I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff have made me as a very nervous mother feel a lot happier going back to work after maternity. The facilities are amazing and the outdoor space is a massive bonus that my little boy loves. The nursery is amazing in every way and all the staff are welcoming,
caring and always enthusiastic. My daughter is coming in September and I have no reservations about this. A big thumbs up.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our son has attended this nursery for 18 months and he has been very happy there. He has bonded well with the staff and they seem to genuinely care deeply about the children and their welfare. Our son is responding well to the curriculum and enjoys the activities. The curriculum is shared with us, so
we can focus on the same areas at home to support his development.
The outdoor space is excellent, with plenty of space, play equipment and an area that is not mowed to attract wildlife and encourage the children to be comfortable in nature. The children spend time outside most days, which is very important to us.
Recently there has been a higher level of staff turnover which is a concern that I hope will be addressed and is not indicative of an underlying issue.
We have no hesitation to highly recommend this nursery.

We have been parents of this nursery since 2014 - all 3 of our children have attended. For us it is exceptional - the amazing gardens, well-planned activities but most importantly the absolutely wonderful and caring staff. Many members of staff have looked after all of our children. We drop off our
youngest (the only one still attending) knowing he will be safe, happy and well cared for. Our two older children have been well prepared for starting reception by the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.793)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.793) out of 10 for Bentley Manor Childcare Centre 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 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 4.944 for Bentley Manor Childcare Centre is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 4.849 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bentley Manor Childcare Centre is based on 18 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.2 = 0.849

  • 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.
