Excellent staff and care. The current management has really turned the nursery environment around. Our child has always been happy here but there was a period of huge staff attrition and it was clear there was something amiss. We are back to being completely happy with Future Champions and really appreciate
all of the nurture and care displayed by all staff.

The overall friendliness of the nursery as a whole. Choosing a nursery for your child is a big decision but future champions made this easy, as a whole this is a great nursery, the building and playground, the staff, playrooms, other children, parents, the regular updates by an app, variety of food
and activities the children do.

My child recently started attending Future Champions and the staff have been wonderful in supporting us both through the transition. I love that she is able to play all day and get involved in a wide and varied range of activities. The facilities and equipment looks well-maintained and clean and there
is plenty of space for her to move around and explore. I really like the app being updated throughout the day and the meals provided appear to be well thought out. The staff in general appear happy at work, and they always take the time to talk to me and let me know how my child is getting on. Most importantly, I feel my child is well cared for and kept safe while I am not there.

Future Champions Nursery is the best place for my little girl to develop. They have been very supportive with her recent toilet training and she absolutely loves going. The staff are so kind and friendly and I love to see that my little girl is so excited to go to nursery. Thank you.

My child attended Future Champions from the age of 13 months and progressed through all rooms until they left for Reception class. During their time at the nursery, they thrived! The staff were so attentive and caring that they became a second family. There was always a range of different themed activities
as well as trips within the local community and further afield to stimulate the children and assist with their learning. As parents, we were provided with daily detailed feedback so we could feel involved in the children’s day. Future Champions itself is a beautiful setting and it really does feel like a home. Highly recommend!

Reply from Jamie-Lee Davies, Manager at Future Champions Childrens Nursery Horwich

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It is lovely to see such lovely feedback on our setting and we strive to continue offering such wonderful things for our children year in and year out. We love to hear that we are like a second family to your children and really feel this is what we try to offer. Our staff love to be as involved in your child's growing up as you are. We hope to continue offering this amazing level of care for your new child.

A wonderful nursery. Can’t credit the staff enough and the valuable work they do in developing their little people all-round. Always feel that my child is completely safe and loved by staff, and they will go the extra mile to do the best for them. My child loves it, and is excited and prepared to start
school, but is worried that she will miss her nursery teachers! Daily/multiple daily updates via app which is easy to use. Great premises and facilities which are safe and continuously invested in and updated. A wide range of activities. The only issues I’ve ever had are minor administrative ones between the head office and the nursery. Would 100% recommend.

Reply from Jamie-Lee Davies, Manager at Future Champions Childrens Nursery Horwich

Thank you very much for your review! It has been a pleasure caring for your daughter and glad we could help in times needed. Pre-school will be sad to see her leave this year but she is more than ready for school. We are proud to be a part of her development. She is definitely a future champion.

Future Champions has helped my little boy to flourish. The team are great with the children but also support the parents. Especially when it comes to learning about mechanisms to improve behaviours and potty training. The facilities are well maintained and are bright and welcoming. Whilst slightly on
the expensive side, I would still definitely recommend Future Champions Horwich.

Reply from Jamie-Lee Davies, Manager at Future Champions Childrens Nursery Horwich

Thank you for your review, we love to hear all feedback. We always strive to support all parents where we can with any advice and guidance and its always positive to hear this has helped at home. It has been great supporting your family and your son in nursery. We will look forward to continuing his care through to school.

My son has been at the nursery for a few years now and there have been some changes but the ethos of the nursery has remained the same. Providing a fun and safe environment for the children to play, learn and grow.
For meals, he gets well-balanced meals and snacks. The staff are all super friendly
and are happy to provide updates daily upon collection. They want to hear about the child’s development outside of nursery and things they can work on whilst they are attending nursery.
We receive plenty of updates through the app, either in a group or individual setting which shows all the children fully enjoying their time there.

Reply from Jamie-Lee Davies, Manager at Future Champions Childrens Nursery Horwich

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We have enjoyed caring for your son at nursery and he has been a pleasure. We will continue to take any suggestions on board to improve our practice to provide the best possible care for your child.

We decided to remove our children from this nursery as we relocated to a nearby town. Also due to the fact staff members seemed to be changing all the time.
We were promised that we would receive photos/journey planners since they had been at the nursery. Nothing after numerous attempts of chasing
this up and staff members sighing down the phone.
This is not the same nursery that our children started at 3 years ago.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.504)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.504) out of 10 for Future Champions Childrens Nursery Horwich 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.893 for Future Champions Childrens Nursery Horwich is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 4.611 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Future Champions Childrens Nursery Horwich is based on 11 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.611

  • 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.
