  • Future Flyers Day Nursery, Stoke-on-Trent
Future Flyers Opened its doors in September 2022, after completing a huge renovation of St Johns Church. The result is a stunningly beautiful learning environment that is full of laughter and fun.

The team understand that children prosper when they are placed in a warm loving and protected environment. They believe that children learn best through play-based, hands-on experience and within an enabling environment that encourages children to be independent. Through exploratory play, the team promote curiosity and spark each child's imagination as they make sense of the world around them. The team strive to encourage children's enquiring mind using awe and wonder, instilling a love of learning.

Every single child is valued and respected as an unique individual. The team recognise that all children develop differently and at different stages of their lives. Staff are highly skilled and qualified to embrace each individual child's needs. They plan activities based on each child's individual development needs.

Future Flyers uses the Famly app to share the children's learning journey with parents. There is a designated Sensory room that is perfect for those moments when children need a quiet tranquil space to relax. There is a lovely, fully enclosed outdoor environment for children to spend time in the fresh air and develop their gross motor skills.

The chef prepares home-cooked, healthy, nutritious meals each day and meal times are used as learning opportunities for children to become independent and to socialise. The meat is sourced from a Halal Butchers locally

OFSTED inspected the nursery in September 2024 and graded the setting GOOD.

Amazing nursery, the staff are fantastic and the resources are fab! We tried another nursery originally but my child just did not settle there and every day was a struggle. We decided to move to Future Flyers and it was the best decision we've made! The staff have really put in the time and effort to
help her settle and it shows, I cannot thank them enough! To be able to go to work with peace of mind, knowing that my child is happy and well looked after means everything.
Thank you all so much!

This nursery is absolutely amazing and has helped my daughter come on leaps and bounds! They have helped develop my daughter's speech so well and she is always happy to attend! She is continuously learning new things and is always doing something fun and educational and the app that they use is amazing
to keep me updated, I love seeing the pictures of what she gets up to in the day! Future Flyers you are brill! And I highly recommend.

As a parent, I cannot express how thrilled I am with the exceptional care provided to our daughter at Future Flyers.
Within days since our daughter started at Future Flyers, we realised that this was the right place for her because she completely changed into a new better person, and she wakes up every
single day, including weekends, just to go to the nursery. Her communication skills, food habits, social skills, everything got really better in a matter of days. It's heartwarming to witness the genuine affection they have for the little ones under their care.
Communication between the nursery and parents is excellent. Regular updates and photos keep us informed about our child's daily activities, progress, and any special events happening at the nursery.
We strongly suggest Future Flyers to all the parents who are looking for a place in the Norton area for their little ones. We would like to thank everyone at Future Flyers from the bottom of our hearts.

Our child has been attending Future Flyers since January 2023. As a parent who has 20 years experience of working in early years and of a child with additional needs, there is no other nursery I would send my child to. He has grown in confidence, started to develop social skills and staff that support
him every step of his journey. He is a very fussy eater and he is always encouraged to try what all his friends are trying but the times he will not eat what is provided, he is always provided with an alternative that the staff know he will eat. We are kept fully informed of his day via the nursery app and receive regular pictures through the app so we can see what he's been doing during the day. The manager and her team are amazing and supportive we have just declined our son's school nursery place and decided to keep him with future flyers until reception. Our son runs in every morning and hugs staff members like they're family. As a parent what more could you want?

This nursery is amazing, they go above and beyond. My little boy loves going. He is happy to go which makes me, as his mummy, happy to leave him in their care. He has fun playing, eats well and has snacks too. He has really warmed to the staff and his speech has come on a lot and he's only been going
for around a month. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

I cannot explain how happy I am to have found this nursery. Putting my daughter into a nursery has been a difficult decision as my daughter has additional needs and I have been fearful in case they could not be met.
The staff at the nursery have been absolutely amazing putting provisions in place
tailored to my daughter and her needs, adjusting her hours to suit her and always open to suggestions. There is a high level of communication between nursery and home which has allowed my daughter to settle well and everyone to know what's happening on both ends.
The staff are friendly and approachable and my daughter clearly feels happy in their care.

My daughter started when the nursery opened last year and the staff have always gone above and beyond for her and us as parents. Super friendly and my daughter absolutely loves her time there. I cannot say enough good things about this nursery. My daughter has been in other nurseries before this one
and I've never seen her more happy since starting here. She's come on leaps and bounds since attending and I couldn't be more proud and it's all down to the hard work of the staff.

My daughter started at the nursery when it first opened with speech and language difficulties the wonderful staff at the nursery have worked together with me and my child to give her the support and learning needed to help her communicate. The nursery staff have also been amazing to my older child with
sen needs and given her the time to talk to the staff and with her younger sibling at drop of times. The nursery and it's staff have gone above and beyond most nursery expectations with supplying and supporting all children with a variety of needs and care. If anyone is looking for a nursery I would highly recommend future flyers and their amazing staff.

My daughter started this at the start of Jan 2023 and she loves this nursery. I was very concerned about how she would act being away from me for the 1st time but she has settled in amazingly after her taster session. The staff are amazing and genuinely care about your children and their needs every
day they have different activities to keep them stimulated. As I have said my daughter loves nursery to the point she cries when I pick her up as she does not want to leave and come home.

My son started Future Flyers nursery when it opened back in September 2022. Since going he has come on leaps and bounds thanks to all the staff for their constant help and support. Since attending Future Flyers nursery he now feeds himself with a fork and spoon, understands simple commands such as help
tidy up the toys and is talking more than ever! Knowing all the colours, numbers up to 20, the alphabet and so much more. He is a right chatterbox now. He is always doing something fun and exciting but it is educational at the same time to help him come on even more. The staff at Future flyers are so approachable no matter what concern I have. I would definitely recommend your child to come here!

Appalling nursery with very little staff don't seem overly experienced and refused
My child after 3 hours of settle-in sessions accused him of being aggressive which he never has been. If your child has additional needs this is definitely not the place for them. Paid for meals for my son which he never
had and still have not received a refund.

Reply from Jane Barber, Manager at Future Flyers Day Nursery

This is not actually true! Very disappointed that you feel this way. My staff are all very qualified and actually, we have several children with additional needs attending which we have been praised for by the local authority for the support we provide. I did suggest that because your child wasn't settling and he might be better with a childminder. I won't let a child be that distressed.

Can't thank all the staff enough for everything they do for my son. Lots of nurseries refused to have him because of his complex needs but the manager welcomed us with open arms and made me feel reassured we couldn't have asked for more. He has made so much progress already. Other ladies are absolutely
amazing with him. We are so lucky to have found such a fantastic nursery with amazing staff I would highly recommend the truly stunning nursery to anyone.

My goddaughter has started to attend Future Flyers, and after being at another nursery beforehand and not settling I really wasn't sure, but I can not rate it enough if I could give 10 stars I would. The way the staff are so approachable and caring not only to the children but parents as well. She has
come on so much in the last month and she tells me about her new nursery all the time, especially the good morning songs! A fantastic nursery and so glad it has opened up. Well done team keep going.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Future Flyers Day 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.977 for Future Flyers Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 Future Flyers Day Nursery is based on 25 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 25 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.
