I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! From the moment you walk in, you can see how much the staff genuinely care for the children-they treat them like their own, creating a warm, nurturing, and safe environment. Every member of the team is outstanding, always going above and beyond to ensure
each child feels valued, supported, and happy.


The learning opportunities here are fantastic. The staff are incredibly skilled at engaging the children in fun, educational activities that help them grow in confidence and ability. It's amazing to see how much progress they make while having such a great time!


The food is another highlight-thanks to the brilliant chef, the meals are nutritious, delicious, and well-balanced, ensuring the children are well-fed and energized throughout the day.


If you're looking for a nursery that provides exceptional care, a fantastic learning experience, and a true home-from-home atmosphere, this is the place to be!

I have had one granddaughter at the nursery that went off to school in 2024 and now have another two that have joined, so have experienced all the rooms within the nursery. The nursery staff are continuously developing the setting everyday, the front of the nursery looks fabulous. The staffing team
always greet us with a snails when we arrive and make sure we have a detailed account of the children's day. The team are always ready to help when needed and answer any questions when asked.


We highly recommend Ashbourne Oxley Park to anyone looking for a nursery that goes the extra mile

We wouldn’t be overstating it to call the team part of our extended family!
They’ve looked after our two kids over an 8 year period and we are immensely grateful for the professionalism, attention to detail, and most importantly the loving care shown to our kids. Each child is treated as an individual
and the team go above and beyond to ensure each child develops confidence and a strong character at their own pace and in their own way.
We’d highly recommend this to any parent looking for a safe and trusted environment for their kids to develop in the early years.
Thank you! Wishing you all the best!

I can't praise this nursery enough, they have helped my grandson settle in quickly after a very disruptive time in his life. Management and staff have gone above and beyond to make this very stressful and emotional time in his life, a little easier. He comes home and tells me all about his day, especially
enjoying the garden area. I would recommend this nursery to friends and feel confident that the best care is given.

I cannot express how happy we are with the care and dedication our little boy has received since joining this year. Days at Ashbourne Day Nurseries are full of fun, laughter and lots of engaging activities.
The whole team are friendly and approachable, it's clear to see they are committed to all the
children.
Choosing a nursery is a huge decision and being first-time parents we really struggled but all the team at Ashbourne were so understanding and patient with everything.
I never thought I'd see the day my little boy would wave goodbye with no tears, he loves being at this nursery and that's a huge relief off my mind knowing he is safe and being well looked after.
Special shoutout to the wonderful ladies in the baby room who have not only supported his continued development but also helped encourage and support our weaning journey too. It's been amazing seeing him change and grow. These ladies are an absolute credit to this nursery and honestly feel like an extension of our own family.

If I could give the staff and manager at Oxley Park 6* (Stars) I definitely would!
The team are great with our son, extremely helpful with any queries we have and very informative with our child's progress and how his day has been within the day nursery.
We have a restricted dietary plan for our
son, and the manager at Oxley Park and the chef, have been extremely accommodating with this at all meal times, and keep us informed at what meals he has/has not been eating, which is great to know.
We can tell our son is having a great time at Ashbourne Day Nursery and is always excited to go inside when the staff open door and greet him.

Our son has been attending Ashbourne Day Nursery, Oxley Park since he was 10 months old and we would highly recommend them. From the very first settling in session, they have all been so kind and patient. Now a toddler, I’m so impressed and grateful with all they do for him. The range of planned activities,
outdoor playtime and lovely choice of on-site cooked food is brilliant. We are so grateful to them for providing a safe, secure and happy place for our son.

My little boy is 4 and has been attending Ashbourne Day Nurseries since he was 10 months old. We are extremely pleased with the nursery and the best way for us to gauge the level of care is the smile on his face when he enters and sees a member of staff each morning. The employees at the nursery know
each child by name regardless of which room they are working in and it is nice to see the same faces that were there when he was a baby are still working there 3 years later. We know that he is thriving at the nursery by the facts, arts and little stories that he talks to us about each evening. I would recommend this nursery to any of my friends.

Our older son is already attending the nursery and has been for over 3 years and we had no hesitation in sending our next baby to the nursery when he was 11 months old. Even with the Covid-19 restrictions meaning we were restricted in how much time we could spend with our baby in the room to conduct
the settling-in times, the process of settling our baby was very successful. It is a difficult time to send a baby to nursery and the staff at Ashbourne were great at making him feel welcome and settling our emotions. They got to know our baby's character quite quickly and take the time in the evenings to tell us about his day. The updates on the app are great and give us peace of mind that he is happy during the day. It is really nice that the same key person is responsible for our baby that was responsible for his older brother when he was a baby. Over the 3 years, the nursery has maintained its level of care and we are happy that our boys are in a safe and happy environment.

My 4-year-old started in the preschool room with Ashbourne at Oxley Park in late August 2020. I have been absolutely blown away with the place in all honesty. From the menu to the staff, his key person and the 'open door' approach from all staff but especially the manager and 3 members of staff in particular.
My son is so happy there and is always coming home with details of his activities and adventures from that day. He settled very quickly and formed attachments to staff just as quickly. His needs for outside time is met regardless of the weather too, which was very important to me. Staff have bent over backwards to accommodate my son and his additional needs including his effortful swallow and the medication needed for that. I know he's safe, well looked after and loved. That for me is everything. Thank you girls so much.

Ashbourne Day Nursery at Oxley is a very good nursery. The staff are very lovely and dedicated to their jobs. Even during the pandemic, they worked tirelessly to provide a normal and fun atmosphere for the children. My daughter started attending the nursery when she was 9 months. She was very attached
to me and I was very nervous about going back to work and leaving her at nursery. Fast forward 3 years later, my daughter is very happy at this nursery. She has blossomed into a confident child and I thank the lovely staff at this nursery for this. And now I am happy for my 6-month-old will be starting at the same nursery.

My daughter has been attending Ashbourne Day Nurseries since she was 2 and a half and is now in the preschool room. She loves going to preschool and I love hearing about all that she has done in her day. Be it painting, counting and her ABC to playing with babies and hairdressing. Being an only child,
her interaction with other children is a big part of her development and to hear her talking about her friends and the ladies that are encouraging her to play with other fills my heart with joy. I also have to praise the team for all the extra hard work they have to do in these current times, to keep our babies safer than ever.

I'm a father of two children that have attended your Oxley Park nursery, one of which is still currently with you. Our son moved to first school September 2020 and his transition was made a lot smoother with massive support from the nursery send-co, she ensured the school knew everything there was to
know about my son and that measures were put in place to make sure he settled with ease. Our daughter attended from September 2020 and couldn't be happier, she has settled well and is achieving beyond her age. On collection, the staff will give me a complete break down of her day with an added personal touch and not just your standard "been ok today". During the pandemic, the nursery have put their all into keeping the children and nursery safe and their standards have never faltered we are regularly updated about the changes in government guidance via social media, newsletters and Eylog which puts my mind at ease knowing my child is in a safe and secure environment.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.312)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.312) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 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 4.991 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.991

  • 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 4.321 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park 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 107 number of registered child places is 21.4. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.4 = 0.421

  • 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.
