My Son has been attending this nursery for just over a year and has settled in very well. My daughter had previously attended this setting for 3 years. We are very happy with how the staff treat the children and the care and attention given to their day to ensure they have fun! My son comes home very
happy and content. The additional activities which are provided are excellent.

My two children have been attending the nursery for a year.
The staff really are fantastic and it's a stable team.
My son struggles to settle when he first arrives and they've gone out of their way to help him settle and try different tactics. I also like that my children get to spend some time
together during the day. There is a baby room and a bigger kids' room but they mix where appropriate.
The children get to do different activities like dancing, gymnastics and forests walks. There's also a public park as it's based in a village hall so the children get to go there too which is always a win.
It's a lovely little nursery.

My daughter has been attending Apple Daycare for the last few months, she has already come such a long way with her development due to the very caring staff they have. I always receive great communication from the manager about her day at handover and feel that my daughter is in very good care throughout
the day. I would highly recommend this setting.

Our little boy has been going to Apple Daycare in Lemsford Village Hall since August 2021. We loved the setting straight away, and from the start, the team have been incredibly supportive of our son's development and needs. We have really appreciated that all the ages are together and think this has
helped so much with his social development. We like that there are themes to the week, and lots of different activities run by the staff and external providers, especially that they are always going outside in the fresh air. We are kept up to date with his progress and the staff are all lovely.

Both my children have been to Apple Daycare - in different settings. We have always agreed with the ethos of all the children being together of all ages. The younger children learn from the older children and the older children learn how to be kind and inclusive of the younger children. The days are
very full with activities provided by outside providers, and time taken to go out for walks and connect with nature. My oldest children made the transition to reception without a problem and I think that was down to the social skills he learned whilst at Apple.

My son has been attending Apple Daycare since the beginning of January and they have been fantastic. Not only is the care outstanding, the activities and daily routine are brilliant and have really helped my son’s development. The daily updates they send through give me comfort that my son is in the
best care and is happy and having fun.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.569)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.569) out of 10 for Apple Daycare Welwyn Garden City 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.944 for Apple Daycare Welwyn Garden City is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Apple Daycare Welwyn Garden City is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.375

  • 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.
