Overall Experience

My 2 children have been attending Ashbourne since last September! They have come on leaps and bounds since being there. Especially my son who has delayed speech, he is talking so much more now and I truly believe that the nursery and all the staff have helped with this! All the staff members are so

friendly and bubbly; you always arrive to see happy faces in the morning. My son and daughter come home happy every day they attend (sometimes not wanting to leave) and it's great to see as a parent :) The nursery is always clean and the kids get up to plenty of activities throughout the day. Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone!!

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate

It's amazing to hear how much your children have grown since joining us, and especially that your son's speech has come along so well-that kind of progress means everything to us.We're so glad that drop-offs are met with happy faces and that your little ones come home smiling (even if they'd rather stay and play a bit longer!). Our team work hard to create a fun, supportive and nurturing environment, so it's really rewarding to know that's been your experience.Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation.

Overall Experience

Everyone is so friendly and caring, they really connect with the children and get to know them individually. They're a child lead nursery and all of their rooms are open so that your child is not confined to one room, and can integrate with older children. They cook all of their own meals so that every

child has a variety of healthy foods. My little girl settled very quickly and you can tell she trusts all of the ladies at the nursery. She really loves being there and she makes everyone so happy; it makes my husband and I happy and reassured that she's comfortable and cared for.

I am extremely pleased with Ashbourne, they are an amazing nursery with very friendly staff. My daughter loves going & always comes away happy. Her development there in the last 6 months has been brilliant, she does lots of different activities and the updates I get from the staff through the app during

the day as well as at the end of the day are always thorough.
I will be sending my 2nd daughter here too.

Overall Experience

My child has been at the nursery since September and I cannot fault the staff enough for all their support with helping my child settle in and make the transition so easy, especially how nervous he was at the start.
It's lovely to see all the photos and updates on the app we get and can really see

how much joy and excitement my son gets from the nursery. His speech and confidence alone has come on leaps and bounds and it's lovely when we pick him up to see everything that he has got up to.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent, the staff are so thoughtful, kind and caring and go above and beyond for your child. And if you ever have any query or concern they are happy to help.

Overall Experience

I can't recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery enough. The staff are so welcoming, happy and hardworking.
My little girl started in the toddler room and is now in preschool and very much enjoys it. She has seen the setting grow and it's so wonderful to see all the content child when we do collections and

drop offs.
My child can be very clingy but the staff are great to distract her and I know once I have left she settles quickly.
They do such creative and wonderful activities with my daughter she is excited to tell be about at the end of the day.
Nice now the days are sunnier they can all enjoy the large garden too.

Overall Experience

I had my reservations on choosing a nursery over childminder but we have loved Ashbourne! I am a huge worrier and the ladies are so supportive and don't bat an eyelid to my emails and calls to check in! It's a huge transition and we have felt comforted along the way. All of the ladies greet my son with

a smile and by name which I think is so lovely. Full of friendly faces and a warm feeling. Looking forward to watching our little one grow here.

Overall Experience

My son joined in September when he just turned 1 - I cannot rate Ashbourne Day Nursery enough, the ladies here have really aided his development and has come a long way since he first started. He loves the staff and always gives them a big hug when he goes in. I love seeing what he is getting up to

throughout the day via the app through the pictures and updates that are uploaded; and with stay and plays for mothers day, Fathers day and just regular ones throughout the year, I was able to see first hand how happy my son was in the nursery and how he interacts with children his own age! It is definitely a pleasure to see and I would definitely recommend!

Overall Experience

I cannot fault the care that my daughter has received at Ashbourne since starting in January 2025. Her key worker and the wider staff have built fantastic relationships with her, she enjoys going into nursery and always has a big smile on her face. She has also started to build some friendships within

her room and the social aspect of being around other children has been great for her development. Her dad and I love to receive the updates via the nursery app and the staff always debrief about her day at pickup. It's reassuring to, not only find out about the activities she has done, but also the amount of food/milk she has had and when she has napped.
Overall, we are really pleased with the nursery, the care and attention they have shown towards our daughter and the lovely experiences she has had so far.

Overall Experience

My two children have been going to Ashbourne for 4 months now following the unexpected closure of their last nursery. The staff were excellent at helping them settle in during a difficult and confusing time for them. Any concerns I had were put to rest really quickly as the children were soon literally

running into nursery in the mornings!
It's a really friendly nursery with lots of activities for the children to do and plenty of outdoor time. We receive daily feedback and photos through the parentzone app as well as verbal handovers at pick up.

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations Team at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate

Thank you so much for your kind words! We know how challenging it can be to navigate an unexpected nursery change, so it's wonderful to hear that your little ones settled in so quickly and now run in with excitement each morning. That's exactly what we strive for, a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, happy, and eager to learn! It's great to hear that you enjoy the updates through the ParentZone app and the daily handovers at pick-up. Keeping you informed and involved in their day is so important to us. Thank you for your trust and support, it means so much to our team!

My son started in the toddler room in November. The week before his key worker had just started at the nursery and together they have been adjusting to the setting.
He loves his key-worker! The girls in the room are always helping us to manage his behaviour when he gets overwhelmed and we are all working

together to help him with his speech. They are friendly and keep me updated on what hes up to each day. I look forward to parents evening later this month!
