Our daughter started in September and has settled in brilliantly. The staff are genuinely caring and have made such an effort to get to know her. The nursery benefits from the school’s outstanding facilities but remains small and nurturing. I know that our daughter is happy, safe, and is benefitting
from a huge range of activities including cooking, forest school, and plenty of outdoor play.

My son has been attending the nursery for over a year now and I can honestly say I couldn’t have chosen a better place for him. It’s all because of the amazing staff they have at the nursery, they are so good and nurturing with the children and work very hard in children’s development. My son loves
attending King's St Alban's and looks forward to his sessions. The range of activities from art and cooking to forest school allows the child to explore different skills and help nurture their imagination.

My daughter spent 18 months in King's St Alban's before we had to move. It was an excellent experience and we really wished we didn't have to move. The nursery is exceptional in the care they give and are excellent educators to the little ones. They know them so well and the kids are so comfortable.
My daughter improved in her milestones so wonderfully due to their incredible care and guidance. I will totally recommend them 100%.

My daughter has settled in exceptionally well, she’s eager to go into preschool. Communication has been amazing and the staff are always so friendly, activities have been fun and engaging and they have a lovely outdoor area. My daughter has some complex health issues that the staff have been fantastic
with, which I think is worth mentioning as from application to first day, staff really went above and beyond to ensure she has the best experience at King's St Alban's Nursery. We feel confident that she is well taken care of and having the best time, would highly recommend.

King’s St Albans is a gem of a nursery. The staff are wonderful and there is a real community feel with the wider school. It’s clear that the nursery staff have a real passion for early years and nurture the individual child.
Activities are varied and wide-ranging. There have been several days I wished
I could stop and play!
My daughter has enjoyed attending since her first day and she still looks forward to 'school' with great enthusiasm nearly 2 years on.
It’s also worth mentioning the considerable care and planning taken by the nursery throughout the Covid pandemic. I’ve felt very reassured that my little one is looked after as best possible.

Trained and experienced staff and responsive to my son's individual needs, cultural sensitivity and very responsive to my child’s home life. The nursery is very welcoming and friendly with outside play space and planned daily activities. Without a doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic created lots of uncertainty
for everyone. However, the nursery has measures in place to ensure my child's safety and my child is very happy.

We couldn’t be happier with the nursery at King’s St Albans. Our eldest daughter was in the nursery last year and she loved every minute of her time there. She is now in Reception at the school and the nursery was the perfect preparation for starting school. Our younger daughter now attends the nursery
and she is very happy and settled there. The staff are kind and caring and the nursery manager is absolutely wonderful. The group sizes are small which allows every child to be treated as an individual and the staff know them all so well. In such uncertain times it is extremely reassuring to know that our daughter is so happy and so well-looked after in the nursery.

We couldn't ask for more from a nursery. It is such a happy place, and our 2-year-old son skips in through the door every morning. He comes home happy and full of stories from his fun-filled day with friends. The staff were extremely welcoming when both our boys started in June, and they settled in
very quickly. The staff really take time to get to know each child and maintain really strong links and channels of communication with parents. After a wonderful few months in the nursery, our older son has now moved up to reception, but we are looking forward to our younger son's next two years in the nursery.

The King's St Alban's Nursery team have been very welcoming and made us feel at ease right from the start. The manager, is very friendly, approachable and always ready to help. They offer a range of activities through the day ensuring they incorporate fun with learning. This is evident from the learning
log that comes home once in a while. My son has been very happy and has settled in quickly since starting in Sept 2019. He looks forward to going to nursery each morning and clearly enjoys his time there. His key worker and all other staff are great with all him and his friends. His confidence in many areas is growing and this is testament to the fact that the nursery environment is right for him. Would certainly recommend the nursery to anyone!].

My daughter settled immediately due to the friendly nature of all the staff and the fun and inviting setting. She attended the toddler group on a Tuesday in preparation for attending and thoroughly loved it. Very personalized and accommodating care. Varied stimulating activities including PE, Music,
French and Forest school just to name a few. Easy communication with all staff and excellent hours for early drop off and a late pick up. Great value for money.

King's St Albans Nursery has been an incredible addition to our family. Our 3-year-old loves going, he rarely wants to come home and often asks to go on his day off. All the staff that work at the nursery are superb, the nursery is home from home for our little boy. They are attentive, loving and incredibly
supportive to the children and their families.

King's St Alban's Nursery is a vibrant and happy nursery. Our child settled quickly and thoroughly enjoys attending. There are so many varied activities throughout the week including french sessions, forestry school and music and dance. Being located within Kings St Albans school provides access to
excellent facilities and also the ability to join in with wider school activities such as watching performances. King's St Alban's Nursery staff are caring, attentive and enthusiastic. They go above and beyond to make each day engaging and full of fun. I would highly recommend King's St Albans Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for King's St Alban's Nursery 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.922 for King's St Alban's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (345 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.922

  • 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 King's St Alban's Nursery is based on 31 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 31 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.
