My daughter is currently here full-time and has been since she was 8 months. The staff are absolutely fantastic and even those from other rooms know her name and are always friendly and welcoming. The facilities are brilliant and the team have made great utilisation of the space available. My daughter
has learnt a lot here and I really cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

I have never been so reassured to leave my child with Malborough day nursery. They are all so helpful, friendly, kind, loving and professional. Whatever problem we have had. They have reassured me. Every new phase she moves into, they have adapted to encourage her to bring her on emotionally and her
skills. My daughter started to have an allergy with dairy. Once we brought it up they changed her menu to accommodate. I'll be really sad for her to leave to start school, as I am when she leaves a room to move up to the next. Thank you for everything.

After moving our son to Marlborough Day Nursery from a local failing nursery (which then got shut down by Ofsted) we could not believe the difference.
Every single aspect was a million times better than we had been used to at the previous nursery.
Our son really looks forward to coming to nursery
and he has made some lovely friends with both other children and also staff. All staff are brilliant, know who everybody is and genuinely want the best for the children whereas at the previous nursery it was clear that some people were just in a 'job'! Our son loves telling us the adventures he has been on and what he has done with the other children. The nursery teaches respect and that is so important to us as a family. We have since moved house meaning that to take our son to the nursery is a 20 minute round trip where we could have a nursery in the village we live and work but we couldn't ask for any better than Marlborough and any more children we have will go there too.
Highly recommend!

My son has recently started here at Foundation level after moving from a nursery in a different area. I am impressed with this nursery, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and helped my son settle in quickly. He loves his routine including wearing his slippers and picking his own breakfast, and
has already learned so much. He surprised me last week when he started counting in Spanish, a skill he has solely picked up from this nursery, which is fantastic as he has only been there 2 weeks! The layout of the setting is also very good. It feels clean and welcoming, and I am pleased to have picked Marlborough Day Nursery for my son and would highly recommend it.

My daughter previously had an unpleasant nursery experience at another establishment, I was really worried about her settling in at Marlborough and expressed my concerns. From her very first settling in session my daughter was so well cared for. All the girls at Marlborough have been genuinely caring
and attentive toward her and she now talks about nursery in a positive way. I'd have no hesitation recommending Marlborough Day Nursery to friends and family. It's truly fabulous!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Marlborough 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 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 4.949 for Marlborough Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 4.692 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Marlborough Day Nursery is based on 18 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 130 number of registered child places is 26. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.692

  • 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.

Joined: 2012

I have over 20 years’ experience in early years; a career that I am very passionate about. Marlborough is where I trained and qualified and it just feels like home!
