We have been very lucky being able to have our twins attend Rock-a-tots. We were left with no childcare two weeks before returning to work after mat leave, the manager was very welcoming on our look around , which helped with our stress and worries, especially when we are not from the southwest originally.
We
have never had a problem with the girls not wanting to go to nursery. They walked through the door on their settling-in session with no dramas and still to this day a year and a half later they wake up wanting to go to nursery.
Extended family, that are hundreds of miles away are impressed with how much they have developed especially with their talking, this is all recorded on the log which is an excellent way of communicating about their day-to-day activities and development, through pictures, videos and comments.

Both of my boys have attended Rock a Tots. One who is now at school and one who is currently still there and I cannot recommend it enough. Both of my boys are thriving. All the staff members are absolutely lovely and so welcoming, they have followed both my boys' routines as asked with no issues. The
staff have been amazing from day 1. Any problems they are always happy to help and so understanding. I will always recommend this nursery to all my clients, my friends and my family.

All three of my children have attended Rock a Tots and have loved it there. The staff are always friendly and helpful. My daughter always leaves with a lovely smile on her face. It will be a sad day when it's her turn to leave for school!

My son absolutely loves going to nursery - he started in Jan 2024 at 12 months old and he is thriving.
The staff communicate really well, the app is regularly updated and I can see he accesses a range of activities.
The staff are friendly and caring. My little one is always happy during drop-off.
The
nursery works really well with us in regard to a specialised diet. They offer a variety of food and we have found his appetite/variety at home has also increased.
We loved the baby room as soon as we visited. Lots of space for activities and stimulation but also a quiet area for naps. It felt really homely.
We are so happy we chose this nursery.

This is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been attending from 10 months old and has recently moved from cubs to chipmunks. I was anxious about her moving group as the cub room girls are all so lovely and great with my daughter. They are just a bunch of genuinely nice people. However, she has taken
to her new team with as much fondness. It makes me incredibly happy that my daughter loves the teams so much. Can't ask for a better reflection of how good they all are than a very happy baby!

My child has been attending since September 2023. As this was a new experience for us both, my child struggled for a while however they now love spending time there and that is down to the warm-hearted and committed staff who have helped me and my child on the nursery journey. We are always welcomed
with smiles and I receive daily updates on how my child's day has gone via an online portal as well as during handover. Information about the nursery is regularly communicated via the portal or email and all staff are approachable if I am need of further information. My child's development and chance to have fun with their peers are key at this nursery, the outside space is being developed and the inside space is bright and attractive for the children. My child always looks forward to their next visit.

Great nursery!
Both our daughter and son have attended the nursery and have loved it.
Very friendly staff, who keep us informed about our child's day and achievements within the nursery.

Amazing nursery, incredible staff! My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. The staff are so amazing and the educational side is outstanding my daughter has learnt so much about the world due to the staff teaching amazingly. She's also learnt loads of Spanish! The activities they do with the
children are always different and incredibly enjoyable, days out, art and crafts and organised visits with guide dogs and horses. Just incredibly educational and the best time for my daughter.
The food they provide is also amazing, and healthy!

We moved here when my son was 18 months old and he has loved his time here. We have a basis of comparison from his previous nursery in Fareham and we can't speak more highly of Rock a Tots. The staff are caring and our son has developed so much and thrived here. They are always doing lots of different
activities and have helped immensely with potty training reading and writing even learning some Spanish! They have prepared him well for school in September if we have any more children, they will definitely be going to Rock a Tots.

Rock a Tots do lots of things with both my children. Recently my eldest has been to the zoo with them and they have had a guide dog in. My youngest has learned so many songs! The staff are mostly happy and welcoming and my children have a great day every time they go in.

Excellent nursery, all staff are lovely - my little boy has been attending since he was 11 months and he is 3 years old now, he loves attending and always comes home talking about his day. My little girl is due to start in September and the process has been very straight forward and quick responses
when emailed - tend to get an email response quickly to any questions I have.

My son has been attending Rock a Tots since October 2022 when he was 9 months old. It's a lovely nursery and I feel comfortable leaving him there for the day. When he started he was extremely clingy and now he walks in all by himself, he's really come out of his shell. All of the staff are lovely and
professional. Would definitely recommend it!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Rock a Tots Crownhill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.944 for Rock a Tots Crownhill is calculated as follows: ( (378 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 Rock a Tots Crownhill is based on 33 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8, which has been reached with 33 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.
