My child has been attending New Hall Nursery for 16 months. We have been impressed by how far the nursery staff have gone to tailor activities to his current interests and needs. Even in winter they wrap the children up and take them to the local park, school farm or forest school area to widen their
experience and surroundings. When I have had queries the staff have been very responsive in answering them.

We have now had two children in New Hall Nursery. Both have had a wonderful, rounded experience delivered by kind, warm and thoughtful staff. The values, the ethos and the care and attention is second to none. The nursery itself is always clean, tidy and feels modern and new. Having just had our third
child, we will have no hesitation in sending her to New Hall, indeed she is already on the list. The family feel and genuine care and concern is so refreshing.

Our child started nursery last September, and we fell in love. Upon returning for the second term, the positive effect of the staff and the environment on our child became even more evident. Since joining the nursery, he has become very confident and driven; we can see the academic benefits, too.

My son has loved attending nursery since joining New Hall in September 2023. The range and quality of the education he has received are amazing, and he is developing in leaps and bounds as a result. The facilities are fantastic, especially access to the wider resources of New Hall School, such as the
farm and forest school. The staff-to-children ratios are great (better than the minimum required limits), and all of the teachers at the nursery are mature, professional and approachable. Everything he is learning is setting him up to successfully transition into school next year without any issues.

Our daughter has been attending New Hall Nursery since September 2023. We have seen enormous strides in her development in that time; her confidence has grown along with her desire to be independent, and her aptitude for writing, numbers and drawing has excelled.
All of the staff at the nursery are
incredibly friendly and supportive, and it's evident they all invest so much care and effort into the children's development. We get regular updates from her key worker regarding her progress and advice on next steps to work on at home.
Our daughter has made some great friends. We enjoy the daily updates we receive on the app with photos and descriptions of the fun activities she's enjoyed with her friends. There is a lovely sense of community amongst the parents too.
The entire nursery setting and facilities are kept to a very high standard and safeguarding is an utmost priority. We are extremely glad we made the choice for our daughter to go to New Hall Nursery.

My daughter is in her 2nd year at New Hall Nursery. We believe she is in a safe environment. I respect New Hall's core values and their dedication towards my child. I have huge respect for all the teachers and their patience. My daughter is thoroughly enjoying her time at the nursery. It's a great start
to prepare them for full-time education.

New Hall Nursery really does provide an extended family environment for our daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds since she started in the late summer of 2023. Our daughter loves going in, she’s excited every morning, and we believe that says it all about the warm and welcoming environment, underpinned
by all the excellent team members. Our daughter loves being outside, there is no better place than New Hall Nursery to enjoy this. She can play in the well-equipped nursery garden, visit the school farm, and enjoy the vast grounds of the school. We couldn’t recommend New Hall Nursery highly enough. Thank you to the excellent Nursey Manager and all the brilliant team members in taking great care of our daughter.

The nursery provides a kind and caring environment within excellent facilities. The broad curriculum with exemplary teaching has prepared children so well for Reception and beyond. The staff are professional and their ideas for stimulating activities are excellent. The children are never bored and often
go on adventures exploring the vast grounds and facilities that the New Hall School offers. I highly recommend New Hall Nursery to parents looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their children. Both of my children have thrived while at the nursery and I have nothing but positive sentiments towards the nursery, wider school and most importantly, the exceptional staff.

Our two boys love attending New Hall and can't wait to go back each morning. The facilities are outstanding and there is generous outside space which is imaginatively used. They also benefit from the school grounds and farm which is a fantastic learning resource. I moved our eldest from another nursery
setting and I have been so impressed with his growth and development in a matter of months. The staff are excellent and I love to see the daily updates and activities. So much care and attention is put into making the children's days fun, action packed and an adventure whilst simultaneously teaching them valuable life skills and preparing them for their next steps. Highly recommend.

We are so pleased with all aspects of New Hall Nursery. The manager and the whole team have been central to our son's huge development since he joined mid-last year. From regular updates and a really collaborative effort with us on specific areas, we are seeing massive improvements in many aspects.
The nursery itself offers a varied and exciting experience for the children. Truly an exceptional nursery, thank you for everything you do!

New Hall nursery is truly a wonderful environment for children to learn and be nurtured. The key worker system works very well and I have always felt well informed of my child’s development, any challenges and feel well supported should there be something to work through. The care and encouragement
the children receive to explore and develop at the nursery is fantastic- the range of activities the children are involved in from a very early age is excellent. Something else I’ve also appreciated is that the nursery sends regular updates on next steps which are things they are working on which can be followed through at home. I feel incredibly lucky to have found the nursery. It’s a superb, warm and nurturing environment where our son is flourishing. His speech has come on so quickly in such a short space of time and I am hugely grateful for the support, care and effort all the nursery staff and management go to, to ensure our child has a wonderful nursery experience.

This is an excellent nursery, where the children are treated with respect, like the little people they are, and not like objects, which so many nurseries seem to favour. The biggest problem with this nursery is getting a place. Even if you have older siblings at the school, there is a hefty waiting
list. Apparently parents are interviewed these days, with points scored if you are Catholic and likely to send your children to the private school attached. Things I particularly like about this nursery: both my children were happy here; the garden is excellent; the children benefit from school facilities such as the farm; the staff are friendly, approachable and genuinely seem to care (how they maintain their enthusiasm with lots of small children to look after, I do not know. Of course, my children are exceptions and were both wonderfully behaved ;). The general behaviour of the children is very high, actually, which speaks to both nursery staff and the parents who use the nursery.

I have found New Hall Nursery to be outstanding. My child is thriving in all aspects and loves attending. The children also have a lot of opportunities to explore here because of the grounds that it is on. Our favourite part is the regular visits to the school's farm.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for New Hall 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.954 for New Hall Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (354 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.954

  • 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 New Hall Nursery is based on 31 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 111 number of registered child places is 22.2, which has been reached with 31 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.
