I can’t praise Field House Day Nursery enough. We immediately knew this nursery was the one for us and 15 months later I can’t believe how lucky we have been. The staff are fantastic and the facilities wonderful. Our little boy absolutely loves attending and is so happy each morning when we drop him
off. He really loves the staff and it’s an absolute pleasure watching him learn and grow.
Our son suffers from food allergies and they have handled it wonderfully, supporting with the various “food ladders” and keeping us well informed throughout. Their communication, in general, is top-notch; they always make time to talk/discuss any questions we have and we love receiving their updates throughout the day. The new management team have made the environment even better and they made our return from lockdown very easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Field House to any prospective parent and can’t emphasise enough how special the place is.

This is my first experience settling a baby into the nursery, and the whole team have made it so much easier for my little boy and me. They are constantly updating me via the app on how he is doing and encourage me to call whenever to check in and put my mind at rest. We are now at the end of week 2,
and he really enjoys going to nursery, and I am totally confident he is in very capable and caring hands. I can see how he has built up a relationship with his key worker already, which is a testament to her caring nature. Any issues we have had as part of his settling in (sleep), the team have positively partnered with us to resolve. The facilities are great, particularly the outdoor space. I couldn’t recommend it more.

My 3-year-old daughter has been coming to Field House since just before she turned 1. I have nothing but positive experiences with them. Particularly with the pandemic, my daughter always loved going but after being home with me for 12 weeks she seemed to suffer separation anxiety on her return. The
ladies have been nothing but supportive and honestly amazing at settling her back in. We have our happy little girl back who proudly and excitingly goes into nursery every morning. My daughter absolutely adores the whole team at nursery, and we as parents could not be happier or more grateful. Not only this but the vast amount of activities they do with her, the fantastic food and the lovely bonds they have, make it so much easier for us knowing they are having so much fun all day.

My daughter attended Field House Nursery from January to September 2020 and we were thrilled with the care and education she received while attending. Even during the lockdown period, while attending another of the Tommies settings, we received daily updates and observations detailing her progress.
The new team within Field House have been caring and attentive to my daughter and we know she was well cared for. She was provided a varied and healthy menu for lunch and tea, which she ate very well. There was a rolling snack time available, which we are sure she took advantage of and water available to her at all times.
Our daughter is very much an outdoor child and this was used as a focus for her learning. We had many observations where activities were taken into their beautiful garden, so the staff could follow her interests but also provide her new learning opportunities and challenges.
I would like to thank the team for their hard work and would highly recommend the nursery.

Our two boys (3 and 16 months) have been attending Field House Day Nursery for the last couple of months. They settled in extremely quickly and it was good to know that they could have as many settling in sessions as they needed.
They are both always very happy to get into nursery, some days without
even a backward glance! Our eldest absolutely loves playing out in the spacious garden and it’s great to receive daily updates on the ParentZone app with photos of him beaming and having fun with his new friends! The app is great too as we know exactly what our youngest has been up to and his food, sleep and nappy changes.
The staff are always very friendly and caring and our boys have already built lovely relationships with them. We would definitely recommend Field House Day Nursery to other parents!

My daughter started at Field House Day Nursery in August, after not seeing many other people, and especially few other children, because of the national lockdowns. Because of this, I was slightly apprehensive as to how she would cope in a new environment, with lots of new people and seeing less of me.
Despite my concerns, the Manager and the Deputy Manager and the whole Field House team made me feel both confident and reassured, regularly updating me on my daughter's progress and how she was on a daily basis. After only a few weeks attending Field House, my daughter is happy to leave me in the morning and always seems to have had a great day upon pick up. She gets to participate in new activities, spends time with other children of her age, eats new foods and loves the garden space. I always feel completely at ease after leaving my daughter in the morning, confident that the team are professional and able to manage her needs. I would certainly recommend the nursery to others.

Excellence from the drop off in the morning to the pick up in the evening.
Our daughter has been attending Field House for a little while now and my wife and I cannot say enough about the nursery and the staff working there. Every staff member gives a warm, friendly smile when you reach the front door
and our daughter settled in without a problem. There is so much for our daughter to do at the nursery. The resources are of excellent quality and the way they are laid out promotes intrigue and learning. They are at differing heights to promote movement and the tasks are also varied to prevent boredom and train different skills.
Absolutely stunning menu which caters for all diet types. It is great that there is opportunity for our daughter to eat independently, but also an option to provide assistance should this be required.
The new layout and design at the nursery has made the garden so much more accessible, and what a garden it is.
The staff at Field House care. Thank you.

We currently send both our children to Field House: they both started when they were 13 months old, with our 4-year-old son just about to leave for Reception and our 2 1/2 year daughter still there.
We are really pleased with the standard of care our children have received during this time. Although
there have been periods of staff changes, the current staffing team seems very stable. They are incredibly friendly, professional and caring. Our children seem very happy there and our son seems well equipped ready for the next stage of his education.
The physical building has transformed over the past few years, and now has a fantastic outdoor space: it is a very natural space, that provides lots of fun and adventure, as well as moments of calm and relaxation.
We would highly recommend.

