I just wanted to say a very big thank you to all the staff! My daughter has come on so much since starting 6 months ago! She's turning into a lovely and caring little girl thanks to your help and guidance. You all mean so much to her and she enjoys coming to you every day! You're all just an extended
part of our family!

Our son has been with Brook Cottage for almost a year and his development has come on leaps and bounds.
We really struggled with a nursery previously and so choosing a new one was a scary process for us but the team and Brook Cottage really made us feel at ease.
Our little boy is so content and leaves
with a huge smile on his face after every session.
All of the team are so wonderful but we really have to thank three staff members in particular for making our boy feel so at home.
We are so happy we found Brook Cottage and would recommend it to anyone.

Brilliant nursery, the ladies are all lovely and my little girl loves going to Brooke Cottage, she's come on leaps and bounds. She tells me the fun things she does at nursery, and has lovely bond with the ladies working there. The nursery is a home away from home for my little girl, and always there
to give me pointers if needed. Will always highly recommend this nursery.

All staff at Brook Cottage go above and beyond for the children that attend there. I can't thank you all enough for everything you have done and supported me with throughout my child's time with you so far. He's come on leaps and bounds in recent months so a special thank you to one staff member in
particular for supporting him with his time to listen and time to talk groups. I am so grateful for each and every one of you there and it's been a pleasure to work alongside you organising afternoons over at the home! Thank you so much.

We couldn't be happier with our choice to send our daughter to Brook Cottage. The staff, in a word, are fantastic! Our daughter had additional feeding needs (she had a nasogastric tube), and all of the staff trained in using it. Their care and compassion with our daughter is amazing and nothing is too
much trouble. They've gone out of their way to make her (and us) comfortable and we go to work knowing she's in excellent hands all day.

My son has a fantastic relationship with the nursery. I find them warm, welcoming and happy to support with his/our needs (e.g. potty, other nurseries I have heard have less patience). I love that a lot of the time is spent outdoors and because of the semi-rural area, they are able to enjoy walks along
the footpaths and in the village green opposite. I had originally wanted my son to attend a forest school but Brook Cottage gives him the best of both worlds. Highly recommend!

I am over the moon with Brook Cottage.
As many parents do, I have very high standards for the daycare of my little boy and I can’t fault them one bit.
My family have got to know the Brook Cottage staff over the months my son has been there, I have seen him grow at home there, drop-offs no longer
have tears but smiles as he’s excited for his day of adventures.
I know he will have new experiences each day, I love seeing the pictures of the days tuff tray and am delighted when he brings his artwork home.

An amazing intimate setting with super friendly staff who welcome my boys like their own. My youngest has just started at 4 months old and I feel totally confident leaving him with the girls at Brooke Cottage. All round great experience, highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Brook Cottage Childcare 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.991 for Brook Cottage Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.991

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brook Cottage Childcare is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 9 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.
