The Early Years Practitioners at Coombe Day Nursery believe in offering the children the best educational, fun and caring start during their early years. The nursery provides educational equipment and activities to help further the children's learning and development (in accordance with the statutory framework, the Early Years Foundation Stage).

Coombe Day Nursery offers full day care with all-inclusive fees. These include well-balanced meals and snacks, which follow the healthy food and drink guidelines, additional classes, nappies, wipes, milks and more! Coombe Day Nursery offers a stimulating environment and supports the children in learning through their play.

These training skills are especially needed for the lovely outings the children go on! The children also enjoy a variety of small world play, natural material play, sensory play and focus activities (following all the EYFS areas of learning). Children also participate in external classes; music and drama, tennis, French class, yoga and other activities. These all contribute towards their fun learning environment. Richmond Park is also near the nursery, meaning regular woodland trips.

COVID-19 training has also been completed by all nursery staff and are following their Early Years system of controls.

Quite simply we are very happy with Coombe Day Nursery. Our children love it, the teachers, room leader and manager are all amazing at their jobs and you can tell they love the children. It's great to see such engaged staff across the board, and the children are so excited to talk about all the wonderful
things they do at nursery, alongside their little friends.
I admire the way the nursery manager has handled situations arising from day to day running of the nursery during various lockdowns and now during the ongoing pandemic.

My son has attended Coombe Day Nursery for the first time at the beginning of this year and he loves it. The activities and play are always well thought out, and at the end of the day and the photos we see you can tell he has had a wonderful day. The team are very caring and hard workers and this is
reflected in how well settled and happy the children are. The management team are very open and welcoming and happy to help. All around amazing service.

What can I say, a wonderful nursery! All the staff are well trained in the field of childcare. They have individual action plans for each child and will keep you informed of how well your child is doing. The manager of the nursery runs a tight ship. And it's so clear that they really love the children
and that their safety is the most important thing to them. We were just so super lucky that our son went to this nursery and could not be happier. Now that he's moved on to school, we will miss this place so much.

Our daughter has attended Coombe Day since she was 1 year old and we have always found the staff caring and supportive. We’ve always liked that it is a small, personal nursery and we have found the recent change in manager a positive one.

Coombe Day Nursery has given both my children an excellent start in life. All staff are very friendly and focused on the child’s development as well as embracing a child’s personality.


The layout of the nursery gives a very small community feel.


The manager is very open with questions and concerns.


I

highly recommend the nursery.

Coombe Day Nursery offers a wonderful, safe and creative environment for my son. I am continually impressed with the staff and their level of care and attention.
My son's social development and imaginative play had increased significantly since he started at Coombe Day Nursery. He loves the staff and
talks about them at home.

We have 2 children at the nursery and they have been taught so much in terms of social and academic skills. We are very happy with them attending the nursery and so are the children. The staff have been understanding, enthusiastic and caring. Fresh meals prepared at the site and the kids get to try
a variety of different foods which I would never thought of and weekly activities which the kids look forward to.
I would recommend the nursery as they care about the kids and the staff seems happy and want to be there.

I highly recommend Coombe Day Nursery to any parent. It provides a safe and fun learning environment for all young children. The staff are all extremely friendly and caring and the range of activities provided is excellent, including a variety of outside classes such as music and movement, tennis etc,
as well as occasional outings to the park, library, shops etc. There is also outdoor play each day in the small but safe and enclosed garden, which always has lots of activities going on.


Communications with the management are easy and friendly and parents are kept well informed about the nursery as a whole by regular email, as well as their own child by the online Tapestry system. The on-site chef provides a range of meals and snacks for the children which both of mine seem to enjoy! The location is also ideal for commuters.

Our twins have attended this nursery since 2013, they were 11months old and it was scary to leave them with someone else.
Coombe Day Nursery staff made them very welcome and assured me, by their actions that it was OK to go back to work and that our twins were safe, clean, fed, entertained and cuddled
a lot.
They have progressed tremendously and are ready for school, thank you to all teachers and staff for the fantastic care and education.
Our twins are always happy to go to nursery and love it!

All 3 of our children are in/been through Coombe and it is a great nursery. One of my children has additional needs and they are open to external specialists coming in to support. The staff have been wonderful and supportive from everyday personnel and deputy - overall management can be slightly removed,
but fine. I would highly recommend.

Coombe is such a lovely place, being a first-time mum leaving her little one in the nursery, the team at Coombe made me feel very comfortable. The little one loves attending, the days are varied and they keep you up to date with activities via an online app - great for mums on the go! Would highly recommend,
my little one loves it.

I have had children at CDN (Coombe Day Nursery) for the last 6 years. I have to admit the convenience of Norbiton Station was my main draw. Both my boys have felt happy and loved at the nursery and my 6-year-old talks about the staff with great affection (he's obviously moved on now). My 3-year-old
is always happy playing when I collect him and frequently chats on the way home about something fun he did that day. I'm always delighted when I realise by his chat and actions what he's been learning.

A friendly, well run nursery with professional and happy staff.
The proximity to the train station makes it a very popular choice with working families, demand is very high.
Due to its urban location outside space is limited but the children regularly take trips to Richmond Park and town centre
etc...
All round a positive experience.

My little one has attended Coombe Day Nursery since she was 12 months old. She initially started in the baby room and has progressed and now enjoys the interaction with staff and her friends in the toddler room. Coombe have been fantastic at supporting our daughter, both with her physical, emotional
and educational development. Coombe offers a safe, supportive and friendly environment to play, learn and explore.


The nursery have external providers who come in twice a week to ensure the little ones remain interested and engaged in the EYFS. The nursery itself has a little outdoor play area with slides and tunnels to explore and the children have regular outdoor sessions each day.


Staff at the nursery are all friendly and approachable and we have been very impressed with the children’s menu, offering healthy and nutritious meals, and often providing two hot meals a day.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.559)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.559) out of 10 for Coombe Day Nursery Ltd 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.896 for Coombe Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 4.663 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Coombe Day Nursery Ltd is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.8 = 0.763

  • 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.
