  • The Maltings Day Nursery, Ely
The Maltings Day Nursery is set in the centre of the Cathedral city of Ely, in close proximity to the river and surrounding parks. They provide quality childcare in a welcoming, stimulating and caring environment. The building is ideal for a home from home ethos with individual rooms for different ages allowing the children to develop and grow at their own pace. They promote children’s interests using the Early Years Foundation Stage and underpin all care and learning using the Characteristics of Effective Learning and with the use of Schematic Play. They recognise that each child is individual and take care and time to enrich individual learning. Nursery activities are planned within each ‘key group’ of children. They are exciting, interesting and where possible, they offer the opportunity of first-hand experience. The children are able to take daily outings and walks around Ely, using the nursery bus.

As a family, we have been incredibly happy with the level of care and support shown to our child. It is wonderful to see him enjoying himself as he learns and he always has something new to share with us when he returns home. The staff are fantastic and we always feel informed about what our child has
been doing each day. Thank you for your dedication.

The Maltings is an outstanding nursery with lovely staff and management. The facilities are excellent and the care for our son has been fantastic from the moment he started. He clearly loves being there and has bonded with all the staff and the other children too. It has a lovely friendly and homely
atmosphere. We're delighted!

The whole staff and management have always be kind and attentive to our daughter needs and always open to any kind of dialogue with us parents. We feel confident that every time we leave our daughter with them, she will be in professional, fully trustable and safe hands. We tried other childcares but
this is surely the best environment ever.

My 15 month old son has been attending for nearly five months now and he has loved it from the start. Staff are very warm and caring and I feel confident that he is being well looked after. He enjoys the diversity of toys and new challenges introduced each week. His dietary requirements are also taken
into account. I am always impressed by the level of organisation.

Our daughter has attended The Maltings for over a year now and we are very pleased with her care and her relationship with staff and children. A lot of attention is given each day in providing feedback on how their day was, how they slept, ate, played and learned. My daughter is very fond of all the
staff, which gives us that extra reassurance that she is happy and making friends at nursery.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter attended from 18 months through preschool; our son joined age 3 months for 1 day/week which increased when I returned to work; he currently attends preschool 3 days a week. Both of our children benefited hugely from the nurturing provided by the nursery's dedicated, hardworking and personable
staff. We have always felt very well informed of what the children have been doing; staff truly treat the children as individuals. It's a very well managed nursery; our children have always felt safe there. Our children bonded with the staff and other children very well; when my son has had ups and downs (as kids are bound to have), the staff have always been clear with him but supportive and kind. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending The Maltings to other families; I am very confident that the experiences my children have had there (and my son continues have) have helped them to feel more secure, confident, and excited about learning as well.

My daughter loves attending the nursery, the learning creative environment that the staff have created is exceptional. When we get home we often play at pretending we are back at nursery with all her teddies, dolls and toys standing in as friends. There can be no higher praise than a child recreating
nursery when she gets home. She also pretends she is one of the staff, complete with name badge (sticker) and I sit down and listen to story time or circle time.

Both my children have attended The Maltings, my eldest starting in 08/13, so I feel I’ve got to know the staff and setting very well. Staff are friendly, approachable and receptive to their needs and I’m very confident in their child care abilities. Both of my children have developed strong bonds with
staff. A good range of activities are offered in each room, both in and outdoors and there is opportunity for outings to the train station, river, parks and town. Various aspects of development are recorded and documented well and there is always a detailed handover giving insight of the day at the end of each day. All in all, I can’t find any faults and I’m very happy with the care my children have received, and the confidence they have gained.

We highly recommend this nursery, the size is perfect and the staff are fabulous.
Only complaint is availability of additional days, but this is due to capacity and I wouldn’t change that.

We were lucky enough to get a place at The Maltings for our son when he was two and we were new to the area. The staff here are absolutely excellent, and work long days putting in a huge amount of effort. As parents we really feel like we get personal attention at the start and end of each day, and
that our son has received individual care. Activities at The Maltings are excellent, and our boy (now in preschool) is always very excited to tell us about all the things he has done (and eaten!), both indoors and out in the garden, including sharing his experiences with both the carers and other children. Feedback on each day is excellent and detailed, and the end of term reports are thorough and clearly the result of a lot of attention paid to him as he goes about his own, and guided activities. The fact that he is so happy at drop off and pick up every day is a testament to the staff. Overall we are all super happy and we couldn't recommend The Maltings in Ely enough!

Both of by children have attended The Maltings and my daughter is now in the preschool class. I have the utmost respect for The Maltings Day Nursery staff. They consistently display a professional, friendly and caring approach. The staff are always approachable and ready to discuss how things are going
with my daughter. It is clear that the management team take pride in leading a great team and establishment. The evidence based written reports compiled throughout the year are comprehensive, informative and a fabulous record of their time at nursery. The activities that my daughter takes part in appear to be fun, educational and well thought through. I'm always impressed by the amount of time that is spent outside, come rain or shine. I have seen that the staff at The Maltings are well trained and put the safety of the children in their care first. I would not hesitate in recommending The Maltings to prospective parents.

Our two children attend The Maltings and we are really happy with everything we see. The staff members are caring and attentive, the food is varied and nutritious, and the activities are interesting and well thought out. Our children especially enjoy the Forest School days and baking days. A lot of
time is spent outside, which I believe is crucial for good development, and the outings on the nursery's push-along bus are a favourite too. Communication is excellent: we always know what is happening the week beforehand and the monthly plans are very informative as well. The staff members are never in a hurry and are more than happy to discuss how the day went.


In short, we don't have a bad word to say about the place.

My son is 2 years old and has been at The Maltings for approx. 5 months now. The nursery staff are amazing so caring, friendly and very interested in the children’s development. My son's learning has come on leaps and bounds in their care and he enjoys his time there. The weekly newsletters are full
of information and pictures and a joy to receive and you can see all the hard work that they put into planning the day’s activities. Would definitely recommend without a doubt.

My son has been attending The Maltings Day Nursery for over 3 years and we have been extremely happy with the nursery. The staff and facilities are wonderful and it really is a home from home. I am completely reassured that my son is in the best care while I am at work and the range of activities on
offer is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, they encourage the children constantly and introduce a great variety of activities to help the children grow in confidence, help others and enjoy their time at nursery. Outdoor activities feature highly in the schedule and the forest school activities offered at The Maltings are loved by my son and time and effort is spent with each of the children while they explore and learn new skills. The food on offer is wonderful and the children often get to bake some food and even grow some food in their garden.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.104)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.104) out of 10 for The Maltings Day 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for The Maltings Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.104 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Maltings Day Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.104

  • 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.
