My daughter's nursery was advised by senco we should apply for NEG 2-year-old funding, they did not mention to us we list term of funding. Child hurt herself at nursery they did not notify me or my husband, my child is under special care she's considered as special needs. She was always left on side. I spoke with nursery manager she said I wouldn't want you to put our nursery down because two-year-old funding it's not about the funding. The lack of support they have not taken it seriously I personally would not recommend this nursery, it's just a playgroup they do not teach anything.
Reply from Divya Vaghela, Owner at Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you’ve not had a good experience. We provide high emphasis on Parental Partnership and from the outset parents are actively involved in their child’s learning journey.
When we identify a child needs special requirements, we involve the parents and, before we can access assistance from the local authority multi-professionals, we ask consent from the parents so that we can work together to meet the child’s requirements. If the parents refuses or are hesitant to give consent, we will ensure we can meet the child’s needs.
Nappies are changed regularly whilst the child is at the Kindergarten and a record is kept although, a child can soil their nappy the moment they leave the Kindergarten. The mother had notified us that the child has sensitive skin and therefore their child is prone to rashes.
NEG 2 funding is only available for children aged 2 years or over if the child meets the eligibility criteria. In this case whilst the child was with us the criteria was not met when the child joined as the child was under 2 years old and this was confirmed by the local SENCO coordinator. The Kindergarten spoke to the Early Years co-ordinator who confirmed that they would explain why the child did not meet the eligibility criteria in July 2019.
If a child has had an injury at the Kindergarten, a record is made and the person picking up are made aware of the injury and asked to sign the accident form and a record is kept.
We actively involve all the children at the Kindergarten, including those with special requirements. Special needs children are stimulated by their interest and arrangements are made to meet these requirements.
We ensure all children meet THEIR potential whilst they are at the Kindergarten and move to the primary setting. Majority of our children leave with awareness of phonics, mathematics and all other Early Years Foundation goals.

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.994 for Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.994
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 Christchurch Kindergarten @ Queensbury Children's Nursery is based on 15 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
