I have a son and daughter at Henry’s and they both absolutely love it. The staff are always welcoming and care so much for the kids. I was so worried about my lockdown baby starting nursery in such difficult times but right from day one she bonded with the staff in mini bears and really loves her time
there. There have been a few staffing issues this year but it’s unprecedented times for everyone so I can’t hold that against them. The main thing is that they’ve always had the welfare of the kids as their main priority and my two have not really noticed all the changes happening around them. I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery, we love it!

Reply from Laura Fisher, Acting Manager at Kings Burrow Nursery

Thank you for your review and your kind words about the staff. Unfortunately, the pandemic has, as with all sectors, influenced our staffing over the past year and we are working hard to get back to a full staff team. However, I am pleased to hear that your children have not really noticed the changes and that the level of care we provide is still as high as ever.

My son is coming to the end of an amazing four years at Henry's which he has hugely enjoyed and where he has thrived. He has received such love from the staff there who we will really miss. The activities they make up for the children are fantastic, the grounds are amazing, with a nature wood, playground
and huge big field. He is now ready for school with the nursery putting in a great effort with his writing, numbers, drawing and maths. His key workers have been fantastic throughout. He has sailed in every day with a smile and always comes home happy. As a parent having a child who genuinely enjoys his time at childcare is what you really wish for and in our case, this has happened for him at Henry's. Thank you to everyone at Henry's - would highly recommend it.

Reply from Laura Fisher, Acting Manager at Kings Burrow Nursery

Thank you so much for your very kind words and we are glad that, as a family, you have enjoyed your time with us. It has been an absolute pleasure to have your son with us for the past four years and to watch him grow over that time. We wish him all the best for school.

Friendly staff. Good facilities. Helped with learning development for our child. Not sure about food options, but our child can be fussy. Flexible drop-offs were good. Needs to keep good management to maintain good standards.

Reply from Laura Fisher, Acting Manager at Kings Burrow Nursery

Thank you for your review and positive words. We work on a 4-week rolling menu with all our food being prepared and cooked on site. This allows us to cater to all allergies and dietary preferences and with the varied menu, we aim to introduce a wide array of dishes, allowing children to explore and develop their own preferences for food.

Nursery spaces are very small and outside activities are not offered daily. The nursery does not offer full-time care, selected hours only. Staff changes frequently and you may be handed over your child by an unknown person. Nursery management incapable of providing a structured and organised environment.
Billing often erroneous. Charges apply for inset days and during the lockdown.
If you look for a good nursery, you will find a good alternative locally.

Reply from Lindsey Phillips-Jones, Manager at Kings Burrow Nursery

Henrys Kindergarten has three main rooms as well as a separate bathroom, cot room and our Honeypot. We also have a range of outdoor areas including free-flow areas, a playground, nature garden and access to the field and aim to take all children outside daily. We have a number of staff who have been here 17 years, have a low staff turnover and pride ourselves on the knowledge and experience we have across the team. In addition to our core team, we have a team of supply staff who work with us regularly. We use an online system to regularly update parents, including messages regarding who will be caring for the children. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions from both government guidance and site rules, the nursery has had to make several changes to the opening hours over the past 18 months. We have always been open in terms of our charges; explaining the decision to charge 10% of fees, during Lockdown 1.0, to cover the ongoing overheads such as rent and utilities.

Thank you so much to his keyworker and the team in little bears. My son has developed in confidence hugely since being with you and he’s learned new skills. We are delighted he’s made friends and thrilled to bits that he gave his keyworker a massive hug on his way in this morning. We’ve loved seeing
photos and videos on the app too - really reassuring. A fantastic nursery, thank you so much.

We moved our child from a nursery we were unhappy with, to go to Henry's instead. Henry's, from the outset, was amazing and we have since sent our second child. Both have excelled in confidence and run into Henry's every morning very happy kids. We wish we had chosen Henry's from the beginning, she
staff and facilities are excellent and everyone is known by name - kids and parents!

We have been delighted with the level of care given to our daughter. Staff are always positive, cheerful and work hard. My only concerns are that some meals do not seem very appealing (as commented on by nurse staff! E.g. Bean dip for tea). Children's cubby holes do need cleaning. There has been quite
a lot of changes to staff resulting in our daughter's key worker changing quite a few times over the past 6 months.
These are all very minor things and the general day to day care at Henry's is brilliant - thank you to all staff!

