Our son had the best time at Reigate St Mary’s in kindergarten. The class sizes are lovely and small and there are brilliant ratios of well-qualified teaching staff and teaching assistants to pupils. Some highlights were forest school, computing and learning Spanish, as well as making wonderful friends.

Reigate St Mary's Prep and Nursery School has been the perfect setting for our daughter. It has a welcoming and caring family atmosphere with great facilities. She settled almost immediately despite not being in childcare previously and has made some lovely friendships. The staff have been great at
letting us know how she is getting on and answering any questions we may have. You can tell straight away they genuinely care about the children.
Our daughter loves going to nursery and enjoys learning through play. There are a mix of activities, great outdoor space (her favourite) and extra “classes”, such as music, dance and playball that they can get involved with. She has really come on with her language skills and is currently enjoying learning the early stages of phonics.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and hope she continues to be this happy throughout the remainder of the school.

We are so happy with Reigate St Mary's nursery care. Our children are looked after brilliantly by the amazing early years teachers. They get to know each child individually and flex the care to their needs. Both my children have been through Reigate St Mary's nursery years and we could not have asked
for a better place for them to be cared for and learn.

The Early Years Team at Reigate St. Mary's are so good at what they do. They create a caring, nurturing environment that the children really do enjoy and absolutely thrive within. Our daughter loved going to Kindergarten so much, she couldn't wait for Monday morning.
We wanted to give our daughter
the best start in life that we could and I can honestly say Reigate St Mary's absolutely deliver in every area. When I dropped my daughter off in the morning, I did so confident in the knowledge she would be loved and cared for and she would enjoy her time at school.
She was encouraged every day to try new things (have a go hippo). She learnt through so many different child-led activities (choosing chimp) and was so productive too (busy bee).


What's so great about the way the nursery works is that the children are having so much fun they don't even realise they are laying the solid academic foundations for Reception and beyond. Fantastic nursery - highly recommended.

Our son started at Kindergarten entry and we were so impressed with everything: from the curriculum, the great facilities he used weekly as part of his school week (the school library to borrow books, Spanish with the Spanish teacher, PE in the sports hall, IT lessons in the IT lab) and all the wonderful
staff. He loved going to Kindergarten and kept asking me if it was a school day.
This has definitely paid off as he is now a very happy chappy, who seems to have transitioned to reception at Reigate St. Mary's stress-free and drama-free!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.840) out of 10 for Reigate St Mary's Prep and Nursery School 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 3.9 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 Reigate St Mary's Prep and Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 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 3.857 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Reigate St Mary's Prep and Nursery School 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.357

  • 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.
