Our daughter has been with Flower Pots Apsley for just under 2.5 years now and it was easily one of the best decisions we have made. The setting is clean, safe and stimulating. The staff; from management to carers are exceptional. Our daughter has absolutely thrived under their care. We have never had
issues with payments, care or lack of information. Everything is always communicated to us in a timely manner and with professionalism. When we have a second child, it is going to Flower Pots Apsley without a doubt.

I am delighted to share my experience with the nursery staff at Flower Pots Apsley. From the moment we enrolled our child 3 years ago, the staff have shown exceptional care, dedication, and professionalism. They create a warm and nurturing environment that makes children feel safe and excited to learn.
They are always engaging with the kids through creative activities, promoting both social skills and individual development. Communication with parents is excellent; the staff regularly provide updates on our child's progress and any upcoming events. They are always open to feedback and willing to discuss any concerns. Overall, I highly recommend Flower Pots to any parent looking for a caring and stimulating place for their little ones. The staff truly go above and beyond, making it a wonderful community for both children and families.

My baby started nursery in February. She settled very quickly and now she is enjoying every day spent in nursery. The food is great, my baby is often having double portions, which never happens at home. The staff is very carrying, fulfilling every request as my baby is allergic to cows milk, so the
food and drinks provided should be dairy free.

The staff are amazing here, we are so happy with the care provided. Our son has allergies/asthma and so needs extra care with applying creams/inhaler and the staff are super helpful with this. They also have a strict policy around allergies which means we are confident our son is only eating the foods
he can. Flower Pots update the app with pictures and various updates throughout the day and we can see our son is having lots of fun and learning all the time. We viewed over 6 nurseries, and we are very happy that we chose Flower Pots! Our son loves it here

My little girl started the setting in January this year. As a mother of a child who was born just before lockdown I was extremely anxious and apprehensive about how she would find it as she has never been left or around a large group of people before. I did not need to worry, they have been beyond welcoming
and she has begun settling in so well to the nursery. Each day they do a range of activities, such as messy, creative, music and movement. In the short time, my little girl has been there, as parents we have already seen such a huge improvement in her development and social skills. Our daughter has a rare condition and disability and we were extremely worried about how she would cope and fit in. Everyone in the nursery has been so welcoming and have gone above and beyond to make sure all her needs are seen to. I can't wait to continue seeing her shine at flowerpots and I can not recommend it enough.

The staff at Flower Potts, Apsley are excellent. My son has been attending the nursery from 11months and is now 2 years old. He loves attending every day and I have every confidence in the staff and management at the nursery. Communication is very good and the level of personal care that my child receives
is also of the highest quality. He has made lots of friends, developed social and personal skills and is making excellent progress. At times there have been little hiccups with nappies or the wrong clothing but this is rare and the staff take great care in rectifying these incidents when they occur.

Our daughter absolutely loves Flower Pots, the staff go above and beyond to ensure she has an amazing day, setting out fantastic activities, time in the garden, singing and dancing and the food provided sounds delicious. As her mummy, I enjoy receiving regular updates through their online learning journal
seeing photos and videos of her carrying out activities while I am working gives me positive reassurance that she is happy. Even with covid about and extra safety measures in place the staff are always welcoming, even with masks on you can tell they are genuinely happy to greet each child and enjoy their job. Cannot recommend this setting enough, thank you Flower Pots!

I can’t recommend Flower Pots Apsley highly enough. I’ve been sending my two children full time since 2015 here and they are always happy, eats well. They never came home scruffy or even runny nose. All children seems to have good social skills/ well spoken and very well prepared for big schools. All
nursery practitioners/ managers are friendly, caring and children love to spend time and learning with them. Every single penny well spent for good caring nursery and my children are bright sparks thanks to Flower Pots Apsley.

From the moment we had a viewing at the baby room back in 2019, we knew we'd chosen the best nursery for our son. The staff were all so welcoming and gave some much-needed reassurance! It felt like he would really be looked after as an individual which is what you want when you're handing over your
precious little one into someone else's care. The girls were absolutely fantastic during the first lockdown; sending pictures and videos and keeping in touch. By the time he returned to nursery he was in the next class up in the toddler room which again he seems to thoroughly enjoy. So much so that he sulks when I collect him at the end of the day! The staff have been brilliant - I can't honestly thank them enough. The little ones have a good routine, sleep time, good food and most importantly lots of varied play and learning time. They've soldiered on throughout the pandemic ensuring our little ones are as safe as can be as well as keeping them happy.

Our daughter has been coming here since she was 8 months old and absolutely loves it. We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made to attend Flower Pots. The staff goes above and beyond for the children and we know our daughter is very well looked after in their care. She loves the fresh nutritious
meals, the big spaces to play in and the daily activities she participates in. She always has so much enthusiasm to talk about her day when we pick her up.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.625) out of 10 for Flower Pots Day Nursery (Apsley) 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Flower Pots Day Nursery (Apsley) is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Flower Pots Day Nursery (Apsley) is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.25

  • 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.
