Our daughter loves coming to nursery. It has helped her become a more outgoing child. She loves all the activities and enjoys being outside. Especially, I feel it has helped her develop as a child as a whole.

I am very happy with the child care, which is provided at The Melton Mowbray Nursery School for my 2-year-old son. Staff are very professional and extremely caring and always giving me satisfying handovers at the end of the session. My son has settled in very quickly, and he is making beautiful progress
in his development journey. Absolutely love it.

I have to commend all of the staff at the Melton Mowbray Nursery they do a brilliant job and take such great care of my Son. Throughout the Covid pandemic, I have never once worried that my child is at risk while attending. He has a brilliant time there.

My two-year-old daughter is my second child to be going through the nursery, both starting as soon as they turned one. I could not be happier with the quality of care they have both received. The management and staff at the nursery are extremely friendly, caring and professional. The staff form really
lovely relationships with the children and I have always trusted them completely. I will always recommend the nursery to other parents.

My three-year-old son has attended the nursery since he was 11 months old and has always loved every second of it. The staff are extremely attentive and just generally lovely. The food always sounds delicious, so much so my son usually has two servings! My son is about to start in pre-school and I am
looking forward to seeing his progression.

My 3 and a half-year-old daughter has been attending Melton Mowbray Nursery since she was 10-months-old. They have been great with her throughout and particularly since she joined the pre-school. She always comes home with a smile on her face after lots of activities, crafts, games. She comes back each
week with something new she has learned.
Her brother is 18 months and despite only going 1 day a week, he now strolls in as soon as he sees the girls. They are fantastic with the kids and it makes them so comfortable.
I never worry about leaving either of them as I know the team will make sure I’m informed and will contact me if there are any issues.
I cannot recommend enough.

My daughter has been attending for the past 10 plus months. In that time she enjoys it and looks forward to going. My only concern it seems to be getting a lot larger class sizes taking more and more children.

I've used this nursery since my eldest son joined about 6 years ago, I still currently use the nursery for my 4-year-old (who will be joining school in September) and I have just applied for a place for my 9-month-old for him to start just before he turns 1.
I love the nursery and everyone that works
there. Such friendly staff and they go above and beyond to look after the children.
All of my boys have so far been happy here and I can't wait to carry on using you for the foreseeable future.

My son has been at Melton Mowbray Nursery School since he was 10 months old and he has developed no end. He loves going to nursery and all of the staff members. They always take such good care of him. He's such a happy boy, and this continues at nursery. They're good value for money and always have
so many activities to keep the children entertained.

We have been sending our children to the nursery since April 2015, our son (now at school) and daughter (moving up this year). We could not be happier with the facilities, choice of food, outdoor space, level of activity, and most importantly the care of the team who have spent over 40 hours a week
caring for our children over the last 5 years.
Our son left the nursery for school with confidence, creativity and eagerness for learning that has absolutely been instilled by the nursery. Our daughter still squeals with excitement when pulling onto the nursery driveway! The preparation she is getting in the pre-school is just fantastic. The genuine care that the team show with cuddles, hugs, affectionate nicknames and just knowing our children inside out has made us both, as full-time working parents, more than happy that we had chosen the right people, and place to nurture them before starting school.
I do not hesitate in highly recommending Melton Mowbray Nursery School.

Extremely good nursery. Have had both of my children attend since less than 1yr old and both absolutely love it. The staff are great with the kids, the nursery setting is lovely with loads of outdoor space, and they're really accommodating for dietary requirements which is a huge bonus. Definitely,
recommend.

The nursery itself is a lovely size, the rooms the children are in, are spacious and have plenty of room to play comfortably in. The garden especially is a fantastic area, it’s very large and full of lots of toys for them to play with. The staff are very friendly and always welcome us when we arrive
and know all the children by name. The manager is very easy to talk to about any concerns, issues or problems you may have. I have no concerns when I leave my son there for the four days a week he attends. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to a friend. Keep up the good work and keep your standards high.

This has been a fantastic nursery. My daughter has loved attending from the age of 9 months and will be leaving in August when she starts school. The staff are amazing and do so much to nurture and develop the children. My daughter has developed so many skills with the staff. The meals are all prepared
on site and fresh and varied. I can’t recommend the nursery enough.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Absolutely amazing nursery managed and run by some incredible (and very patient) people. When picking my son up from nursery he is always full of smiles and excitement and when I am told what he has done for the day it is never the same thing over and over again so the nursery offers a fantastic variety
of tasks. The one thing myself and my wife have noticed is how far he has come with his talking and communication skills and credit goes to his key worker and the nursery. Due to my wife not working the same shifts each week the nursery cater to our needs incredibly well which removes a lot of stress and worry in whether he will be able to get into nursery for the day.

My son attends the Melton Mowbray Nursery school and I would thoroughly recommend the nursery to parents looking into nurseries in the local area.


I was so upset and worried at the thought of having to put my son into nursery full time and it was daunting having to look around at the different options,

especially with my son being my first child, I didn't know what to expect.


I can't fault the nursery, all the staff are so welcoming and accommodating. They bend over backwards to ensure your child has the best possible experience whilst they are at nursery which is so reassuring for you as a parent.


You receive regular photos, updates and reports on how your child is developing which is lovely to see. You are always welcomed in the morning and staff remember your child's name so it feels a real personal experience. If your child develops food likes/dislikes, the cook will accommodate different options to ensure your child has a good meal experience.


Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Melton Mowbray Nursery 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.912 for Melton Mowbray Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.912

  • 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 Melton Mowbray Nursery School 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
