We've had all 3 of our kids in this nursery and I couldn't be happier! Every time I go there I secretly hope I was a kid again! They have a fantastic outdoor area - forest school vibes everyday. All my kids absolutely loved seeing the chickens and picking the eggs. When I drop my littlest one off I
feel like I'm dropping them off at a family member's house, I trust them wholeheartedly, such lovely people work there! Also, amazing business bringing the local community together! Lots of events and occasions to catch up with old friends even after your kids gone to school. My two eldest love visiting for summer BBQs or reunion events!

Thank you for the lovely review! We hope you all keep returning to our events, even after your youngest has left for school!

I couldn't be happier with the care and support provided by this nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive and genuinely care about the children's well-being and development. My child has thrived here, building confidence, making friends and always coming home with a smile and stories about
their day. The team creates a safe, nurturing and engaging environment and they go above and beyond to make each child feel special and supported.
I have always felt well-informed about my child's progress and activities and the open communication with the staff has been fantastic. It's clear that this is a place where children are truly valued and cared for.
Thank you to all the team for everything you do, you're absolutely amazing.

Both of my daughters have attended Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School. My eldest daughter is now six years old and attended from the age of 9 months. My youngest is now four years old and I'm already feeling a bit sad about her leaving Ridgemount in the summer. My daughters have absolutely thrived here
and my husband and I have been privileged to see the nursery change and develop over the years, going from strength to strength. Many of the staff have been at Ridgemount for years which signifies their happiness working there which has in turn helped my children to flourish. The staff always have the children's best interests at heart. I feel comfortable and secure leaving my youngest in their excellent care and attribute many of the strengths my daughters have to the wonderful staff at Ridgemount. This is a truly remarkable nursery. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Both my sons 11months & 3 years go to Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School and have done since they were 9 months old. We love the nursery environment, especially the amount of time spent outside. The boys couldn't be happier and we are happy as parents we can leave our special people with Ridgemount staff

Ridgemount is a fantastic nursery with a lovely ethos and feel. My son really enjoys his time there and has made friends I am sure he will have for a life. The staff are always welcoming and caring no matter how the day might start and I leave feeling he will have the best day ahead. When I pick up,
no matter what time, the joy I see on his face is always one of a fulfilling day and he is bursting to tell me what he has got up to and the adventures he has had, Forest school is a new favourite topic! Feedback from staff is always detailed and descriptive to the point we come away with a feeling that I was there. Truly great place, I am always amazed at the ongoing changes and experiences the manager, owner and management team create in the grounds for him to explore. Wish every success to all at the nursery.

Ridgemount Nursery has been amazing for my daughter since she started 18 months ago. We visited a number of nurseries and this one seemed the best by far! The atmosphere there is caring and she has shown such progression since being there. The staff are fantastic and helpful and always willing to help
and support the children there. Putting my daughter here was the best decision. The children are encouraged to be outside with chickens and nature, keeping them away from screens which is great. They are allowed to grow and learn in this environment, it's a wonderful nursery.

My son was signed out of the nursery setting on the app 2 hours before he is normally picked up, they lied about the circumstances.
We had issues with invoices (out by around £600). I was met with a rude and aggressive tone, along with why would I think they have time to deal with this? And that they
have told me they will look at it.
A key worker informed me that the owner can get frustrated when he's busy, and that you just have to know him to know that as he's not trying to be rude, he just struggles with that. Need I say more?
They are trying to have the numbers on the nominal roll increased from 76 to 120. Such a jump in numbers is likely to only contribute in the amount of accidents that happen.
Should you ever have an issue that requires input from management, expect to be met with dismissiveness, rudeness and arrogance. Note how there were no reviews about Ridgemount since October. I then write a 1* review and all the staff come on and leave 5* reviews to try and bump their numbers back up.

Reply from Stewart Hendry, Owner at Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School

Due to the rude nature of your interactions, we had to terminate your contract with us. This decision was regrettable, especially as your husband expressed desire to stay and your children clearly enjoyed their time here. While we appreciate your feedback, I'd like to clarify some points:1.The signout concern was addressed immediately, once you reported it the next day. Children self-register but we maintain a paper copy for safety. If worried we encourage immediate communication.2.A system error undercharged you by 600. We apologised, offered 500 goodwill and explained it was complex to resolve. Despite this, we received calls/emails at all times.3.The statement you attributed to a key worker was not made; she is distressed by this.4.As a larger setting, we provide unique experiences eg. Forest School, allotment and yoga. In your final week, your family enjoyed reindeer, Santa and a Christmas concert.5.All reviews on Daynurseries.co.uk are verified.

