This is such a wonderful nursery. They look after my son so well and do so many activities with the children as well as taking them outdoors and PE lessons. All of the staff and very approachable, always have time for questions about my son, his day and even sleeping tips. They always go above and beyond
and I couldn't be more grateful.

The staff often move the furniture around and my child is fascinated by exploring the room and never gets bored. We often have the opportunity to join children during events such as reading books for children, Valentine's party etc. I appreciate the daily report of what my child did during the day and
also through the app I can see how much he ate from lunch, how my child is doing, which I appreciated during settle days.

It's been few months since my child started the nursery but it didn't take long to see positive impact it had for my little one!
Amazing staff who are dedicated to keep your child busy, help them learn and find their interests whilst building relationships with
the little ones.
I receive updates throughout the day with pictures and information regarding food/naps etc and any emergency would reported straightaway! I also have a quick chat with staff at the end of the day!

The staff in the Acorn room are so wonderful!! They really engage well with the children and teach them from such a young age. My 2 year old loves going to nursery everyday as there are so many different activities such as baking, painting, reading etc. The extra mile the staff go to make us all feel
welcome and part of the family is just a blessing. Every week "play ball" will visit and my little boy gets so happy knowing he will visit that day and have their PE lesson - thank you!

I could not speak highly enough of the staff and Puddleduck Day Nursery in Ascot. We viewed 10 nurseries in the area and we instantly felt the calm and lovely atmosphere as we walked through the door. This is a nursery with a home-from-home environment. The staff are all so lovely and dedicated to their
job. They always put the children first and have given the best support to the parents in the process of settling in. They are honest, and kind and do the most amazing activities with all the children. Look no further if you want to send your child to a loving and caring nursery where you will see the kids thriving. I could not be more happy with our choice and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking. Our little one absolutely loves it and it's the best feeling as a parent to see your child living his best life at nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.696)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.696) out of 10 for Puddleduck Day Nursery in Ascot (St Martins Church) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.796 for Puddleduck Day Nursery in Ascot (St Martins Church) is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.796

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Puddleduck Day Nursery in Ascot (St Martins Church) 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 37 number of registered child places is 7.4, which has been reached with 9 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.
