  • Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Acton Park, London
Acton Park nursery is based within Acton Park’s Children Centre. It is one of the group's smaller nurseries offering places for children aged 3 months to 5 years. The small size enables the team to provide truly personal care in a cosy and homely environment. The children centre's location gives families access to a range of services, support and a monthly activity programme. They also have great links to all local feeder schools supporting children with transition.

A fantastic feature of the nursery is its location in the middle of the park, providing exciting outdoor learning right on the doorstep. The children take full advantage of this wonderful resource during nature walks and planned park activities which include regular Forest School sessions for Pre-schoolers. In addition, the nursery garden is full of exciting and engaging opportunities with large sandpits, dens and a vegetable garden.

Children also enjoy weekly French lessons, musical movement sessions and local outings which broaden the children’s view on the world.

My son attends Hugnry Caterpiller at Acton Park and we are very happy with the service provided by all members of staff. We like the fact that we are made aware of any changes, updates and concerns via e-mail and face to face. All staff is friendly and approachable so we will definitely recommend to
friends and family.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son is in the nursery and absolutely loves it (largely due to the staff)! He's been in since he was 1, they have a large garden area (in London terms and what I have seen in the Acton area) which he spends most of the in (and let's face it at that age all you wanted to do was play outside and run
around). His speech has developed so much since being there and I love it because its been natural and not that he has been coached to repeat words. He has also developed a love for music. The have a large range of activities they carry out - he comes home everyday with either paint, glitter, etc on him (but in a good way). The staff are amazing and my son literally runs out of the pram every morning to see them and doesn't even say bye to me! I highly recommend if you want a place that has a great outdoor space, friendly staff who care about kids and do exciting activities with them!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Acton Park 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.858 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - Acton Park is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 318 Ratings = 4.858

  • 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 - Acton Park is based on 27 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 31 number of registered child places is 6.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
