My child started at Nature Trails at the end of last year aged 1. She has had a brilliant time there. The key workers are great, and make you feel at ease leaving your child, especially during recent times. The facilities are also second to none! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nature Trails. I look
forward to all of the adventures she has ahead of her there!

I have always been very impressed with the care, the facilities and the activities available to my twins. A really great location surrounded by countryside and with woodland walks to the rear. My children have always been very happy there.

Fantastic Nursery in a great setting and great staff. Always approachable and friendly. Both our children attend and they love going to Nursery to see their key workers and friends. The way the Nursery have handled the recent Covid-19 situation has been exceptional with constant updates and fairness.
They
make the process from induction to daily drop off and pickups easy and straight forward with lots of information given of the days activities. Most places rely on good staff who build a good rapport with the parents, and rapport and friendliness come in abundance at Nature Trails. Nothing is ever too much to ask and its always a friendly approach. Recommend anyone to visit this Nursery if you are in the process of choosing. It was an easy choice once we had visited.

I have been extremely happy with Nature Trails, and I now have both of my children there. My eldest is due to start preschool next month, and my youngest has just gone into his second room there.
All the staff are super friendly and helpful, and they offer you all the reassurance that you need.
They
have always been extremely accommodating, and work with you to suit the needs of your child.

I have two boys aged 1 and 3 that attend Nature Trails. They have only just started this month but already I can see the benefits. My 3-year-old especially is expressing how much he loves learning and playing within the setting.
Both children go with their key workers happily, so I can be at work
knowing they are comfortable and settled.

I have visited several nurseries and this one is the best by far! The minute I saw the facilities and outside space, I knew my daughter would be coming here. The staff are very friendly and professional and made sure that my daughter settled in well. After a few weeks, I’ve noticed my daughter’s vocabulary
expanded and she started showing more interest in the natural world, which I think is very important in our technological era.
Overall, she absolutely loves it here (even asks if she can come to nursery on weekends) and we are very happy with the choice we’ve made. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Nature Trails enough, the setting is beautiful, so much space and lovely garden space for the children, all of my little one's teachers have been incredible, so welcoming and friendly and wonderfully supportive and caring to both my child and me as a mum. The activities are varied
and really interesting and the food is diverse and offers my little one lots of different flavours to what she would have at home. If you are looking for high quality, special nursery you have found it in Nature Trails.

This is a brilliant nursery. My son wasn't settled in the first nursery and we transferred him to the childminder first followed by Nature Trails. Obviously we were a little bit apprehensive. The staff at the nursery and his key person were absolutely instrumental in him settling in and having a fantastic
time. It has been over a year since we joined Nature Trails and I wouldn’t look for a better place. The staff at the nursery are extremely professional and truly care about children. You always get a warm welcome From the nursery manager or deputy manager and the reception and you can always be sure children are busy and learning every day with some fantastic extracurricular opportunities such as going down the farm or yoga classes. The staff get constant training which is important for me as a parent. The food quality is fantastic and healthy and the location of the nursery away from busy roads and noise is excellent.

A wonderful nursery, that makes your child's happiness and development their number one priority.
The outdoor space is truly inspiring, with regular outings to the woods, taking the path past fields with cows or sheep in, the setting really is idyllic. I couldn't wish for somewhere better for my daughter
to be making friends, and starting out her early years education.

Nature Trails Day Nursery, Cawston is simply fantastic. Our daughter has been attending since she was 13-months-old and she is now 2 and a half. Her key workers are so caring and we feel reassured leaving her in their care. All of the staff are friendly and go out of their way to cater for her allergies.
I can't recommend it highly enough. An absolutely magical place with a real family orientation.

Nature Trails is absolutely fantastic. I could not think of a better nursery to send my daughter. My son went to the same nursery and we have never had any problems. I go to work knowing she is safe and well looked after. She is so happy and the staff do not just look after her, they care about each
child in their care. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, they have acted completely responsibly and appropriately to ensure the staff, children and parents are safe whilst maintaining their incredibly high standards of care.

Nature Trails and all of the staff members could not have been better over the last few months. They have gone out of their way to assist my family in my son's transition to nursery. My son loves his key person, in the mornings when we ask him if he's going to play, he smiles back at us. The activities
that he does at nursery are brilliant and he's so much more confident having attended nature trails. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Our son started when he turned one. He is now about to leave preschool to start his next chapter in life. A total of four years at the nursery.
I cannot recommend Nature Trails highly enough!!
Every single staff member had been like a friend and treated our son with compassion, kindness and love
that has seen his early years develop into the amazing boy he is today.
The building is wonderful, the food is 1st class (I wish I could eat there) and the facilities are excellent.
A very well run and structured nursery that we have thanked our lucky stars for every day that we made the decision to take him there.
We will miss you all.

I absolutely recommend Nature Trails as a day nursery. Our daughter has gone from strength to strength, since she joined over 2 years ago. Our daughter loves going to nursery and is always excited to share with us the great things she has been up to that day.
The staff are amazing, nothing is ever
too much for them. The care and attention they give to all the children is incredible.
The setting is fantastic, with lots of open outside space and access to the woodland. The communication is great, as parents, we are always kept informed and asked for our opinions and feedback.
We are very pleased to have found such an amazing nursery!

Nature Trails is a fantastic nursery set in a great location close to woods where the children can explore and understand nature.
The staff are fantastic with the children and every day there are new activities. I am able to keep up with what my child has been doing throughout the day on a parent zone
app which shows pictures of them at play and interacting with their friends.
Every child is treated as special and looked after in the best possible way.

We have put both our children through Nature Trails now, and couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they’ve received. Nothing has been too much trouble, especially during the recent easing of restrictions. Staff and management are well trained and hugely approachable, always putting the children
first. Facilities and resources are second to none, creating a great environment for the children. The nursery has fully embraced hygiene and safeguarding guidelines set out during the pandemic, and we’ve been very impressed with how this has worked.
Would wholly recommend sending your child here.

The staff are so welcoming and friendly, my son loves going to nursery. With the COVID-19 virus still here, the staff have made the nursery very safe by following the government guidelines and putting all measurements in place to make the nursery safe for parents
and children. My daughter is starting Nature Trails in September too, I would not put my children into a different nursery.

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.
