Nursery teachers are super, both in the caring of the child and educative approach taken. We have seen improvements in all areas. They are also open to suggestions and adaptions which makes it a more unique experience for each child. Also to mention is the teacher/child ratio making the attention per
child great. Experience is excellent in all areas so far.

My daughter currently attends New Hall Nursery, as did my eldest daughter before starting school. I have nothing but positive things to say about the setting, our overall experience, and most importantly, the staff. The facilities on offer, including the farm, forest school and garden are fantastic,
as are the various activities they do with the children. The staff I have had personal experience with have always been so warm, friendly and welcoming; a credit to the nursery.

We could not be happier with all aspects of the nursery that my son attends. From the teachers, all other staff, the curriculum, the facilities, the building, absolutely everything is 10/10. We have seen a massive change in our child since he started nursery and we could not be more proud. Thank you
so much to all members at Newhall Nursery. We will certainly be continuing sending our son here until he hopefully gets extremely good A-level grades.

This nursery is incredible. Day after day the team go above and beyond to ensure the children have an educational but adventurous, explorative and fully immersive experience into learning. I cannot recommend the nursery enough and I feel very fortunate to have both my youngest two children enrolled.
My eldest child attended another well-regarded Chelmsford nursery, before this establishment opened in 2019, and I can honestly say this nursery is in a different league. Thank you to the team for all that you do!

Our two children have thrived at New Hall Nursery. I have been so impressed with the attentiveness of the staff, who quickly know each parent/carer by name and their relationship with the child.
The environment is respectful and inclusive of everyone, offering a wonderful platform for children to appreciate
not only Christian festivals, but many others from different religions and cultures from across the world.
The nursery offers an incredible array of activities from outdoor learning and farm visits to dance lessons, language classes, tennis and little scrummers rugby. Each child is nurtured to develop in their own way with frequent updates, classroom visits and parent evenings. The school provides fresh lunches and teaches children a range of life skills from basic hygiene and tidying up, to caring for and respecting their peers and teachers.
I am so thankful we found New Hall and would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone looking for a nursery for their children.

Our youngest joined the nursery two years ago and he loves it. The team are caring, attentive and engaged. Our son has had strong relationships with his key workers throughout. There’s a diverse range of activities for the kids and I'm amazed by how much they do, plus trips out and about.
So happy
he’s had the chance to attend this nursery, it’s given him a great foundation for starting school next year.

New Hall Nursery is wonderful, our daughter has enjoyed herself so much here. From settling into graduation, she's been cared for and supported every step of the journey. The staff really care and the setting has everything you could ask for, the outdoor area, in particular, is fantastic.

New Hall Nursery is incredible. My son has been to 4 nurseries before this one and this is by far the best experience. The staff are professional and their ideas for stimulating activities are excellent. Both of my children are never bored and often go on 'safari', learn French, take part in rugby and
dance as well as many other things. There are weekly themes that are carried out not by halves. The staff are what make the place so great, they are professionals and care so much for the children. Thank you, New Hall.

We are absolutely thrilled with the provision New Hall Nursery delivers. My daughter has attended from the first class and she absolutely loves attending. She is developing into a confident, independent child, with a thirst for knowledge. The wide range of activities - both educational, creative and
to support emotional development, are well tailored. Individual preferences and needs are catered for. The outside space is rich, clean and well looked after. Trips to the farm and forest school provide additional enrichment. Staff are genuinely caring, know my daughter well and work in partnership with parents. Meals are varied and nutritious. Breakfast club is punctual and well-resourced. Excellent home-school communication. Children's belongings are well looked after including clothing being protected during messy play. This is an outstanding setting, and we are fortunate our daughter is able to attend. Management is outstanding. She, and we love it. Could not recommend highly enough.

We have seen how our son has developed since starting at New Hall on Sep 22 and how much enjoyment he gets from attending. This is primarily down to the care he receives on a daily basis, staff members are so loving towards him which makes him feel safe and ultimately develop while having so much fun.
I personally have been very impressed by the attention to detail shown by all staff members toward my son's development and progression, they have taken us on this journey with them so we feel included. I also would point out the excellent facilities inside and out that provide a caring and nurturing environment for all kids at the nursery. I would also like to thank all the staff at the nursery especially my son's primary teacher and the Nursery Manager. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Having spent a lot of time researching the local nurseries, I am pleased that I was able to secure a place for my daughter at New Hall Nursery. The care and well-being that my daughter receives from all the staff is outstanding and, as a parent, I feel happy and assured that I am leaving her in good,
safe hands every day. My daughter has progressed so quickly since being at New Hall Nursery. The staff work tirelessly every day to provide the children in their care with a broad range of activities that stretch their personal skills. The children are fortunate enough to have a large outside garden to play in and a farm that they can visit daily. New Hall Nursery also provides us with the opportunity to allow our daughter to progress into the Preparatory and Senior Divisions and receive an education until she is 18 years old. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

We could not be happier with New Hall Nursery. The building and site offers fantastic facilities, including the nursery garden and school farm. The staff are fantastic and have really supported my son with settling in and progressing in many areas, such as with his speech and social skills. A huge range
of activities occur throughout the year, with events put on to celebrate different traditions and events from around the world. The nursery remain in regular communication with parents and are always welcoming and quick to respond should you have any questions. We highly recommend this excellent nursery!

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.
