My son settled in really quickly to the setting forming a close attachment to his key worker. He loves all the messy/craft activities they have to offer and we received some lovely Christmas crafts and gifts. They have lots of outdoor space which particularly attracted me to the setting as my son is
very active and loves to run around.

Our son is now 2 and has been going to Hazebrouck Day Nursery full time since he was 4 months old. He absolutely loves it and we couldn't be happier with the care provided by all the team. We've no doubt that his development and social skills are due to his time spent at nursery. They do lots of different
activities and spend a lot of time outdoors which is great. The staff are friendly and helpful and I cannot recommend Hazebrouck highly enough.

Reply from Caroline Hunton, Manager at Hazebrouck Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely feedback, all the children enjoy their time spent outside in the nursery gardens and taking part in Forest School.

They really look after the children here. My daughter’s loving it, and has no complaints when going to school each morning. She’s become really well-mannered as well at such a young age. The school have really supported us through all her growth stages, such as toilet training, change of sleep schedules
and so on.

We have loved using Hazebrouck to look after both of our children from 9 months once a week to several days a week before starting school.
The care they have is wonderful, the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and we are always kept up to date via the app.
The kids have loved all the activities
they have done whilst there and always love their time at nursery.
Highly recommend, thank you as always for all your hard work!

Hazebrouck Day Nursey was great to my daughter, who has some issues with food, including milk allergy and gluten intolerance, and she always was really assisted with that.
Also, by having been born during the pandemic, she had issues with socialisation, which was also well assisted by the nursery
team.
Thank you so much for all. I really recommend Hazebrouck Day Nursery.

A fantastic place to send your child. We are very grateful for the way they care for our child and are developing her skills. She is smiley whenever she sees the staff, and the food she eats at nursery, I feel, is sometimes better than the food my husband and I eat. I would recommend it.

Thank you for reviewing our setting. It's lovely to see your child develop and have positive relationships with the staff.

My 1-year-old and 3.5-year-old joined Hazebrouck in March as the nursery my eldest was at was having staffing issues and didn’t have the capacity for my youngest to join. I was worried about how my eldest would transition but it has gone very smoothly. My children have warmed very quickly to staff and
have also built relationships with staff outside of their rooms. We didn’t have an app at the old nursery but that has really aided the transition, it’s great to see how they are doing throughout the day. I have seen the development of my eldest improve, the learning is fun and diverse but structured and he learns a new song every week. If your child is going through anything particular they support this with learning materials (I.e. potty training books). There are opportunities to join your child such as a Mother’s Day tea. It is more expensive than our last nursery but worth it for the extras we are getting.

Our daughter started attending Hazebrouck Day Nursery just a couple of months ago, and we're already seeing the benefits. She's showing great development with her motor skills, she's now eating a greater variety of foods and textures, and she's learning a lot through playing with the other children
and staff. Her confidence is growing, and after initially feeling very nervous about sending my child to nursery I am now confident and reassured that she is well looked after and enjoying herself. The app is great for checking up on your child throughout the day, and the staff are very responsive to any queries and letting parents know what they are teaching the children each week. The nursery is clean and has a lovely outdoor space, which is great to see the children using now the weather is improving. I also look forward to being able to attend more of their special events for parents & children.

Great set up. Our daughter attended Hazebrouck Day Nursery since she was 10 months old up until she was 4 years old. Without hesitation and second thoughts, we enrolled our 7-month-old son. He has adjusted really well and loves it. Great job team Hazebrouch.

Our boy started at Hazebrouck Day Nursery when he was nearly one year old, after only a short time at the nursery we saw him making progress in all areas of his development, we love the app keeping us updated throughout the day, and the staff put on photos of activities they are doing. The staff respond

We are so happy with this nursery. It is small and friendly, and all of the staff know the names of all of the children. The children have lots of space both inside and out, and seem to spend lots of time outside. They use the app regularly, which means we know what the children have been up to. As
well as the regular nappy changes, naps and meals there are also regular photo updates of the activities the children have done, and observations of particular things our children have done, which we love! Also a termly parents' evening/phone call to keep in touch. I'm amazed at how much our daughter (now in the pre-school room) is learning: she is constantly talking about and doing new things at home that I know she has learnt at nursery. They do lots of learning about current events e.g. Chinese New Year, Diwali, Guy Fawkes', Remembrance Day, and do special events alongside these too e.g. a nativity play (which we were able to watch) and a bonfire party. Highly recommend!

My daughter started nursery during Covid and had never been left with anyone so we were really nervous. The staff were amazing with helping to settle in and reassure us. She quickly realised how much she loves going and now rushes off to play when we drop her off.
The staff are really friendly and
welcoming and it’s so lovely to see our daughter enjoying herself.
I feel her learning has really come along since going.
Having use of the app is also such a huge benefit and we really enjoy seeing her daily updates. Thank you so much.

Our daughter started at Hazebrouck Day Nursery a few weeks ago, after we moved to the area. We were quite nervous about changing nurseries as she was so settled at her previous nursery, however, the nursery manager put us at ease with her starting. All the staff in the nest room have been great at welcoming
her in and putting us at ease as parents. My daughter is happy to go into nursery every day and she always has the best days! The outdoor space at Hazebrouck Day Nursery is amazing and perfect for our little one who loves being outside. Highly recommend Hazebrouck Day Nursery!

We looked at a lot of nurseries before choosing Hazebrouck Day Nursery. Our little one was supposed to start in The Nest Room just before the first lockdown, we had to unfortunately postpone her start date, the staff were wonderful and very understanding. Fast forward nine months and we finally started
in The Pioneers Room. Our little one absolutely loves going to nursery! The team were so caring with both of us during those first few wobbly weeks. Now I don’t even get a look in when we drop off, as the excitement of friends and the nursery team are there waiting. Our little one has thrived and we can see the changes daily in what has been taught, played, read and painted. I love the app that keeps me updated with the basic information, along with observations on her progress and development. I would highly recommend this nursery to all parents.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.888) out of 10 for Hazebrouck Day Nursery 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.958 for Hazebrouck Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 3.93 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hazebrouck Day Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.33

  • 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.
