My little girl has gone to the nursery since she was 10 months old and I can truly say it's a fantastic nursery in every way. It was a huge step putting her into nursery but from the early days to now the girls are so attentive and so caring. Her development has improved a lot due to the hard work and
time the girls spend with her. She goes four days a week and is very excited every time she goes.
Communication with staff is great and I look forward to seeing pictures and updates on my little girl every day!
Highly recommend.

Our child moved to Thornhill after having a rough time at his previous nursery. The staff and service here have just blown me away. From the moment we visited it felt like home. Every staff member has been approachable, talkative and friendly. They have embraced a new challenge with an Epi-pen and have
been so thorough with risk assessments and keeping me informed and involved. My little boy has changed so much already in a few weeks, he has really responded well to the preschool and it's as if he's been there for years. Absolutely would recommend this lovely place!

Looking back, I have no idea why I was so nervous to send my children into nursery. Right from the very beginning, Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school have gone above and beyond to make both my children and I feel welcomed and comfortable. The setting is absolutely beautiful with such a wide range of
toys, inside activity spaces and a large outdoor space. They have taken all of the best parts from education types and created their own way which is perfect for every child. Both my 3-year-old and 10-month-old are absolutely thriving in this setting, within a relatively short space of time they've built strong relationships with the incredible ladies who work here which is beautiful to see. To see them both go into nursery with ease and trust that they'll be well fed, supported, loved and educated in a way that suits their learning needs, and to know that I will be informed throughout the day of what is happening is something I value more than anyone could imagine.

I really couldn't ask for my child to be cared for any better, there isn't a single thing I would change about the nursery or the staff. In fact, if I win the lottery tonight, I'm stealing you all to travel the world with us to look after the children. My daughter is fed really well, the menu is amazing
and she eats really well because of that. Her manners are exceptional and her development is impressive for a 2-year-old. I absolutely give you guys the credit for that so thank you.

We're so happy to hear that you're so thrilled with what we offer here at Thornhill and that you can see the developments your daughter has made during her time with us so far. Fingers crossed that you win the lottery tonight - I'm sure the team would love to go travelling with you! Thank you again for taking the time to write your review, it really is appreciated.

I highly recommend Thornhill after removing my son from a previous setting, the manager of Thornhill was extremely accommodating to accept my son and bent over backwards to get this done very swiftly and as smoothly as possible! The team who look after my son are second to none. My son has established
a wonderful relationship with all members of the staff, this enabled his transition to Thornhill to be as comfortable as possible. The nursery itself is a fabulously newly refurbished building with excellent facilities. I would strongly recommend Thornhill to anyone that was looking for a nursery setting.

Before my daughter was quite shy, but since going to nursery, she is happier, more agile and more confident in crowds. The nursery is very clean, the toys are very good and wooden, so cute. She loves the teachers at this nursery very much. One month for my daughter to get acquainted with the nursery,
with the teacher and friends, I feel very pleased to see that she can explore many games and lessons and become more agile after nursery. My daughter is very happy when she comes to the nursery; she does not feel strange when she comes here. When the teachers pick her up at the door, she automatically reaches out and wants to join the class with the teacher. That made me feel like I had chosen the right school for my little girl. I can feel secure at work; every day I can also see my daughter through the posts of teachers about their children in the parent area. Now, I want to change the session from 1 pm-6 pm to 7.30 am -6 pm. Thank you so much to everyone here. Love all.

My grandson has attended this nursery since it reopened in January. He absolutely loves his time there and the team are always so warm and welcoming when I come to pick him up. He has developed so much since starting at Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school and I believe this is due to the experiences
he is having and friendships he is forming, that cannot be done in a home environment. Thank you for taking such good care of my grandson, I would highly recommend this nursery.

Love this nursery, it’s helped my little boy with his confidence so much. All the staff are lovely and welcoming to both me and my son. He always tells me he can’t wait to go to nursery and see his friends. Normally he is shy and has a hard time settling into places, but he settled in straight away
at Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school. I’m always kept updated throughout the day with pictures, and I am told what he’s got up to while he’s there. This nursery has helped his speech, confidence and made him much happier than he was at his last one. I’d definitely recommend to all parents; this is an amazing nursery!

Our little boy loves this nursery and is always happy to go. He started after the refurbishment. The settling in sessions was brilliant and made me feel confident that he would be happy there. He has lots of new learning and fun experiences. Both the rooms and garden are amazing with all the fun equipment.
He has started walking since he started there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We get updates and photos on our phone, so know what he’s up to. The rooms are very clean, and everything feels safe Covid wise as well.

We are delighted with the support and understanding that all the staff at Thornhill have offered during our daughter's settling in sessions. The environment is second to none, fantastic equipment and endless opportunities to learn. We love the 'child-led' mindset that the nursery follows and all of
the staff are clearly dedicated to making nursery life safe, exciting and comfortable for the children... and parents! We were really quite worried about our little girl transitioning into nursery life, but the manager and the team did everything that they could to make us feel comfortable with the process. The unlimited settling in sessions allowed our daughter to bond with staff and become familiar with her new environment. I highly recommend Thornhill to anyone looking for 'home-from-home' childcare option.

The best nursery in the area! My little boy started at Thornhill nursery after the refurb, and I can honestly say, it is fantastic. We looked at so many nurseries across the area, but nothing compares. The rooms are incredible, really spacious and calming and the staff make you feel so welcome from
the minute you book a visit. I know that my boy is in the best possible care, and I get constant updates and pictures on my phone about his day, which allows me to see all the fun he is having! I was really nervous about my boy starting nursery, especially with the pandemic, but the unlimited settling in sessions and homely, family feel of the nursery soon put our minds at ease. I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Thornhill 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.871 for Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.871

  • 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 Thornhill Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 15 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 15 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.

Hello,


I’m Becky and I am delighted to be the Nursery Manager here at Thornhill Day Nursery.


I have been working in childcare for 16+ years and have a breadth of knowledge within the sector. I have a BA (Honours) degree in Childhood and Youth studies, as well as a range of other qualifications, including a Level 3 in both Speech & Language support, and Special Educational Needs (SEN).


I understand how important the beginning of a child’s educational journey is, and I strive to make this the best it can be, by ensuring that we meet each child’s individual needs. I have completed lots of work on enabling environments and creating communication-friendly spaces and strongly believe that anything implemented should make a positive impact for the children.


I am extremely passionate about the Early Years and find this job the most rewarding role. I love watching and nourishing all the little personalities of the children develop and see them proudly achieve their goals.


I am thrilled to be a part of the Tommies Childcare family as I believe that our vision and values are in line with one another, which enables me to manage my team effectively to ensure that the children build a solid foundation to grow and flourish.


I would love to show you what Thornhill Nursery has to offer and introduce you to my wonderful team, so why not book a visit?

Hello,


My name is Sharna and I am the Deputy Manager at Thornhill Day Nursery.


I have always had a passion for working with children even from school age where I started gaining my first pieces of knowledge through my child development classes. From that I point, I carried on into college where I completed my BTEC National diploma in child care.


I then went onto university where I gained a qualification in Primary Education with a special focus in the Early Years. Since that point I have worked in a range of different settings ranging from schools, a Montessori nursery, after school settings and then finally Thornhill.


You will see me most days in Preschool having fun with the children and helping them become school ready.


Why not come and see the nursery for yourself by arranging a visit?
