Nursery on the Hill, rated Good by Ofsted (August 2024), offers a welcoming and secure setting where each child is nurtured and stimulated.

To ensure each child feels safe and happy during their time at the nursery, the team work closely with families. The nursery also has a 'key person' system. This means that each member of staff has a group of children for whom she/he is particularly responsible for. Your child's key person will be the person who works with you to make sure that what is provided is right for your child's particular needs and interests.

The team believe that learning and care should start the moment a child joins the nursery and each is offered child and adult led activities and daily routines to help promote their learning and development.

Our daughter is thriving at NOTH and we are so grateful for the support she receives.
She comes home telling us about all the fun and exciting things she gets up to.
We love that a visual par of the nursery day is exploring the community outside of the nursery gates and we love how caring the staff
are.

My children are both so, so happy at NOTH and we couldn't be happier with the levels of care. My daughters physical developer (motor skills) has come on leaps and bounds thanks to her key worker and my son's preshool learning is excellent thanks to his key worker. Overall we are so happy with the care
at NOTH.

My son has had a brilliant time at Nursery on the Hill. The activities for school readiness have set him up really well to start school and to enjoy learning. He also thoroughly enjoys the regular outings. He loves the staff and counts them amongst the people he loves. More updates of what is done during
the day would be appreciated and also would be nice to have communication on actions taken to address disruptive behavior by other children. Also fees have consistently gone up without increase in care provided. If he wasn't starting school we would have to leave due to fees.

The nursery is absolutely fantastic. All the staff ae so kind, caring and dedicated. The amount of choice in activities and food is exceptional. My child has absolutely thrived here. My child is really enjoying preparing for school learning letters of his name and numbers. The children have lots of
opportunities to go on days out with their peers either to the park, playground, library, care home or forest school. I am so thankful to each and everyone of the staff and would highly recommend to other parents.

We have been using NOTH as our nursery provider for the last four & a half years with two children who both progressed from baby room to pre-school. The nursery staff are extremely nurturing knows each child well. They go above & beyond with extra-curriculars like forest school, visiting local town
& care homes & take part in a number of enriching activities, preparing the children for school. We couldn't be happier. Thanks to all at NOTH!

Our child has been with NOTH for more than 12 months and we couldn't be happier.
The staff are incredible and our daughter has bonded so well with them all, and talks about them all the time at home. The range of activities and learning that they provide is phenomenal and our daughter's development
is really noticeable as a result of being at NOTH.
We are so happy and so is our child with everything at NOTH.

My experience with this nursery has been fantastic so far. The staff have been so attentive to the individual needs of my baby and making sure the settling in period was as smooth and stress free for my baby as possible. My baby has formed such a lovely bond with his key worker and I feel so happy leaving
him with the staff each day as I know he is very well cared for by a lovely team.


They provide me with plenty of updates throughout the day and I can see that they are doing such varied activities with the children each day and I know they're having so much fun and having the opportunity to feed their curiosities.

My Daughter has recently started at Nursery On The Hill. I can honestly say it has been an amazing experience so far for my daughter and for us as parents. All my daughter's carers in the baby room are so caring, loving, attentive and kind. My daughter was assigned a key person who is absolutely wonderful.
She helped my daughter to settle in and is able to meet all her needs and help her to thrive in her environment. It's lovely to receive the feedback during the nursery day. Even though my daughter has been given a key person all the other staff members have a lovely connection with her and make the effort to know her which is just fantastic. All the children look happy. It's very clean and spacious for the children to explore. All the staff are knowledgeable and able to answer any questions and as a first time mum I had a lot. The Management Team are very approachable and very helpful.
Absolutely fantastic, amazing, wonderful nursery who genuinely love and care for all the children

Excellent service. Our child is growing and learning through the activities at Nursery on the Hill and comes out with all sorts of clever things that we certainly didn't teach him at home! The staff are really friendly and obviously care a lot for the kids.

We've been exceptionally happy with sending our daughter to Nursery on the Hill. The baby room team were very supportive when she settled in at 8 months and now, a year later, it's a challenge to get her to leave at the end of the day, she loves it there so much! The team are attentive, caring and proactive.
They create a warm, friendly, caring, compassionate, and respectful environment for the children to thrive. Our daughter not only has great fun, and looks forward to going every morning, but she's learning so much. I'm amazed at the creative and practical activities they do daily; the team really get the kids engaged, even in baking muffins for their nursery friends. They also pay attention to each child's learning needs and have tailored activities to help our daughter develop her walking, balance and communication skills over time. We also really like getting weekly meal plans (which look yum!), weekly themes, daily reports and lots of photos throughout the day.

We are so pleased with how our little boy (20 months) is getting on at Nursery On The Hill. He absolutely loves all of the key workers in the baby room and it's amazing seeing his development week by week. He loves going in each day (he is full-time) and rushes through the door to find out what they
have in store for him that day. The weekly themes are really varied and everyone goes to such huge efforts to bring the theme alive. We are so happy we chose this nursery for him and would highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Nursery on the Hill 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.861 for Nursery on the Hill is calculated as follows: ( (313 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.861

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery on the Hill is based on 30 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
