My son has been coming to Fenton Kindergarten now for over 12 months and has come on leaps and bounds, I am at ease knowing he is happy and well taken care of there is always constant updates and photos uploaded to the family app, the staff are kind and understanding and have helped accommodate for
myself and my son you don't just feel like your child has the support you do as a parent too they take yourself and child's well-being into account at all times and I have always felt welcomed. I feel that I am able to speak about anything or concerns etc with ease. My little one loves the food that is made also lots of options and good portions! We are really going to miss you all when little man goes up to big pre school nursery, I highly recommend Fenton Kindergarten.

From the moment we had our first show around we felt like part of a family. The staff are welcoming and professional and our little one just adores them all. In the 6 months we have been here our little one has come on leaps and bounds. He has so much confidence and has learnt so many new skills. The
team in the Baby Room are just amazing. The rooms are laid out perfectly, and they have an amazing outside space. The Children go and do activities in the community as well. Fantastic homemade meals and snacks. We would highly recommend.

Our little boy attends this nursery and we just can't compliment it enough.
The staff are all excellent, they all helped him to settle so quickly and have all got their own little bonds with them. He comes home and talks about them all.
The staff are attentive and focused on learning by play. We love
the artwork and little things they make and bring home and our son loves to show them off too!
His development since attending has been excellent and we couldn't be happier!
Even things like the outside space, whilst not the biggest they've made the best use of the area, ensuring there's plenty of things for the kids to play with and do outside, whilst remaining extremely safe. Overall we are delighted we made the decision to send him to Kindergarten, Fenton.

Both of my boys have come to the nursery for the past 3 1/2 years, the team have helped them grow and form friendships. They still attend after school and to have the support from the girls have been amazing nothing is too difficult for them and me and my husband always feel relaxed that the boys are
safe and also enjoying themselves. The nursery follows the educational program and both boys have flourished with speech and development and if there was any concerns it was highlighted and referrals were made. Such a fantastic nursery one I have no problems recommending to anybody.

My little girl has been going Fenton Kindergarten since September. When she first started going, she would be slightly shy and sometimes get upset, she now waves us bye bye and will happily make her way upstairs. I cannot fault this nursery one bit, as a first-time mum I knew very little about applying
to nurseries but also felt very guilty and quite upset as every first-time mum would be when leaving their child. The nursery staff made myself and partner feel comfortable and answered every question we asked and made the transition for my daughter very welcoming, not to mention if we have any questions or just want to check on our daughter we can message them through an app, where we get a very fast response and the staff always keep us updated. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my daughter. The girls are so patient, polite and very helpful, we can't fault them and I will always recommend this nursery in the future.

My little boy loves coming to this nursery and loves all of the staff. I know that when I leave him in your care, he is very well looked after. Since joining in February 2024, his progress has come on loads, and I could not be happier with how he's doing. Thank you so much for everything that you do;
you are all amazing.

My daughter started going to this nursery in September last year and I couldn't be happier that I chose this nursery. She loves being there and I can see it from the way when she's walking in. I'm pleased with all the staff because they always offer information about my daughter and they are taking
care of her. I can't say only a big thank you for everything that my daughter experienced there.

I honestly can not recommend this nursery enough. The nursery was taken over at the end of 2023 by The Kindergarten Group, we as a family, were a little apprehensive at first, but what a breath of fresh air it brought to the nursery. The staff are so caring and kind, always something exciting going
on for the children. Trips to the museum, activities with the old folk at the care home and going to the local parks, it's honestly an amazing little place. A previous staff member stayed as management which gave us comfort as they knew our children through and through. Higher management is very approachable, always helpful and supportive, the nursery is thriving and is a wonderful place to leave little ones when going to work. Very highly recommended.

My little boy goes this nursery and to say we're happy is an understatement, the staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make sure every single child is happy and well looked after, they make sure every child has the opportunity to do different activities during the week. The staff are so easy
to communicate with especially when medical conditions are involved, they have done so much when caring for my little boy and stuck to the plans other health professionals have put into place.

My grandson has been going to the nursery now since September, when he first started like most children he would get upset, the ladies at the nursery were so patient with him, Now he walks in waves at us and off he goes. My grandson has built such a special bond with the ladies at the nursery and is
even making friends. Everyday that he's there we see him grow and achieve things that he can only learn in this kind of environment, the children go out to the park and go into the community to do activities. I would highly recommend this Nursery Manager and her team are amazing.

I visited a few nurseries but Fenton Kindergarten I loved most. I voiced my concerns and how anxious I felt but instantly had comfort after visiting and talking with the nursery manager which I add was extremely welcoming and comforting. My little girl started in the Toddler room. She soon settled in
and was a super fan of her Nursery Practitioner, who was amazing. Always updated me on the app and always replied to my messages and gave me a lovely handover at pick-up. She is now in the Preschool room. She's settled and has so much love and comfort from both of the two Nursery Practitioners who are just so lovely. The girls have taught her so much and she is so happy going in and coming out of nursery. Communication is superb and I am always kept up to date with her progress and day-to-day activities. Her meals are always updated on what she ate and how much she ate and the chef makes such an effort and knows all the children's names which I think is so lovely. It's a small nursery with a huge heart. Highly Recommend!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Fenton Kindergarten 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.993 for Fenton Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.993

  • 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 Fenton Kindergarten is based on 12 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