Reply from Lindsey Phillips-Jones, Manager at Kings Burrow Nursery

Thank you for your positive and constructive feedback about Henrys.
Our Nursery Cooks work very hard to ensure all the children have a balanced diet including our children with allergies, intolerances and food preferences. We pride ourselves in following the Government Public Health Guidance for Early Years Settings and one of the recommendations is to ensure children have a portion of protein at lunch and tea. Public Health have given the Early Years a range of recipes including the Beanie Dip which is a great source of protein. The management team are aware that some children do not like this dip and we have worked with the Cooks to serve it in a variety of ways but still ensuring the children get the balanced diet they need. This is also the first summer season in which the dip has been given to the children and with all new recipes, we give the recipe on a number of occasions before we can truly assess whether the dish is a success or not.
We have taken on board the comments about the children's individual trays and these have been cleaned out and tidied.
At Henrys over 60% of the staff have been part of the team for a range of 5-14 years service. We are aware there is a small percentage of children on our nursery who unfortunately this year have had a change of key person due to apprentice's completing their training and management moving from the rooms to the office. We are aware of this and have made sure this group of children have been placed with one of the long term members of staff along with the staff member the child has made a bond with.
We value your review and welcome any comments, so thank you for letting us know the positives and the things we can work on at Henrys to provide a better service.

Henry's is a very friendly nursery, where staff are very competent and really care about the wellbeing, learning and evolution of children. My 18 months daughter started at 6 months and she has always been very happy with staff's attention and activities and has formed strong bonds both with staff and
children. She loves going to nursery and is constantly nurtured and stimulated to learn and enjoy with a wide range of activities.


They also put a lot of emphasis on contact with nature and parents are well informed about children's daily activities through an online app and handover forms. They also make efforts to cater for parents' and children's' needs (e.g. dietary requirements). I would happily recommend this nursery.

Henry's is absolutely fab! My daughter absolutely loves it and as parents, we are big fans too. One massive plus for us is the amount of time they spend outside from running on the field, looking for bugs in the hedges, sledging down the frosty slope or climbing trees and having picnics in the wonderful
nature garden. The room staff are very caring and they have some creative ideas that keep the children entertained and the management staff are so welcoming and professional. We always get a daily handover from key workers that really do know what your child has been up to in the day. We have been involved with 4 nurseries in last 3 years and Henry's top the list in every way.

Our child has been at Henry's for more than 2 and half years now and we've been delighted with the care she has received throughout. The staff are warm and welcoming and come up with loads of fun activities that really encourage the children's curiosity and imaginative play. Our daughter has grown in
confidence and developed lots of friendships. Her experience at Henry's means she'll be more than ready for school when the time comes, but we'll be very sad to leave Henry's!

I have two children at Henry's Kindergarten aged 7 months and 28 months. The standard of care is exceptional and both children absolutely love being there. The facilities are great and the staff are all friendly, professional and competent. I cannot recommend them highly enough and if you are thinking
about going back to work and leaving your child for the first time, I can assure you that the staff at Henry's will make this as easy as possible for you and your little one.

Both of my children attend Henry's and we couldn't be happier with it. There is a very caring atmosphere and the staff seem to really enjoy their jobs and always make time for you even when they are really busy. The facilities are excellent - particularly the nature garden and the rooms are light and
airy. The children are outside playing as much as possible which I think is great.
My daughter is very sensitive and likes being at home so I was worried about her starting at nursery but she settled in very quickly and gets very excited about going - something I never thought would happen and is testament to the lovely environment there. I am always impressed by the activities they take part in - even my one year old brings paintings home that he's done!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

As a new mom with a 9-month-old, it was a huge relief to find a nursery which such attentive, responsible and caring staff. The management was especially understanding of my requests and accommodated my vegetarian options in their winter menu creation. My son is kept very busy with activities all day
and his development has been drastically impacted within a short time period. I really like the eyLog app as I can see photos and am given updates on learning my son achieves on a weekly basis, along with what he eats and drinks.


Areas of improvement would be the limited outdoor space and the nutritional content of the food (although it has improved since my son started). Overall, it is a great nursery and I have complete peace of mind leaving my child in their capable hands.


Reply from Lindsey Phillips-Jones, Nursery Manager at Kings Burrow Nursery

Within the grounds of the Nursery each of the three rooms has access to their own outside area along with our playground, nature garden and the use of the school field.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.055)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.055) out of 10 for Kings Burrow Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 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 4.817 for Kings Burrow Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.817

  • 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 4.238 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kings Burrow 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.638

  • 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.
