The staff are lovely and listen to you when you have a concern. My daughter really enjoys going, she seems to be coming on a lot! The staff can enjoy a laugh with me cos my little one loves water and often needs a change which is a running joke with myself and some of the staff. She has snacks and seems
to enjoy them. She is always full when she comes out at 12. I enjoy the little updates of what she has done and I enjoy the pictures that get uploaded as well.

My youngest son is being looked at for autism & nursery was made aware before he started. Well they've gone above & beyond from letting him chose his own key worker (who he stuck with the most & would go to) & encouraging him to engage in play at the best of his abilities. Love this nursery for being
open minded & putting the childs needs first & also my eldest also went here & it was and always will be my first choice.

Beal Vale Pre-School has been absolutely amazing for my child! From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. The staff are warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child's development. They take the time to get to know the children and create a safe, nurturing environment
where they can learn and grow.
The activities are creative and engaging, helping to build confidence, independence, and social skills. My child comes home excited to share what they've learned, whether it's a new song, a fun craft, or a story they enjoyed. The outdoor space is fantastic too, giving them plenty of opportunities to play and explore.
Communication with parents is excellent-they keep us updated on progress, daily activities, and any concerns. I've always felt reassured that my child is in good hands.
I can't recommend Beal Vale Pre-School enough! If you're looking for a caring, well-structured, and fun environment for your little one, this is the place to be.

I was looking for a nursery for my 2-year-old daughter and came for an induction in early September. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was the perfect setting for her. The atmosphere and staff were very welcoming and friendly. We got all the paperwork sorted and my daughter was able to start the
following week. I was a bit worried thinking she would not like it or have issues doing all day. But my daughter absolutely loves it. She is always eager to go to nursery and comes out with a big smile on her face, which is reassuring. Would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for Beal Vale Pre-School 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.946 for Beal Vale Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (301 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 316 Ratings = 4.946

  • 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 Beal Vale Pre-School is based on 27 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
