My grandson attends this nursery and always looks forward to going. The staff are marvellous and always ready to help, going over and above at every opportunity. The daily photos and updates on his activities and development are a wonderful way of helping us as a family feel part of his day there.

My son started at Home from Home when he was just seven months old, and as a first-time parent I was petrified to leave him in the care of others. We attended three stay-and-play sessions, but after the first session, I knew this was the place! He absolutely loved it there!
Staff were friendly, understanding
and so nurturing to all children - I just knew my son would flourish in their care.
Throughout my son's nursery journey, lots of referrals were made to support my son's development and nursery were so supportive of this, sending off relevant documents and evidence to support these referrals.
All staff were so accommodating to my son's needs, I really couldn't have gotten through each referral process without them.
Day-to-day communication with the nursery was so consistent and thorough, it was just amazing.
I have never thought I, as a parent, would get so attached to a nursery, I would 100% recommend Home From Home to any parent.

Our little girl has been going to Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd for over a year now and she absolutely loves it!
Home from home has brought her on so much! They have been a great support throughout potty training. The care children, and family, receive is something very special.
Staff
members are always so happy and polite.
I love getting to see the photographs through the app! Staff always keep you up to date with any newsletters and topics the children are learning about.
I wish we could keep her at home from home forever!
Very grateful to have such a wonderful nursery on our doorstep.

We've had nothing but positive experiences with Home from Home Nursery. The staff are incredible and my little girl has thrived since joining in September 2022. I love the app that allows me to see photos and a personal diary of my little girl's day. It definitely helps going to work knowing she's so
well cared for as well as having incredible learning experiences that will help her to develop each week. Communication with the nursery is fantastic and they're only a phone call away with any queries. My little one has settled beautifully and that's thanks to the patience, enthusiasm and passion of the staff who work there. Diolch!

Home From Home is the best children’s daycare service in South Wales.
They provide the absolute best service and care and always adhere to specific requirements needed for your child.
Both of my children have attended from age 9 months right through to 4 and a half years old and I cannot express
enough how amazing this nursery is!
I would 100% recommend it to any parent or carer looking for their child to be cared for, have all their needs met, nurtured and developed.
My girls loved every minute of their little journey at Home From Home!
Thank you.

My daughter started at home from home at 9 months old.
Our minds were put at ease from day one after receiving a photograph of her out on a walk with a big smile on her face!
My daughter has thrived from attending nursery two mornings a week, she has learned so much and gets so excited to go and
see the girls and her little friends.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of sending their child here.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was really apprehensive about my daughter starting nursery due to her still being breastfed, her weight gain being monitored and her general reserved disposition. She had always struggled to go down for naps without being fed to sleep so I had a lot of anxieties around leaving her for a full working
day in a strange place. We had a few stay and play sessions where we were amazed at how quickly she settled and how quickly she warmed to the staff. I was able to leave her there on our second visit as she seemed so relaxed and comfortable there - she even started putting her arms out to the girls at drop off within the first couple of weeks. What has been most helpful to us is how willing staff have been to support her eating/weight gain by adapting recipes and options and giving her healthy alternatives. The updates I have received each day she is there have been invaluable and given us confidence that the children’s well-being is always priority.

After visiting this nursery, we didn't need to visit any others, we knew it was perfect for us. My daughter settled so quickly and the app with updates and photos reassure me too! They cater for her vegetarian diet and nothing is too much for the staff, who are all super friendly! I love that they have
an outdoor area and go for walks, this is very important to us as a family.

We absolutely love Home from Home Children's Day Nursery. It is the only nursery my son (2 years) has been able to settle in and the girls are absolutely brilliant with him. He has a favourite nursery worker, who is always happy to see him, tells me about his day and is really positive. All of the girls
have a good understanding of child development and the children are able to decide for themselves what they participate in.
The facilities are brilliant, the soft play, the outdoor area and the amount of toys and books available. I love hearing about all the different activities the girls have set up for the kids. The kitchen provide a vegan diet for my son and I receive daily updates of what he's eaten, done throughout the day, nappy changes and lots of pictures so it feels like I'm watching him throughout the day!
I've noticed a change in my son since he has attended the nursery, his speech is coming along and he acts out songs and things he's learned at nursery with us. 100% recommend.

