With this being my first child, I didn't know what to expect from a nursery but the Cocoon team have gone above and beyond my expectations. I couldn't be happier with absolutely everything about the nursery and my son (13 months) has the best time. He's only been there 7 weeks but is clearly thriving.
The girls and the wider team are so kind and always want to please. I love being kept in constant communication with them throughout the day through the app and seeing my son having fun with his new friends is always the highlight of my day. So glad we found Lingfield College Nursery.

Our daughter moved to the nursery in September aged 18 months and we could not be happier with our decision. The staff are lovely, very caring and experienced which has aided a smooth transition. The variety of activities they provide is excellent and this allows for plenty of developmental opportunities,
we love how often she gets to go outside in a range of areas of the grounds. We receive regular updates on how she is through the week and how she is progressing against her targets. We are extremely pleased we made the move, thank you!

What a great place this is. My son moved to Lingfield College Nursery, from one at a similar school locally, 18 months ago and we have been delighted. The staff are absolutely wonderful, the setting is great, the activities are very varied, including regular forest school sessions, and the atmosphere
there is very professional. I have nothing but good things to say about it and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Both of my children started their educational journey in this nursery. They loved it from day 1. All members of the team have been absolutely fantastic, accommodating and very flexible with us being working parents.
My little one will be leaving in 2 weeks and I am sure both of them will keep sweet
memories from their nursery.

Very pleased with the experience of the Lingfield College baby room so far! The facilities are excellent and the staff are lovely. A great variety of daily activities, including lots of outdoor time, are offered. My daughter is definitely enjoying it and has come on a long way since joining.

My daughter joined Lingfield College Nursery just as she turned two, and she enjoyed every moment! She arrived as a wobbly two-year-old and left as a super confident and happy 4-year-old. The team are wonderful, very caring and fun. They started using the app for communication, and I loved getting the
great pictures and updates. The forest school was one of her favourite areas, as well as playing in the orchard during the summer months. Lingfield College Nursery offers great wrap-around care and they do a lovely parents' breakfast once a month, which allowed us to observe our daughter in her normal surroundings and we got to join in. Since my daughter arrived they have now opened a baby room so younger children can attend.

Lingfield Prep nursery has been fantastic for my son. He recently joined, having struggled in another setting. He now runs into nursery, talks about his peers and the activities he does and his development has come along leaps and bounds. The staff treat each child as an individual and care for their
individual needs and preferences. Seeing what they do on a daily basis, via the app, shows what a wide range of activities and learning opportunities my son is given and the chance for me to see him enjoying them. The children attend social mealtimes and forest school, pe lessons and art are favourite times for my son! All round, a fantastic nursery with caring, nurturing staff.

My older daughter attended Lingfield College Nursery previously, and we had such a good experience that we had no hesitation in sending our younger daughter too the moment she turned two. With both children, it has been an incredibly easy transition into the foundation stage - with them going into and
leaving nursery each day with a big smile and enthusiasm.
The renovations to the nursery and reception classrooms as well as the playgrounds over Summer 2022 have completely exceeded our expectations. I am so proud and happy for my children to have such fantastic facilities available to them and am so fond of the caring staff that help them develop into confident and independent little people.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Lingfield College 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.981 for Lingfield College Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.981

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lingfield College Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 9 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.
