An amazing nursery with a nurturing environment. The staff are so kind and helpful! My son feels so safe at the nursery and has shown so much growth in his communication skills. Great organisation. Thank you.

My baby started at 10 months with Goldilocks Nursery (Folkestone). It is such a lovely nursery, the staff are super sweet and send really nice updates regularly. I feel as though they have taken the time to really get to know my little one and he seems happy to be there. I was nervous to leave my little
one but the staff made me feel so much better. He seems to be progressing and doing lots of fun things.

Exceptional Care at Goldilocks - A Parent's Dream!
As a first-time mum, I was nervous about leaving my 10-month-old in the care of others, but from day one Goldilocks has completely exceeded my expectations. It's a brand new nursery to Folkestone, they have taken time to create a lovely setting and
hire amazing staff. The baby room staff are absolutely incredible - super caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to the well-being of the babies. They are always smiling, giving one-on-one attention and showing patience and warmth. They navigated teething and illness issues really well (my daughter had four new teeth the first month which was difficult for everyone!). They have also spent time quickly learning my daughter's likes, dislikes and quirks. It's also wonderful to receive regular updates and photos of my baby's day through the app, which reassures me that they are in great hands. I can't recommend Goldilocks enough for parents seeking a place for their little one.

Our little boy struggled with the transition when starting nursery, but the super kind and friendly staff soon helped him to feel at home. He now happily wants to go into the nursery setting to play. I can not recommend the staff enough for their commitment to each child. I feel very confident leaving
my child in their capable hands. The nursery is clean, warm, inviting and safe.
The updates through the nursery app are also a great way of finding out what our child has been up to on the day. The children are offered snacks throughout the day which is a definite win for our child! Great communication with the office management too when it came to enrolling our child and any further questions we had.

Amazing nursery, everyone is always very happy and brilliant with the children. My child loves going there and is really happy to be left, making it easy to drop off. The updates are always through and given regularly throughout the day so you can keep a track of your child if you are worried. I would
100% recommend this nursery!

My child (under 2) has attended Goldilocks since it opened. My partner and I have been impressed with how they've scaled up in that time. They've expanded their role, staff, and facilities while maintaining a high-quality experience for our child. They've created a sense of community through their consistent
communication (including through the use of the app for up-to-the-minute updates) and the occasional parent day. Our child's key person takes an interest in her development and is always eager to share progress. And sometimes their friendly reminders even help us look at certain things in a different way that we take into our home life. I recommend Goldilocks Nursery to any parent who needs a space for their little one.

A gorgeous setting with excellent staff. They got to know my son very quickly and the care he receives is outstanding. My kid has flourished since starting at Goldilocks and he is always excited to go in the morning. Couldn't recommend it more!

Brilliant nursery and staff, accommodating for my child's dietary needs and our son has made lots of great friends and always talks about the key workers.
I love the facilities and outdoor area that is covered as well so they can get fresh air whilst it's raining.

My child started in September 2024. I love that they did a settling-in time before she started, during this time they asked me to give as much information as I could to help them to get to know my child. In the beginning, my child was obviously upset about being away from me for the first time and I
think Goldilocks dealt with it really well, letting me know and keeping me updated in the day by using the app. I love seeing the activity they have done. They give good feedback when I pick my child up and recently they have done a stay-and-play where I got to go in and see my child in that environment. There were some lovely set-up activities and was nice seeing my child at nursery. The nursery is always clean and they provide lots of snacks which is nice as my child can be fussy. My child is always happy to leave me in the morning and always happy when I pick her up. The team of ladies are wonderful as well and very professional.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.898) out of 10 for Goldilocks Nursery (Folkestone) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.898 for Goldilocks Nursery (Folkestone) is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Goldilocks Nursery (Folkestone) is based on 14 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. We do not have a record of how many number of registered child places this Day Nursery has thus a score for this part is not attainable.

  • 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.
