My daughter started attending The Red Brick Day Nursery - Kingswell Road after an emergency change of circumstances left us without childcare. The manager went above and beyond to help us, and get my daughter settled in as quickly and carefully as they could to ensure she was able to adapt. The staff
are so welcoming, and even after only a few full weeks they all recognise me, and my daughter comes home glowing every single day. Her key worker is absolutely fabulous, knows her inside out and is really supportive in getting my daughter exposed to all kinds of foods and imaginative play. I genuinely couldn't have found a more helpful, caring place for my daughter - and wish we had known of them sooner. I would and already have recommended them to anyone. We are so grateful they are part of our daughter's journey in childcare!

My kids really love the nursery, they get very excited when they know we are going to the nursery. The staff there are amazing as well, very considerate and my kids are comfortable around them. The nursery itself is beautiful, full of toys and many other activities for kids. They also have a lovely
garden which is great for my kids since we live in a flat.

The staff are absolutely brilliant. They work closely to ensure my child is safe and happy at nursery. They communicate with me at the end of each day to tell me what my child has been up to and have helped me with questions I have had about his development. My son loves going to The Red Brick. He has
formed a lovely bond with all the staff around him. It is a lovely setting with lots of educational toys for the children to choose from.

Kingswell Road Nursery is set back from the road in an older part of Kingsthorpe village, it is very easily accessible and there is usually roadside parking out the front. The building inside is very clean and has been refurbished to a high standard. The waiting room past the front door is decorated
with seasonal items and makes for a very professional yet inviting entrance. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel at ease, and it feels like a home from home. The rooms are cleaned to a very high standard but are full of lots of things to look at and play with. The staff have paid a lot of attention to detail when setting the nursery up and it's absolutely beautiful in all three rooms. Each different room full of lots of age-appropriate things to play with, but still offering a natural and earthy feel which is what we were looking for. The outside area has a mud kitchen and play area and activity stations. Amazing nursery and lovely staff!

Reply from Jacky Bufton, Operations Director at The Red Brick Day Nursery - Kingswell Road

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.709)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.709) out of 10 for The Red Brick Day Nursery - Kingswell Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.923 for The Red Brick Day Nursery - Kingswell Road is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.923

  • 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 4.786 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Red Brick Day Nursery - Kingswell Road 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.786

  • 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.
