Both of my children attended (one is still attending) this nursery and I couldn't be happier with their services. The moment I drop them off I know they are in good, kind, competent hands and I don't have to worry about them. The staff are so lovely and friendly and very helpful. Every time my daughter
comes home, she says she had a great day. Highly recommend them. Oh, and the chef cooks some tasty meals.

The nursery is amazing, the staff are always warm and welcoming, helping with advice and settling my two boys. They always keep me updated on any progress of things we have spoken about, my boys love the staff and they always come out happy and totally ready for a nap. Very helpful if I need to add
an extra day here or there always help me out when possible, would recommend this nursery to anyone. Amazing place for my boys to grow.

Spring Nursery has been looking after my three children since 2019. Always very supportive and kind to the children - my kids love going there and have built up close relationships with all the children. The manager is also very approachable and will always try to accommodate my requests.

An excellent and professional setting for our son; he loves to attend and has developed above expectations. Staff are always friendly and happy to help with anything and everything.
Our son has additional needs, and these have been catered for with regular assessments and updates on his progression.
Could not recommend enough.

Our youngest daughter went here to preschool.
She now attends “ holiday club “ when the school is on half terms etc.
Our daughter suffers from anxiety and gets really upset when it’s time to go to the holiday club.
My wife and I can’t fault the staff at the setting; they always go above and beyond
to ensure our daughter is looked after and happy.
On collecting each day, she has a smile on her face and a thousand stories to tell about her day!

Our little one has been in the nursery for over a year now, and she absolutely loves it. She still has little wobbles going in but will give the staff lovely cuddles and settles in minutes. They’ve been a great support and answered any questions or queries we’ve had. The manager is very friendly and
approachable, which is always great when nervous about a new nursery. My little one has created amazing bonds with all the staff.

We have used Springs breakfast and after-school club for the past few years. Both my children really enjoyed going, and my son still goes. They do lots of art activities, and I feel they are cared for deeply by all the staff involved. My son skips in every day and moans when I collect him early; he
really enjoys the food and snacks, learning from the chef about where the food has come from.
The staff are always concerned about the children's welfare and ensure they have sun cream and hats on always. The school drop-off and collection is a well-oiled machine, and the children are sent off with a smile and good wishes for the day and collected with the same attitude and care as to how their day has been.

The nursery is wonderful, the management is excellent, and our children are so well cared for. I love the fact that every child and every parent is treated as an individual. The kids also love it there. I’ve got a 7-year-old who has been going since we moved here, and her sister has been going since
she was a baby.
I think the real key though is how much I’ve seen the girls learn there.
It is educational, and fun is seamlessly woven together. Wonderful nursery!

Fantastic nursery and out-of-school club.
My son used to go to a childminder but we sensed he needed more and his verbal skills were lacking. From day one, he has been so happy here; he goes in with a smile and comes out with a smile, and his speech has come on in bounds. I’m so proud of how he’s doing,
and I couldn’t thank the staff anymore for helping him to thrive. He loves them all.
My daughter goes to the out-of-school club and holiday club and loves it; she asks me if she can go every day, even when she doesn’t need to.

Excellent, professional and safe. Both of my children, two years and four years, love it there and are always excited to go each morning. They always eat the food which is made onsite by a fantastic chef, that the children all know and love too. All staff demonstrate themselves as wonderful role models
to the children with top manners and professionalism, with buckets loads of humour and fun thrown in. Very approachable at all levels. I wholeheartedly recommend Spring Nursery Wittering.

The staff here are so lovely. My daughter started in August 21 and initially struggled to settle in (she was only 8 months old), but the staff were brilliant; they were patient and caring and communicated with us regularly. Now my daughter can’t wait to get ready in the mornings and go to nursery.
She
practically runs in to see the staff and her friends! She has an absolutely wonderful day there every day, lots of learning through play; she’s singing all the time and loves all the creative play. She is flourishing, and I couldn’t be happier seeing how she is developing so well, thanks to the wonderful team that works with her.

My daughter has been in the baby room, the 2-3 room and is going up to the next room in September. So I have had dealings with most of the rooms and all of the staff, past and present. The baby room staff were nothing short of phenomenal, it’s tough putting your baby into nursery full time and returning
to work, but the taster sessions prior and the confidence I got from the ability of the staff was incredible. She took to nursery instantly thanks to them all. When she had to move rooms to 2-3 I was apprehensive to move her from the staff in the baby room but the ladies in there were also amazing. They are tentative, honest and clearly enjoy their employment. She learns so much from their all-round activities. The food always smells excellent and the chef is very friendly. As for the management. Nothing short of amazing. They make the whole place feel like a family run business, they are so approachable and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend this nursery or it’s management and staff enough.

I would definitely recommend this nursery. All the staff are very friendly and caring who got to know both of my children quickly. When the time came for them to move to the next room they transitioned smoothly which I think demonstrates how safe and happy they feel when there. Both enjoy the wide
range of activities offered and have developed many skills. My eldest particularly enjoys the forest school sessions and talks about them regularly.
The environment is very welcoming with lots of current children’s work and photographs on display. I particularly like the thoughtful cards and craft items produced by my children who are really proud to bring them home.
The app is a fantastic resource and I really like being able to check naps, nappy changes and food eaten. I love the photographs and observations on what each child has been busy working on. My children also enjoy looking at these and telling me about what they were doing.
Overall a very caring and hard-working team!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.183)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.183) out of 10 for Spring Nursery RAF Wittering 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.979 for Spring Nursery RAF Wittering is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 4.204 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spring Nursery RAF Wittering is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.404

  • 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.
