My son has been attending the nursery since he was a little over 1 year old, in that time I have trusted the nursery with the most precious thing in my and my wife's lives, he has been cared for and very well looked after! They have developed his speech, his confidence, and his life skills, and have
prepared him for the next step (big boy school) which starts in September. I can't thank all the staff there enough for their help in developing my boy and showing compassion and care to him! Thank you all!

Reply from Sonny, Marketing at Flitwick Day Nursery

Your heartfelt review has truly touched us! It's been a privilege to care for your son since he was just over 1 year old. Watching him grow in speech, confidence, and life skills has been a joy. We're thrilled to have prepared him for "big boy school" this September! Thank you for entrusting us with the most precious thing in your lives. Your gratitude means the world to our dedicated team!

Our child has been attending the nursery for a year and full time for the past few months. The nursery have been fantastic in understanding his needs from being a baby to now a toddler. His development and confidence have excelled through their nurturing approach and engaging activities. We always get
lots of observational updates so we truly understand what he has been learning. His favourites include anything water-based, reading and dancing to nursery rhymes! Even his parents have learnt from him about the latter!
All staff are welcoming on a daily basis, from the management team through to reception, catering and the room staff.
When there are sicknesses going around we are always made aware.
The team are very caring and genuinely ask after the children as well as updates on anything they have noticed on a daily basis.
I look forward to his continued journey at the nursery.

My child has attended the nursery for almost a year, it's very welcoming and the staff are lovely. I've always felt happy with the level of care and the development we've seen has been great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.

We are very pleased with the nursery. All staff we have encountered are very friendly and always seem happy to be at work. We appreciate the photos and regular updates on the app. My child has settled in very well at the nursery and is happy to be left with the staff who care for him. The menu is varied
and seemingly enjoyed and eating independently has come naturally with your support. The staff are always happy to answer any questions at the end of the day and share the activities my child has been taking part in throughout the day. We do loose outer clothing on occasion but happy to say so far we have managed to reclaim everything and any change of clothes throughout the day, we always receive to take home on the same day. Thank you for our experience so far.

My children have been with Flitwick Day Nursery for almost a year now. They joined at seven months old when they weren't even crawling, but the lovely staff at the nursery have helped them hit their milestones. Since crawling, walking, feeding themselves to now trying to talk. They love playing in the
nursery garden, love the messy play, love creating artwork to bring home for us and learning important life skills while still having fun! All the staff are amazing to my children, love them. No matter who you speak with you are always greeted with kindness. My children are so happy at nursery, thank you to everyone at Flitwick Day Nursery we couldn't do it without you!

Flitwick Day Nursery provides a good education/learning environment for our children. They have been there since they were 11 months and most of the staff have made them feel so welcome it is like a second home (even asking for the staff when at home). Meals are very good and dietary needs are well
catered for. The parent communication app is excellent and allows you to communicate directly with the members of staff who care for your child. Our child has developed so much - socially, personally and in all areas of the curriculum- sharing nicely, beautiful table manners, lots of songs and rhymes learned and a new word or two every day!

Flitwick Day Nursery has been amazing since my daughter has started back when she was 9 months old! Now she is 18 months and she is thriving with the help of staff and loves playing with the other children. The staff really take into account what your targets are for your child, as well as what they
observe! The app they use is amazing, which gives you updates throughout the day, and as a first time mum it has been so reassuring! Would highly recommend the nursery to everyone and thank you to the manager and the team for an amazing job you do every day!

My son has been attending nursery since he was 15 months and he’s now 3 1/2 and still loves it! I’ve always had great communication from the staff, seeing the photos and activities they do is a lovely touch. It’s been great to see how my child has grown and developed over the years and has made some
lovely friendships.

My daughter recently started at the nursery and absolutely loves it! She runs in every day excited and is always coming home telling me about the wonderful things she has been up to! The staff are friendly and approachable, nothing is ever too much! The nursery itself is clean, welcoming and decorated
with children’s art! Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Fabulous and Friendly... my son loves his time at this nursery... I struggle to get a kiss from him in the mornings as he is eager to go and play. The staff are all warm and welcoming and it's very comforting to know that my son is being looked after in an environment which is safe, caring and a place
of fun which he enjoys.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.099)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.099) out of 10 for Flitwick Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.823 for Flitwick Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.823

  • 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 4.276 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Flitwick Day Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.476

  • 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.
