Thank you for your attention. Great choice, great teachers and classmates, kids will remember this wonderful experience.

Twinnie Day Nursery has been a good school with great teachers.
My son had a wonderful time throughout his school period and I believe they help them so well because every time he wants to go to school even at weekends.
Super. Great to recommend.

Reply from Bisi, Director at Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere)

We are pleased to have been a part of your child's life and we trust that he will continue to thrive.

Overall, the staff and management are professional and helpful. Activities (drawing and painting) are regularly organised.
We provide here are some areas for improvement:
1- the indoor and outdoor spaces are a bit small for the number of kids attending the nursery. The nursery feels overcrowded on
certain days.
2- the pushchair storage room is too small, roughly 3m2 to store more than ten buggies.
3- more importantly, for a few months, the entrance door of the nursery does not lock well.
We would be grateful if this can be fixed at the earliest convenience. We acknowledge that there are intermediary doors before being with the kids; however, the overall security will be improved with a functional entrance door.

Reply from Bisi Deru, Director at Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere)

We follow Ofsted's decision on the agreed number of spaces and staff ratio for children in each room and do not exceed the numbers because of health and safety. We utilise our outdoor space by ensuring that children use the garden according to their rooms eg when the preschoolers are using the garden the other 2 rooms will be indoors. We always use our discretion bearing in mind the safety of the children at all times.
It is not a legal requirement to provide a buggy shed, and there is a sign on the buggy shed door, that says "Buggy left at owners risk”. Nonetheless, we will put out notice for parents to fold their buggy in the shed to create space for others. With regards to the main gate, we are aware that the mechanism is faulty as it works sometimes and not at other times, and are in the process of getting it fixed. Thank you for your comment, in future, we are happy for you to approach the management team any time you have any comments or questions.

I have had such a wonderful experience with this nursery. I know that when I’m not around my son is being taken care of really well. I love the fact we have an app to check up on our little ones to keep our minds at rest.

My son is 21 months old and has attended pre-school here since June 2023. He enjoys it so much and his learning, especially his speech and language, has rocketed since joining. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and always warm and caring to children. I highly recommend Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere)!

Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere) has done a wonderful job with my two-year-old daughter. She started two months ago and so far I can see a bigger improvement in her English and her confidence in speaking the language. She loves going to nursery and when she comes home, all she talks about is the activities
they do with her.

I would 100% recommend this nursery. All the staff here are friendly, compassionate and you can clearly see that they have a true passion for looking after children. They go above and beyond. My child has attended this nursery since April 2022 and I am so grateful for the staff's support in helping
my daughter achieve the best of her ability, improving my child’s confidence, social and verbal skills. They also post daily photos/news posts on their Nursery app, which kept me updated with my child’s activities through the day.
Thank you for all your help!
We will miss you all.

Twinnie Day Nursery has literally been my son’s second home. Every individual staff member goes above and beyond to ensure my child is at his happiest. The care and love they show to all children is amazing and I cannot fault them one bit.
My son has learnt so much from everyone and being in an environment
where he thrives is the best reward a mother can ever feel.
Thank you Twinnie Day Nursery for everything! Really appreciate it!

Absolutely disgusted with the level of service and help I got with this nursery. Told me I was ok to pay at the end of the month to then change their minds and tell me it has to be at the beginning of the month. When I made it very clear of my needs and they purely ignored me. I just started a new job
and needed the support and they clearly couldn’t help me at all, lied to me and was completely rude about it. The attitude and lack of care made me very upset and anxious of how I’m meant to work with my 1yr old. Would not recommend this nursery at all to anyone who asks me for a recommendation.

Reply from Bisi Deru, Manager at Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere)

I am sorry about your experience that has upset you and made you feel anxious, it was not our intention for this to happen. As we were looking forward to you using our services and it had to end on the first day that your son started with us. It was all down to miscommunication, as our policy is that fees are paid in advance.
I tried to understand your situation and offered that you pay some of the money now (without stating a specific figure) or on the 20th of the month, but you insisted on terminating on the same day that your child started. I can only apologise again and wish you all the best in future.

My child has attended this nursery since a baby. Despite the change of staff since last year, she enjoys her time there every day. The staff are always attentive and caring. The current management is very understanding of her needs and they always accommodate requests. Allergies and medical history
are taken quite seriously, so I have always felt reassured. I would recommend this nursery, it has a lovely and homely feel that makes the children feel safe.

My son goes to this nursery - it’s such a lovely environment. The children are treated brilliantly, the teachers are excellent with their care and I know my child is well looked after. My son really enjoys going to this school and I am so glad I chose this one. Their snacks and lunch are always healthy
and they do great activities and learn so much. When speaking to the teachers, their communication is always excellent! They have got great learning equipment for different sections, for different learning.

My experience of being a mother of a child at Twinnie Day Nursery is nice so far, at the moment I am comfortable bringing my child to the nursery, though still nervous because I am overprotective of my child. But I hope he learns well and they treat him equally.

Reply from Bisi Deru, Nursery Manager at Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere)

We understand that it is a natural feeling for a mum to be nervous when their child is starting nursery for the first time. However, at Twinnies, we pride ourselves that our children here are happy and we work in collaboration with parents to ensure this is our foundation that we build on because when children are happy they can develop all round. Please communicate with us always so that we keep working together.

I had no regret taking my child to Twinnie Day Nursery as there was a positive impact in behavioural attitude, learning attitude and responding to instructions. I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone with a 5-stars.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.321)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.321) out of 10 for Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.321 for Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere) is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.321

  • 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 Twinnie Day Nursery (Belvedere) is based on 12 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