I really feel that a place for your child at Ridgemount Cottage Nursery is an opportunity you shouldn't pass up. They provide such a rich learning environment for the children with their large outdoor play areas where chickens are raised and food is grown, not to mention their children's yoga and mindfulness
sessions which my son really loves.
And I speak of every single member of staff when I say that it is clear that the job is not just a job but a calling to them. They really enjoy working with your children and know them really well as individuals. Whenever I read a report they wrote about my son I felt that I couldn't have said it better so they certainly are paying attention. The lunches are great too, nice and healthy.

Our child has been nurtured and cared for. Since she joined as a toddler she has thoroughly enjoyed her days at Ridgemount. They have helped her to develop into a kind and happy girl with an inquisitive mind. As a parent I have felt throughout that she has been well cared for, always being given new
ways to explore the world. Our daughter is now leaving to attend primary school.

My daughter has just graduated from Pre-School at Ridgemount. She has been with them since she was 11 months old. Starting in COVID times when I felt unsure of everything including worrying about her lack of socialisation. All staff that have worked with her have helped her settle, have encouraged her,
have celebrated her, have supported her and supported us as a family. They truly are like an extended family. The outdoor space is fantastic and is utilised by all groups. They spend as much time as they can outside. Their activities have been based around popular stories which has been a great way at encouraging reading and interest in books. We've thoroughly enjoyed our daughter's time here and will be sorry to say goodbye.

Amazing place with amazing staff. My daughter spent three and a half years in this nursery. Staff's input, time and activities developed her skills over the years. It's not just a place where the child is looked after but a place where the child feels included, involved and mostly loved. I have nothing
but respect and gratitude for all at the nursery, including management.

We have been continuous customers of Ridgemount for 5 years since our eldest started there at 18 months. Our youngest is about to leave for school.
Throughout our time there our kids have loved the warm and welcoming environment and have been very well cared for by the staff. We have been delighted
to be customers of Ridgemount and will miss the staff and owners of the establishment. We have been fans of the family-run atmosphere and we can really see the passion the family have for the business and children.
The facilities are good with large outdoor spaces. The food is varied and good quality. There is a frequently changing curriculum. The management are often very flexible to offer us extra sessions if we need them which is so helpful.
In particular, the nursery coped well with the difficulties of COVID and continued to provide a high-quality service during unprecedented challenges.
I'd enthusiastically recommend the owner and his team to anyone. Thank you.

My daughter has been at Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School since she was 10 months old and will be there until she starts school this September.
Our experience has been, overall, very good. Staff are lovely and are very caring and good teachers.
The added benefits of the setting are the forest school
and yoga.
It is also a lovely community setting with events which helps parents get to know each other.

My son started Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School when he was 3, so February 2023. It was a very nerve-racking time for him and myself. On the initial viewing day, we were both made to feel very welcome and my son was made to feel part of the nursery straight away, even before registering. Staff let
him join in with games with children and have a snack with the children all whilst I was just viewing the nursery. After signing up and starting for the first time, my son struggled to settle and I found it very hard to leave him but the staff were so friendly and understanding and kept me up to date throughout the morning by sending me photos and messages, showing me that my son was ok. They allowed my son to bring a comforter into nursery with him until he became settled and worked with me to take it away slowly. They went at my son's pace. My son now goes three times a week and the growth I have seen in him, personality-wise and knowledge-wise, is fantastic, he’s grown in so much confidence and it’s lovely.

Our daughter started at Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School over a year ago and she has never had an unhappy experience there. The staff and management are all friendly and caring and always greet you with a smile. The outdoor space is second to none and the amount of time spent outside is the main reason
why our daughter loves nursery so much. Not only does she have fun but she is learning at the same time. Thank you for everything you do.

I cannot speak highly enough about Ridgemount Nursery! The staff at the nursery are exceptional, as they are genuinely caring and nurturing. They have created a warm and loving environment that has helped my son thrive and grow. The meals provided at the nursery are fantastic! I know that my son is
receiving nutritious, well-balanced meals. I do believe they go above and beyond to ensure that the children are well-fed and enjoy their meals.
One of the things I love most is the emphasis on outdoor activities. Even having chickens and a full garden for planting vegetables is amazing for the kids. The nursery encourages physical activity and exploration, which I think is essential for a child's development. The best bit is they go out in all weather!
I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent. The staff, meals, and outdoor activities are all top-notch, and I couldn't be happier with my son's experiences there. Thank you to the entire team!

This is the first setting my daughter has attended and we loved it from the first second of our walk around. They have so much in place for the children to learn and engage with each other and staff.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.579)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.579) out of 10 for Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 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 4.787 for Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.787

  • 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 4.792 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ridgemount Cottage Nursery School is based on 19 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.792

  • 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.
