We have been blown away by the support that Nature Trails Day Nursery has continued to give to our two girls. Our eldest is just about to go to school and the juncture has really made us reflect on the impact that the nursery has had on her and it’s just huge. We will never be able to quite find the
words to express how grateful we are.

This is the second time round we have used Nature trails with our children. All of the staff and team are lovely and very caring. They support the children so well and genuinely care for them. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting there and would like to go every day if he could.

Both children attended this nursery and we always had great support for our eldest before he left for school. The staff were very friendly and helpful and both our kids loved it when they were there.
The only slight feedback I would have would be towards the inconsistency of child updates and the
car park being a nightmare.

My daughter has been going to Nature Trails since she was nine months old and it never ceases to amaze me how brilliant the staff are. They are friendly, polite and go above and beyond for the kids.
The development I have seen since my daughter started is wonderful. She often talks about her key workers
at home and has a big grin on her face when she does so.
All in all, a wonderful place to be for babies and children alike.
I cannot recommend them enough!

I am glad I decided to send my son to this nursery. He loves going into nursery each time even though he’s there 8am- 5:30pm which is a long day for a young child. He loves cuddling his key worker and has a lovely bond with her and a lot of the staff there. The facilities are great indoors and out.
The genuine care for the children is amazing and they are always looking at ways to support their development. My mother in law works in a primary school and says the medical care and learning reports they do are exemplary.

Great nursery. Both my kids love it there. The staff can accommodate any special requirements that children have. The kids get to do a lot of outdoor activities and are allowed to get pretty messy, which I personally think is a great thing. The only challenge I have faced is parking during drop off
and pick up.

My son goes to preschool, it's a beautiful nursery with some talented, helpful, polite and always smiling staff. My son has learnt a lot after joining the nursery and keeps learning new things every day. He is always happy in the nursery and willing to be there every day. The nursery is so spacious
with a lovely garden and forest school for walks.
Though this nursey is not the cheapest option, in my opinion, it is worth it.

The Nursery is set in such beautiful surroundings. We are always greeted with smiles, although that could just be for our son! We have only just started at the Nursery but the staff in Caterpillars are wonderful, always happy to help and always listen. The more time goes on and as we get to know more
of the staff in older rooms we feel ever more confident that our son will grow to be an independent little boy. The rooms seem well stocked with resources, each catering to individual age groups. The gardens are huge too, and so many different areas. We were even sent home with some lunch for our son one day as he fell asleep over that time, and it's things like that that make all the difference. I'm really happy that our son is able to come here. Big thank you to all the staff that care for our family and we hope to get to know more of them soon!

This is my second child I've sent to Nature Trails and can honestly say I wouldn't dream of sending them anywhere else! What an amazing environment and start to learning life they provide. Every single member of staff in all of the rooms both my daughters have been in are truly amazing and a credit
to the nursery. The manager and the whole team truly care about your child and take the time to get to know them so you feel so assured you are leaving them in the best hands. My eldest daughter had the most incredible four years which really gave her the best start to school life I could have hoped for and my youngest is blossoming and learning so much. My youngest struggles with separation anxiety and drop-offs can sometimes turn into upset but her brilliant key worker and the manager have worked with me to ensure this is as stress-free as possible, they really are great with her. The communication is great as are the events they hold for the nature trails kids and family. I 100% recommend this nursery.

Our daughter began attending Nature Trails 2 days a week when she had just turned one in November 2022.
We are very pleased by the care and attention given to her by the staff in her room. They have always been enthusiastic to see her each morning and give us detailed feedback about what she has been
doing that day at pick-up. They clearly have a good understanding of her and pay attention to her needs e.g. give her cuddles, which she loves, notice her likes and dislikes. They have already successfully managed to wean her off her dummy, which is more than we could do at home. We can tell that she is enjoying her time here and that there is a good amount of staff which whom she has bonded with including her keyworker and this gives us peace of mind that she is having the best care possible.
Communication with the nursery is excellent. I would highly recommend Nature Trails.

Nature Trails have really helped settle our child into nursery and were very kind and understanding of our anxieties as parents leaving them for the first time. They do lots of activities and often get outside, and our child has settled well and quickly (and hasn't been left with anyone else before
nursery so it was a big step). The staff are warm, welcoming and so kind and gentle in their approach! We have sometimes had to ask for updates as some days we haven't had many updates but generally, we get a couple of photos which are really lovely to get and reassuring! We are very happy with the nursery and feel confident our child is in safe hands.

Fantastic nursery and staff. My little boy is in the ladybird's room and has come on in his development in the short time he has been there so far.
Amazing outdoor area and facilities.
He always goes into nursery happy and willing to play.

My child started at Nature Trails Day Nursery in September 2022. He only goes for two days of the week but since starting he has gone from a shy child, not wanting to interact with others, into a confident and bright boy who loves to interact with others. I'd highly recommend every parent send their
child here, the staff are amazing and always greet you and remember every child's name.

My eldest son started with Nature Trails in October 2018 and left to start school last month in August. My youngest son, had his last session last week after deciding to move him (purely for convenience). My experience has spanned four years, two children and every room with encounters with most staff
working there. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. The management greets you at the door every morning with a huge smile. They say hello to you and your child personally, I always find it amazing that they know everyone's names, but they do! Aesthetically, the building, gardens and rooms are beautiful and well resourced with everything you would expect from an early years learning environment, and more. I have only ever witnessed care, compassion, understanding, kindness and energy from the staff working there. Sports day and Pre School graduation are personal highlights. Memories of the amazing staff will last with me forever. Cannot thank you enough for helping our little two!

Our time at Nature Trails Day Nursery is coming to an end soon, as my son is off to school, and we are all so sad to be saying goodbye to everyone. From the moment you walk into the reception you are greeted at the door by happy smiley staff, the manager and her team are amazing, there has never been
anything that the management team hasn't been able to do, from baking an egg free cake for my sons birthday to putting on fantastic events such as sports day, graduations and plays. In the entire time we have been at Nature Trails we have never had reason to complain, our son has been well cared for, loved, challenged and above everything, he's been extremely happy. The staff in his room have been consistent and excellent, and he has an amazing key adult, she is brilliant and he will miss her the most. The facilities are second to none, as is the food in terms of quality and variety. This nursery is amazing and if you are thinking of sending your child to it, don't hesitate it is excellent in every way!

We are just coming to the end of our journey at Nature Trails Day Nursery who have successfully prepared both our children for their lives ahead. They both enjoyed every minute from 6 months old to primary school age. The staff are great, facilities are great - can't complain at all. Will miss the place,
although will try to come back for the excellent summer fair next year!

Great management team, staff listens and keen to help when feedback is provided. Eldest came to nature trails and now second daughter is there too. Would highly recommend.
They held a summer event for Jubilee, which allowed parents to get to know the natural surroundings for their children. It was
a fab success. Thank you

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.
