A great nursery - we have sent all three of our children here with confidence. The staff are caring and really supportive - they are like extended family members to us, they mean so much.
The fees are transparent. Whilst the fees are high, it's the same with other nurseries including those attached
to private schools.
The nursery is clean and thoughtfully decked out for the children - the management take immense care in making sure the nursery is as engaging for the children as possible with learning play and activities.
My little one has made friends and has confidence - nursery has helped him grow ready for school in September - thank you Yellow Brick Road.

This school is a home away from home for our son. He is loved and cared for with the kindness and love he would get from home. The teachers encourage positive behaviour and always have fantastic activities for the children to learn from and enjoy.

We cannot speak highly enough of Yellow Brick Road they have been amazing in the 6 years we have used them! Both children who attend absolutely love it there and are always happy and content when they come home! The staff genuinely care for not only the children but the parents as well. They have supported
our entire family through some very turbulent years due to health complications and we honestly couldn't have managed without their support, especially from higher management! The facilities they have at the setting are excellent and they always go above and beyond to give all the children the best experience and learning possible!

I have 2 boys who have been at Yellow Brick Road since they were 6 months old, they are now just leaving at the ages of 11 and 12.
The manager and the team have always gone above and beyond in every aspect for my children, the setting and the whole environment.
We have always been well communicated
with and extra attention has been given when one of us has been away through work.
My boys are thriving socially, educationally and values and I absolutely credit Yellow Brick Road for being part of this.

My children have always loved going to Yellow Brick Road, they have both progressed so much thanks to the nurturing and care provided.
The meals are varied and healthy, giving my children chance to try different foods.
Enquiries are always promptly replied to by management and they are very accommodating.

My daughter has been attending Yellow Brick Road for just over 6 months and absolutely loves it. The staff are all very kind and caring and I love that I get updates and pictures of what she's been up to. The outdoor space is amazing and the nursery is always very clean. This is the second time using
Yellow Brick Road for my children and I wouldn't want to send them anywhere else.

I moved my daughter here from another nursery and it's the best decision I made for her and us as parents. The staff are lovely, knowledgeable and most of all, know my child. The premises are clean, thoughtfully decorated and planned out. The activities are engaging with fresh ideas and resources that
link into the family approach that really encompasses the nursery.
My daughter is always so happy to attend her sessions and I feel very comfortable and relaxed knowing she is having the best time!

My 2 children have been coming to Yellow Brick Road since they were babies. It is a brilliant setting and they are very lucky to attend such an outstanding nursery.
There is always something fun to do and the staff are lovely. I am sure the nursery has helped shape the well-being and confidence of
my children. The children always love the food and they are so happy to come to the holiday club, I have no problems getting them up on those mornings!

My daughter first started at Yellow Brick Road in 2021 followed by my son in 2022. Yellow Brick Road is the most incredible nursery and I have nothing but praise for them for how they have cared for my children over the last three years. The staff are incredible and work so hard to provide a home-from-home
setting with new and exciting activities every week, with regular pictures and updates letting you know how your children are getting on. Both my son and daughter have thrived at nursery and learnt so much, we couldn't be any happier.

My daughter has been going to Yellow Brick Road for over 4 years now she started in preschool and then did after school club and breakfast club while she is at school as well as attending holiday club there.
My daughter has ADHD, attachment disorder and is on the SEN register. Yellow Brick have been
and continue to be amazing with her and given her a safe place to be herself and enjoy herself.
She is really well looked after and the staff are amazing. She has been encourage to be independent. Which for my daughter is a big thing now she is 8. Couldn't ask for a better provider. They understand her needs and are fantastic. Nothing is too much of a trouble and are happy to give advice when needed.

My little boy started just after Easter and he has come on in leaps and bounds since he started. The staff are so understanding and supportive, my little boy was unsure and used to get upset when going in now he gets excited and runs in happily. Can't recommend the nursery enough.

Reply from Michelle Delicata, Proprietor at Yellow Brick Road Daycare, Metheringham

Thank you, I'm so happy your little boy has settled so well at Yellow Brick Road. We do work really hard to ensure our settling in procedures are followed for all children to ensure a smooth transition, as I know how hard it can be when dropping off your child if they are not settled.

We moved our little boy here when we moved house. On his first day, we were given a little pack-up for us to welcome him which was a lovely touch. He has come on leaps and bounds in both his confidence and his speech. The nursery staff are all super warm and nurturing. They also put on Hot chocolate
at Christmas time for the week before they close and frequently have little cupcakes for the parents. Couldn't speak more highly of them.

Reply from Michelle Delicata, Proprietor at Yellow Brick Road Daycare, Metheringham

Thank you for your review. It is very important to me and my husband that we provide, not just the children but also the parents a very high service and standard, which includes all our parties, hot chocolate and treats, gifts etc. Thank you for taking the time to write this review it means so much.

Our child is so happy and thriving at Yellow Brick Road. Never a tear at pick up or drop off.
It's a warm friendly environment with a lovely home-from-home feeling.
She learns more at nursery than we could ever teach her.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

I cannot express enough how happy my child is at this nursery and how the staff make every child feel special. The menu and cook are brilliant and the activities are great and we are always informed. Their approach and ethics are outstanding. It's always clean and the little touches like fresh fruit
and aromatherapy oils and soft music in the entrance make it stand out.

Reply from Michelle Delicata, Proprietor at Yellow Brick Road Daycare, Metheringham

Thank you, I'm so happy you like the reception area, it is so important to me the nursery is providing a high standard, from walking through the reception through the rest of the nursery. The chef is amazing and always delivers such wonderful meals and snacks for all children. Thank you again for taking the time to write this review.

We absolutely love Yellow Brick Road. Having had both of our boys looked after by the wonderful YBR family over the last 5 years, we could not be happier! Being a military family we absolutely love the family vibe and our boys absolutely adore every member of staff. With our youngest having an allergy
the manager and the staff go above and beyond to make sure the allergy is managed and he is catered for to his needs! We couldn't ask for more! Thank you so much to you all!

The nursery environment is lovely and it is clear that there has been a lot of investment made in the facilities and things for the children to play with. The outdoor space isn't huge but is well utilised and the children spend a good amount of time outside which my little one loves. The staff are friendly
and helpful and I definitely feel content leaving my little one there.

All the staff at Yellow Brick Road are so amazing and you can tell they genuinely care about every single child. It is just like a home from home. My daughter often asks me if she can go to nursery even on weekends! Cannot fault it at all and always recommend it to anyone looking for childcare.

After my son had not settled in at childminders for over 3 months Yellow Brick Road Daycare Metheringham were so accommodating from getting us on the waiting list to organising settling-in sessions and then getting my son started. He settled so quickly and proved to us the previous setting was not for
him. He has gained so much confidence at nursery and gets excited to go in in the mornings.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) out of 10 for Yellow Brick Road Daycare, Metheringham 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.927 for Yellow Brick Road Daycare, Metheringham is calculated as follows: ( (356 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 383 Ratings = 4.927

  • 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 Yellow Brick Road Daycare, Metheringham is based on 32 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 129 number of registered child places is 25.8, which has been reached with 32 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.
