I couldn't be happier with the staff, setting and environment offered to my son at Yew Tree Nursery. He started three weeks ago and loves his time at the nursery. The staff are friendly, approachable yet professional. I know my little boy is in safe hands and well looked after. He arrives smiling and
leaves smiling (but a little bit tired too!) the day is full of fun and creative activities with great outside areas to explore. Any parent looking for a clean, safe and secure environment for their child should visit Yew Trees. Happy staff greet him/us with a smile and a warm welcome ensuring I leave feeling reassured he will have a brilliant day. Thank you to all the team at Yew Trees.

The team at Yew Tree does an amazing job at caring, nurturing and developing our two young children from the babies room through to pre-school, learning and development is a key focus and the carers continuously go the extra mile. We can't thank you enough for your dedication and hard work.

My son started here following the closure of his much loved first childcare provider. I was concerned at first as its such a large nursery but I shouldn't have been. The facilities are excellent they spent so much time outside play equipment in the nature field, with animals, gardening etc. Best of
all though are the staff who are, without exception, first rate. They are kind, knowledgeable, devoted and professional. Both my children have thrived here under their care. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Reply from Heidi Brook at Yew Trees Nursery

We really enjoyed reading your review and would like to thank you for posting such positive comments. We are extremely pleased that both your children have been so happy at Yew Trees.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.963) out of 10 for Yew Trees 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.963 for Yew Trees Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (416 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 431 Ratings = 4.963

  • 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 Yew Trees Nursery is based on 36 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 36 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.
