This nursery was absolutely the right choice for my son. Over the years he's made a good group of friends and has improved in so many ways, especially his speech. All the staff at the nursery look after him well and he's grown very fond of everyone.

I cannot put into words how happy and content I am with the overall experience my son had here. He is a child with special needs and the progress he has made here is amazing. When he first joined the nursery his social skills where next to zero, now he loves playing along with other children. The help
and support he had from the staff is amazing. I am very grateful to all of them. The management has been amazing too, very helpful and supportive. Thank you.

I'm a single parent who works part-time and I must say the nusery is very accommodating to my needs. I'm very thankful for the support that they provide to me and my daughter.
The nursery is local to me, which is essential. They are flexible to me if I require additional days.
My daughter's development
has improved vastly and I'm excited for her learning to progress.
The nursery is great and I'm satisfied.

In the beginning we had struggled with settling in. However staff were always happy to help and listen to my worries, which helped my little one to settle a enjoy the nursery.
Now it's time to leave the nursery to go to school and she loves it a lot.
The staff are very friendly and supporting.

I am very happy with the experience and how every teacher takes care of my daughter. She gets all help she needs in her development in well-being and being independent. I can be honest and say that she is ready for her foundation year and I didn't believe that we can achieve that. Big thank you to every
staff member!

The overall experience with Play and Learn Day Nursery is great. Honestly, I do not have criticisms to make as the staff members and management are exceptionally caring. Always there to help, support and make suggestions on how to best support the children. Whenever I dropped my son there, I wasn't
much scared or worried about him because they made me feel secure that he was safe and well-taken care of. They really support children's development. My son's development increased greatly since he started attending Play & Learn Day Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Play and Learn Day Nursery 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.808 for Play and Learn Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.808

  • 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 Play and Learn Day Nursery is based on 20 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
