Nothing but positive things to say about Nature Trails. Our daughter is so well cared for, is developing wonderfully there and we have absolute trust in all the team. This is our 3rd child to attend and we have confidently recommended it to others.

Nature Trails is an outstanding nursery, and we couldn't be happier with the experience our daughter has had during her three years there. From the very beginning, the caring and nurturing environment has been something we love most. Our daughter looks forward to going in each day and always leaves
with a smile, excited to share all the fun and learning from her day. She has developed strong bonds with her keyworkers and formed close friendships with her peers, all of which have played a vital role in her growth. We've watched her thrive, gaining new skills and growing in confidence every day. The nursery has truly laid the foundation for her future education, fostering a love for learning and curiosity that will serve her well in school.

As a single mum starting a new job, navigating the different childcare options and support available was overwhelming. The admin staff were incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making the process much easier. My daughter's first days at nursery were a big transition,
but the warm and welcoming staff reassured me that she was in good hands. Now, six months on, she absolutely loves going to nursery every morning, and I've seen such a positive change in her confidence and development. I couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.

Amazing nursery, both my children attend and absolutely love it. The staff and care that they give to the children is faultless. The meals they provide are fresh and healthy and the outdoor areas are so lovely. It is like a home from home for my little ones.

Our little girl has attended Nature Trails Day Nursery for 2.5 years and has loved it. Her speech, personality and politeness has developed brilliantly due to the great care and individual emphasis on each child of the nursery. The management is phenomenal, very friendly and professional and any issues
are quickly and effectively dealt with.
We chose the nursery based on the emphasis of the kids spending much time outdoors and they have great facilities to keep kids engaged and excited to be outside.

My son has been at nature trails for over two years now and loves coming to nursery each day. He's always in a rush to get to his room. He's has built strong bonds with all the staff in all of the rooms he's been in. There's always lovely activities out that peak his interest and keeps him engaged.
The outdoor spaces are amazing and well kept too. My son loves the food he has at nursery and always eats well.

My son loves his time at nursery and all of the girls in his room are amazing with him and he gets excited to see them. They have really helped him to settle in.
My son eats most of his meals and he always seems to have a great variety of food. He sleeps well at nursery too which shows that he is
comfortable there.
My son comes home with artwork that he has created which is lovely.
Each day when I pick him up, the girls in his room always give me a thorough handover of what he has been doing which is great to know all about his day when I have been missing him at work.

Our child has attended Nature Trails from 9 months old through preschool. Has always been a lovely nurturing environment. Any issues or concerns are always listened to and addressed.
Could do with a few more updates on the app, multiple updates a day when they are babies but drops to once a week or
every other week by preschool. Staff are always happy to discuss child's day/progress at pick up and drop off.
Overall a lovely environment, which encourages children to learn, play and grow their confidence and independence.

Our twin daughter's have thrived at Nature Trails. They have benefitted from consistently excellent care and support throughout the phases, tailored to meet their development needs. As parents, we have enjoyed strong relationships, with staff who have always been clear, approachable and supportive.
We thoroughly recommend Nature Trails as a place for all children to thrive.

I have been very pleased with the level of care, professionalism and services Nature Trails has provided for both my children over the years. Providing fun and educational activities in a warm and inviting facility, also with the outdoor spaces available (weather permitting) children are able to learn
outdoors. All these factors establish a keystone in a child's overall development for the future.
My eldest attended Nature Trails 2020-2022 and is still greeted like she never left, interacting with staff when collecting her younger sister today. Highly recommended.

Over the moon with the care my daughter has had since joining Bumbeblees two. I was very anxious for her to start nursery but they have been nothing but reassuring to both me and my daughter. Her key person has been amazing and my daughter now asks to come and see her. The nursery has also met all of
her complex dietary needs which is a huge relief.

Whilst it is still very early days for our child to be at the nursery, we’d like to take the opportunity to say thank You to all of the staff, as so far everyone has been great, from the very beginning with the introductory meeting and settling in sessions, right up to now, we couldn't have felt any
more welcome.


Now that our child has started, they predominantly spend their time with nursery ladies, who have both been absolutely wonderful. They’ve taken the time to get to know our little ones, to create a welcoming and settling environment for them, and to make sure we as parents are kept fully informed with updates both via the app and also upon each collection, which really puts our minds at ease, so a particularly special mention and extended thank you, to both of those!

My daughter has only been attending for one month but I’m so impressed with everything so far. Each member of the team has made us feel so welcome and genuinely takes an interest in my baby’s progress which is a real comfort.
The team has gone above and beyond to ensure our routine is carried out
each day and in a really supportive way. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and would recommend it to anyone considering it.

An amazing nursery that we couldn't be happier we chose for our children. Our two girls have flourished under the nurturing care given by the staff and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. If you can you should send your children here! Our eldest has just left to go to school having spent her entire
nursery time here. She has been cared for as an individual throughout. She has thrived and is ready to start school, all thanks to the staff at Nature Trails.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Nature Trails Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 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 4.901 for Nature Trails Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (292 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.901

  • 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 4.888 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nature Trails Day Nursery is based on 27 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 152 number of registered child places is 30.4. 27 Positive Reviews ÷ 30.4 = 0.888

  • 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.
