My Granddaughter has been going to this nursery for a number of months now - she loves it - always happy to go in! The staff are very receptive and always let me know about her day, which always seems very busy with lots of messy play which she loves.

This nursery is a fantastic place for my daughter's development. She has improved her social, communication and physical skills since she is there. The staff are wonderful, very kind, caring, responsible and always with a nice smile.
My little one always feels so happy to go to the nursery to play
with her peers and teachers and I feel very relaxed and confident when she is there. She has food allergies and she has never had any problem at nursery, they always make sure she is having the correct meal. Love the fact they show you how her development is progressing.
The nursery is always clean, and have many toys for children to play and learn. Indeed, I am so happy with the feedback I always receive from nursery staff about how was my child that day.

My little boy has been going to the nursery for over a year and he loves going nursery. He is learning so much. They are always served a balanced diet of meals. The staff are very friendly, informative and very helpful. I wouldn’t take my child to any other nursery. They made being a full time working
mum very easy.

I couldn't think of a better nursery to put my daughter into. She moved from a previous nursery in September 2018. The staff and owner at this nursery are supportive of me as I am a single working parent. They are there to talk to you about my daughter and personal life. They are not there for the money
and are there to care for the children the best that they can. They have been amazing, and help me out any way that they can. My child is so happy to go. They do a lot of things which are fun and educational. When I first visited the nursery I saw the staff playing and joining in with the children. They had a strong relationship with them all. They are all so welcoming and happy when I drop my daughter off in the morning. I would recommend the nursery to my friends or anyone that asks. My daughter will be totally ready for when she starts school and this nursery has been there to help her out in this process.

We are very impressed that the owner is so involved in the day-to-day running of the nursery. As first-time parents, we were naturally anxious but there were actual obstacles that we were concerned about - his eczema, breastfeeding (we wanted to wean him gradually) and his fussiness when taking a nap!
The owner and her team took the time to listen and used their initiatives to overcome all these issues! We were so relieved that our little man settled in so happily! We would not hesitate to recommend any parent, especially anxious ones, to choose this nursery for their little ones!

Excellent nursery. My son is three and a half and loves the nursery. Very good development. He's come on so much in a short space of time. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Our daughter joined the nursery just after her 2nd birthday and she attends for a couple of mornings a week. She loves the staff and can’t wait to go every week. We as parents are very happy with the facilities the nursery offer and the staff are first class and provide good care and learning.

I'm so happy we chose this nursery. Our 1-year-old daughter has a great time, she naps, eats well, and plays with a good variety of toys. The staff are great and I have no doubts or concerns about leaving my little one at all!

Current Review Score: 7.1 (7.097)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.1 (7.097) out of 10 for Owl & Bear - Walderslade Daycare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 3.833 for Owl & Bear - Walderslade Daycare is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 3.833

  • 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 3.264 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Owl & Bear - Walderslade Daycare is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.139

  • 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.