I cannot speak highly enough of Home from Home Children's day nursery. From the exceptional facilities and the outstanding staff and management team they have in place - they have a fantastic set-up in every area.
My two children have attended the setting since 2018 and have both flourished from the
experience. I have always felt that both have received outstanding and genuine care from the staff and management within the nursery. My eldest child has additional needs and the nursery catered for this and developed specific plans to meet his needs without the push from myself. The educational element has been at the forefront of the boy's experience which has and will equip them well for the transition to school
I will be sad to see the end of our journey with Home from home when we take the step to school in September 22 but know they have more than equipped my children with the skills they need to take this step.
It truly is a Home from home.

Finding a nursery can be daunting, mothers guilt kick in, is it the best place? Is my child going to be happy? I can honestly say from the moment I walked in I wanted my son to go there. He's been there 2 years now and absolutely loves it! He's always happy and that puts me at ease whilst at work. All
the staff are amazing I literally can't fault anything about them. My son loves all the girls that's have helped him grow into a confident little boy. The food menu I get jealous over sometimes when I'm eating a sandwich and he's got home-cooked meals and desserts. I have highly recommended Home from home to anyone who asks what nursery my son attends. During covid which was a hard time for everyone they went above and beyond to make sure all the children and staff were well looked after. I know my son is going to miss all the girls once he leaves to start school. I will miss them all as well. I can't thank them all enough! 5* from myself and my boy.

I could not recommend this nursery enough. Every staff member is extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They go above and beyond every day. I can not believe how well the staff know all the children with their individual likes and dislikes. If my son is ever upset going (which isn’t often)
they know exactly which staff member to get and the right things to say to get him smiling and going in happy. He comes out every day smiling and happy and asks to see the staff when at home. I couldn’t have picked a better nursery and will be devastated when my son has to leave.

Home from Home Children's Day Nursery is a fantastic setting. It caters for the children brilliantly. I love that the staff keep in touch throughout the day updating me in how my little boy is doing, what snack/food he has had and sending some photos of him. My little one has now started performing
actions to songs and tries to sing along to them since attending the nursery. The staff are so friendly and are very approachable. I can go to work knowing my little boy is in safe hands. I would definitely recommend!

My son has attended this nursery since 2019. The care and attention staff have provided has been exceptional, with the staff providing frequent updates throughout the day regarding toileting, food and observations. When moving rooms due to age, the transitional period has allowed my son to become familiar
with the room itself, the new staff and children he will be with. This not only allowed my son to feel comfortable but it has also put me at ease knowing he is safe and supported throughout the period of change. I absolutely love the daily observations and photo’s I receive via the app. My son loves to look through the photos once he is home and they help us to talk about what he has been doing during the day. My son loves attending the nursery, with him frequently talking about nursery, staff members and the children he is with. It honestly does feel like a 'home from home’ and I cannot thank the staff enough for the support they have provided to my son and myself.

My little boy started at Home from Home January 2021 after being recommended by a family member. During my son's time at Home from Home, he has received nothing but love and kindness from his key worker and the girls. My son was admitted to hospital a few weeks ago and was unable to attend nursery for
a number of weeks. During the weeks of my son's absence, the girls were emailing, phoning and checking in on my son which was so lovely. My son attends nursery Tuesday and Wednesday mornings while I am at work, I can honestly say it's the highlight of my day receiving updates and photos of my son's day through the app, knowing how much fun he has had with his friends. The variety of meals I see my son is eating is amazing. I can't praise the staff enough and I'm so thankful for everything they do for my son.

I cannot praise the staff at Home From Home enough. They are absolutely outstanding at what they do and provide a professional service with first class care to my daughter. As I'm sure like many children, the pandemic has had an impact on them, particularly in my daughter's case where seeing new faces
and mixing with other people has been quite challenging. She absolutely worships her key worker and feels safe, happy and content with her which as a parent is all I ask for. Everything from the care provided, to facilities, equipment and nutrition is exceptional. Thank you Home From Home.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.986 for Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.986

  • 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 Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
