I am very happy with the Arbury Nursery! The staff are very nice and professional! With the nursery being a small bungalow, it feels very homely and cosy. My little boy has been attending the nursery for over a year now and really enjoys being there, playing and learning new things! I’ve already recommended
it to my friends and I’m sure I’ll continue to do so!

My son has been at this nursery since he was 6 months old and the staff in the baby room are amazing - all of the staff I have dealt with have been great. They have assisted with the weaning process and have helped with the introduction to other children.

The nursery went through a lot of upheaval last year but since the new manager has been in post it’s gone back to being a great nursery! Staff are friendly and approachable and the environment is lovely (especially after a recent refurbishment). My son is enjoying pre-school again and learning lots.

A lovely environment for the children to learn, even more so following recent renovations. My little one has attended for a year now and has developed so well. Good communication when changes are occurring and the children are always at the forefront of everything. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cosy nursery. Friendly staff. My son was very shy when he started but he is now coming out of his shell. He's now counting and practising his colours and alphabet. His keyworker in the preschool room is brilliant. I'm pleased with his progress and the support he and us have been shown. There
have been staff changes recently but I believe they have worked hard so it doesn't impact the children too much.

The nursery has been a lot better since the manager has come back, I have had so many bad experiences with the nursery in the past so wouldn’t shout great news about it at the moment. Although it’s a million times better than it was, I'm sure it will keep on improving.

The nursery has been renovated which makes it look more appealing to what it did before, it has a homely and welcoming feel. There have been new toys added to the rooms which have been really beneficial to the children making it more exciting when the children arrive with new things to play with!

My son started going to Arbury day nursery in October 2017, 3 days a week. He was given lots of support to settle into the nursery routine and the staff were very accommodating of his special dietary requirements. He has always been a happy baby but in the 3 months that he has been attending nursery
he has become so much more confident and outgoing and he has learnt so much. Every day when I pick him he doesn’t want to leave. He loves playing with the sensory toys, singing and dancing and playing with his new friends. I receive feedback every day on his activities and regular reviews of his developmental progress. I cannot praise the staff highly enough, they genuinely care about all the children who attend. It has made me returning to work a pleasure knowing that my son is in such caring capable hands.

I am very happy with my son's experience at nursery. He can be quite shy and sensitive but he is very settled and comfortable here. The staff are very sensitive to individual personalities and needs.

The staff are very approachable and have helped our whole family adjust to nursery life. We enjoy reading about what our child has done each day and have noticed a big change in his development. There seems to be a wide range of activities and our child is settling in really well. I would recommend
this nursery to any parent as we feel valued and appreciate the 'family' ethos created in this small setting.

I started my son at Arbury Day Nursery as I felt he needed a nurturing and learning environment. I could see straight away that I had chose the right place. The staff have put me at ease, as I was nervous about leaving my son for the first time and they cater to my sons interests. Me and my husband
are very happy with the care that is provided for him.

The staff at Arbury Day Nursery are fabulous. Nothing is too much trouble and they will always try their best to accommodate the needs of our family.
My daughter has blossomed in the toddler room and enjoys the range of activities provided - always has a full and busy day to tell me about. The recent
physical improvements are also welcomed, making a noticeable difference to the look and feel of the nursery.

My daughter has been attending this nursery now for 7 months and I am more than happy with the care she receives. Her development has really come along since attending nursery along with her social skills. She is very happy to stay when I drop her in the morning and seems to have a very good relationship
with the girls who look after her there. I have recently started maternity leave with my second child but decided to keep my daughter at this nursery one day a week as she enjoys going so much and has developed so well since attending.

Extremely friendly and approachable. My child has an extreme allergy and the nursery has put measures into place to help. My child's learning and development has also improved well since his time in the nursery. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Arbury Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.963 for Arbury Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.963

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Arbury Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 34 number of registered child places is 6.8, which has been reached with 9 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.

Hi there,


My name is Tej Bhatt, and I am the Nursery Manager here at Arbury Day Nursery.


My passion and motivation to provide the best start for children and families started when I became a mother to my lovely sons. During my 17+ year career in the nursery world, I have had the opportunity to develop my understanding of what outstanding childcare looks like, particularly after earning my Early Years degree.


I have supported my teams in delivering a high standard of care and was delighted to learn that Tommies Childcare shares the same values as I do. I am delighted to be joining a dedicated team and look forward to continuing to build upon the nursery environment at Arbury, which enables your child’s learning and development.


We’re always happy for parents and families to visit us, so book your visit to Arbury today and I’d be delighted to give you a tour and introduce you to our team.
