Kensington Place Day Nursery is proud to have received a Good rating at their latest Ofsted inspection. (Nov 2024)

The nursery offers a secure and cosy environment for your child.

The space has a ‘townhouse’ feel, with dedicated rooms for babies and older children, access to the soft play area and a beautifully decorated garden, allowing the nursery to offer your children a creative, free-flow experience.

The magical Kensington Place Nursery (formerly known as Maggie and Rose) is a unique concept in early years’ development, breaking the mould from the standard in both design and learning ethos.

At the home-from-home in Kensington, they are passionate about getting to know each child, allowing them the time and space to develop at their own pace. Whether developing literacy, numeracy or fine motor skills, the creative approach and imaginative spaces ensure that learning is fun, rewarding and effective.

The nursery kitchen prepares all food using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and the Brasserie exposes the children to the most amazing foods and flavours.

The friendly, experienced team is well equipped to work with children with special needs and children who have English as an additional language.

Please book a tour, the staff would love to show parents and their children around and answer any questions.

Maggie & Rose Kensington is a beautiful brand new nursery with lots of light and outside space. My daughter was one of the first babies to start there and I won't lie, we had a few teething problems at the beginning, which were, however, quickly sorted out and she loved going there. She learned so much
during her time there, which was incredible. She started walking, talking in English, singing and eating proper meals with the other kids. The staff are very friendly and loving and being a new nursery the toys were brand new and everything very clean. My daughter was hardly ever ill.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) out of 10 for Kensington Place Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.791 for Kensington Place Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.791

  • 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 Kensington Place Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 17 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
