As sad as I will be to see her leave this year to go to school, I’m excited that we can continue our journey with my son starting in September. Such a fantastic setting for children, and you can see this in their faces when they come out from nursery. The conversations we have about activities, friends and the staff. It’s a real comfort, especially to parents who may be anxious about their little ones starting their nursery journey. It’s a 10/10 from me.

The staff are always very friendly when I come to collect him, they are happy to offer advice and my son is always happy to see whoever is at the door when he arrives. They really helped me to crack the toilet training.

The communication between the nursery and parents is good. The newsletter and use of an app means that I feel well informed of what is happening and what is coming up next.
I would definitely recommend the nursery to others.

One highlight for me is the number of trips out of setting the staff arrange. They are linked with Finkley Down Farm and visit regularly but they also visit local lakes, parks and green spaces. I also really appreciate the themed crafts the children create which is influenced by the learning theme of the week. It’s really lovely seeing my child proudly clutching their creation. The outdoor space is great and they have space to grow things.
Ultimately the staff are incredible. They have achieved so much in the year they have been open and during the pandemic. I can’t thank them enough.

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) out of 10 for Finkley East Anton Nursery and 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 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.980 for Finkley East Anton Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (548 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 559 Ratings = 4.98
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 Finkley East Anton Nursery and Pre-School is based on 47 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 47 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.