I have two children at Field House, a three-year-old and one-year-old and I couldn’t be happier with the care they receive from the amazing staff. My one-year-old has been there two months now and has settled so well. She’s happy, loves the staff and the homely feel as well as the amazing garden and
outdoor space. My three-year-old is in the preschool and loves all the activities on offer, there’s something different every day as well as a really well-structured routine. Not to mention the food which he always has seconds of.

My son has been at the nursery since he was three months old (now three years old). This nursery has gone through many changes over the past few years. For a while, the nursery was losing staff quite frequently and there didn't seem to be a great atmosphere.
Then recently since last summer, there
have been some big changes that have turned, over the months, this small nursery into a really fantastic one. It started first with great works in the garden to make it a really beautiful and enjoyable garden to be in for the children, with a fantastic water play wall and a teepee. A new deck was installed as well as sliding doors to allow a free flow outdoors.
Then there was a big change in management and staff, with some of the best staff remaining and fantastic ones coming in. There has been a complete reorganisation of the nursery, now separating toddlers from pre-schoolers, which was greatly beneficial. New cohesion between staff, the atmosphere is really positive and relaxing.

Reply from Debbie Gunn at Field House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Dear Natacha,
Thank you very much for your lovely review.
It does make our jobs so worthwhile to see the children enjoying the facilities we have to offer here at Field House.
We're so grateful that you have embraced the care and love the staff team provide to the children, and that you are happy and engaged with the work we do as well.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is very much appreciated.
All the best,
Nursery Manager.

My child started at Field House 8 weeks ago and I have to say that the staff have been brilliant in supporting him to settle in.


He enjoys nursery and has really bonded with members of staff! He’s settled in so well and I feel really happy with the decision for him to go to Field House.


He has

learned new words, words to nursery rhymes and explored lots of different ways of playing.


A member of staff always has a chat with me when I pick him up to tell me how he’s been that day, how he’s been playing and what he’s been eating.

temperature and called to let me know. I am very happy with the nursery.

My 1-year-old has been at Field House for the last 6 months now and she has settled in brilliantly. She absolutely loves going to nursery and often doesn't want to leave when I pick her up! The staff are very caring and sweet towards her, giving her lots of cuddles and attention. Her language has come
on really well since starting and she's always coming out with new words that she's learnt. She's always playing contently when I pick her up so if she's happy I'm happy.

My 2-year-old has been at Field House nursery since March 2018 and he loves his days at nursery. This is mainly down to the wonderful staff who go above and beyond to ensure not only that the children's needs are met, but also that they keep the daily activities fresh and fun. My son has extremely good
bonds with the staff and especially his key worker. All of the staff are always happy to take time to talk to you on any issues and are always on hand to assist where they can. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Field House nursery to other parents.

We have been so pleased with our experience with Field House Nursery. We were nervous about sending our son to nursery, but the induction process made it so easy. Staff were excellent with our little boy from the very beginning. He has now been going three days a week and we already can’t believe his
progress. He is greeted in the mornings by a friendly member of staff, and when we pick him up in the evening he is just as happy as when we drop him off. The daily updates are great, and so are the progress reports we get. It’s so wonderful to be updated on what our boy is doing when we’re not around. From painting, different kinds of messy play, and outdoor time, he is always kept busy with new and interesting activities. We would happily recommend Field House to other parents.

I have been very happy with the Field House nursery since my daughter joined 4 months ago. Although there have been some staff changes (which seems to be common at any nursery) I'm always greeted by a happy and enthusiastic employee, and they quickly get up to speed with each of the children. It's
great to receive the daily updates and regular progress reports and I actually think the staff probably undersell the amazing work they do to help each child develop. I have seen huge strides forward in my daughter's development since she joined the nursery and she's always excited in the mornings when I tell her where we're going. Would definitely recommend Field House.

My son attended Field House for a few months before we, unfortunately, had to withdraw him. I was very disappointed that we had to do this because he really loved his time there. He was happy every day when I picked him up. He particularly enjoyed the outside space that the nursery has, and I know that
this is one area the nursery had plans to develop, so it is likely to be even better in the future. There seemed to be quite a lot of different staff, but always some core people who were regularly there and they all seemed to know my son quite well, what he liked and didn't like etc. They knew how to comfort him when I dropped him off and he was a bit upset. Just before he left there was some renovation/building work and the team were making improvements to the space. I would definitely recommend Field House.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Field House Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.892 for Field House Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 Field House Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 10 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 10 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.

I started out my childcare career just over 15 years ago by training as an apprentice in a preschool. Over the years, I’ve worked my way up from an Apprentice to Deputy Manager, working in various supervisory roles along the way. I’ve been here at Field House for nearly 2 years, starting initially in a Third in Charge role before recently being given the opportunity to step up as the nursery’s Deputy Manager.


I know first-hand what it is like as a parent to choose a nursery. I had my first child in September 2020 and felt many of the same things that all parents feel when it is time to return to work. I would very much like to invite you to visit our fantastic nursery so that you can learn more about the amazing opportunities we provide for young children. Arrange your visit today.
