I am so pleased I chose Ducklings Blackley, they have proven time and time again that they always put the children first and make sure they get the best experiences during their time at nursery from trips to daily activities. The manager is the example that sets the tone for all staff in professionalism,
care and trust, an asset to the nursery. They are a brilliant nursery and every member of staff has clearly been chosen well due to their care, enthusiasm and ethics, cannot praise them enough. The only criticism is the outdoor space that needs updating but I know this is not an easy task.

Reply from Deborah Walters, Owner at Ducklings at Blackley

Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately with not owning the building we do what we can to provide a safe but challenging outside area, which the children appear to enjoy! We are delighted you feel you made the right choice in Ducklings. Thank you for your support.

Ducklings Nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way. The teachers are passionate and attentive, always ensuring that each child feels valued and supported. My daughter loves going to nursery every day and has developed so many new skills and friendships. The communication from the staff is
excellent, keeping us informed about her progress and activities. I couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend Ducklings Nursery to all parents!

This nursery has made constant improvements, always looking to provide the best care and genuinely has the loveliest staff. They had their Ofsted recently and to quote the report. Staff have created a calm and tranquil learning environment for children. As children arrive, their laughter fills the air
and the atmosphere buzzes with their excitement. That speaks volumes as well as management being incredibly welcoming and helpful, I can't praise them enough!

Absolutely brilliant nursery. The staff are great. My little boy has been very happy there and will be sad to leave for big school. Lots of activities to do. Great meals. Attentive staff. Best nursery I've used so far, absolutely no problems whatsoever.

My daughter has only just recently started at Ducklings in the new term and I am very very happy that I have chosen Ducklings for my daughter, it's a lovely little nursery and the staff are all amazing and very helpful, we had a bit of a problem with getting her to nursery as it was all new to her at
the start and we were both nervous and the staff were so supportive and helpful helping me find ways and making it easier for me to get her there, the manager even came to meet me in the morning to assist me with getting her into nursery which helped a lot and was very grateful for, she now really enjoys going to nursery and says that her teachers are her best friends, she has also learned so much and developed so much with the help of this nursery and is learning new things and making new friends every day I couldn't recommend Ducklings enough the staff are amazing and have great relationships with all the children.
Thanks so much Ducklings.

My daughter has been at Ducklings Blackley since she was 1 and whenever any of my friends are looking for a nursery, I can't recommend them enough! They have been absolutely amazing with my daughter - I couldn’t believe how fast she settled and how lovely the staff are with her. She hops into nursery
every morning and has said herself that she loves her ‘school’, as she calls it. The setting is very homely and the staff make so much effort in making sure they know each child individually and really focus on their interests and needs. The staff are honestly fantastic and always keep me updated on my daughter’s day-to-day adventures and developments. I have watched my daughter grow and develop so much since she started at ducklings and they deserve all the credit for how well she is doing! I also 100% trust the nursery and I think that is also very important.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.294)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.294) out of 10 for Ducklings at Blackley 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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 Ducklings at Blackley is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 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 4.35 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ducklings at Blackley is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.75

  • 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.
