My child has been attending the nursery for a while now and we are very happy. The staff always invite us for events and we enjoy these so we can see what our son is doing at nursery and how happy he is when he is there. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

My child has been attending for over 1 year and I am very happy with the staff and activities they provide. My child's has English as an additional language and they provide so many activities to support her speech. The staff is diverse and we feel welcomed and my child loves it here.

My child has improved very well since attending Carisbrook nursery especially this term. There was issues of his behaviour before he started in a sense that he wasn't able to share and play well with friend but thanks to Carisbrook he now blends in well with friends and he always looks forward to attending
nursery everytime

WMB Carisbrook day nursery is absolutely amazing!
From the moment you enter you feel immediately at ease. The place is clean and atmosphere comfortable for family and friends.
All the staff is absolutely fantastic and polite and professional. They all go the extra mile to ensure your kids get the
best care.
Loving the app as well, as you can get updated of your child's progression. Thank you so much, Carisbrook, for creating such a beautiful and supportive, friendly and educational space for my child.

Brilliant, very welcoming.
Started when she was a baby alongside her brother.
Settled in really well and has lots of things to do.
Lots of updates, even on their own accounts and they work with your children, even if they have complex needs.

This is the second WMB Carisbrook Day Nursery nursery my child had attended, I transferred locations for personal reasons and have to say the nursery and staff ethos is so reassuring. What pleases me is that staff happiness means that my child is looked after by engaging and motivated staff. This is
my final term where my child will attend nursery and this saddens me as I have made great relationships with staff here. Thank you for a great experience as a parent where only little has gone wrong and where great achievements have happened. This nursery was dedicated and helped my child's transition to potty training which I was extremely worried about.
I wish WMB all the best for the future, and with kids now in school and hopefully more time to give, I'd love to remain a part of their journey in serving their local community should they require.

There has been significant improvement in Carisbrook since the covid era and this is reflected in the happiness of children and staff alike. My child enjoys being here and is developing as expected with the activities and learning set. The staff are approachable and welcoming and are happy to chat about
your child's day. Children's needs are catered for and I know that my child is safe here. The activities set are in line with my child's development and the outside area is accessible and engaging.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for WMB Carisbrook Day Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.970 for WMB Carisbrook Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.97

  • 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 WMB Carisbrook Day Nursery is based on 14 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
