St Andrew's vision is to ensure all children have access to outstanding care and education, delivered in a warm but challenging environment. Highly experienced practitioners play a key role in the children's progress and development, as the team understand that every child is unique. Children are met at their individual starting blocks and follow an exciting and engaging curriculum which follows the children’s interests and ideas.

The preschool maintains a home from home feel, and through a nurturing approach, supports children to develop their emotional health, physical health and wellbeing. Practitioners have attuned relationships with the children and they respond with attentiveness and sensitivity to help them develop their self regulation skills and emotional literacy.

St Andrew's are an inclusive early years provider and have a commitment to valuing and respecting the diversity of all children and families. The differences between children offer wonderful opportunities to learn and celebrate, and the setting enables children to view diversity positively and develop their self identities.

Staff at St Andrew's want to enhance children’s learning by building upon their wider experiences, teaching them to respect, value and enjoy the world in which they live.

My son is finishing his time at St Andrews this month to begin school. He attended for 18 months in total and he loved it! I have nothing but praise for the staff, they supported us as we potty trained him, It's been great to see his speech, social skills and playing skills develop.
The staff have
always been full of wisdom on his progression, quick to raise any issues with his behaviour and always happy to listen to any feedback, or information on his well being.
They have been fantastic, I'm thankful to all of them!

I am amazed at how quickly and well my child settled into St. Andrews. He changed very quickly from tears at drop-off to skipping into pre-school, which has been so lovely to see.
His confidence has improved drastically and he has really enjoyed his time there.

My child has attended St. Andrew's Pre-School since it opened in September 2022, and it has been a wonderful home-to-home experience for us. The staff quickly helped her settle in and supported her in learning English as her second language. Since we speak a different language at home, her English vocabulary
can largely be attributed to St. Andrew's. I can tell that she has been spoken to and had things explained to her about various everyday topics. They read her many books, taught her how to do basic tasks, self-care, crafts, and much more. It is truly a nurturing environment for kids. Now, my 2-year-old has also started at this pre-school. He settled in after just two days and happily rushes inside when the door opens in the morning. St. Andrew's Pre-School has been an invaluable part of our children's early education and development.

Our son has been attending this nursery for about 18 months and the difference in him is unbelievable. He is so much more confident and I feel like this is very much down to the staff at the nursery.
The nursery has a very home-from-home feel. They let the children free play which suits my son really
well because he doesn't always want to do crafty activities. Their outside space is amazing. My son always comes home happy and sometimes runs inside without a goodbye or backward glance.

My daughter loves it here; so nurturing, kind and fun. Gorgeous setting. The staff are wonderful, can’t wait to send my son once he’s old enough. The staff always explain what the children have been learning that week/day, how my child has enjoyed it, what she’s taken from it and what we can do at home
to continue the activity.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for St Andrew's Preschool Ashton 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.983 for St Andrew's Preschool Ashton is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Andrew's Preschool Ashton is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 22 number of registered child places is 4.4, which has been reached with 5 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.
