My son has been attending Hazebrouck for 18-months and settled in so well from day one. He was so happy to go through the door in the mornings as he was greeted with such kind, friendly staff in all areas of the nursery. I was confident even from my first visit that he would be well looked after, loved
and inspired by the staff. Each room setting feels safe, clean and dedicated to the children, and there is a great range of resources available. My son loves the outside space, and the nursery always does whatever they can to ensure the children get outside most days. I am only moving on from the setting due to a change in childcare needs but will be returning with my second child in the next 6-months. I would like to thank everyone for their help and support during our time at the nursery, and would highly recommend the setting to families

My son has been at Hazebrouck for just short of a year. We were concerned about him moving nurseries due to us relocating but we needn’t have worried. He settled into Hazebrouck straight away which was certainly helped by the friendly staff whom he formed a relationship with very quickly. My son has
loved his time at Hazebrouck and has really developed over the last year and with all the preparation Hazebrouck have done, he is certainly school ready.

Reply from Kirsty Cordery, Manager at Hazebrouck Day Nursery

Thank you for your review. I'm so glad that your son enjoyed his time at Hazebrouck and you feel he settled well with our friendly team. I'm also pleased you feel he is school ready and I wish him all the best in his new adventures at school.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for two years now and she loves it. She is well cared for and clearly enjoys her time here from the amount she talks about her day on the way home. Moving to full-time work from part-time in September is a lot easier for me and her father knowing she enjoys
her days here so much. The staff have been brilliant all the way through the lockdown and have kept us in the loop at every point. The systems they currently have in place work well and we are reassured they are as safe as can be at this current time. Thank you.

My daughter attended Hazebrouck Day Nursery for three-and-half years, from fifteen months old until nearly five years old and she has loved every minute of it. The staff are so caring and friendly that we have felt like they are part of our extended family and we have never had any second thoughts about
sending her into the nursery. They have done so much more than we could have ever done at home for her, expanding her knowledge of the world, preparing her for school, helping and encouraging her to be social and make friends, and supporting her to be more independent. My daughter talks constantly about how much she enjoys being at nursery, the activities and constant entertainment, the diverse food she eats (most of which she wouldn't even try at home) and all of her lovely friends and teachers. We are really sad that the time has come to move on from Hazebrouck but they have helped to make the transition to school so much easier. Thank you to everyone for everything you've done for us.

Reply from Kirsty Cordery, Manager at Hazebrouck Day Nursery

Our baby son has been at Hazebrouck for nearly a month now, and he loves it.
He smiles from when he arrives in the car park to when we collect him in the evening, to be honest, I am rather offended!
The team at Hazebrouck have made him feel welcome and at ease. Knowing he is so settled and enjoying
all the activities at nursery, has really helped my transition back into work.
Our son has come on leaps and bounds since he has been at nursery, as a natural people watcher, he is in his element.
Thank you so much to the ladies at Hazebrouck.

Both my 2-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son attend Hazebrouck and I am so happy with how they have settled in. Our previous nursery for my daughter was nowhere near as good as here and I am so relieved the whole team are so great.
From being shown around the nursery to settling in days and through
to every day now, everyone has been so welcoming and supportive. Not only do they have amazing rooms, but the staff are also so attentive and really got to know both the children right away. They do loads of activities both inside and outside and eat lots of nutritious meals and snacks.
They've helped with potty training for my eldest, and changing of naps and feeds for my youngest. They have also been really good with dealing with his allergies and made me feel at ease that it was all under control.
The app with updates is also great!
I feel confident that they'll be given the best start here, and I can't thank you all enough for everything you do!

Our son started at Hazebrouck in January, having just turned 10-months and has settled in brilliantly. Within days; he was in a great routine which saw him sleeping through the night for the first time! The transition days were a massive help and really filled us with confidence that his care was the
top priority. The staff are all amazing; take the time to report back through the app, which means we get an almost real-time update every day. Having seen our 5-year-old attend a different nursery for 4-years, we were unsure if another could be as good, but I have to say there is no doubt Hazebrouck and all the staff are just as good. Truly thankful that we have Hazebrouck on our doorstep and highly recommend.

Our son joined Hazebrouck when he was 11-months-old and now three months in, he absolutely loves it. He has loads of fun every day and has really bonded with the staff. He also sleeps and eats really well there. We really enjoy finding out what the kids have been up to every week and it’s great that
there are so many fun and varied activities for him to join in with. The weekly developmental assessments with photos are always wonderful to receive, and we are sure that being at nursery has helped him make progress with things like learning to crawl.
We would not hesitate to recommend the nursery.

