I honestly can’t thank Newbank House enough. My baby girl started this week at only 4 months old. As a parent I was so nervous, but I honestly can’t thank the baby room enough. They all go above and beyond to ensure my child's needs are met and she is happy and content always. The room is always spotless
and the activities they set up are very inclusive. I have received a daily diary with information of what my child does and messages about her day which is very reassuring. When I go my baby girl is always happy and smiling and playing and it makes me feel so at ease leaving her so young. Honestly, can’t thank them enough!

I found the process of looking at nurseries for my 13 month old son really nerve-wracking, but I knew as soon as I visited Newbank that I had the right gut feeling! My son has now been attending for 3 months, but only 2 days a week, so I expected it would take some time for him to settle. His key person
(special thanks to her) and all of the team in Tweenies have been so reassuring throughout the process and he has settled much quicker than I anticipated. The variety of food and activities planned each day always amazes me! I know that he is having a fun-filled day with lots of learning opportunities and I have no worries whatsoever. I’m so pleased with my choice of nursery and would recommend to anyone who is as nervous as I was. I look forward to hearing about all of the fun activities that my little man has enjoyed when I pick him up at the end of the day!

My son has only recently joined the nursery. He is in Dinkies with the most amazing girls. Not only has my son settled in to nursery life very easy due to the hard work and determination of the staff members, but he has also found a family away from home. He literally walks into nursery with a smile
on his face, excited to see what the day holds for him. He has a range of different activities set out throughout the day which can also relate to home life. Each and every lady in the nursery will go above and beyond for any one of the children. Not only is it a relief to know he’s in such good hands, but it’s nice to know that they care about your child’s progress and wellbeing. I guess he doesn't call them “Mama” for no reason. Thank you for looking after my boy.

Although my daughter has only been at Newbank House Day Nursery and Out of School Club for around seven/eight weeks, she’s settled in better than I could’ve ever imagined. The ladies are always there to greet her with a happy smile every morning. The setting is bright and clean and although it sounds
silly to say, I feel they take a genuine interest in her well-being and development. The change in my daughter in just seven/eight weeks is brilliant, especially her social skills and also a huge improvement in her eating. I have to do a shout out to her keyworker, the way I feel she cares about the children is just next level. Thank you Newbank for making such a nerve wracking process for a new mum so calm.

My son attends the holiday club here and it is truly amazing.
The holiday club always has a packed program sent out in advance so I know exactly what my son will be doing. The range of activities means he is never bored and really looks forward to the holiday club!
The staff are all lovely and very
professional and even though my son only goes to holiday club he talks about the staff a lot!
Thanks to all the staff for making my working life very easy, no more mum guilt for working holidays!

My daughter has been in Newbank House now for 5 months and she has come on leaps and bounds. The ladies at Newbank are teaching her important life skills as well as manners and following the curriculum. A huge well done to the ladies across the nursery for such a lovely Mother’s Day afternoon tea where
all women of the family were invited. I enjoyed spending that special time with my daughter and getting to see the other mums and nursery staff. My little girl loves all the staff in dinkies and is excited to move up to twinnies next month, they are going above and beyond to get her introduced to all the staff in twinnies and so far so good, thank you to all the staff you are amazing at what you do.

My daughter has attended Newbank House Nursery since she was 15 months old. She was warmly welcomed into the Tweenies room and has since thrived through Main House and now Rising 3’s. She is 33 months now and her face lights up when we mention it’s a nursery morning. I feel the staff build a positive
relationship straight away and they really know how to engage your child. The staff are extremely supportive in all areas of your child’s development and they have been amazing, especially when she began toilet training! The staff plan carefully and purposefully to ensure all the busy tasks in nursery are inviting and fun. She comes home every day smiling and ready to share her nursery news.

My three-year-old grandson goes to Newbank Day Nursery and has done since he was one. The staff are fantastic with him. He was diagnosed with nonverbal autism at 2.5yrs and the staff have been so helpful with him. Each day I get told what he has done, eaten and whether he has had a sleep. If he does
something new the staff get as excited as we as a family do, this could just be something like making a different sound or joining in with other children but these are big steps for a child with autism.
Thank you to all the staff at Newbank House Day Nursery.

