Carisbrook is a wonderful nursery and well organised. My child has developed well and his communication skills have improved well. He has grown so well for a 2-year-old. The staff are amazing and lovely. I would recommend it. Thank you very much, Carisbrook for the time we spent here.

I am honoured to have known Carisbrook Day Nursery, where my son has attended for the past 2 years. My son has improved a lot in communication skills, identifying colours, interacting better with family and friends and singing well. Thank you all. God bless.

I would highly recommend WMB Carisbrook Day Nursery. Since my son has attended, it's brought him on so much with his development and his social skills. He comes home happy all the time and can't wait to go back.

Very happy with everything that the staff do for my son, I love to see the photos of him joining in on the app and social media. The staff are all very friendly and the manager is very approachable and always
there for help and support. I cannot thank you all enough.

I was very anxious and scared about my child starting at the nursery, the manager put my mind at ease straight away, my little boy loves coming to nursery, and I love seeing through the day the photos on social media and reading the observations that get posted onto the app.
My little boy comes out
telling me what he's done that day.
The staff are always smiling, very caring and very professional.

Carisbrook Day Nursery staff are very welcoming. They are well organised and I feel like my child has the right support and encouragement to develop and grow. The managers encourage staff to do their best and they interact well with all the children. The managers also ensure that all my questions are
answered and my child has made a good bond with every staff member in Carisbrook Day Nursery.

My child loves to come to nursery every morning, she is developing so quickly and loves singing while she is home like in the nursery. All staff are lovely and polite, I like the way they are taking care of my child since she started. I will recommend my friends and family to this nursery because I
am happy being part of the parents who bring their children to Carisbrook Day Nursery. Good communication with parents.

My daughter has had the best, amazing time at WMB Carisbrook Nursery. She seems to be having fun and she is gaining confidence every day. The staff are brilliant, basing on the elog when I log onto it she is involved in different activities. As the only child with elder sisters she used is not used
to playing with children and socialising, but now she is brilliant. She loves the teachers/carers. Recently big improvement, she can feed herself. Lastly, the environment is welcoming, always staff members with a happy smile.

Excellent nursery. My little one started a year ago and loves it. He settled in quickly and I have seen a massive change in his development. He is more confident and his skills have come on massively. The staff are excellent. Very attentive and encouraging and I am given daily updates on how his day
has been.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.968 for WMB Carisbrook Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.968

  • 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 4.956 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for WMB Carisbrook Day Nursery is based on 13 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. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.956

  • 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.
