I am very happy with the level of care provided for my son. The staff are well trained, competent and extremely friendly. I am kept well informed of different activities and events taking place within nursery setting. My son absolutely loves attending and is very upset when it is not his day to go in.
I would highly recommend this nursery

My child had a difficult time settling into the nursery because he is very attached to me, therefore he was a bit anxious. The Nursery staff is very friendly and helpful, they helped my child to settle in and kept me informed every day, reassuring me with photos. Now he is really happy going there and
is enjoying every activity, especially phonics which I think is amazing.

My daughter has attended this nursery since February 2022 and is due to transfer to a new nursery due to us moving away. We're quite sad to go as my daughter has thrived here. The teachers have been amazing and incredibly supportive and informative. My daughter has always been happy to attend and truly
adores her time here, continuously telling me how she loves her teachers and friends. A really great nursery and I would recommend it to anyone looking for their little ones to begin their education.

Reply from Jonathan Callender, Head of School at The Rushmere Park Nursery

Thank you so much for the feedback. Our nursery staff work very hard to ensure that children thrive in a safe and nurturing environment so we're happy to read about your positive experience. Many thanks.

I currently have 2 children in the nursery who both really enjoy attending. Both have developed in confidence and are enjoying all the activities. The school keep you updated with photos and teachers are always available, if there are any concerns. The children come home happy and blow kisses to their
teachers when they leave. Positive, happy experience for both.

The nursery have been exceptional with our child who suffers with severe anxiety and separation disorder. They have been kind, patient and professional and our child has changed from a shy, quiet boy to a happy confident one. I have no hesitation in recommending Rushmere Park. An excellent placement
with exceptional staff and amazing learning opportunities for children.

We are very pleased with our child's nursery. She has achieved so much, especially when it comes to her phonics. The phonics session provided have helped our child gain so much knowledge and confidence with reading and writing. The staff are very friendly and maintain excellent communication. There
are always lots of activities each day surrounding weekly topics. This setting has an excellent balance between play and learning and has, therefore, set our child up well for transitioning to school.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.083)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.083) out of 10 for The Rushmere Park 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 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 The Rushmere Park Nursery 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 3.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Rushmere Park Nursery 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.083

  • 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.
