Five-star nursery. Staff are friendly and genuinely care about the children. Flexible and accommodating if I need additional days/hours for the children.
The outdoor space is on the small side but it is well-covered so is perfect for shade in the summer.
My children love going to this nursery and
have grown in confidence and independence since attending.

I was so anxious about sending my daughter to nursery at such a young age (9 months old). Beech Trees has been amazing at supporting my family and ensuring that we all settled into the new normal when I returned to work! Since attending nursery, my daughter has thrived. Her social skills have come on
leaps and bounds, as well as her eating and mobility skills. The staff are so friendly, and I can clearly see how much they care about my daughter. I'm excited to continue watching her grow there.

My 3-year-old son started at Beech Tree in August. I was nervous for him as he hadn't spent a lot of time around other children and we were used to being together all the time. I had no reason to worry at all, from the very first visit the staff made my son feel comfortable and relaxed. He absolutely
loves the time he spends there and has made friends very quickly and the staff take the time to get to know what his interests are and what he enjoys doing. I have noticed a positive difference in every aspect of his development and more importantly, he is happy. Definitely 5 stars, wonderful, friendly staff, and a great environment for kids to learn and thrive.

Great nursery! My child has settled in so well and has a strong bond with all members of staff! My child has only been attending for just over a month and already knows three different expressions in sign language. There seems to be a brilliant routine during the day that my child identifies with very
well. My child enjoys the hot food the nursery provides.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.830) out of 10 for Beech Tree Childcare Selsey 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Beech Tree Childcare Selsey is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.83 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beech Tree Childcare Selsey is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.455

  • 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.
