My son absolutely loves it at South Lee. He is thriving and always comes home after a long day full of beans. He has a delicious tea and tells me all about it, as well as all the amazing activities they do, including Forest Schools, French, Singing, PE, Make and Bake. He has just come home with a bag
full of treats for Easter - things he has made, as well as a couple of surprises for him. The staff really care about all the children, and they have always been helpful and welcoming every time I drop off or pick up. A wonderful place.

My son was at the nursery before starting Primary School and I can not recommend it more highly. It gave him a wonderful introduction to school life and took the worry away from us about starting school. The environment they provide for them to learn and play is fantastic and the amazing addition of
forest school and stave house. My son was incredibly happy and my daughter is starting soon, which she is very excited about. I would highly recommend South Lee Nursery to any parent in this area.

I was amazed at what a difference a good nursery could make to my daughter. She has been given the best possible start in a safe, caring and nurturing environment. She has enjoyed all sorts of fun activities both inside and outside which I could never replicate at home. Her confidence has blossomed
and she is prepared and excited about all future learning opportunities. She has grown alongside a fabulous group of friends who support her and excite her through her learning journey. This is all possible due to the inspirational staff.

South Lee Nursery has been the best decision for my children - they absolutely love their time there and are often talking about the amazing activities they get up to, especially Forest School. I could not recommend it more highly. Amazing staff, excellent facilities and flexible wrap around care.
If you are considering nurseries in the area you must go and look around.

I have been constantly amazed by the level of care, professionalism and passion that all the staff have. Both my children have had exceptional 1:1 support during their time at the nursery.
They love every day they are there, often asking to go in on their days off. Often talking about their teachers
and all the things they do at nursery, especially forest schools.
I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

South Lee Nursery is an excellent, very friendly nursery with outstanding staff and great facilities. Very clean, amazing attention to detail and in my opinion South Lee prepares children brilliantly for school whilst also letting them play and above all have fun.
Would thoroughly recommend. My child
loves it. Without a shadow of a doubt one of the best in the area.
They also have a fabulous dedicated Forest School area and run great parent and toddler sessions.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.067)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.067) out of 10 for South Lee 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 South Lee 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 3.067 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for South Lee 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.067

  • 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.
