Our experience with Perfect Start has been amazing from day one. All the staff made both myself and my partner very comfortable with leaving our son at nursery for the first time. Handovers are always very thorough. All the staff look after our son very well, and it's very obvious to see that he enjoys
his day at nursery!

My son thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery. The atmosphere is friendly, lovely, professional, organised and fun! We're extremely impressed with the level of care and structure put in place for each individual child. Since joining the nursery my son has developed in so many ways, he has become more confident
and independent. All the teachers are great!

Perfect Starts' reputation preceded them with the Haywards Heath nursery and was delighted to hear they were opening the Sevenoaks nursery. The location has been built to suit the children's health, safety, learning and fun factor in mind and is always clean and secure. The staff are friendly and it
has ample parking with great gardens fitted with astroturf for year-round fun. The small but welcoming team instantly put our mind at rest with their attentive nature and a warm welcome for our son, we witnessed our son feel very settled on the very first visit. He relaxed enough to let us leave the room within ten mins of arrival, this had never happened in his previous nursery of seven months. After the first week, our son’s progression, sleeping habits, health, wellbeing and mood in general on pickup instantly improved, enforcing the decision to place our son as 100% the right thing to do for him. With the current team from September 2019 to today, we believe we really have given him the Perfect Start.

I am so glad we moved our child to Perfect Start Day Nurseries - Sevenoaks. They’ve settled very well. The staff are cheerful, engaged and welcoming. The rooms are bright, safe, clean, well-stocked and encourage independence. The gardens are fun and safe - with a pleasant separate area for each age
group so they don’t need to time-share. The staff organise a lovely range of activities and have a nice routine. My toddler has been teaching me the songs they’ve been learning.
Little details make the parent experience much better too - parking, a pram park, a toilet, coat pegs in the room and so on.
Communication is great and I am very glad to get updates about my child - verbally each day, phone calls if needed, in an app each week and even a parents evening. I feel better connected to what my child is doing and how they’re getting on.
I really appreciate and value the care my child is getting! Thank you.

What a breath of fresh air! We knew from the moment we stepped through the door that this was an exceptional nursery. The manager is an excellent leader and her communication is second to none. She has hired a very competent team and runs a tight ship. We were super nervous about moving our sons but
they settled very quickly and for the first time are no longer clingy at drop off (after being clingy at the old nursery since they joined 2 years ago). My youngest has had some health challenges and the team have been amazing and gone above and beyond expectation to ensure he receives the right level of care. My eldest skips to preschool and doesn’t look back. The facilities are excellent and the learning plans and handovers are thorough.

We have been very impressed with the nursery and staff who look after our daughter. They are supporting her growth and she is learning new skills every week. We highly recommend the nursery - it's clean, bright and with lovely garden areas. They spend lots of time outside which she loves. The staff
genuinely care for the children and it is such a happy environment.
There are a wide range of activities, including cooking/baking, and our daughter loves being so busy.
There is a good focus on development but in a supportive way. The staff are not pushy and let everyone develop them in their own time.
An excellent nursery - it was the best decision we ever made in moving her there in October.

My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery at Perfect Start. Since he joined, his vocabulary has come on so much, and he is learning new skills every day.
I am so happy we moved him to this nursery, its definietly going to give him the start he needs for school.
The staff are all very friendly
and knowledgeable, and he loves them all and settled straight away.
I would recommend this nursery wholeheartedly.

We moved our two young children to this nursery when it opened from another local nursery, as we were so impressed by the facilities and the ethos of the nursery.
The room provision is excellent in terms of having young and old baby rooms, as well as a toddler and preschool rooms.
All the rooms
have an inviting environment, they are very light and spacious, with separate gardens for the different age groups.
The staff are always very engaging and caring, both our children have settled very easily and love going to nursery.

My daughter moved across from another nursery in the area and the difference in her has been amazing.
She loves being able to go in the garden whenever suites her, and for however long she likes. Activities are provided constantly, and she often comes home with artwork or cooking.
Her education
and extension of learning has been a huge change as we can see what she is working on every week and get to have a say about her planning. The nursery feels very homely, and she is always very excited on a nursery day! She has a great bond with her key person, and all the staff throughout seem to know her really well.

Excellent setting with a good range of rooms according to age range. All rooms had adequate space for children to play and interact with staff. The separate gardens were an additional added quality as children were able to play within their age range. Staff were very engaging with parents and delivered
quality feedback on child's learning on every occasion.

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.
