The care and attention given to my son is top-notch. The teachers are very friendly and always provide feedback on my son’s performance. The school has a welcoming atmosphere and has helped my son to settle in quickly. My son has improved in his speech and communication. He gets adequate support from
staff at all times.

Fantastic pre-school, 3-year-old is there now, but my 9 and 14-year-old also went here and it has remained consistently great throughout. Lovely staff, accommodating and the kids always seem very happy and content with a range of activities going on. Would happily recommend to anyone.

We're delighted with our experience at St John's Nursery! The caring and attentive staff create a nurturing environment where our daughter is not only safe but also thriving. The facility is well-maintained, providing a stimulating atmosphere with age-appropriate activities that encourage her development.
The communication with teachers is seamless, and we appreciate the regular updates on her daily adventures. The sense of community is strong, making us feel confident and involved in our child's early learning journey. St John's Nursery isn't just a daycare; it's a place where our daughter is happy, engaged, and building essential skills. We highly recommend it to parents seeking a loving and supportive environment for their little ones.

Both of my children have been to St John’s and loved it, they have so much fun and the staff are really caring and build strong bonds with the children. They always make the effort to do exciting things with the children like bee-fit, visits from fire engines, sports days, trips out, plus the normal
day to day cooking, singing, crafting etc. It has a real old school, family vibe that we love and has nurtured our boys to become more confident and get them ready for school. I’d recommend St John's to anyone looking for a loving, caring, fun environment for their children.

The whole team at St John's are fantastic! Both of my children have been so happy at St John's and I am so pleased we chose to send the children there. Everyone puts in so much effort each and every day with all the activities they do and you can see the children are all so happy. You also can see the
lovely bonds between the staff and children. My daughter especially has grown in confidence since the start of this academic year and she loves coming to preschool every day. I love that she always has something lovely to show me at the end of the day and she enjoys telling me about all the fantastic things she has done during the day.

I am so happy I decided to send my little one here. She has been attending St John's Preschool for a few months now and is loving it. She looks forward to going and has made good friends and loves all the staff. She has come on leaps and bounds since being there.

Choosing the right nursery school for our little one was a crucial decision, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to enrol our child at St John's. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was evident that this school prioritizes creating a warm and welcoming environment for both children
and parents. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. They create an atmosphere that fosters curiosity and a love for learning, laying the foundation for a positive attitude towards future education. You guys rock!

The team at St John’s has had an incredible impact on our son’s life. Their ability to teach, love, encourage and engage all the children is truly a gift. The amount our son has been able to develop and learn while being at St John’s will follow him through his next school years, and indeed his life.
From a parent’s perspective, the management of the preschool is fantastic. Their communication with parents is clear and consistent. They provide regular updates, including a monthly newsletter, sharing important information and insights to what the children have been up to. These updates bring us so much peace and happiness. Any concerns or queries we’ve ever had have been addressed promptly. From a practical point of view, the environment at St John’s is always clean and our son has yet to bring home any viruses! And there is always parking around drop off and pick up times. Overall we can’t express how amazing this small, intimate and loving preschool is.

My daughter is in this pre-school since last spring. She had settled very quickly and absolutely enjoying the place. The ladies are patient, resourceful and caring. They had some activities every month and invite everyone to join them. Every time I pick her up I can see that she is clearly having a
wonderful time and being very well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for St John's Preschool Worthing 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.913 for St John's Preschool Worthing is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 150 Ratings = 4.913

  • 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 St John's Preschool Worthing is based on 13 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, which has been reached with 13 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.
