We send our son to Godstone Farm Day Nursery and he absolutely loves it! We couldn’t be happier with our experience there. He has been there since just after it opened and was originally in the Baby Room, having recently moved to the Toddler Room. As soon as he started there he seemed to feel right
at home and is always so happy to go there in the morning and beaming whenever we collect him. He has also developed a lot in the time he has been there and we feel the staff really take time to concentrate on developing the children in the best way possible. All the staff we have dealt with are lovely, friendly and professional. The rooms are amazing, especially the outdoor areas with so much for the children to do. They visit the farm most days (sometimes twice a day!) and our son loves seeing the animals and talks about his visits a lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to others and are so pleased that we moved our son there.

My 10-month-old daughter has just started in the baby room at the nursery and the team have been amazing. My child suffers from multiple allergies and skin problems and they have gone out of their way to accommodate her needs and make me feel reassured and at ease. From day one the team have been friendly,
approachable and always make you feel welcome. The manager makes a point of speaking to all the parents and getting to know them and their children. Every day the activities provided are exciting and new and I love that their ethos encourages natural and outdoor play, the fact they get a farm visit every day is just brilliant. I cannot thank the team enough for making my daughter so welcome and providing such amazing care. I highly recommend Godstone Farm Day Nursery and Pre-school and could not imagine choosing any other child care setting for my family.

My 3-year-old daughter joined this nursery last September. She'd had some big changes in her life the few months previous so I was concerned about how she'd handle a new setting but she settled really quickly and the staff were so helpful with this. She goes in every day without tears and comes out
smiling. I love the fact they go to the farm at least once a day, and not just to see the animals, she always comes home telling me something different she has done at the farm. As a family, we've had a difficult few months and I cannot thank the nursery enough for making this transition to preschool as smooth as possible. She has learnt so much, tried new foods, made lots of friends and has grown up a lot and I'm so grateful for their support in this. Highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Godstone Farm Day Nursery & 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.930 for Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 4.938 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Godstone Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 18 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.938

  • 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.
