loves his days at nursery and has a smile on his face from the minute we arrive each morning. All of the girls in the baby room deserve praise as they have made a nervous mum very happy.

Thank you very much Kara. The team are so happy to read your wonderful comments and we are so happy that we have made such a difference to you and your family.

My two children have been at Caerleon Child Care Cardiff for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with everything at Caerleon. The staff are fantastic, the food is all lovely and healthy and there's always an alternative if my boys don't like it. Their facilities are brilliant, especially having
the use of jump and the garden. I will always recommend Caerleon to anyone I know is looking.

Thanks to Caerleon Child Care Cardiff's outstanding care and excellent facilities which turn my son from a frequently ill and timid boy to a strong and confident young man. The staff are experienced and very caring, and the management team responds very quickly and are flexible to parents' specific
needs. My son settled very well and developed a close bond to his key worker. It is definitely a helpful and supportive hand to those busy parents. I really recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high standard childcare.

Our daughter started in the nursery almost 4 months ago (she's now 14 months old) and seems to really enjoy it. She's always in a good mood when we pick her up, which I think is testament to the staff and the varying activities they do. Before she started, we had several transition periods (free of
charge), building from a couple of hours to almost a full day in order for her to get used to it.
The staff are always very helpful and friendly, and always provide an itinerary of what my daughter has been up to in the day, what & when she's fed and any naps taken.
The children also have use of the facilities in a trampoline centre (next door) for an hour in the morning before it opens, which they clearly enjoy.
The outside play area is also very sizeable, with plenty of room for the children to run around.
The nursery also has the occasional trip, along with little events at the nursery and photo days.
Lastly, the security seems pretty stringent.
All in all, I'd certainly recommend this nursery.

Caerleon is a fantastic nursery which truly provides the 'best of both worlds' for us.
It is a large building with spacious rooms and great facilities. The outdoor area has recently been re-done and the children are frequently out having fun when I go to collect my child. The link with jump is invaluable,
my child loves having such a great play-space exclusively for him and his friends on a daily basis, perfect for energetic little ones!
Despite it's size, there is a real family/community atmosphere to the nursery, everyone seems to know all of the children, not just those in their specific room and they make a real effort to take an interest in each and every child.
We love attending the fun days the nursery organises, it's great to see the nursery setting up close and the staff interacting with the children and having fun.
I think my child would attend 7 days a week if he could!

All 3 of our children have loved going to Caerleon. The staff are all great and it is lovely that so many have been there since the start. My son started not long after they first opened and now I have two daughters there full time. The activities are varied and there is plenty on free to keep two very
busy girls occupied. I would thoroughly recommend

Recommended by a good friend in the first instance I can honestly say I have not been disappointed with the service and care received by the team at Caerleon.


Always available when I need them to be, and when my son is there they take the best care of him, so much so that he does not want to come

home some days!


The facilities are second to none! As are the team!


I cannot recommend them all highly enough.

The nursery is fantastic. My daughter loves going there & all the staff are excellent. Always excited to see my daughter daily & their enthusiasm never fails. They do so many activities during the day which you could never do at home. The fact that the kids use jump for an hour everyday is the sealing
point when choosing this nursery. Couldn't fault the care here at all.

I can't recommend this nursery high enough. My first child has enjoyed every minute of her time spent with these caring and warm staff. My wife and I do not have family in Cardiff as we relocated here but we feel Caerleon Child Care is our Family. Our child loves the staff and they do more for us than
what we would ever have expected. The food is well received. The education is outstanding. Our second child is about to start now and we are looking forward to him bonding and also becoming a part of the Caerleon family.

Our child joined the nursery 6 Months ago. The Manager was exceptional in helping us settle our child down by booking us unlimited settling sessions so that we could see our baby settle and bond with the staff in the baby room. We were able to stay with our baby before leaving her on her on her own.
The staff are so caring, friendly and just lovely which is why we choose the nursery out of all the others we looked at. Our child arrives every morning with a huge smile for the staff and we know she is really happy and cared for just like we do at home. I can't recommended this nursery high enough and look forward to many more years with them. It has everything in one place including a play centre and the most beautiful garden for my child to play in.

I found Caerleon childcare to be an excellent place for my son to learn, play and grow. The staff are very caring and professional. They have brilliant facilities including an hour in Jump every morning before it is open to the public. My little one loves attending.

My child has been attending the nursery since 2014. He has progressed extremely well and learned so much.
The education provided is excellent and he surprises all the time at home with new things he has learned, he can even count in English, Welsh and Spanish.
The staff are wonderful, caring and
genuinely love my child. I have never felt unsafe about leaving him and never had any issues.
We sadly have to let say goodbye to the nursery this year as our little boy joins big school, and we as parents and our little boy will be really sad to leave behind a wonderful nursery but we know we can still pop in and visit while visiting the connecting Play Centre. We made the best choice for our child and are really glad we found them.

My child has been attending Caerleon since July 2014. He enjoys every minute of the day he is here and has learned so much. He has made so many lovely friends and his development has come on so much. I feel safe to leave him every day and know he be happy and have a great time. the food is always lovely
and it has encouraged him to try new things that he wouldn't always eat at home. I will be very sad when he has to leave for school in September but I will be sure to come and visit often.

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.