Since starting at Newbank House Day Nursery my son has developed considerably in many areas. The activities that he takes part in are well planned and executed: loads of fun and extremely educational.
It is always apparent how much planning and preparation has been done by the staff.
The staff are
fantastic - Newbank has a real family atmosphere: all the staff are so hard working and have fantastic bonds with all the children.
During a recent bout of illness, the staff could not do enough to support myself and my little boy.
When I chose Newbank I did so because it was clean, had fantastic facilities and an amazing educational setting; it has exceeded my expectations.

This nursery is outstanding. The staff are very friendly and supportive. They always communicate with you and keep you informed. My son struggled with separation anxiety and they have helped us through the transition and he is very settled here. They do a wide range of activities and offer a great variety
of food. Would highly recommend this nursery.

I changed my son's nursery after 6 months, as I wasn't happy with the standard of care at his previous nursery. I sent him to Newbank, slightly apprehensive due to my previous experience. I'm quite an anxious mum, at the best of times, with being a first-time mum, but I couldn't recommend Newbank enough!
The staff are so welcoming, kind, and polite... in comparison to other settings I've experienced, the staff are real-life angels, two in particular, the time they take to explain things, discussing development and how/what I can do things at home to assist development, every time I enter and leave the nursery, I feel at ease. They're so passionate about their job and it really does reflect! My son runs into nursery now, I don't have the heartbreak of tears every morning. If you're reading the reviews to try and pick a nursery for your child, this is the one!! I don't leave reviews usually, but this nursery deserves it. Fabulous!

My son is currently in the Dinkies group at Newbank House Day Nursery and our experience could not be better. The staff are incredibly welcoming and kind and really care about the children. They are absolute angels when it comes to getting all of the children to sleep at once. I don’t know how they
do it.
I particularly enjoy the fact that each month is a different theme and country focus for my son to learn about. He’s really getting a well-rounded education at such a young age which is something I’m really proud of as a parent.
As a new mom who has recently gone back to work, it was really hard sending my son to nursery, but he has adjusted so well and I have complete confidence in the staff that my son is looked after well. I have no worries or concerns after I drop him off because I know he is in safe and capable hands.
Thank you so much Newbank staff for providing my son with such an enriching start to his childhood.

My daughter attends just twice a week and has done since August 2021. It's taken a while for her to settle, but thanks to the patience of the ladies at Newbank, she has finally settled. My daughter always eats well, naps well and has a big smile when being collected - in some cases she doesn't want
to leave!
When sending emails, the manager is always very quick to reply and has always been helpful with any queries or questions I've had too.

Communication in regards to invoicing is not always clear. Emails were sent with no follow-up call and a suspension notice was given for child with no explanation.
Overall school club is fantastic and the lady that leads the club is great, cannot fault her!
Snacks for the after-school club are poor,
cheese and breadsticks? Crumpets? For the price, it should be something more substantial.
Otherwise happy with everything else.

Reply from Graham Abbott, Director at Newbank House Day Nursery

Thank you, for your response, although I'm sure you are aware that we offer a nutritious and varied diet for all the children, which is prepared freshly each day, by our in-house chef. Furthermore, we hold a 5-star food hygiene certificate and always have done. Unfortunately, I must disagree with your understanding of exclusion, however, this is not the place to go into detail, but do feel free to come in and speak to us in person.

Having moved my son here at a later age following problems at a different placement the staff have gone above and beyond to make him welcome and he has quickly felt secure and happy at Newbank.


Information is always effectively communicated, staff are always happy and approachable and the nursery

itself is clean and bright. The outside play areas also offer a variety of experiences.


Parents are encouraged to participate in the learning programme with mini homework activities and parent's evening. The variety of food on the menu is excellent meaning my son is often trying foods I don’t necessarily serve at home. My son is always happy and cheery when he has his nursery days.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.838) out of 10 for Newbank House 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 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 4.905 for Newbank House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (305 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 4.933 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Newbank House Day Nursery is based on 28 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 150 number of registered child places is 30. 28 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.933

  • 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.
