Collingwood School and Nursery is unlike any other nursery I have experienced or know of. It is truly such a special nursery where the teachers and nursery staff are passionate, energetic and incredibly caring. My daughter has PE lessons, music lessons, attends a weekly visit to the woods and is given
the absolute best experiences. This nursery is beyond outstanding.

Our son was initially struggling to settle as this is his first nursery but we worked out a great routine with the registered manager and the nursery team.
He loves going to nursery every morning and talks about seeing his teachers and friends. His vocabulary is improving day by day and he is just
so happy.

Our experience with Collingwood School Nursery has been brilliant. We think the nursery has done a good job of getting our child prepared for school. The staff are brilliant. They put a lot of effort into planning activities that are enjoyable as well as educational for a well-rounded learning experience.
The staff also keeps parents informed with daily updates and pictures of the children’s activities which I’ve found helpful.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the care my child is receiving.

Our experience with the nursery has been overwhelmingly positive. The caring staff, engaging activities, and nurturing environment make it an excellent choice for early childhood education. We feel like part of a caring family. The daily updates really make us feel connected and involved.

This nursery is light years better than the previous nursery. Every morning, our son can't wait to go to nursery, with the varied, stimulating activities and large outside green space. There are regular trips and plenty of photos too. Staff are professional, passionate, long-serving and approachable.
There is a strong emphasis on learning through play, so maths and phonics are integrated without the children knowing about it. Being attached to a primary school will help transition into reception, with the year six students acting as good role models and improving socialisation. Being close to a train station, with an early breakfast club and a late after-school club, is a big bonus for working parents.

My child absolutely loves attending nursery. The staff always go above and beyond to create engaging activities for the children to participate in. Outdoor play is a huge focus and the children are out whatever the weather. I am so pleased to have found such a fantastic nursery on our doorstep.

All the staff are very kind, professional, patient and careful. My daughter likes to go to nursery and has lots of fun and learning even though she is only two years old and is the youngest one. I realize her English speaking skills have improved a lot (we, most of the time speak Mandarin at home).
She can call out almost all her classmates' names at nursery which makes me surprised. I think I really like this nursery and highly recommend it.

We are so pleased we chose Collingwood Nursery for our daughter. She is thriving and the effort and enthusiasm shown by all the teachers is wonderful. We have recommended it to several families and have only good things to say about the environment, staff and facilities.

Reliable teaching and caring methodology. All staff are friendly and with responsibility.
We were worried about the settle-in period and it turned out my son settled in very well. Now he’s happy and learned a lot in the nursery.

My daughter loves this nursery! I asked her to tell me what she thought of the nursery out of ten. Her response was one hundred and ten! The daily activities are stimulating with a focus on learning through play. In addition, the nursery team have been excellent in helping my daughter settle into a
new environment.

Our experience with Collingwood School Nursery has been brilliant. Our child eagerly looks forward to each day and to all the diverse activities, from creative art to role play and library visits, which have captivated our child's interest and proved both educational and enjoyable.
The outstanding
care and attention provided by your staff stand out prominently. We are thoroughly impressed with the teaching methods and engaging topics introduced to the children. The thought and effort invested in creating a well-rounded learning experience are evident.
Notably, our child's social skills and confidence have significantly improved since joining Collingwood School. Interacting with peers and expressing themselves have become second nature. The seamless transition to more advanced academic concepts, preparing our child for the reception, is a testament to the nursery's effectiveness.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the care my child received from Collingwood School Nursery.

We moved our 2-year-old daughter to Collingwood and we are so so glad we did. It is such a lovely setting, she has so much fun and is happy to be dropped off and settled in a lot quicker than we anticipated. This will be down to the lovely staff and the consistency of the staff, it is the same small
team that works all week. We couldn’t be happier with Collingwood. Thank you.

The Collingwood nursery offers an excellent learning environment for children. They learn through play, exploring nature, borrowing books from the library and many more. I am very happy with my choice and think this is the best setting for my son to prepare for the next step-reception. The staff are
caring and very creative with different activities. A large area for children to play outside is a huge bonus as well.

Our son recently moved across to this nursery and we have already seen a huge difference in him. He is speaking so much more and learning a lot more as his learning and play are all constructive. Our son always says that he wants to go to Collingwood School and Nursery even on his days off. The staff
are absolutely amazing and they are an asset to the establishment and our son bonded with them from day one. Our son will be staying on for reception from September 2023 and the staff really help prepare the children for reception and this will really help the children that wish to stay on. The staff across the whole school are so friendly and you get a great family feel about this school which is one of the main reasons we decided to move our son across from now. The woodlands day, even for the nursery class, is a great addition to this nursery. I only wish we moved our son across sooner!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Collingwood School and Nursery 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.964 for Collingwood School and Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Collingwood School and Nursery is based on 14 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 12 number of registered child places is 2.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
