Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool provides a warm happy and homely environment where the top priority is to have safe contented children. The nursery believes the service should be about making friends and learning through play in a home from home with kind and caring adults for support.

Hadden Hill has excellent facilities indoors and owners are particularly proud of the big outdoors space which has specifically been designed with very small children in mind. A great emphasis is placed on spending lots of time outside in the fresh air and the team use both the indoors and outdoors to deliver all areas of the early years curriculum to a high standard.

Professionals constantly strive to give children memorable experiences with exciting opportunities to learn through play that they might not always be able to do at home and of course give them the opportunity to make some of their first friends.

The nursery has been fantastic at helping our daughter settle in, The staff are really welcoming and make her feel at home. The outdoor space is amazing and it's lovely to see them playing outside so much of the time. They are always trying new activities and are encouraged to be more independent. Our
daughter can't wait to get there each morning.
Our son has settled so well in the baby room and us really excited and happy to be there. The staff have all been amazing at helping to settle them.

We have had only positive experiences at Hadden Hill Nursery. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she comes home worn out and with a smile on her face every day. She is more independent and her speech has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about my daughter
and give her experiences that I just couldn’t replicate on a daily basis. There is a great outdoor space for the little ones to play, the food is varied and they encourage the kids to try new things.
She is becoming a confident and social little girl, and the staff at the nursery are doing a fantastic job taking care of her!

The staff members at the nursery are not only highly professional but also exhibit a genuine personal touch with the children, which has made a significant difference in both my daughter's early years.
I am impressed by the wide range of activities that the nursery offers. These activities engage the
children in fun and stimulating ways, fostering a love for learning and exploration.
The impact of the nursery on my daughter's development has been remarkable. Their social skills have flourished, and display a genuine curiosity for learning, which I attribute to the caring and dedicated staff.
I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to all parents seeking the best care and education for their children. The journey my daughter has had at this nursery has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the staff for their brilliant work and the love they pour into their profession. Thank you for making a significant difference in my daughter's life.

Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool are an excellent nursery. My son has gained in so much confidence and has had significant speech development since joining. He is well looked after and all the staff are friendly. It is clear that all the staff take the time to get to know the children and provide the
best care possible. Any questions I have had, have been responded to quickly and efficiently. Would definitely use again!

Both of my sons have progressed through Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool from the baby room until they have left to start school so we have been with the nursery for a very long time.
They have always been very happy to go to nursery and have made lots of lovely friends. They've learned a lot there
and the outside space is particularly good. I've always been impressed with how much the children are encouraged to be outdoors and get lots of fresh air.
The meals provided by the nursery are great and really varied with lots of fruit and vegetables. The menu is varied and it's always nice as a parent knowing my children will have had a hot lunch and lots of healthy food on offer during the day.
Thank you to the whole team for looking after my boys and we'll have lots of happy memories of our time with you.

Our twins started at Hadden Hill back in March 2022 and it is wonderful to see how happy they are. They started in the baby room and they have recently moved into the Tweenies room, and it is truly amazing to see how they have been thriving. Their key workers are fantastic, very professional and dedicated,
and we can feel how much our twins love them and how much they learn. They are eating well (and the food must be delicious as they are always asking for a second portion - thanks to their amazing chef!), they are sleeping well, they have a wonderful programme full of activities, they spend their time outdoors - and the space outside is absolutely beautiful for children. The communication with the key workers is very good, we feel heard and supported, and we are so grateful to have them there.

I have always been very happy with Hadden Hill in all manners. The nursery staff always keep me well informed of daily activities, topics of learning and the development of both my girls as individuals and how they are progressing and any challenges they are facing along with ways to help overcome these
both in preschool and at home. Both girls love coming to preschool to see not only their friends but teachers as well. It's thanks to the teachers that the girls are as prepared as can be for big school. Thank you.

My son has been attending the nursery for about two months. He took a little bit to settle, but the staff took time with him to make sure he was comforted and settling well. He now has great days and enjoys all the activities. He also sleeps really well at nursery, which he doesn't at home!

Our daughter moved to preschool from Tweenies five months ago, and the progress she has made since then is amazing. She's gained a lot of confidence and wants to be more independent in doing things. We don't have anything bad to say about the nursery, the staff and management are brilliant. We are expecting
our second baby and have already registered her for a place!

My daughter continues to thrive at Hadden Hill Nursery, she has recently moved up to the pre-school room and looks forward to going in every day - in fact, she is often a bit sad when she realises it’s one of her days off! The team, led by a fantastic manager, are all friendly and professional, they
really know my daughter and treat her as an individual. Hadden Hill Nursery continues to be a home from home for her where I know she is nurtured and beautifully cared-for. I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my daughter here when I go to work and do not hesitate to recommend it to other parents. Amazing outdoor play areas and very good food too.

Our two children join the nursery when we relocated from South Africa during the pandemic. The staff members have been extremely helpful to help the children settle - especially in view of the fact that English is not their first language. The nursery has gone above and beyond to develop the children's
language ability and understanding after 5 months they are comfortable and very social. I love the very detailed daily feedback. I wholeheartedly recommend Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.933 for Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool is based on 10 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
