How authentic are the reviews on the daynurseries website?

Are they checked for authenticity or is this just the nursery manager leaving fake 5 star reviews?

Do not trust any reviews. Because of the type of work I used to do I get offers from companies to provide positive reviews. I have refused every time though will accept jobs where I am asked to provide an honest review.

Yeah I wouldn't believe it. I used to work at a school that had quite a few bad reviews. They deleted the page, made a new one and the wife of the headmaster left a positive review 😂😂

Much better to ask on Next Door

School parrot is pretty good. They verify reviews

I did a daynursery review - for my ds nursery there was some kind of verification from what I remember - but I dont think it would prevent fake reviews entirely.

I've done a genuine one on daynurseries and I recognise a couple of parent names on there too so they definitely aren't completely fake! As to the ratio of real to not I don't know but there wasn't a great deal of checking that I was a bone fide parent before it got posted...

The village/town Facebook group is always a good place to do a search for mentions of a couple that you might be interested in... One near us that's outstanding (from about a million years ago but they still rest on it of course) regularly gets slated when people ask directly on our local group.
