We have been so impressed with the care and dedication the staff of Young Oaks Day Nursery have put into looking after our son. They’ve worked really hard to ensure his settling in has been smooth.
It’s a lovely, homely nursery with a great community feel and lots of staff that have worked there for
a long time. They’re incredibly inventive with the things they do to keep the children occupied. It feels like they have a great balance of keeping the children happy whilst also learning.
Our son has already learned lots and we can see him developing every week he spends there. We cannot recommend Young Oaks and the staff there more highly.

Our daughter is so happy at this nursery and happily trots in. She is really well cared for and enjoys the social nature of the nursery. I am also very happy with the education there as she has just turned three and has already been taught all her numbers and letters as well as life skills like sharing
and vocalising her needs.

We are so happy that we came across this nursery, I would highly recommend it.
My daughter started when she turned one and the staff were brilliant during the settling in period. The staff are all amazing and very passionate about their jobs, there have been no changes to staff during her time at
the nursery.
My daughter loves going to nursery and is always happy when we drop her/collect her. We hear about everything she gets up to on a daily basis and she has built great relationships with her key workers and other children. We couldn’t be happier with the care provided!

Young Oaks Day Nursery has been a little hidden gem for us and our 1.5-year-old son. After our childcare arrangements suddenly changed in September, we had to find an alternative quickly and stumbled across Young Oaks (approx. 5 mins from HOP station). Our son had previously been used to a nanny, who
he had a strong bond with and so we were keen to find a small, intimate and caring nursery with staff that would make the transition as smooth as possible. The manager is highly experienced and took our son under her wing. Young Oaks ticked the most important boxes for us, as staff turnover is low and and our son's key worker has been a brilliant throughout looking after our son as soon as he arrives each morning. Our little one really enjoys going to nursery and has made lots of lovely friends. We love having our daily report at the end of each day and hearing what activities they have been up to. We would definitely recommend it to other local parents in SE23.

My daughter has been at the nursery for a year after transferring from another setting. She settled in quickly, has forged strong bonds and friendships with the staff and children and is happy and secure there. She experienced a period of separation anxiety when she found out she was going to be a big
sister and the nursery was excellent in handling this - working collaboratively and patiently with us to support her through it.
The staff are capable and caring and turnover is very low. The nursery has a homely, family atmosphere. The children spend a lot of time together and it is nice to see the older children helping the younger children. The manager of the nursery is very hands on and close to the children, yet very responsive, professional and receptive to feedback. Communication is good, with monthly newsletters and daily activity reports. Emails are picked up and responded to quickly and the nursery is very flexible and accommodating with extra sessions and emergency care.

Our little boy started at Young Oaks when he turned 1 and I went back to work and he's been there for 3 months now. I was apprehensive about leaving him at nursery but my worries were unfounded as he absolutely loves it! He is so happy when we arrive - he runs in to see his friends and to play with
the toys and it's evident that he's really comfortable in the environment there. The staff are excellent at communicating feedback and our son is building great relationships with everyone. The staff make a real effort to make learning tasks varied and do a good range of activities to keep the children busy and entertained. We can really see the progress our son is making with his speech and motor skills. As well as his learning, his personal development is also coming on leaps and bounds and he is becoming really confident engaging with other children. At home and out socially we can really see how much he's progressed since starting nursery. We're very happy with Young Oaks Day Nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Young Oaks for 4 months. She is still young and can't yet speak, but she brings us her coat in the mornings, eager to leave the house so that she can go to nursery. When we arrive, she runs off to greet the staff and her friends without sparing a thought for mummy or
daddy! She loves nursery! The staff are wonderful, warm, nurturing while also being professional and conscientious. The nursery manager is outstanding - I can't praise her highly enough for her professionalism and her amazing way of calming any upset child and any anxious parent. I was really worried before leaving my little one at nursery to return to work full time, but I needn't have worried, because the manager took my daughter (and me at times!) under her wing and created a home away from home for my daughter. I couldn't be happier with Young Oaks.

My 3 year old daughter has been at Young Oaks (2 days a week) for a year now and she absolutely loves it there. The staff are really friendly and kind, she has a great relationship with each of them. She always has fun and is full of beans when she gets home in the evening eager to tell us what she
has been doing. We get lots of feedback at the end of the day on the feedback form telling us about her mood and activities and even what she ate and how long she slept. I feel very confident leaving her there. She gets on well with the other children and I feel her learning is really starting to come on in leaps and bounds, they do lots of singing and counting and borrows a different book every week. The same staff are there everyday so I have a great relationship with them too. I highly recommend Young Oaks.

My 3 years old son loves the nursery. He settled it really quickly when he joined back in April (without having any nursery experience prior that). The staff are very friendly and caring. I like the fact the there is a very little staff rotation (unlike in other nurseries) which helps build a great
bond between carers and children (and parents).
I really like when I pick up my son at the end of the day to listen to a feedback from his teachers about his day ..as there are always great stories of him having fun during the day.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.128)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.128) out of 10 for Pitta Patta Day Nursery 2 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 Pitta Patta Day Nursery 2 is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 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 3.128 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pitta Patta Day Nursery 2 is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 39 number of registered child places is 7.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.128

  • 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.
