We have been so happy with our choice to send our daughter to Beeches Nursery over the last six months. The nursery is small enough that it feels all staff really know our daughter and she is so happy to go in each day. I appreciate the information provided on their app that gives a good amount of detail
on things, like how much they ate, how long they napped etc. without being so much information that it takes away from their time caring for the children. Many of the staff have been there for years which shows, to me, that it is a positive place to be and feels good to know that my child won't need to get to know staff regularly. My daughter had an allergy when she started and they were extremely diligent and accommodating with her meals. They do activities that seem age-appropriate and fun. The management, as well, has been easy to communicate with and run the centre well. Overall, we have had a great experience and would highly recommend the nursery.

Reply from Emily Walter, Manager at Beeches Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback regarding Beeches. We really pride ourselves on the fact we are a small and professional setting, that works closely in partnership with our families. All our children are very important to us and we enjoy getting to know them. We really appreciate you taking the time to write us such positive feedback.

My daughter has attended Beeches Nursery for 6 months since she was 10 months old. She loves it and her key workers so much that she rarely looks back when we arrive each morning. The staff are very responsive to her needs, especially at the start when she had to adjust to napping in a new environment
and without her mum. She eats every meal they give her, often going in for seconds, proving to me the calm environment they create for the little ones at mealtimes (and how good the chef is!). They update parents regularly on the app, both with daily activities and with important developmental milestones. My partner has a disability after having an accident shortly before our daughter's birth, and the staff have been amazing to be flexible when we have struggled to find help with pick-ups or drop-offs. They do a wide range of activities and my daughter is very happy!

My son has been attending Beeches Nursery for coming up for a year, having started when he was 11 months old. The provision of care is outstanding, and I feel completely assured that his every need is being met. There have been some managerial changes but they have been communicated and handled excellently,
and it doesn’t appear to have affected the day-to-day running of the nursery. The activities that are run are fantastic, and the displays are constantly changing which shows a real level of dedication to creating a safe, loving and meaningful area for the children.

Two of my children went here and absolutely loved it.
My son had to leave as we were relocating; he had been there since he was a baby. He loved it so much, he keeps asking to go back. Staff are friendly and helpful. Really pleased we chose Beeches.

I was feeling very apprehensive about leaving my child with someone other than myself but obviously needed to go back to work. The staff at Beeches, especially the baby room leader have been very supportive of not only my son's needs but mine too. The settling in process is wonderful as I felt there
was enough time to get to know everyone before leaving my child officially. The feedback from the staff is consistently good, and I like that I can check for updates on their app.

Overall our experience has been good. The only thing I would expect is having regular meetings with parents to discuss childs development areas and areas of improvement. Ther should be an emphasis on educational aspects for pre-school kids.

Reply from Subia Khan, Manager at Beeches Nursery

Many thanks for your review, it is much appreciated. As you know, we do hold termly parent meetings to discuss their learning and development. However, due to COVID-19 this year we have had to cancel them.

After an awful experience with a childminder, I was anxious about leaving my daughter but have been extremely happy with the care she has received from her first days at Beeches. The staff are all caring and kind towards the children and get to know them very well. Her Key Worker has supported her throughout
and it's lovely to see her happy and giving her cuddles.


They provide lots of opportunities for learning through play and I've noticed my daughter's confidence grow in a short time and it's been great for her socially, mixing with the other children.


Meals are healthy and they have helped her become more independent with her feeding herself confidently.


I'd definitely recommend, amazing nursery!

In short, Beeches Nursery is a wonderful operation and moving our son there from a different nursery was one of the best changes we could have made for our son. The whole staff is extremely friendly, approachable and appear to have great relationships with all of the children in their care. Our child,
in particular, has strong connections with several of them. He always comes home happy, clean, well-fed and consistently making progress. As a child with an ASD diagnosis, the entire staff and specifically his primary carer have been very proactive in helping him in situ as well as pushing to get him an appropriate and effective educational plan. In short, I have nothing but praise for Beeches Nursery, the staff and the support they have provided our son.

My daughter has been attending part-time sessions in the baby room at Beeches Nursery for around six months now. She settled in very quickly and thoroughly enjoys her time there. I believe this is largely due to the caring and enthusiastic nature of her lovely key worker and the rest of the baby room
staff. She cannot wait to go in when we arrive at the door and this means I feel totally comfortable leaving her! She loves the food and usually eats everything! Overall I would be very happy to recommend Beeches as a day nursery.

It has been of great comfort to my wife and I that our son has settled so well into nursery. It is clear how much the staff enjoy their jobs and love the children. They are all always polite, smiley and approachable.
We have noticed how much attending the nursery has helped his development as he has
gone from being wobbly sitting up to crawling and now standing himself up. He is always happy when we collect him and it is nice to see the relationship he already shares with the staff in his room.
Setting up payment as well as our son's attendance days was made easy and we felt that those who we spoke to were always happy to help.

Reply from Nadine Le Good at Beeches Nursery

Thank you for your kind words, Ryan. Your son is so happy and gives a smile to everyone he sees throughout the day as a way of 'hello'. It is wonderful to see how quickly he is developing.

All the fantastic and friendly staff made this difficult time so much easier. Now after a month, my child really enjoy their time at the nursery. Thank you very much.

My 10-month-old son has been attending Beeches Nursery for a few months now and we could not be happier.
The staff team are extremely professional at the same time as being friendly and approachable.
Our son has developed a lovely relationship with the staff in his room, in particular. Especially
his key worker.
We can clearly see how much they care for the children they look after.
Our son is so happy at nursery and his development is coming along great! I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

We are extremely happy with the Beeches. Our daughter loves every second of it to the point that some mornings I don't get a goodbye as she is too busy playing.
Since starting at Beeches, my daughter's confidence has dramatically improved. She's happy to play with all the children and interact with
all the teachers.
We would highly recommend Beeches to any parent in the area and surrounding areas for their amazingly run nursery, lovely teachers and the fantastic range of toys, activities, outings and learning materials.

Both of our children have been very happy at Beeches nursery. When my daughter starts school in September it will be the end of a happy 8-year relationship with the nursery. The staff have been brilliant and our children both built good relationships with staff and other children at the nursery.
The play and activities are really good - lots to do. I particularly like the outings to the local park or the library. There is lots of opportunity for outdoor play, and for the children to gain independence as they get older (dressing, getting their own water etc). The food was popular with both of mine too! Thank you to all the staff at Beeches.

My daughter has been at Beeches from age 1 and is currently in the pre-school room. The staff in every room listen to the children and parents then provide care and learning for that child's needs. The toys and learning aids in each room are for the specific age range to encourage and support their
development. We have had a number of behavioural issues at home recently but after mentioning these to the pre-school staff they proactively worked with my daughter and us to manage and overcome them using their wealth of knowledge and experience. The pre-school projects they take part in e.g. planning, designing and holding a festival, planning, designing and going on safari, are amazing and very inspiring for the children. My daughter will be starting school in September and I just hope school can continue to inspire, challenge and develop her in the same way Beeches has. I can't thank the staff enough for the care and support they have given us over the last 4 years.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.540)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.540) out of 10 for Beeches Nursery 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 Beeches Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 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 3.679 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beeches Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 35 number of registered child places is 7. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.429

  • 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.