Our daughter joined Hazebrouck in September at the age of 9-months-old. We were concerned about her being so little, but the staff at Hazebrouck made us feel at ease with their professionalism with our daughter. The settling in days helped our daughter to get comfortable to the new environment and the
new routine, so when she began her full days, she was one happy child. The staff have been extremely impressive in helping her with her developmental skills, from playing with other children to following instructions. The staff are brilliant at sharing valuable information about our daughter and any changes within the nursery. We are very happy with our choice of nursery and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you for making this transition very easy for us.

My son started attending Hazebrouck back in August when he was about 9-months-old. From the start they have been fantastic. They helped him settle in and get used to the nursery setting without mummy so gently and were full of suggestions for things that might help.
He now walks in happily and has
clearly made strong connections with the staff. His development is really impressive, he feeds himself, tries to put on his coat and shoes and always that’s Ta.
The food is fresh and varied and the activities are enjoyable for him. I am so pleased we chose Hazebrouck. He is always happy and having fun. I have had to increase the number of days I work recently and he seems so happy there that I haven’t worried about it.

My two year old started in January for only one day a week and we were worried she wouldn’t settle in very well, but she absolutely loves it. She’s still upset when she’s dropped off but her key worker is brilliant in reassuring her - as well as another member of staff, she talks about them both a lot
at home! The manager, was fantastic with all my queries and helping us get everything set up. I fell in love with this place as soon as I got there, I love the forest school and all the outdoor space for the children as well as the lovely rooms with free play and the activities they do. The staff are so lovely and friendly. They upload everything throughout the day on the portal and it’s great to see and read what she’s been getting up to. Would 100% recommend.

It was daunting choosing a nursery for my child, however, the moment I walked through the door, I was made to feel at ease, my son absolutely adores the staff and freely runs to them, the staff made it easier on drop-offs and I was always informed of his day at pick up, the staff are amazing at communication,
the parent zone informed me of my son's day with nap time, food and pictures and the weekly emails informed me of the upcoming events and what they plan on the following week. I highly recommend this nursery.

10/10. My child has flourished in this lovely scenic woodland type/cosy environment, surrounded by a peaceful setting, with two big preschool play gardens to choose from. Inside the nursery is full of space with plenty of room for the children to develop and learn without feeling they are on top of
one another.
Staff are fabulous, dedicated and great leaders for the little ones. Communication to parents is amazing with a useful online portal allowing us to track their child's day from what they have eaten to what activities they've done.
The choice of activities is plentiful and I love the fact the children are taught responsibilities; helping set for lunch, serve lunch, prepare the lunch or tea, along with life skills like putting their own coats on, socks, shoes, etc.
As a family, we really have enjoyed our time here. I would struggle to find any fault at all. Our child is happy all the time and has plenty to tell us at the end of the day. Thanks and credit to all the staff and management at Hazebrouck.

This nursery has offered an excellent place of care for my child. It can always be daunting choosing where to leave your child but if you do choose Hazebrouck you can guarantee they will feel safe, be well cared for and of course, thrive. The nursery is well managed with new ideas constantly being introduced
to keep learning themes current and interesting, there are always well thought about activities available for the children. The French lessons with Madame have been a wonderful extra, really an amazing opportunity for the children to have at such a young age. I will miss visiting Hazebrouck every day now as my child moves on to school, but would 100% recommend to anyone looking for childcare in the area!

Our daughter has been at Hazebrouck 11 months and is very happy there. We have found all the staff to be very caring and our daughter settled in very well and formed good attachments with them. There are always plenty of educational activities going on and at Christmas, we were supplied with all manner
of festive arts and crafts that she had produced. I get regular updates throughout the day as to what she has eaten (all meals are freshly cooked on site), how she has slept etc. and often photos and observations of her doing activities. It is everything we could hope for in a nursery and the care is excellent.

My son started at Hazebrouck 6 months ago. I have visited quite a few nurseries around the area and in Reading overall and decided to send him to Hazebrouck due to how content the children seemed during my visits and the bright and spacious rooms with different space designated for eating, playing and
sleeping. It took a while for him to settle but during the process, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. He now needs to move up a room and the nursery manager and staff are providing us with the flexibility to make that transition as smooth as possible. Overall we are very content with our choice.

Our daughter started here in October last year. The nursery were very accommodating with our requirements and the days we needed childcare. Our daughter has settled in really well and enjoys going to nursery, the staff are so friendly and she often talks about them at home. She particularly enjoys French
lessons! There are wonderful facilities at the nursery and lots of outdoor space, all meals are provided which makes our lives so much easier and our daughter seems to love the food! I really like seeing all the updates on the app, I can see when she has slept, what she has eaten and other updates of what she's been up to. Overall the nursery has a really lovely family feel, and we are very happy with it so far.

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.
