My daughter has been at this nursery for over two years now. The start of January saw her transition into pre-school and it was a very stress-free change. All the staff are incredibly friendly and supportive, which shows in how happy she is in the mornings when we arrive.

Thank you for your lovely review. We love having your daughter with us!

My daughter has been at this school since September 2022, and I have never had a bad experience with them. They communicate with me very well either by phone calls, letters, the app or at handover, so I am always kept up to date. The baby room is well looked after, and the staff are always friendly
and ready to help. They have helped my daughter make friends and build bonds with all staff members, not just her key worker, and they always ensure that everything is okay with us first before they do anything with our daughter.

Thank you so much for your lovely words! We love having her with us in the nursery and can't wait for baby sister to join us.

The toddler room is absolutely fantastic. The staff are warm and welcoming and always listen; they update you on everything you may ask, and they do a great job with my son. The staff in the preschool room are also fantastic, but sometimes it’s too busy to get an update. They support me in getting my
son into the room and tend to his needs if need be, but would be nice to hear more about what he has been up to verbally or if he joined in etc, the staff are lovely though.

My son attends this nursery and is very happy there. I've found the staff to be very attentive despite everything they must have to remember. One great initiative the nursery came up with concerned a Teddy bear which the children could take home and be responsible for over the course of a week. My son
loved this initiative, and he would often tell us what 'Ted' was doing that day and he even suggested places where we could all take Ted. This is just one of many ideas which the nursery staff come up with, and it helped my son to take responsibility for something new.

S4YC @ Over has been amazing with my son and myself. They have eased my anxiety and always call or inform me how my son is that day which is really helpful. He didn't settle at first but now he absolutely loves nursery. The staff are quick to pick up if he isn't feeling 100% which isn't easy because
he can be quite reserved and the staff are understanding when he needs time off for sickness. He has become very chatty and confident since starting nursery and he is enjoying learning a lot of new things, especially his love of books. He is encouraged and glowing now and we are really happy with his progress.

When my daughter started pre-school last year she was very shy and didn’t interact with other children but now in just a few months she’s playing with other children and even building little friendships, the staff are amazing with her. Every morning at drop off each member of staff has the biggest smile
on their face it’s really welcoming for the children, at pick up time I'm always informed on how her day has gone and how well she’s done, it’s so nice to hear what she’s been up to and also seeing the photos on the app to. We love the parent/guardian stay and play sessions they are brilliant, we always recommend the nursery when anyone asks and we will be so sad leaving when she goes to big school.

Overall, caring, supportive, understanding and good teachers! The only issue I really have is that the kids don’t have enough

My 1-year-old started in the baby room in November 2023. All the staff worked so hard with her to make her feel settled and happy. Very nice personal-centred approach to each child's different needs and personalities. Staff are always friendly and you can tell all the children are happy and settled
in the baby room which says a lot about the staff. The room leader has always been so kind and approachable and has given me advice and reassurance as a first-time mum. All staff when entering the nursery are warm, polite, professional and always hands-on with all the kids. Each room looks like a fun environment to be in and are always up to something different each time I visit. Security is also key and most of the staff know my name or the name of my child and have taken the time to get to know each family member who picks up, which is a huge reassurance. I can't wait to get her in more days.

My daughter has been attending S4YC @ Over for just over a year now. The staff have been absolutely faultless at caring for her and making her feel happy and welcome, every morning she runs in with a big smile on her face and never complains about going in. She absolutely loves all of the staff and
especially her 1-1 key worker who is fantastic (as all of them are) at dealing with her additional needs. I was so worried about sending her to nursery but I wish I hadn’t spent so much time doing so as I’m not worried at all now, I know she is in such safe and trustworthy hands and is having a great time. All of the staff have been so catering to her needs and do everything they can to make her feel comfortable or have a plan in place if she becomes overwhelmed at any point. I would recommend S4YC Over to anyone!

The ladies at S4YC Over have been beyond fantastic!! My eldest attended from April 2021 - September 2023 when he left for primary school, they went above and beyond to ensure I felt at ease during my son's time here due to his additional needs and being unable to communicate. My daughter then started
in September 2022 and again the staff have been absolutely fantastic with her. The staff ensure that everybody is welcomed into their nursery families and always have the children's best interests at heart. Staff have worked alongside myself to encourage my daughter to flourish and get through the separation anxiety she was experiencing, she now attends nursery smiley and happy for each session and comes home speaking about her friends and the ladies in the room. I honestly couldn’t recommend them more, a fantastic team and the only team I’d trust with my children.

My twins go to the nursery two days a week, the whole team have been amazing, helping them settle in, updates and photos in the app are fantastic to put my mind at rest when drop-offs are full of tears! They have said for me to ring anytime I want to and anytime that I have called I have been reassured
that they settled very quickly and were having lots of fun!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) out of 10 for S4YC @ Over 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.799 for S4YC @ Over is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.799

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for S4YC @ Over is based on 21 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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, which has been reached with 21 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.
