We are incredibly pleased with the experience our daughter has had at Sandfield. When she first started, she did not speak any English, but now she communicates confidently and fluently with her peers and teachers. The progress she has made in such a short time is truly remarkable.
Our daughter used
to be very clingy and heavily dependent on me, and she had difficulty connecting with other children her age. However, since attending Sandfield Daycare, she has blossomed into a sociable, independent, and confident little girl. She has made wonderful friends and looks forward to going to daycare every day.
The staff are not only friendly and welcoming but also genuinely caring and attentive to each child's needs. They have created a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that has greatly contributed to our daughter's development.
We are extremely grateful to Sandfield Daycare for the positive impact they have had on our daughter's growth and well-being.

I am very pleased I decided to send my daughter to this nursery. I have watched her progress significantly since sending her here. The staff are brilliant, very easy to approach and always come across as positive, friendly and helpful. The food is great, nice healthy variety of snacks and dinners. The
hygiene is also very good, I always see them cleaning daily. Best of all they upload pictures of activities children do regularly on the app.

The staff work closely with me as a parent to ensure mine and my child's needs are met.
They share what my child has been doing at the nursery and how they plan for her to progress, aswell as ways I can support this at home.
They offer stimulating activities and she loves her nursery days and talking
about everyone there.
I love how the nursery is situated within a park setting and that you have a soft play area so she gets to burn off some energy no matter what the weather.
Thank you for being so caring!

My twins have been attending Sandfield Day Nursery since they were almost 2 years old and were nonverbal when they began their journey at the nursery. The staff welcomed them with open arms and supported their developmental needs and speech therapy plan. My twins have transformed over the last 3 years
and they are ready for school. I thank all the staff and management for helping our family. It takes a village to raise children, and Sandfield Day has been a part of mine. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your lovely words, we have also enjoyed our journey with the twins.

We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery, and I cannot praise the staff enough for their dedication and care. From the very beginning, they have made us feel welcome and ensured that our son received the best possible care.
I would like to give a special mention to the staff, who took extra
care with my son and his allergies. Her attentiveness and dedication have been truly exceptional, and it has given us great peace of mind knowing that he is in such capable hands.
Additionally, the manager has always been incredibly friendly and approachable, making every interaction pleasant and reassuring. Her positive attitude and kindness have made a significant impact on our family.
Overall, all the staff at this nursery have been amazing, and we are grateful for the wonderful care they have provided to our son. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and friendly environment for their child.

After struggling and leaving one nursery setting for my then 18-month-old, I was very sceptical about getting them back into a nursery! However, the baby room was a completely different atmosphere than previous. It was a small number of babies with direct attention from the nursery team and it showed.
My daughter was so happy to attend nursery and had been all throughout her years there. She's flourished and hit all her milestones in each setting (baby, toddler and preschool). I've watched her confidence and independence grow and prepare her for "big school" which in turn fills me with confidence that she'll be fine going on to nursery school and reception. Thank you to everyone at the nursery! They don't just support your child in nursery they help with parents and issues of childcare costs etc where they can, with a vast knowledge of how and where to apply for anything.

This is the 2nd daughter I have sent to this nursery, I love how they continue to grow in their professionalism and training. It's a great nursery that gave my child lots of confidence she is consistently praising herself and her younger sibling with such positive words that she herself has been praised
throughout her time at the nursery, such as magnificent and superstar. Academic-wise she is already hitting a lot of the targets you have to meet at the end of the reception and she starts reception in September, so it's not just play it's learn and play with Sandfield.

I have been sending my children to Sandfield Day Care since 2021, my daughter is now 3 and since I have had a boy and sent him here too. The nursery has a great atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and my children come home very happy. I've recently taken up new opportunities at work and I was
only able to do so due to being so comfortable with my children being at this nursery. I can't thank the staff enough, and the management staff are lovely and have always been really reassuring to me should I have ever had any concerns (naturally every parent does). Every day I get feedback on their day and food consumption, if there are any concerns the nursery has during the day (if one of them gets a fever) they contact me to let me know and update me on whether medication was given to them, and I think it's really satisfying to know that they are being taken care of even though I'm not with them. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

Our daughter started nursery when she was 6 months old and we have always been happy about the care provided to her.
The staff has always been lovely, caring and mindful. We are also grateful for the fact that our daughter has been able to learn English as it's not her first language.
The nursery
has always been able to provide us with extra days, sometimes with really short notice, if needed.
We like the fact that a lot of different activities are provided, indoor and outdoor and we were able to see the progress in our daughter's learnings.
We definitely recommend Sandfields Nursery and, as our daughter is starting school in September, we will miss all the staff there!

I really like Sandfields Day Nursery and the activities they do for my daughter.
I would see it better if they had more variety of snacks for kids.
In general, my daughter likes coming to the nursery and enjoys the activities as well.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.593)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.593) out of 10 for Sandfield 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.895 for Sandfield Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.895

  • 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 4.698 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sandfield Day Nursery is based on 12 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.698

  • 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.
