Kirby Muxloe is a fantastic nursery and I highly recommend it. Every member of staff is kind, caring, and passionate. They all show genuine care and interest in the children and are committed to supporting their development. They provide a range of stimulating activities and experiences, and my daughter
always has lots to say when she comes home! I have sent both of my children to the nursery - they have very different personalities but both have thrived there. We will definitely miss the team when my daughter starts school in September!

My son has been attending Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery for the last 2 years and I have to say, the staff are fantastic. They are so welcoming, conscientious and genuinely really care about the children there. My son is developmentally delayed physically and the nursery have always made an effort to help
and encourage my son. My son is often apprehensive when being dropped off at nursery but is always really happy, having had a great day when we pick him up. When choosing a nursery, we visited a couple of different ones and we immediately had a good feeling about this one. If I ever have any more children I would definitely send them here, I highly recommend it.

My daughter has been coming to this nursery since the age of 2, she is 4 this year and will be ready to start preschool. I am going to be gutted when she leaves this nursery. She loves coming here and loves the girls in the pre school room. Nothing is too much trouble for the girls here and always help
in any way they can. They are always available to talk to you even if this is via telephone. The facilities here are brilliant, especially for outdoor play! They have a really good range of food offered to the children here also. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery is amazing. My eldest daughter went here and loved it. The staff are amazing and extremely helpful, and their attention to detail is on point. When I fell pregnant with my 2nd child, there was just no doubt in my mind that this is where she would go. Both my children love it.
Staff are always there to help with any questions you have or if you need any help or guidance. I can’t thank them enough for everything they do. Two very happy children.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Our daughter has been with them since August 2021. The staff allayed any anxieties or fears I had leaving my baby with anyone other than myself or the dad. They allowed me to call as many times as I needed. I no longer feel the need to call. I trust them wholly.
The staff genuinely care about the kids here. They treat them with love and respect. Our daughter has developed leaps and bounds since being at this nursery. She's become very (too) confident with other adults and plays well with kids. The activities are always mixed and she seems to enjoy them all and her day, that speaks volumes of the care provided. The nursery are great at giving advice and they picked up on a milk allergy which was missed by professionals! Thank you! When our daughter is poorly,they care for her really well.
The meals are wholesome and varied. They cater for allergies very well. As with all nurseries, they aren't cheap, but here you get what you paid for, everything!

The staff at Kirby Muxloe are amazing! I was so nervous to send my little one to nursery but she loves it there. They are so welcoming and caring towards the children and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I am at peace of mind when my little one is at Kirby because I know she is well taken care of and
the happiest there.

When my baby started I was a little apprehensive as he was born in lockdown and had not been in a nursery environment before. The staff team were very supportive and caring and helped me with any worries I had. The nursery as a whole is very welcoming and can adapt to any situation. I loved that I could
drop him off and not have to worry. Would highly recommend Kirby Nursery to any parent. Thank you to all of you at Kirby you are such a lovely, caring, creative and passionate staff team.

My son has just started at this nursery, and I cannot recommend it enough. I was quite apprehensive because he will be one of the youngest there as I had to return to work, but the staff are always friendly, warm and caring. They show my son such affection, and I have seen him develop considerably.

Our son has been attending the nursery for 7 months now, he absolutely loves the nursery and all of the staff.
After spending most of his early days at home because of COVID-19 we were apprehensive about how he would settle in, the nursery were very understanding and encouraged us to call as many
times as we wanted to check-in. This made the transition a lot easier and we have the staff to thank for that.
The nursery also has an amazing home from home feel, our son loves being outside and the nursery really encourages outdoor play. We have noticed how confident our son has become since attending nursery, he is also learning something new every day. He is growing into such a clever little boy and a lot of that is down to the nursery.
The staff are so kind and are really encouraging. It is also great how the children receive freshly cooked meals on-site each day.
For our first child, we really couldn’t have picked a better nursery.

After maternity leave I was very anxious about leaving my little boy, we had spent all but the first 10 weeks of his life in lockdown and he was very used to our home routine and it being just me and him. All the girls made me feel a lot better about leaving him with them, they follow his routine that
we have at home and he absolutely loves it! It’s lovely that he is getting to engage with other babies still at this strange time (lockdown) and is getting very used to me leaving him which I thought would be hard work, the transition was surprisingly very easy! We also love Tapestry and seeing all the fun things he does whilst at nursery as well as sharing photos from home aswell.

Both of my children attend Kirby Muxloe nursery and have loved it from the beginning. I feel so grateful to all of the staff for supporting them and making it such a happy place to be despite the current situation we’re all in. I’m confident that my children are being looked after well and have both
learned so much through the staff and being around other children. Both my children have gone through changes since being there (weaning, potty training etc) and have been supported totally.

We have used Kirby Muxloe day nursery since 2014. Both children have attended since they were 6 months old and this nursery has been such a positive experience for us all. The staff have felt like family and cared for both kids with the utmost care and love. I feel sad thinking about when my daughter
leaves for school in the summer because our journey with of them will have come to an end but we still continue to recommend them to anyone who will listen.

My son loves it here. He is challenged and cared for, he’s always happy and his development is bouncing forward.
The staff are polite, friendly and welcoming. They care for my boy as if he is their own.
Whatever phase we are going through, or development stage, whatever problems I have, I can count
on the nursery for advice and support.

The time had come for me to return to work, so I had a really important decision to make as to where my little boy was going to attend nursery. From the very first viewing until today I made the right decision.
All the staff are fantastic! The nursery felt like a home away from home and the amount
of activities that my little one participates in is fantastic! As for the food - you can smell the freshness when you walk through the front door and it’s never a surprise that my little one has had two portions. He loves it!
The transition and changes I’ve seen in my boy are amazing which really goes to show that the nursery is doing a great job with his development!

Kirby preschool is a lovely place! An extremely inviting environment for both children and parents. My daughter settled in quickly and has a long list of friends. She herself talks highly of the staff, she loves them.
She especially likes Friday which is gym day and eats well at breakfast and enjoys
a varied lunch which is catered to her pescatarian diet!
The children there all seem really happy every time o go to pick my daughter up and she’s started to be very excited about going there every day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.806 for Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.806

  • 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 Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery is based on 12 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 12 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.
