My daughter started in October 2022, after a long year of many transitions (immigration) she was very unsettled, spending most sessions in a hysterical state of tears. The staff were extremely caring in notifying me about her behaviour and trying to implement various strategies to ensure her happiness.
The confinement of space was definitely a challenge for her and since moving to a bigger teaching/learning space, she has been so much more settled. With an educational background myself and a degree in early childhood development, I would highly suggest schools in the UK should consider the confinement of space, that so many nurseries are subject to educate little minds in. Not only a smaller breeding ground for germs, but the UK weather and working hours of many parents, leave these children “caged” for hours on end. Kinesthetic learning at these ages is paramount, but with such confinement, how much exploring is able to take place at its fullest potential?

I could not be happier with my daughter's nursery. She goes in every day with a big smile and open arms. The staff are all excellent - always warm, caring and responsive. I am pleased with the attention paid to her development and she has come on leaps and bounds with their support and guidance (both
in terms of her skill development and her confidence). The facilities are excellent, with a clean environment and lots of opportunity for stimulating play both inside and outdoors.

We have been very happy with Perfect Start Day Nursery Sevenoaks since our child started earlier this year. The staff is caring, hard-working and organise so many activities every day to keep the children busy learning new things. We highly recommend it to other parents who are thinking of which nursery
to send their children to. It's very modern and it has nice play areas for both younger and older children. The location was a big plus for us too.

We are extremely happy with Perfect Start Nursery in Sevenoaks our toddler has been going there for over a year starting when she was 15 months. The staff are caring and attentive and both staff and management are very communicative and supportive. We feel in very safe hands, the facilities and outside
space are lovely and the range of activities is brilliant. The food is of a high standard and the main meals are made by a chef on site which is very reassuring. Our toddler loves it there and she has learnt a lot.

His key worker has gone above and beyond to make myself and my son feel welcomed into the nursery! The chef cooks the most amazing variety of nutritious
food and my son's tummy is always full! The education and care that is provided daily for my son are fantastic and he is always coming home with reaching a new milestone! Couldn’t recommend a better nursery in Sevenoaks, thank you!

My son has been at Perfect Start Sevenoaks since month 9, full time since age 1 and has been through the younger baby room to pre-school. Can't ask for more from any nursery. The staff really know my son and are always working to develop him and ensure that he has a happy time. They are also flexible
to our needs. Communication is good - whether through emails, newsletters, parent app, daily handovers (to the parent or to nanny), appropriate ad hoc phone calls. We are so grateful to have Perfect Start.

My little one has been at Perfect Start since it opened in Sevenoaks back Sept 2019 - in that time, my little one has transitioned between all the rooms. Perfect Start did a great job at settling my little one in and all his key carers have been brilliant - I couldn’t ask for more. You can see that
a lot of thought and effort goes into making the early learning curriculum fun for the children and they ensure that the children have the opportunity to be outside as much as possible. The menu the child eats is made from scratch on-site every day and has a great variety, 3-week rota (hats off to the chef!)


Another aspect that clinched it for Perfect Start was the modern facility - practically purpose-built, with all the mod cons eg air-con, CCTV for settling in, iPads tables (educational use). Ultimately you know you’ve made a good choice when your little one comes home full of excitement from the day they have had and desperate to tell you about - and looks forward to going again the next day. Definitely helps mellow that mum guilt.

We love Perfect Start Day Nursery!
I couldn’t fault it at all - the staff are so nurturing, the activities amazing, and it’s in a great location with easy drop-off.
My son took a little while to settle in due to Covid, but they were really patient and came up with good ideas and adapted themselves
to settle him in with ease; he’s been happy ever since.

Our two kids have been through all rooms in the nursery since it opened and we’ve been really impressed with the standard of facilities and care of the staff. Compared to our previous nursery, Perfect Start Day Nursery seems to be able to retain permanent staff slightly better meaning greater continuity
of care and building relationships. They do a variety of activities, deeply care about the welfare of the children, and keep them thoroughly engaged throughout the day - keep up the good work!

My niece has been attending this nursery since May and has settled in so well in the
preschool room. We were a little worried about her transition into the nursery as she hadn't had much experience around other children but the staff and her key person went out of their way to make her transition
as smooth as possible. She now runs in excited for her day and is sad to leave in the evening.


I am very impressed with the high quality of activities and the knowledge she comes home with. The food she is offered at mealtimes are very nutritious and healthy and is offered various snacks throughout the day. Overall, I am beyond happy with the care she is given and the communication we all get at the end of the day when I pick her up. Lovely nursery with lovely rooms and staff. 100% would recommend.

I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my two children. They both began when Perfect Start first opened at the end of 2019, with one going on to school and the other still attending. The staff have always been kind and caring, attentive to my boys - and us parents too. The premises are fresh, clean
and inviting, and the toys and activities are creative, fun and engaging. My youngest particularly loves being outside and gets to spend lots of time out in the garden as he chooses which I think is fantastic. I can’t recommend Perfect Start Sevenoaks highly enough!

Perfect Start have been nothing but outstanding in the care they have provided my son. My son is in the preschool room now but started two years ago in the baby room so we have experienced all the rooms and have nothing but praise for all the staff. Our son’s care and development at Perfect Start has
gone above and beyond anything we could have expected. From the beautiful nurturing environment to the fabulous garden and the great food prepared freshly on-site, you can’t ask for more from a nursery.

I can't recommend Perfect Start Day Nurseries in Sevenoaks enough - the team has created a wonderful, nurturing environment and it is clear that the staff really care for all the kids. Any issues are discussed quickly and staff provide support to resolve them in nursery and at home. Access to feedback
via the app is fantastic and the regular progress reports /photos are lovely to see.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.867)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for Perfect Start Day Nursery - Sevenoaks 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.867 for Perfect Start Day Nursery - Sevenoaks is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.867

  • 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 Perfect Start Day Nursery - Sevenoaks is based on 21 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 21 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.
