I am pretty much satisfied with my child's performance, he has gained a lot of confidence and overcome his shyness. The teachers, especially the manager, are very cooperative and caring. They listen to all your concerns of your child and work on it with you.

I would highly recommend First Day Nursery. It's a very good nursery. The staff are caring, highly qualified and supportive. They provide a daily update on what your child has been doing throughout the day which is really good, as it allows you to see if the child is settling well in the nursery. My
daughter is very happy. She improves and has learnt so much from this nursery. The Key Worker is very nice. Cheering the kids all the time and commenting nicely on how well they look. On a daily basis, they are teaching new things, so the children can develop more. The Nursery provides a variety of healthy food. I was very concerned about my daughters eating habits but she eats and enjoys everything. Very helpful and supportive if you are running late and cannot pick up on time. I will surely put my son in this nursery when he grows up. Very safe and secure nursery. If you are looking for a good nursery, then this is the best.

I love this nursery. Before putting my son in this nursery I was worried about his speech delay but now his speech has progressed a lot since he joined First Day Nursery. I have also seen a positive development in him in other development areas. Staff here is very caring and supportive. I appreciate
the way they welcome children and parents. Management is easily approached as well.
I would definitely recommend First Day Nursery to parents who are looking for a safe and loving environment for their children.

I would highly recommend First Day Nursery. The staff is caring, highly qualified and attentive. My son is very happy here.
The Nursery provides a variety of healthy food, which is very Important for my son growth.
Lots of activities take place during the day such as cooking, walks to local shops
and train station, art and craft etc. His key worker is very caring and helpful especially when, we as parents, need to discuss his problems. My son has developed lots of good habits because of the Nursery such as sharing, tidy up, and going to the toilet by himself.

The First Day Nursery is a lovely place for our little one to have fun, learn and develop.
He is so excited each morning to go to his nursery and play with his friends including his caretakers.
It feels really good to be greeted and treated so warmly by all the staff there.
I would definitely recommend
this nursery to all those parents who are looking for a safe, clean and fun place for their children.

This is my child's first nursery. He starts going to nursery at age 3. So we were worried initially that it will be difficult for him to adjust. But staff are experts in their field and they handled it well.
They have given special care to my child and make him very comfortable.


We are happy that

we choose FirstDay Nursery for our child and definitely recommend to others.

My child started to go to this nursery from the opening. My child is very happy to be there. Since she started to go on this nursery her speech has progressed a lot, she loves the food given. In the nursery, everything is organised on the way I do for my child at home! I am very happy and would strongly
recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.704)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.704) out of 10 for First Day Nursery 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.972 for First Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 4.732 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Day Nursery 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 82 number of registered child places is 16.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.732

  • 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.
