It's a lovely nursery. When my daughter started nursery, she did not speak a word of English, but now she is so good in English. The teachers are so good and they are very flexible. My daughter was potty trained and all good only with the help of the nursery. I truly recommend it.

Both my daughter (up until last year when she started Reception) and now my son attend Rowlands Avenue Pre-School, it has been a real joy getting to know the team and also feel safe in the knowledge that my children are being well looked after by competent and loving staff.
They have a wonderful space,
with plenty of activities to fill their morning/ afternoons. My son particularly loves the garden area in the summer months and playing outside. My son runs into nursery every day, so excited to see his key worker and friends. It's a lovely environment with people I trust and admire and more importantly who my children have respect for.

Over the last 4 years, I have had two of my children attend this preschool, and in both experiences, I am extremely pleased and happy to send my children there. The staff are all friendly and very caring towards all the children. They always open up the door in the morning with a warm smile and the
same at the end of the day. My children took a few weeks to settle in when they started but once they had settled down my children were always very happy to leave me in the morning with a great big smile and they came back out with a great big smile. I feel very happy with the care my children have received, they feel happy and content to be there. The preschool is very good at keeping us well informed with newsletters, texts and face-to-face at what is happening in there. The preschool is clean, and the activities are always changing, adapting and interesting for your child to learn, develop, and grow.

As a mother of two kids, I would recommend this as the best (and a very nice, friendly) nursery or preschool around our community/area. I would recommend this nursery for new parents and their kids. Both my kids love this nursery and the teachers are friendly and great. Thank you so much.

Rowlands Avenue Pre-School is very good at looking after kids and developing kids' activities. My child developed so much in learning, emotionally, and socially. Food, kids learn to eat certain vegetables and fruit. Very good at deciding on different activities. The staff are very good and they are
always happy to help if there is any concern. My child is looked after by staff very well. I am sincerely happy. Thanks for all your support through my child's pre school.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Rowlands Avenue Pre-School 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.954 for Rowlands Avenue Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 173 Ratings = 4.954

  • 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 Rowlands Avenue Pre-School is based on 15 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
