Our daughter used to come here and all teachers were adorable. They were very helpful with the settling in (no tears!), they always shared a few words at pick-up describing how the morning had been like and what special progress our daughter had made on that particular day. They cared about the curriculum
as well: parents' meetings were very detailed and you could see the learning curve of your child on all different areas. We can't recommend enough this nursery!

The Square Nursery School is home away from home for my granddaughter. The staff are like family, and the interactions without a doubt are second to none! Activities, always prepared to stretch my granddaughter's mind and imagination, making her always excited to be there, her hand-eye coordination
improved with ease, not to mention her fine motor skills. The Square Nursery School is truly a Gem. Hard to find, I'm so grateful it exists.

My daughter is truly privileged to have been able to experience this nursery. What makes this place truly amazing is the devotion from the staff. The staff here truly love working with children and it shows. I felt at ease leaving my child there knowing they were truly being cared for, educated, showed
compassion and respect. My daughter formed great friendships and learnt so much here. The staff even assisted me with her fussy eating and toilet training! It was so upsetting when she had to leave as I knew no primary school would ever be able to match up to this nursery.

The Square Nursery School has been a second home for our child, and we owe a lot to the amazing teachers. Their genuine warmth and kindness have had such a positive impact on our child's life. They know every child's personality and interests, and they tailor activities to make learning enjoyable. They
have created a nurturing and fun environment where our little one feels safe and happy. This kind of dedication and personal attention has made The Square Nursery School an exceptional place, and we are so grateful to have found it.

What a perfect place for children to learn and play. I don't even know where to start in explaining how great this nursery is. This nursery has a small, family-like atmosphere, so they know each child's characteristics, developmental stage, and preferences in detail. They show a lot of care and love
for the children. I was very confident it was the right choice after speaking with the headteacher. She had a clear vision and goals for what they wanted to achieve and cared for the children with a well-organized daily schedule.
One of the reasons I chose this nursery was because I could also see they focused on language development through active communication, personal engagement and love which is far different from other nurseries.
After a year and a half, we had to leave this nursery because we moved to another area, which was really sad. My son still says this is his favourite nursery and remembers all the teachers' names.

The Square School Nursery has been an incredible experience for my two sons, who attended from age 2 to 4. The warm, homely environment and dedicated staff created a safe and engaging space and the children looked forward to attending every day.
The exceptional teachers personalized their approach
to meet each child's needs, creating a strong sense of security and belonging. The comprehensive and flexible curriculum promoted cognitive, social, and motor skills through a variety of fun activities such as forest school, excursions out, free play and garden activities.
Communication with parents was excellent, with regular updates and meetings in person keeping us well-informed. Photos were also shared securely on the app. The inclusive atmosphere fostered a strong sense of community, encouraging friendships and social development amongst the children as well as the parent community.
Overall, I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a nursery for their child.

Sending my daughter to the Square Nursery School was one of the best decisions we made for her learning, development, and fun! This environment became a second home for her, where the teachers genuinely cared. She was always engaged in a variety of well-thought-out activities, including cooking, forest
school, paddling pool days, and learning Spanish. The experienced teachers consistently went the extra mile to provide wonderful experiences for the children while building strong relationships with their families. The regular, age-appropriate outings always left my daughter excited to share the fun she had. At the end of each day, the teachers would take a few minutes to update us on how her day went, keeping us involved in her daily experiences.
Thanks to the love, care, and effort we received at the Square, my daughter was more than ready to attend primary school. She made wonderful friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

I sent both my kids to The Square Nursery School and it was the best decision as far as nurseries. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, I felt very comfortable leaving my kids in their hands. Both kids loved their nurseries, they developed academically and socially so well and left fully prepared
for primary school, where the transition was seamless.
The teachers at The Square Nursery School are great at working on the individual needs of each child, and we were able to easily overcome some developmental hurdles with their help.
The facilities are bright and cheerful, with lots of educational and fun activities!
I'm forever thankful to the staff there for taking such good care of my kids.

I sent my 3-year-old daughter to this nursery, after trying out 2 local nurseries prior, but she never settled in them. But when we discovered Square Nursery School via a friend's recommendation I knew the search was over! This is truly the best thing I did for my daughter. She was so happy instantly,
with no tears and excelled in every way here! Feels like home. The garden space is much bigger than any nursery I saw in the area, kids love it and get actively involved in gardening. The teachers get all the credit though. They are passionate for the kids to grow academically and personally - making them fully prepared for primary school! I too made wonderful friends here. Just a delight! 5 stars for this unpresuming nursery.

Both of my children have gone to The Square Nursery School and have experienced happy, individual and fulfilling experiences. They have done a wonderful job of helping our boys develop both academically and emotionally and we really feel the school is an extension from home. The lovely teachers have
always treated our sons like family, and they too feel like family to us.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for The Square 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.977 for The Square Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 The Square Nursery School is based on 11 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 11 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.
