Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. It's wonderful to hear that your daughter has transitioned to nursery with the help of our team. We put a huge emphasis on that settling-in period, as it can be stressful for children (and parents!) to start at a new nursery, so it's really great to see that it is working. We make sure to only employ the most passionate and dedicated practitioners in our nurseries, and it is great to see that this is reflected in your daughter's learning and development. We look forward to hopefully welcoming your younger daughter to The Nursery Family soon. Reward and recognition are something we truly value at The Nursery Family, so if there are any team members in particular that you would like to mention, please email me at hannahh@thenurseryfamily.co.uk so that we can celebrate their hard work!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, the team will be overjoyed to read it. We love our garden, outdoor play is so important, and we firmly believe that children thrive whilst in nature! I love the food the nursery menu has to offer, whenever I visit the nurseries I always make sure to arrive at lunchtime so I can have a little plate! We put a lot of work into our menu, working with a nutritionist to make sure that every meal is both delicious and nutritious! I'm pleased to read that your daughter has made some friendships which she can continue to grow throughout school. If there are any team members in particular that you would like to mention, please do email me on hannahh@thenurseryfamily.co.uk - reward and recognition is something of great importance to us, and we love to celebrate our practitioners hard work!

Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review! I am so happy to hear that your son loves to come to nursery, the team work so hard to make sure that all of the children have a really fun, safe, and enriching environment to learn and play in! Our Beach School sessions really are amazing, and the children learn so much from them, we love going out and about! The team read all of the reviews left on here, and will be really happy to read this! If there are any team members, in particular, you would like to recognise, please pop me an email at amy@thenurseryfamily.co.uk - it's really important to us that we reward the hard work of our talented practitioners within The Nursery Family. Have a great day!

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, I am so happy to hear that your daughter loves nursery and is growing and learning! Our puddings are all low sugar, and we follow the government guidelines on healthy eating for under fives. The advice is that children need the calories that puddings provide - as children are constantly moving and growing, they need a more calorie-dense diet than adults, and because their tummies are so small, this means more calorie-dense foods, however, we ensure that our meals and puddings contain the least amount of sugar possible, and where possible we omit sugar entirely and rely on fruit or vegetables (such as carrot or beetroot in our cakes). Our menu was developed alongside a nutritionist, and all of our puddings are fruit or milk-based. I understand that you have already spoken with the nursery about this, but if you would like to chat with our chef, then that can be arranged - please let your nursery manager know if you would like to do this.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Lancing Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.844 for Lancing Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.844
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 Lancing Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 18 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
