The staff at St Paul’s Nursery are absolutely amazing! My little boy started in October 2020 during Covid-19, which was extremely hard for us due to the Government guidelines. I cannot thank the staff enough for helping my son settle in so quickly. He has become such a happy little character, full of
laughter and wakes up excited to see his friends and nursery nurses each morning. I would highly recommend this to any parent. It’s one of the best nurseries I have come across. Also, a bonus that they have a farm on sight.

So lovely to have such positive feedback, especially at such difficult times - thank you.

I would like to thank the staff that look after my son. Since starting the nursery in September 2020, not just me but family members have noticed how well he has been developing. At home after he finishes with his plates or cups he always puts them in the sink now. When I pick him up he looks so happy
and when I ask him if he had a good day, his answer is always yes with a smile on his face.

Reply from Tracey Newton, Nursery Manager at St Paul's Nursery

So lovely to hear this and a pleasure to have him with us.

St Paul's nursery is a wonderful and magical place for any child. From the location of the nursery being part of a community and little farm sanctuary to the education provided by the most experienced and tailored teachers.
It has the advantage of having the farm where the kids go out and learn and
have fun. The teachers keep a progress record report for each child and update parents each quarter so you're always up to date with your child's progress. They also have a secure app where only you have access to your child's progress and this gets updated every often. My child loved going to that nursery every single day and now that she has left she misses it and the teachers so much.
They have links with other schools and educational centres which proved very useful as we got to meet the Duchess of Cambridge at the millennium point last year!
I'd highly recommend the nursery to anyone and everyone that would like their child to enjoy and progress from pre-school education.

My son began attending St Paul's when he was 16-months-old. The settling period was child-led and it was obvious from the beginning that the staff care very deeply for the children under their care. A year later and my son absolutely loves his weekly nursery day. He has gained a lot from attending St
Paul's, such as using cutlery with more skill, through his language development and, more recently, with potty training. The nursery grounds are lovely, with an onsite farm. I am so happy to know that my son is in the care of such kind and compassionate people!

Since my daughter has been going to nursery she is developing more, learning new things and she is happy. She loves the farm and the animals when I drop her off and pick her up she wants to see the animals. We are very happy with the nursery and I would recommend the nursery to any parent who wants
their children to have a good start in education. The staff are friendly and in my opinion really good for the kids it seems as the staff really love the kids and their jobs and give 110 percent on what they do.

As a working parent, I felt at ease sending my son to this nursery - the facilities they had were great and the support they provided was amazing - they prepared their pre-school children well for reception - my son was very sad to leave as he had a great bond with all the nursery teachers.

My daughter attended the nursery during this pandemic and I was impressed with the care and attention we both received from all staff.
Staff members were friendly, kind and good role models. I felt the ethos of the nursery staff was to be an extended family for the children. I experienced this with
my daughter. I was reassured at all times that my daughter was well looked after. I experienced staff having a genuine desire for my daughter to settle at the nursery and for both of us to be happy.

We'd only just moved to the city when my kids started here and we all felt very welcomed. We'd looked at so many nurseries, and this one was by far the best. The staff are lovely, there's such a warm, fun atmosphere, it's clear that it's a great place to work - some have been here for decades! - and
the focus is on the children. They've managed to adapt to the situation post-covid in such a professional, creative way. We felt confident sending the kids back and they've got so much joy and stimulation from returning. The fact that it's run by a not-for-profit organisation, with strong links to the community, gives it a nicer feel to a private nursey. The rooms are big and airy with loads of space for outdoor play. And it's got a city farm right next door! The kids love interacting with the animals on the farm, planting vegetables with the farmers etc. We're so glad we found St Paul's, it's such a special place.

My child has been attending since September and she loves it there and I’m happy with the way she has progressed since starting.
She has become a lot more confident talking and playing. The staff are always playing with them and are there to discuss any problems you may have. I would recommend this
nursery to everyone.

Absolutely lovely nursery with a real family feel. My daughter has been there for nearly two years, she is quite introverted but the staff worked hard to help her settle and she now loves it and asks to go on the weekends! Staff are friendly and attentive and pay attention to the needs of every child.
Also on the site of a lovely city farm! Highly recommended.

110% satisfied with St Paul's Nursery, have been since October last year when my son joined, who loves it their so much. I have to say it is by far the best nursery I have found for my son, and we have tried a few. It's very spacious for children to explore with a large outside play area for children
to run around even when it rains as they have a huge canopy so even on the wet day's children can be outside and not get wet. Staff are really friendly, always willing to oblige and listen. With the pandemic upon us, nurseries reopening their doors, I had no concerns what so ever with the safety of my son going back in as they have always and still continue to put all children's safety and welfare first.
They are like a big family to me.

Absolute fantastic nursery, my two girls go there and ever since their first day starting the staff were amazing with my two children attending their needs and making sure they settled in really well. My girls love going to nursery they go two days a week if my daughters could they would go everyday
they both love it there. The bonds the team make with the children the services that they are providing are outstanding. I know even for myself if I need anything I can turn to the nursery. Highly recommended

My son went to St. Paul’s Nursery when he was one year old. I was so afraid about how the staff could deal with his young age, but the staff was incredibly friendly and supportive. They taught him everything; how to walk, speak, drink and eat by himself without any help. The Nursery has many rooms with
different activities where children can play and spend a lovely time. The kitchen is serving many kinds of delicious and healthy food, my son likes it so much. When the weather is nice, children can go out to the farm which is amazing. Honestly, this is the best Nursery I have ever seen.

Brilliant nursery with a lot of good facilities and activities to help my child progress and learn. Staff are very friendly and help encourage my child to communicate at his own pace.


The routine is just right for him to adhere to. Also, food that is cooked, my child loves - as normally he is a

funny eater. Overall my child loves to come to the nursery as each day is a new day of experiencing new adventures and activities.

My child spent a year at the nursery and has grown and developed exceptionally well in the care of caring and knowledgeable staff. Staff knew him really well and ensured that the individualised care he received was appropriate for his needs. Unfortunately, we have relocated as a family, so we have changed
nurseries. He has now settled in very well to his new nursery and I believe that St Paul's Nursery has helped to shape him into a well rounded, bright and confident little man, which has prepared him very well. We only wish we could have taken the nursery with us. Thank you so much to all the staff and the managers of the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for St Paul's Nursery 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.847 for St Paul's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 4.948 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Paul's Nursery is based on 11 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.948

  • 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.
