Lovely nursery. Well-managed and brilliant nurturing and fun staff. My son's been there for a good few years and he's had a fantastic experience. He's now school-ready but will miss everyone a lot! Thank you!

Both of my children have really enjoyed attending Perfect Start, Farnham. The staff are very friendly, kind and have a very warm nature with the children. Availability to increase days is limited which is frustrating but the same issue that all nurseries are facing at the moment.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has been at the nursery over two years now. I can’t recommend Perfect Start enough and I could honestly ramble on so much about why. So I’ve tried to summarise some key points:
My son is my third and last child as such I’m particularly protective and on occasions can come across such. I’m fully
aware this is not okay. However when I do I’m met with ten most understanding, reassuring people and responses and feel completely validated constantly.
When I address any concerns to anyone at Perfect Start about my son’s development, I’ve never once not felt validated. They listen to me, offer support, offer reassurance and most importantly in a hugely busy setting give me their time.
My son thrives at Perfect Start. My son has a few health obstacles and I’m honestly amazed on a weekly if not daily basis what he learns, whether it’s more speech, writing, letter and number understanding. It melts my heart and blows my mind. I’d have written more if I could.
Thankyou.

My nephew attends this nursery four days a week and I do a few of the drop-offs and pick-ups in the week. I know his parents are super happy with the nursery and all that they do. My experience with the nursery and team so far has been very warm and welcoming. I love that they give me an information
sheet about my nephew's day to give to his mum and dad when I take him home. My nephew is always so happy when I drop him off and he adores all the staff there which is all any parent can ask for!

Overall we rate Perfect Start quite highly. Our child seems happy and has been progressing and hitting all milestones. Staff are cordial and nice when reporting back the day.
The only slightly disappointing point is the overall lack of flexibility in accommodating extra sessions. I have also requested
to increase my child from 2 and half days to 3 days which was denied. I understand staff availability and overall capacity, but also there should be a little bit of an understanding that circumstances may change for parents from when they sign up a baby through the duration of the 4 years in nursery.

My son began his settling-in sessions before Christmas 2023 and the nursery staff made the transition to nursery life seamless! My son has recently begun weaning and the chef and staff have supported me and my son as we’ve introduced foods and he has been provided lovely puréed meals at nursery. Even
though he is a non-mobile baby, the staff makes sure he gets to spend time in the garden with his friends every day. We are a bilingual family and the nursery have made an effort to learn keywords and phrases that we would use at home. The nursery even recently invited us and other parents of bilingual families into the nursery to teach the staff and children some nursery rhymes in a different language!

Fantastic nursery, with lovely staff who show their passion, love and care for all children.
My grandson is always smiling at nursery and settled into his classroom with ease this year.
Even though I am a grandmother, the staff team give me full handovers about my grandson's day and always welcome
me with a smile. My daughter shows me photos that the nursery have shared via an app and my grandson is always joining in with the lovely activities even though he is currently 5 months old.
The garden is great and safe with astroturf grass and I like that the nursery provide the essentials such as nappies and wipes.

We are so pleased that we chose Perfect Start for our son. All of the staff are so invested in the children, it gives a sense of a home from home for the babies/children. The communication is great and they are accommodating to each child’s individual needs.
The activities the children take part in
throughout the day have great variety and there is something different to do every day.

My eldest child has been at Perfect Start Day Nursery - Farnham since he was two and a half and my youngest started four months ago. We are extremely happy with the outstanding care both of our children are receiving. My eldest son loves being in the preschool room and has built strong bonds with both
the staff and other children. The staff have helped him improve his verbal skills and learn to express himself more clearly, as well as helping to prepare him for school. My youngest child is in the babies room, the staff take great care and attention in making sure they are stimulated with age-appropriate activities and have been really flexible and supportive of our wishes and sleep schedules. The nursery makes the parents feel very involved with parents' evenings and even providing breakfasts on the go for busy parents doing the drop-off.

I am so happy with the nursery. The staff are genuinely caring and considerate, they are always thinking of creative ways to encourage learning and development. My child has loved the messy play, learning to paint as one example. When my child has been sad they are quick to offer comfort. The chef
creates wonderful food. The staff provide great updates and are in regular contact with me. I love how the managers also engage with the children. I feel very grateful to have found a place where my child is so happy and well cared for.

Both my children have attended Perfect Start Day Nursery - Farnham since Nov 2021. My oldest is now in Reception at school and the transition for him was a lot easier because Perfect Start's pre school programme is excellent. My younger one has now transitioned to Preschool and looks forward to going
to nursery every day. The staff are all excellent and genuinely interested in the children's wellbeing. I recommend Perfect Start to anyone who is looking for childcare.

Both of my children have been cared for by Perfect Start on a full-time basis and it is a testament to the nursery here that my eldest (who has now started school) loves to come and pick up his younger brother just so he can come and say hi to the staff and give them a big hug. As parents, we couldn't
be happier with the way our children have been cared for and would highly recommend this nursery to others as a nurturing space that really caters to your individual child's needs.

Such a lovely nursery. My son was in the pre-school, which he absolutely loved when he was there, and my daughter is currently in the toddler room which is fantastic.
The staff are all so lovely and very loving towards the children. The rooms are great and their days are full of fun activities.
The
garden is very sweet too with lots of fun things for the children to do.
It is a fabulous location for any commuter parents as it's right by the station.
Highly recommend!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

We've been very happy with Perfect Start, they've been amazing with our son and he loves it there. They've helped him with his speech with nursery workers spending one on one time with him to help him improve which we've really appreciated. Every day they create fun activities for all the children and
our son comes home counting and singing the alphabet which he definitely learnt from Perfect Start!
The reason I have rated only 4 stars is because I was quite disappointed that I couldn't get a place for my new baby. When he was born I was told the earliest availability was in 2 years' time. I'm not sure if the reason that there's a long waitlist for such young babies is because people are booking places while they're pregnant or there are very few spots, but I had hoped that we'd be given preference since we already had a child at the nursery who had been there from the start. I was saddened that our little one couldn't have the same nursery experience as his older brother.

Our daughter (now 22 months) has been going since she was 18 months - we have had a good experience so far. Really pleased with the staff and their care and attention. It took a little while to settle in, but our daughter seems to enjoy going there and does lots of activities and plays outside. I think
the space itself is nice and bright, and the outside space is good for playing. The food is good and I think overall it is well run. I wish it had free flow inside/outside and a bigger outdoor area, but just not possible with the location. Overall I think they do a great job.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.361)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.361) out of 10 for Perfect Start Day Nursery - Farnham 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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 4.898 for Perfect Start Day Nursery - Farnham is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 4.463 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Perfect Start Day Nursery - Farnham 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.563

  • 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.
