I love picking my grandson up from nursery, he is so smiley and happy. The staff are very welcoming and happy to talk to me about all he has got up to during the day. The home/school communication is lovely too, Grandad and I are notified about events, and get to see the activities happening in the
setting on the nursery blog. We really do love being included as part of his extended family and want to thank the nursery for sending home a bouncy, happy little boy every day!

Reply from Marea Rawlings at The Rushmere Park Nursery

Thank you so much for your review, we value our children's wider family members. Our values focus on the 'whole' child and a child's extended family, like grandparents, play a big part in this. We hope to see you at the next nursery event.

Fantastic learning environment. My daughter has attended since she was two and has developed so much. In particular, I am super impressed with their phonics and numeracy programmes. My daughter is more than prepared for reception and has enjoyed all aspects of nursery. As parents, we couldn't be happier.

I have always found the nursery to be positive and helpful. My son has multiple allergies and they have adapted to help him. My daughter has blossomed and come on so much and I can't recommend them enough.

My little one loves attending nursery and seeing her going in happy means I can go home relaxed. She's learnt so much and also likes play time in the lovely playground.

We have LOVED this preschool. My son started at age 2 and a half for a couple of mornings a week and has increased his time to 3 days at age 4. His confidence has improved hugely and he is learning phonics and numbers, as well as doing baking and gardening and a great variety of other things. We would
highly recommend this to everyone!

My daughter has been attending Dinky Dragon's for almost two years - the nursery has grown from a class of 6 to two dozen for each session! As it has grown there have inevitably been changes in process, handling, communication etc - most positive, some a little bumpy! But throughout, the care provided
to the children has been exemplary. There are always new activities, mixed with familiar ones, organised in a predictable routine. The staff are attentive, kind, always open to listening to my concerns - wrap-around care is valued. The guidance for each child is individualised and the staff were flexible around the different phases of my daughter's developmental challenges. I am always relieved to see my daughter's happy excited face at the end of the day, and she is full of chatter about her adventures. My only criticism - the practical communication to parents isn't always clear and often comes with little time to adjust or ask questions. But we always get there in the end!

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending Dinky Dragon's. She can use sign language now, her vocabulary is amazing and she regularly talks about her teachers and how much she likes them. She has never come out unhappy and enjoys going into the nursery in the mornings.

My daughter gladly attends the Dinky Dragon's Nursery. She enjoys the environment along with the other children and she likes to play too. My girl loves to learn always something new. Here she can learn to count, color and many more.

My son and I love Dinky Dragons! He is 2 and a half and I have never left him so was very nervous dropping him off on his first day, but I needn't have worried at all! He loves his nursery and the staff are fabulous. The setting is colourful, vibrant and engaging with plenty to entertain the children,
whilst incorporating quiet areas for when the little ones need a rest.
The staff are so friendly, happy and positive, making learning fun and exciting. There are always different play areas set up when the children arrive, such as dinosaurs in sawdust, sensory 'goop' bags and my personal favourite was when they made a pirate sea scene together!
My son is a bit of a fussy eater but I am amazed at the amount he eats when he has his hot school lunch, the menu is well balanced and there is a good choice of food. Communication with his teachers is brilliant, I am kept up to date daily with his achievements via an app on my phone and I already feel part of the school's wider community as the other teachers are so happy and friendly.
I am so pleased we found Dinky Dragons and my son gets to experience such a happy and calm introduction to his school life, I can not recommend this nursery enough!

What a fabulous little nursery - fun, friendly, caring staff and a really cosy classroom. We're delighted she loves it, we thought she'd be a little anxious but she skips in every session as we smile and wave her off in the playground. We are so glad the school has opened its own nursery, our other
children attend St George's and we wouldn't send them anywhere else. Once again the whole ethos is child focused and we already feel part of her nursery experience, which is very reassuring. Could not be a happier mum with happy children, cared for by wonderful staff.

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.
