Dicky Birds are amazing and my daughter is so happy there. The staff are very caring and have helped her to develop really well. They have handled the last year brilliantly, keeping us informed and making changes early.

My son has started attending Dicky Birds nursery when he was 2 years and 6 months and staff are very caring and do various indoor and outdoor educational activities. I was very happy to observe that my son has developed great confidence, excellent social skills and loves reading books and is started
recognising numbers as well.

We've sent both of our children to Dicky Birds and think it's a great nursery. The staff are fabulous, the setting and care is top-notch, great activities and the kids are always happy to go. We've recommended it to friends in the area.

We have loved Dicky Birds- my son will have been there for 2 years by the time he goes to school this September '21 and it's just been a joy!


Some specifics:


- The process was very well handled when we transitioned from his previous nursery and from the start we felt very lucky to have found

such a great setting for him.
- We initially had him in 3 days but they found space for 4 days when we requested this- and flexible to changing the 'off day'.
- I found the team to be very tactile and hands-on, keen to show love and understanding of the variant needs of the kids (confirmed by speaking to other parents).
- The handling of the pandemic has been exemplary, with lots of communication and support and guidance throughout - plus no forced fees when the kids couldn't attend!
- Small outside space but lots of outdoor excursions/ adventures.
- My son talks so highly of all his teachers and pals.


I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Dicky Birds Raynes Park!

A lovely friendly atmosphere, with helpful staff. Our child loves attending the nursery, making friends and undertaking numerous daily activities. The menu is very healthy. We especially like the feedback form that we receive every day to better understand what our son has been doing each day.

Most important to us is that our 2 & 1/2 year old absolutely loves going to nursery! He goes four days a week and has the best time! We sent his big brother there as well and he also had a fantastic time. The staff are brilliant, so caring and loving towards the children and there's a clear curriculum
that we are regularly kept up to date with. Even during the past 12 months, the staff have made sure that parents are kept informed on what's going on in the nursery.
Highly recommended and we will be sad when our little boy has to leave!

Our child has attended Dicky Birds for 2 years and has thrived in their care. The staff are friendly and caring, even more so over the last 12 months of the pandemic where we have been lucky enough for our child to feel safe every day at nursery. There is a great balance of fun and structured time,
where games incorporate reading and writing from a young age. I would highly recommend Dicky Birds to anyone who is considering it.

My youngest daughter is currently in the baby room at Raynes Park and we couldn’t be happier with the nursery. Everyone connected with the nursery is great - from the waiting list coordinators in head office down to the key workers within the nursery itself. The nursery has adapted well to Covid - moving
drop off and collection outside but you still get a chance to interact with staff and find out about your little one's day. I’d recommend Dicky Birds to all of my friends - but if you want to get in - put your name on the waiting list as soon as possible as it’s very busy!

A super nursery with genuinely caring staff and a stimulating environment for children. My son loves attending and the care and interest of the staff in all the children is evident every time you speak to them. My son's language and social interaction skills have developed brilliantly since attending.

I have found that the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and responsive to the needs of our two children. There is clearly structure to the day, with a good variety of activities to aid their development. The children clearly benefit from being there and seem to enjoy it.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.889) out of 10 for Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Raynes Park, Durham Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.089 for Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Raynes Park, Durham Road is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (35 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Poors x 2) + (14 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.089

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Raynes Park, Durham Road is based on 16 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.8

  • 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.
