My little one has been going to Poppies since she was 9 months old, she is now 2 years old. From the very first day, the staff have gone above and beyond. They cater activities to the needs and interests of the children and she always comes home happy. She has built up strong relationships with the
staff members and often talks positively about them at home, especially her key worker. She has progressed so much and it is thanks to the support and the caring environment they offer. I strongly recommend Poppies and cannot thank them enough for everything that they have done for our family.

My little girl has been coming to Poppies since she was 8 months old, the staff and care are fantastic and they've gone above and beyond to make sure she's settled in and is happy! The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and they always do fun activities to help them learn and develop. My little
one has come on leaps and bounds since starting and I’m so pleased I decided to send her here, such a relief to know she's happy and cared for to such a high standard! Thanks Poppies Team!

Both my girls have been going to Poppies Child Care since they were 9 months old. They both absolutely love Poppies and all the team who work there. They have worked so hard to make my girls feel comfortable and cared for. The meals, care and activities at Poppies are amazing and my girls always come
home with wonderful things.
I will be genuinely gutted when my eldest leaves for school in September. Thank you again to all the wonderful team.

My daughter has been coming to Poppies since she was around 9 months (now aged 2) and she has always loved it. From the first visit as a family we felt instantly at ease at Poppies and knew it was the nursery for us. She is always happy and excited to go to nursery and take part in their different activities.
The staff at Poppies are excellent with their communication with parents too.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.208)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.208) out of 10 for Poppies Child Care 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 4.2 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 Poppies Child Care 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 4.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Poppies Child Care 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.833

  • 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.
