What a brilliant nursery! Our son loved it here but sadly we had to move as we moved house. The team are amazing and the level of support they offer the children is incredible. In particular, a big shout out to two staff members in particular and all of the staff in the baby room. The relationship they
developed with our son made him so settled and he loved going to nursery! We would highly recommend Grange House!

Brilliant nursery, always kept up to date, children are well looked after and are given a variety of activities to do. Very encourageable with my little boy, he has come on so much since he started.
I've never had any issues and the staff are lovely and very informative.

Grange House is a brilliant nursery. They are so lovely and genuinely care for all the children. My little boy loves going. We get regular updates and pictures on the app as well as a detailed debrief on collection. The app is great as informs of nap times, what they've eaten, and nappies. They didn't
mind me messaging in the early days when my little boy cried at drop-off, only for them to reply quickly showing how settled he was. My little boy has definitely learned a lot since being at Grange House, it's amazing to see. Also with the improvements to the outdoor room etc things are only going to get better. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely love these amazing bunch of people. Both my boys have attended several nurseries due to us moving house twice. Grange House Day Nursery has been the best hands down. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. I drive in the opposite direction to work so my son can go there. It’s worth it xx

After viewing a number of local nurseries, this is the one I felt an instant draw to. The staff were engaged with the kids, the children were all happy and when I explained the issues my daughter has with her vision (she wears contact lenses and patches during the day) the staff took initiative instantly
and suggested a few things they would avoid, such as having sand play on the days she attends.
Since starting there almost 2 years ago she has come on leaps and bounds, loves going to nursery and has a wonderful relationship with the girls who take care of her.
There are varied activities she’s able to take part in throughout the day which has helped develop her social skills hugely and also has the opportunity to develop independent play.
I’m so pleased this is the nursery I chose for my daughter and will be sending my second child in a few months' time.

My child has been going to Grange House since April, when he started he didn’t even hesitate to run through the door and doesn’t even look back at us most days when we drop him off. His speech is coming on leaps and bounds and he’s learnt so much. The staff are amazing with him and follow his lead when
he gets overwhelmed and he now handles his big feelings and emotions so much better as before he started he would have little meltdowns, but now he’s able to navigate his emotions in other ways and that’s all thanks to nursery. He loves the staff, we’re always hearing how he has a lot of cuddles so it’s just lovely for us to know he is in such a caring environment. As a new mum, I was filled with anxiety about sending him anywhere but Grange House instantly put me at ease when we visited! Couldn’t recommend them enough.

My son went to Grange House for 3 years starting back in 2017 and absolutely loved it so I had no hesitation in sending my daughter there in 2020 when it was her turn to go. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and so friendly that you are instantly put at ease leaving your child there for the day.
My daughter loves the outside space and all the different activities they do. I like the app that is used which keeps me updated throughout the day. I couldn’t be happier that both my children have been able to attend such a wonderful nursery.

From being a Grange House Day Nursery attendee myself many moons ago I can honestly say even though the years have passed it somehow still held the feeling of familiarity. From having our first look around it was important to us that the setting felt right and this was instant as soon as we walked through
the door. The manager showed us around and answered all of our questions which we had a lot being first-time parents. She even discussed things that we didn’t even think of and walked away feeling like all bases were covered and we had all the information. The settling-in session was great, not only for my child but also for us as parents and more so because we were massively impacted by the lockdown. The nursery has been nothing but accommodating with day swaps, advice and updates at pick-up time telling us what the little ones have been up to. The communication through the app has also been amazing! It’s lovely seeing pictures and progress your child is making.

Grange House Day Nursery is an amazing nursery. All the staff are friendly and helpful and really care about the children and take the time to get to know them and interact on an individual level. I felt reassured from day one about leaving my children there, knowing they are in the best hands. My eldest
loved the nursery and my youngest is now there and loving it too. Could not recommend it more highly!

The staff are absolute angels.
One staff member, in particular, is amazing! She totally understands my daughter and my daughter is so comfortable and happy around her. Her handovers at the end of the day are always detailed, honest and she will always end on a positive note. It doesn't ever feel like
anything is too much trouble and we are always greeted with a smile. We are ever so grateful to this staff member- she has transformed my little girl's experience of nursery.
Another staff member is equally as friendly and has been more than accommodating and catered to our requests (there have been a few!) during our time here.
You ladies are superstars and we are so glad that we discovered Grange House Day Nursery.
What a beautiful place to send my children.

Everything about this nursery has filled me with so much reassurance, confidence and happiness that my little boy is having the best time when he goes. From the food, activities, facilities and the app where I am kept thoroughly up to date throughout the day, I can’t recommend this nursery enough. Thank
you to all the staff for all your love, care and support who in my eyes, has the most and do the most important job of all… looking after our babies.

My little boy has been going to Grange House Day Nursery since he was 12 months old and is now nearly 3! As a working parent who works irregular shifts, Grange House has been amazing in accommodating nursery dates for me. I’ve seen him grow from strength to strength and come on leaps and bounds with
the support from staff.
We have amazing communication with staff and staff support my child in managing medical conditions and know when he’s not right.
I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they have done to help him grow.

My son has been attending the nursery for over a year and he has really settled here. He is quite a clingy child but at nursery, he is very confident and it’s clear when dropping him off he has good relationships with all of the staff.
My son loves attending nursery and he has come on so much since
attending. The staff are brilliant and I love the app where I am able to see pictures of the activities they do and updates about his day.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.098)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.098) out of 10 for Grange House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Grange House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.098 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grange House Day Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.098

  • 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.
