My youngest daughter started nursery here in January 2024 just after her 2nd birthday and the staff and nursery have been nothing short of fantastic since she joined. Her teachers are so lovely and have gone at my little one's own pace to make sure she is happy and comfortable whilst still getting used
to attending each week. Communication has been brilliant with at least one daily update, I'd highly recommend if you're looking for a nursery in the area to provide brilliant care for your little ones.

Goldilocks go above and beyond for my child's needs. The key workers work closely with the children and they become very attached to the children they care for. I find they are informative and connect well on a personal level. My child has been going here for almost 2 years and they enjoy being there
so much. It's a happy environment for children and the staff are always positive. I find the management to be engaging and are very helpful when looking for advice with childcare procedures etc. All in all, a very nice environment for your children to attend.

My little girl started here when she was 7 months old. They always made sure she was fully cared for and make sure she is making progress in her development by encouraging her to try new things. Always accommodating when I need an extra day and very friendly!

We are just delighted with Goldilocks. Beginning with the sign in process and continuing with the day to day activities, everything is just great. The staff is always helpful and they really care about the children, our child is always smiling coming into the nursery and is learning a lot of new things
every day. Happy parents here.

We have been sending our 2 year old to Goldilocks since November 2023 and we love it there, the setting is great and the staff have been so nice and friendly. Our little boy has settled in really well at Goldilocks and enjoys going in every day and seeing his little friends. They do a great range of
learning activities and we really like that we get regular updates on an app so we can see what he has been doing and we also get a great handover at the end of each day.

We started this nursery in June this year and since then we have only good memories. Our daughter is already settled and does not want to leave nursery. A big thank you to all staff because all of you have been so nice and helpful. I think it was the best decision to select this nursery because we can
see that, already, our daugher started making progress in her speech and communication.

Although we haven't been at the nursery long and there have been a lot of staff changes since she arrived, our little girl seems to be settling in very well, it's nice to see her coming home covered in paint, pens, water etc. every time she is there as I know that she is getting involved in everything.
Our little girl also has a speech delay and the nursery, since joining, has been nothing but helpful in trying to follow everything we are doing at home and so forth. We look forward to the months ahead with them. They are also still in the process of building the nursery so I can't wait till its finished.

My experience with Goldilocks Nursery Sittingbourne has been amazing. My daughter was there when they first opened and has loved every minute of it. Her progress has been wonderful to watch and the staff keep you updated all the time with pictures and messages. It is clean, warm and inviting. My daughter
goes up to big school in September and I am going to thoroughly miss taking her there and I know for sure she will miss the setting and her teachers terribly. Thank you, Goldilocks for a fantastic year!

Keep it up girls, the hard work you put in does show!

Such a fantastic nursery, my son attends here and he is always asking to go in even on the days he is off, such a wonderful place for children.
The staff are so helpful and there is always a friendly atmosphere. For anyone wanting to find a nursery for their child, I would highly recommend Goldilocks
Nursery. Thank you so much for all your help and support.
5 stars aren't enough to rate the nursery.

My son started Goldilocks Nursery Sittingbourne a month ago and I’m honestly very impressed with the setting, cleanliness and all the staff there. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and smiley, all have bright and happy attitudes and are so attentive to my little boy. Being one of the youngest there
he has some days where he’s a little fussy, the staff keep me up to date through the famly app or just a courtesy call every now and again and I know he’s well looked after. Overall he’s settled in well and is very happy to leave me and go off with the staff and other children each session which shows how brill they are! They seem to really take the time to get to know each child and show genuine interest and care towards them all. Every time I drop him off they have lots of fun and exciting activities planned for the day for all the children! Highly recommend.

I moved my son to Goldilocks Nursery Sittingbourne after his previous setting become unreliable. Since my son has been at Goldilocks Nursery his behaviour has massively improved. His manners are outstanding and he is very settled. He has excellent days and can’t wait to go back again. The staff are
fantastic, always greet my son with a smile and give him such a great warm welcome, which I can tell my son really likes. The girls also do brilliant handovers at the end of the day. We choose for our son to have meals at nursery, he always eats well and again, this is mentioned in the handover at the end of the day. He’s made many friends and really enjoys the great variety of toys they have. Every morning there is multiple tuff trays and activities already set out for the children to explore. On Mother’s Day the staff arranged a tea party, it was so thoughtful. The only regret I have is not starting my son at Goldilocks Nursery sooner. Absolutely outstanding nursery. Thank you Goldilocks staff for everything.

My twin 2 year olds have been going to Goldilocks Nursery Sittingbourne since Easter and I cannot fault anything about it. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and very informative if you need to ask anything, the nursery setting is lovely, well laid out and the outside area is safe and secure.
As my children were born in January 2020 and were stuck indoors mainly for the first 9-12 months of their lives due to the Covid pandemic they never got the opportunity to mix with other children from a young age. But since starting nursery only 2 months ago they have thrived, made some friends and learnt so many new words that their vocabulary has improved so much. I never have any problems dropping them off as they are so eager and excited about going.

Excellent training is done here for Toddlers. Right from active listening, tidying up things after play, picking up the cutlery and eating by himself - Goldilocks Nursery Sittingbourne was able to achieve this unimaginable feat in less than five sessions. Kudos to the team.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.613)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.613) out of 10 for Goldilocks Nursery (Sittingbourne) 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.963 for Goldilocks Nursery (Sittingbourne) is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.963

  • 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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Goldilocks Nursery (Sittingbourne) is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 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.
