My son settled really quickly and seems to like it here. He smiles when he sees the staff so I think they formed some sort of bond over the two months. We are overall happy with the nursery. However, we did have for instances where my son was taken to the outside area without shoes and hat. we had to
write a complaint but since then things improved.

My daughter has come on so much since she has been attending. Absolutely amazing nursery. All food is cooked fresh on site with nutrition being the main focus, whilst getting children to eat a wide range of different foods.

Mandarin Ducklings is a fantastic, nurturing, and unique nursery, offering an excellent range of both learning activities, outdoor play and activities, and the most wonderful nutritious food. The staff are very caring and hold the hands of both parents and child together, much needed when settling in!
The updates in the app are detailed and timely and each day the staff get the children out, come rain or shine. Most importantly, my son is very happy here.

Our daughter loves going to Mandarin Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery. Their indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful and perfect for inspiring adventurous, inquisitive and creative little minds. We love their wholesome program that seamlessly blends Montessori and Forest School principals, as well as
embedding Mandarin language throughout. Within the first month of attending, our daughter started coming home singing songs in Mandarin which blew us away.
Their outdoor spaces are incredible and rare, especially for London. Nature play was important for us and Mandarin Ducklings have exceeded our expectations with their two outdoor spaces; which not only are fun and engaging but also peaceful places for little explorers.
The staff are absolutely fabulous. They really know each and every child, and communication with parents is great. The staff genuinely care for and teach the children with so much kindness and passion, it honestly feels like an extension of our family.
We couldn’t be happier.

Our (now) 18-month-old daughter has absolutely thrived here. The outdoor space is brilliant and all of the teachers do a wonderful job with the unique combination of Montessori, Mandarin, and outdoor learning. Staff are delightful - they were so patient and caring as we were settling in and are very
communicative with the parents. The in-house chef does a wonderful job too - the menus look delicious. Our daughter is always happy at drop-off - she runs in to see her friends and teachers which makes us happy parents. We would not hesitate to recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Mandarin Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.857 for Mandarin Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 4.926 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mandarin Ducklings Putney Bridge Nursery 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.833

  • 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.
