My daughter attended the preschool and attended for 15hours. I found that the preschool wasn't right for her at all. Didn't improve her confidence and she wasn't really ready for school afterwards either. My older daughters attended another preschool which was so much better and had them trying to
write their names, counting to 10, talking and having conversations clearly. Not right for us at all. Final nail in the coffin was the graduation party, they knew we were coming but they had forgotten our daughter's card for the seating plan. Not ideal. Managers were lovely but not sure about my daughter's key person.

Our experience with Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows has been nothing short of wonderful. Watching my child's love for learning and the outdoors grow under the guidance of such dedicated professionals has been a true delight.
Every day, my little one is excited to go and see his friends at
nursery. He has also built lovely bonds with the staff thanks to the genuine care and support they provide.
We couldn’t be happier!

Choosing Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows has been a fantastic experience for our family. The staff are friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for both children and parents. The facility is well-maintained, and the range of activities provided

The regular updates and open communication from the staff have given us peace of mind and a strong sense of involvement in our child’s day-to-day experiences. I am grateful for the nurturing environment they provide, and I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a secure and enriching early learning setting for their child.

My son attends Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows for the breakfast club, after school club and the holiday club. He absolutely loves attending, so much so we book him in most days now. The activities that are available to the children are great and the staff go above and beyond for him and for
us. They are fantastic!

I enrolled my son to Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows and found his confidence grew from strength to strength. The staff are absolutely supportive and so nurturing. The nursery is always communicating with parents which is fantastic and I love how I can see how my son is doing through the observations
that are posted regularly. My son loves the ladies and the friends he has made. Furthermore, I feel that my son is in great hands and trust he is being taken care of well, which is something every parent wants to ensure when they are away from their child.

I am so very glad we came across Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows. Our son has some health problems, which made me very nervous about letting him in a nursery setting, but all the staff members have shown us the greatest of support and I know I can trust them with my son's health. Every staff
member is friendly and caring, going to great lengths to help little ones to develop. Our son has had no issues with adapting to nursery and absolutely loves going there. Looking forward to when his brother is old enough to attend.

A fantastic nursery, my child is happy to attend and has a great rapport with staff and children. The activities are varied and my child often tells me what they have been doing. I often notice things being learnt by new things they come out with eg: new songs and stories. Overall I am extremely happy
with the nursery and would recommend to any family or friend.

Since returning to the preschool in September my son has been so excited and happy every day to see his friends and teachers at preschool. Since the first lockdown as a family we have noticed the preschool have been going above and beyond with the communication; informing parents of the regular activities
taking place in the preschool and the child’s individual achievements or needs. We have also recognised the efforts in the preparation and planning of activities to keep the children happy and engaged during this difficult time. The Covid procedures have been easy to follow and have made life easier for our children to attend. I can’t thank and praise the Upton Ashbourne Nursery staff enough.

So far, my experience has been amazing with the nursery. My twin girls look forward to going into nursery daily. The staff are welcoming, caring and do their best to ensure that the children are OK, learning and achieving.
I have recommended parents and will continue to recommend people to the nursery.
It's been nice working in partnership with the nursery.

My daughter is happy there and has been going there for 6 years the staff at Upton Meadows nursery are always
happy and I have never had any problems. This is a brilliant setting.

Both of my children have attended Little Wiggles and my youngest is still there! It is a fantastic, open plan, engaging environment which offers the children plenty of opportunities.


The staff are friendly and approachable and are never too busy to talk or let you know what your child has been up

to during the day.


Having two very different children, I have been very pleased with the way the children are treated as individuals and individual targets and aims are set for the month/term.


From the first time I looked around Little Wiggles, I have loved the people, the ethos and the environment!

My son went to Little Wiggles for 1 year before starting school and then for breakfast and some after-school sessions and absolutely loved it there.
The only reason he is not currently going is due to my maternity leave.


The team are really approachable and show a genuine interest in the children

and care about them.


I would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.022)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.022) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.522 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows is calculated as follows: ( (37 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.522

  • 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 3.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Upton Meadows is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.25

  • 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.
