I cannot praise this nursery enough, Jemima House Day Nursery has been amazing for my child and he has thrived there, both socially (he has a couple best friends!) and mentally he has learnt a lot (we found out how much he loves volcanoes thanks to pre-school). My child is so comfortable here and says
how the staff are all his friends, it makes dropping him off so much easier. I also appreciate how they help my child with his big emotions, they put real effort into understanding and helping each child with any upset or change.
The staff are wonderful, the service is wonderful, and the education is wonderful, 10/10 place!

Jemima House Day Nursery is a welcoming, friendly and nurturing pre-school. They have been so caring towards both of my children and supported them to grow in confidence and be ready to move on to primary school.

Staff are wonderful and attentive, including management. They provide a safe, nurturing environment where all can learn and thrive, with lots of fun, engaging activities on offer, including indoors and outdoors. Local walks when possible so children get out into the community. Meals are a big hit with
my little one too - healthy and tasty! My little one loves going to school everyday and that says it all. They feel happy and safe at school and we as parents are happy and can get on with our work day knowing this. Can't rate this Jemima House Day Nursery highly enough!

From the moment my son joined Jemima House Day Nursery, we have felt nothing but care. support and positivity. My son has loved every minute of his time here. In the space of a year, his conference has improved no end and his social skills have also improved. The learning environment is very engaging
and the communication from staff is excellent. Thank you for all you have done, we can't wait for our youngest son to join you next year!

Reply from Tracey James, Nursery Manager at Jemima House Day Nursery

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to be part of your son's learning journey and we are looking forward to welcoming the next one!

We adore Jemima House and all the wonderful staff! They are caring, kind and build genuine relationships with the children. My child talks about them all the time, and really benefits from the range of activities they do, the open play environment and lovely outdoor space. They do lots of themed activities
and I cannot fault the quality of any of the care, equipment or planning.

Both of our children attend Jemima House; one since he was 6 months old who is now preparing to go to school, and the other since he was 9 months. Both absolutely love spending time at the nursery and always come out to greet me at the end of the day smiling and chatting about the various activities
they have participated in. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. I always feel able to ask questions and with the help of the app and daily feedback, I feel like I fully understand what my children have been doing each day. I feel my children are receiving the best possible care every day and I couldn't ask for anything more.

My daughter is much happier at the nursery and it's been a positive change forced by the Covid-19 pandemic. If only we’d have known about the quality of service beforehand we most certainly would have had our daughter attend much earlier.

Teddy absolutely adores going to nursery! Starting during covid and lockdown I was worried how he would settle with other people after not really having chance to interact with anyone else outside our household. He settled in straight away, and now just toddles in when I drop him off and doesn’t look
back! All the girls that have worked with him are amazing, and he always leaves with a massive smile on his face!

We have two children who attend the nursery and we couldn’t be more happy with the care they receive. The staff are always so knowledgeable about all aspects of the children’s day and provide a thorough handover each day. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and professional and I always feel so
reassured knowing the children are in safe hands. I really believe the children will always have fond memories of their time at Jemima House.

The team have been fantastic with my son. He had previously been at another local nursery where he remained unsettled and they struggled to manage his behavior. This has not been an issue in this setting and he loves to go to nursery now. Going in happily and leaving in a good mood. The photos shared
of his activities are a really good indicator of his day and his development has come on considerably in the few months he has attended.

This nursery is in a beautiful bright airy setting and the childcare practitioners are attentive and give a full explanation of all the days activities, learning progress and eating routines of our daughter. Communication from staff and the manager have been brilliant and their willingness to assist
on changed hours and flexibly work with us as parents is really brilliant. Lovely approach to learning provided by the care practitioners, where they allow development through both child led and adult led learning and play. Knowing your child is safe and happy are essential and Jemima House Day Nursery certainly go above and beyond to provide this care.

All the staff are friendly and lovely, my daughter loves going to the nursery, we are always welcomed and patient with the little ones.
The facilities are very good and always kept clean, the standards are at the highest and all staff are very professional.
Also, mixing with all different ages is
a great opportunity for them to learn and engage in complex play routines.
However the most important aspect for us is the education and development aspect, our little one has changed so much in the last year since she has been at the nursery and we are very happy with her progression.
We look forward to our second child joining the nursery in due course.

My daughter has been attending Jemima House for four months now. Having only previously attended a preschool for one day per week from 9 am - 3 pm, I was concerned that the day at nursery would feel particularly long for her, however, she is kept stimulated by the interesting range of activities offered
throughout the day and the care and attention of staff, especially her key worker. My daughter is always happy and chatty at pick up time and I receive a detailed summary of her day from staff, which is lovely to hear. We have started receiving a fantastic weekly newsletter. The nursery held some special family events over the Christmas period. The children spend plenty of time outdoors which is brilliant. The safety of the children is a key priority. Thank you to the dedicated team for caring and nurturing my daughter.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.465)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.465) out of 10 for Jemima House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.896 for Jemima House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Jemima House Day Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769

  • 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.
