I have been sending my 11-month-old daughter to The Nest Nursery Copper Beech for the last 4 months and I have been really impressed with the nursery and the staff. They made the whole process of her starting and settling so easy! They have been so friendly and my daughter loves going. They have been
so attentive to her development and give regular updates in person and via their app. All the staff are really caring and kind but I have to particularly commend my daughter's key worker, who is fantastic! I understand why they received an outstanding rating at their last Ofsted inspection - I would highly recommend this nursery!

This is the best nursery we could ever find for our kids. Both of them loved the Nest Nursery Copper Beech and learned so much here! The forest school and outdoor playtime are amazing. As our daughter leaves the nursery this August, it is an emotional time for us. I want to take this opportunity to
express our deep gratitude to the Copper Beech team. They have prepared her so well for her future school and life. We will forever be grateful for their love, care, and teaching!

Our daughter has been attending since January and she absolutely loves her days at Copper Beech, she loves being outside and we love that she has plenty of outdoor time. Books are her favourite and this activity is greatly encouraged by the staff. Our little one is a real foodie and the ever-changing
menu keeps our little one very satisfied, often resulting in second helpings! She always comes home clean and fresh after a fun day at nursery and sleeps like a log. Thank you, team Copper Beech.

The most amazing nursery we could have imagined for our two children. Our second child is about to finish in the summer. We’re very sad to be stepping away from this fabulous setting, while also confident that the staff have laid the best possible foundations for both our children. When our oldest child
first left The Nest, I was nervous about him leaving such a nurturing setting, but I see now that he had everything he needed for his next stage in education. The Nest’s understanding of school readiness is fantastic and they help lay the strongest foundations. The staff are kind, caring and patient and our children have had amazing key workers. Both our children have loved their time at The Nest. Our oldest initially started at a different nursery within the group because Copper Beech was full. Both settings follow the same ethos and we couldn’t recommend them enough, full of fun, care and joy. It’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of The Nest family and we will be sad to say goodbye.

Extremely pleased with the support, care, love and attention my daughter has received since attending the Nest. All staff have been so patient and attentive during her settling period, and celebrate every win with me. My older children attend a different branch of the Nest, and I can confirm that the
quality remains high in both settings. I look forward to watching my daughter blossom with the Nest over the next few years.

Both of my children started at the Nest when they were a year old - the eldest is due to start school this year. Having spoken to dozens of other parents who have experience of many different nursery settings, one of the best things for me is the simplicity of there being just two rooms. Rather than
having to move to a new space every few months, the children really have a chance to get to know their room, and the people in it - both the other children and the adults. I love the fact that the children all come together at mealtimes, and I feel this really fosters a caring mentality, encouraging the children to look after their peers. Forest School has been a wonderful addition to the nursery experience for my eldest, and I know the younger one will also enjoy this when he gets to preschool age. I really like how much time the children are able to spend outside - both at Forest School and in the nursery garden - as this definitely adds to the sense of excitement and adventure at the nursery.

The Nest is a very loving and family-oriented environment and definitely feels like a home from home. This was one of the many reasons we chose it for our son. We have been attending since my son was 14 months old and have noticed huge strides in his development. The nursery have also really supported
us as a family through some of our son’s health issues and helped with additional hearing tests which put our mind at ease. I really believe The Nest has helped the transition to preschool be a more smooth process. I really recommend The Nest, they put the child’s needs and experiences at the forefront. Lately my son has really enjoyed visits from a preschool football academy and trips to the park for a picnic.

Our daughter has been attending The Nest Nursery since she was 1 year old and is now leaving to start reception class. She has had such an incredible time at The Nest and it has been such a privilege to leave her in the safe hands of all the caring staff at this nursery. She has developed into a confident,
sociable, curious and independent girl with the support of the amazing staff at The Nest.
Our whole family will miss this nursery dearly and cannot thank the staff enough for everything they have done for us over the years!

We have been attending The Nest Nursery for six years (two children), and the overall experience has been very positive. Our girls have enjoyed their time at the nursery. We’ve been consistently delighted with the food, care and staff. The outdoor area is excellent, and they make an effort to spend
as much time outdoors as possible. The staff are kind, caring and trustworthy, but they will also openly report any behaviour incidents, as well as documenting any injuries or accidents.
We have only two criticisms, the first of which is the cost, and this is why we are moving nurseries for our middle and youngest. It is by far the most expensive nursery in the area, and the annual increases have sadly priced out many families.
Secondly, email communication from the nursery is sometimes a problem, with messages causing confusion among parents.
Overall, our time at The Nest has been amazing; we are sad to be moving to a different nursery and would recommend The Nest as a great day nursery.

They have offered a very high standard of care and have supported my son's development. They have always shown kindness and compassion to our whole family and have gone above and beyond
to ensure my son feels safe and happy whilst with them.

Our daughter has attended The Nest for over two years. We wanted a smaller, homely environment where the emphasis was on having fun during her nursery years. We have been very happy with the care and love she has received from the staff since the very beginning, and she has thrived. She is encouraged
to be curious and independent at The Nest and she has developed practical skills way beyond what we would have thought her capable of at such a young age. Our daughter has developed deep and meaningful friendships with other children through their time at The Nest which are nurtured by the staff. The staff work so hard to really get to know the children as individuals and the environment is very homely including family photographs (of each child with their families) on the walls and natural resources and shared mealtimes. The outside space encourages curiosity and the activities are all child-led and fun, from ‘sing and sign’ to making playdoh from scratch daily, to baking and so on!

The staff at The Nest Nursery at Copper Beech are just amazing! From the manager showing us around when we were deciding on nurseries to all the fantastic, caring and lovely staff. Our boy was seven months old when he started at The Nest, we were very apprehensive about leaving him - but the staff at
The Nest couldn’t have been any more reassuring. I stayed with him for his settling-in sessions and really got a feel for the place. It is clear that the outstanding practices and routines are really embedded and all of the staff, who know all of the children’s names and obviously really care about each individual child, also really know what they are doing.
Each child is given a diary which is sent home each day and informs us of when he has eaten, had a nappy change and what activities he has enjoyed throughout the day.
We are so glad we have chosen The Nest, we couldn’t wish for our boy to be anywhere better.

My daughter started at this nursery at the beginning of February and absolutely loves it! She settled in straight away without trouble and is always happy to go in and play when we drop her off. She has thrived since being here and learned so much, such as some new words, her eating and drinking skills
have improved massively, and she’s learned how to crawl, cruise and climb safely. They spend so much time outside in the fresh air playing, as well as doing messy play which she loves, reading and singing. The staff are so friendly and care for the children so well that I have no anxiety about her safety and happiness while in their care. I’m so thrilled I chose this nursery for her as it was an instant fit and we’ve had nothing but success, happiness and improvement!

A wonderful nursery with such a homely feel. The nursery staff have worked so hard with attention to detail to create a home from home setting for the children. I am so happy we found The Nest Nursery for our little boy! He loves attending and to see him go running in so confidently is ever so comforting
to us as parents. The staff are lovely and really invest time to create a fun learning environment. Thank you again to all of the staff at the Nest who have made this transition so easy for us as parents and our little boy!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for The Nest Nursery Copper Beech 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.961 for The Nest Nursery Copper Beech is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.961

  • 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 The Nest Nursery Copper Beech 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 19 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.
