I highly recommend this nursery and the especially the staff in the Toddler Room. The staff go over and above when it comes to the care of my child and the personal touches are so innovative and caring. My child loves going to nursery and knows all the names of the staff. The nursery often have family
days where you get to meet the staff and talk about your child and answer any questions. The days are always such fun and the fine details are impeccable. They think of the children and the parents.
The children are always made feel special and given the most thoughtful gestures like making Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday cards for parents, Christmas cards....the list goes on. The most special gift we have received was a bauble with a length of ribbon in which was dated and the ribbon was the length of our child that year. I will treasure that forever.
I really cannot express in words how grateful I am to all the staff and the work they do.

We love Yellow Brick Road Nursery at Bracebridge Heath. All the staff know our daughter and say hello, they're helpful and provide detailed reports of the activities each day. They're always coming up with new and original tasks and events, especially following on from events outside of the nursery
(for example a holiday or an exciting weekend activity).
Our daughter is always enthused by Yellow Brick Road and learning. They instill key values such as 'kind hands' and 'listening ears' which have been great to transfer to behaviour at home too.
We highly recommend Yellow Brick Road.
PS. The chef's cooking is amazing!

As a mother of a child with allergies, I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery staff and the extra mile the cook goes to ensure my daughter's allergies are catered for and that she is kept safe. They have gone above and beyond in ensuring there are risk processes in place to ensure she is safe while
in their care and I cannot thank them enough for this.
The staff are excellent, my daughter absolutely loves her key worker and going to nursery and does a wide variety of activities which she thoroughly enjoys.
The nursery provides updates on the app and it's very easy to communicate with staff via a simple message which is great.
The updated outdoor space is great and all the children enjoy it.

Reply from Michelle Delicata, Proprietor at Yellow Brick Road, Bracebridge Heath

Thank you for your review, we do always ensure all children are catered for with allergies, as I know how stressful this can be for parents leaving their children with a nursery if they don't cater for them. We do really appreciate your review.

Yellow Brick Road is a lovely nursery with fantastic staff, they have home-cooked fresh meals every day and I love the added bonus of them providing nappies, wipes, creams etc. It takes the stress of being a working family every day just knowing they provide all of these extra things and it is such
a creative and educational environment for the children to thrive in. Couldn't ask for a better nursery.

Reply from Michelle Delicata, Proprietor at Yellow Brick Road, Bracebridge Heath

Thank you, yes since providing nappies, wipes etc I do feel this has been a huge benefit for all. To be fair this was my husbands idea, so I can not take any credit on this one haha.

The nursery is amazing. My daughter is in the baby room and she happily walks in and leaves so happy. They truly care about the children in their care and I couldn't think of a better place for my child to go to. Their activities are great and they go out for a walk to see the community whenever they
can which is incredible!
I couldn't say anything negative about the nursery, my daughter is thriving there.

My son has been attending Yellow Brick Road since April this year in the baby room, and I couldn't be happier with the service we have received. I was extremely anxious about returning to work however the staff at Yellow Brick Road made this transition so much easier with how well they helped my son
settle into his new routine with them. The staff are kind, patient understanding and are extremely informative when I need any help regarding my son's childcare, and I always feel so confident leaving him at the setting when I am at work. I would like to thank the staff in particular as she really does go over and above to ensure my son has a fun-filled and educational experience whilst in her care. I would highly recommend Yellow Brick Road to anybody considering placing their child here.

Yellow Brick Road has been (and still is) a wonderful place for both my children. All rooms are equipped with lots of engaging toys for imaginative play, and each day a new activity is available for them to explore, including messy play! They have a lovely (newly refurbished) garden to play in all year
round, they also take the children on walks to experience the world outside of the nursery, including visits to the local shops and playground (when age-appropriate!). The staff are warm, friendly and approachable for any queries or questions you may have. My children always eat every meal they provide at nursery which is a high compliment! I would recommend this nursery to anyone wanting their children to receive top quality care in a local setting.

She seems to learn something new every nursery day and they're great at getting her to try new foods and take her naps. Highly recommended.

Yellow Brick Road is a fantastic nursery and pre-school. Both my children have loved their time there. The setting is beautiful, the care given is wonderful and all the staff over the years have been so kind and lovely.
My first daughter started there in 2018, and I've never once had any issues regarding

Overall, a fairly good nursery. Some staff are excellent and genuinely care about the children. Since the garden refurb the outdoor space is so much better and a huge hit.
The app is great so you can check throughout the day what they're eating. Would be nice to include the daily activities but understand
this may not be feasible due to the time it takes to input.
I do feel due to being full in capacity not all children's different developmental needs are always met. Unfair for the older ones to be held back from being surrounded by the younger ones. My son was kept in the baby room way longer than he should've been but couldn't move up due to no space. He did go up some part of the day leading up but not enough.
I've had a few instances where he's come home with dirty nappy pants which I highlighted at the time and it wouldn't happen again for a while. Food menu is great, he eats some things at Yellow Brick Road I would never make (in a good way)! I feel listened to when I raise concerns so can't complain there.

Reply from Michelle Delicata, Proprietor at Yellow Brick Road, Bracebridge Heath

Thank you for your review. I would like to respond to some of your concerns. I know it can be frustrating when we sometimes can't move children to the next room, but I would like to stress this would make no difference. All activities are based on the ability of the children within the room and are enhanced to challenge the individual, so if your child is 1 yr 6m and another child was 2 year we would ensure the activity challenges both age groups. All rooms within the nursery are designed by myself and I ensure each room is an extension of the next room. All that does change within any room is the ratio of the children. I do apologise for your child going home with a dirty nappy, this is not what YBR stands for and I have put measures in place for this not to happen again with any child in our nurseries. I'm happy to hear you feel listened too, as we do always strive to provide the best service to each and everyone one of our parents.

I cannot thank the staff at Yellow Brick Road enough, for the support, confidence and experiences they have supplied our daughter with. From only attending 1 half session per week for around a year and recently being increased to 2 full sessions per week, she has come on leaps and bounds. Her ability
and confidence was seen at home, but in public, her shyness and lack of confidence was all people saw, even with external family members. Since attending the setting, we continuously receive positive feedback about how amazing it is to see her chatting away, playing and just being happy. This is entirely down to the confidence she has built up from attending the setting and I couldn't be more prouder for her. Me and Dad both extend our gratitude to the kind, patient staff who have and continue, to make a huge effort to build up relationships with her and give her the reassurance she needed. Thank you!

Our daughter moved from being in the care of a childminder and has attended Yellow Brick for just over a year. Since then she's grown massively in confidence and enjoys going to nursery. She knows the names of all the staff and comes home with lots of stories from her day there. The staff are brilliant,
sending regular updates and they do a lot for the children and parents.

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, Bracebridge Heath 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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, Bracebridge Heath is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 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, Bracebridge Heath is based on 25 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 25 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.
