Grange House Day Nursery has done so much for our family. Our little boy came to you so lost and had been sadly unsupported in his previous setting as a child with additional
needs. Grange House welcomed our little boy with open arms and for the very first time listened to our concerns about our son's
development and responded to them instantly. To think four months down the line our son has received his autism diagnosis this week and we know he is truly understood, accepted and included is astounding. We couldn’t have gotten to where we are today without the support from Grange House and it has been truly life-changing for us and such a positive experience in such sensitive circumstances. Thank you for working with us, always listening to what we have to say and caring for our little boy so well. This experience has also given me confidence and strength as a mummy to be brave enough to take action when something doesn’t feel right. Thank you for supporting us as a whole family.

My child has thrived and loves it here. The staff are very approachable too and will cater for different needs. My child has a dairy allergy and they have been fantastic. There are lots of different learning opportunities inside and outside where we are able to see photos through an app. This is something
I love about the nursery, being able to have updates through my phone about what he has eaten, nap times etc.
I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

As a family we love Grange House. Since my daughter has been attending she has grown so much and has learnt so much. She has a fantastic relationship with her key worker, she even asks for her when she’s not at nursery. All the staff are brilliant and so friendly and prompt to reply to any messages
through the app. We are made to feel at ease when our child is in the nursery which is all down to the great family feel the nursery has. We couldn’t recommend Grange House enough!

After viewing lots of nurseries, we decided to send our daughter to Grange House Day Nursery. We immediately felt at ease, the manager knew all the children’s names and each room was brilliantly busy with a fantastic buzz!
The staff have always taken the time to listen to us and help our daughter
on her journey.
We would just love updates on her progress or things to work on, especially as she is soon to start school. Having said this, we feel at complete ease everyday leaving her in their care and there are lovely updates on what the children have been up to via the app.
Thank you to the Grange House team.

I recommend this nursery to anyone I talk to. My son has been here since he was in the baby room and moved up to toddlers and now pre-school. He has come out of himself so much as a person and is so intelligent and loving and caring. A lot of this is because of this brilliant nursery. All the staff
have always been so supportive of our family too.

When I was looking for a nursery for my son I knew I didn’t want a corporate branded chain, but a nursery that would feel more like a home. Grange House is exactly that for me. My son has been at nursery for just over 18 months and he absolutely loves going every week. They have a really great range
of activities daily and he always eats all of his food. The staff make such an effort to fit in what you would like in terms of routine and our son has never missed a beat. The staff have also been wonderful in helping us work with our son on his speech and he is making fantastic progress. I have no doubt he will be here until he goes off to school and I can’t thank all of the team enough for the great job they do.

I viewed many nurseries when deciding on where to send my 9-month-old last year and Grange House was by far the best, the staff were so lovely and welcoming and my now 22-month-old loves going in, they do many activities with him and the photos I receive of him looking so happy to make me feel glad
that I have chosen the right place.

My son has been going to Grange House since he was 9 months old, he's now 2. He transitioned from the baby room to the toddler room as it's a staff change and more active setting it was so reassuring to see and hear how happy my son was and that's due to the care and time put in by the staff! The whole
team from Grange House are amazing and is like second parents. They teach, care and love our children like their own! I couldn't ask for better, I always say listen to your child, mine goes in happy comes out happy and that says it all to me! I couldn't recommend enough! Huge thanks to Grange House, well done and keep up the good work!

After visiting different nurseries and childminders, I went to visit Grange House and I instantly felt welcome, happy and it had a home-from-home feel about it. From the moment my little girl started she has loved every second, with all the different activities no day is the same. The nursery has recently
built a great outdoor classroom for the children, and I can’t wait to see her grow up within the nursery and continue to learn and grow. As a first-time mum, leaving my little girl was extremely hard - however, I couldn’t recommend Grange House more to anybody. You won’t regret it.

As soon as we looked around Grange House, we were very impressed by how welcoming and engaged the staff were. This sealed the deal for us and we enrolled our son who was then 2 and a half. The nursery staff and management are very understanding and accommodating when it comes to our son's support needs.
They are happy to dedicate time to meet with us regularly to review things and do a great job of keeping us updated.
Every staff member we have encountered has been warm, friendly and patient - they've all taken the time to learn about our son and his interests (even those who don't directly work with him). We really can't recommend Grange House enough and we're very grateful for the support and care they give our son.

From day one we have had the most fantastic experience with this nursery. My little boy is so happy to go there and is always excited! My favourite thing is how well they know him, his favourite songs, favourite toys and his little characteristics. I always feel at ease dropping him off. I feel that
his development has been helped so much by the nurser, he is encouraged every day to use his speech, eat independently and lots of educational play. We regularly get photos and crafts he has made which puts my mind at ease. He always eats well, better than at home. Communication is fantastic and staff and management are so accessible. I feel that they care so much about all of the children and that is the most important thing for me.

When my little boy came to this nursery aged 2 and a half, he was very shy and we were so worried about how he would adapt to this new environment. We didn’t need to be worried, he leaves nursery for school next month the most confident and joyful little character, who is more than ready for reception.
This is down to the wonderful team at Grange House, he’s been taken care of in a safe and nurturing environment from day one. I couldn’t be happier with this nursery. Everything from drama, sports classes, to the many daily creative and learning activities has been great. Highly recommended!

Both of my children have attended Grange House over the last eight years and we feel very lucky to have been able to find a setting which offers everything we need. The bond the children have with staff is second-to-none and I have never doubted the care they have received.
We are kept updated with
our children's progress, get daily pictures showcasing their achievements and activities and above all, we’re greeted with smiles and stories of fun and laughter every day when we get home.
There’s no greater validation needed than a child looking forward to going to nursery and wanting to share achievements outside of nursery with friends and staff on their return.
I am sad my youngest will leave nursery this summer for his big adventure to big school but I am safe in the knowledge he has received the very best start in life.
We have and will continue to recommend Grange House to friends and family. Thank you to everyone who has played such a big part in their development.

My little one has attended Grange House for a year and a half now and she absolutely loves it. It's a really nice feeling dropping your child off to a nursery knowing they're going to have a really positive day. I am extremely jealous of the meals these kids get fed daily, such a variety of foods to
expand their palette. The activities the children get involved with ranging from sports to drama and other arts are really refreshing and lovely to know there is something that caters to all different little personalities. I love hearing the stories from my little one's day at nursery. I appreciate the update of using an app to send out updates, check on your little one, send messages, amend information and make payments. Really helps with a family's busy lifestyle. The staff at Grange House are what I appreciate the most, they go above and beyond. These are the people you want around your children to shape them to become the best little people. So warm, friendly and positive influences.

My son has been coming to nursery since April. His social skills have come on so much in a short amount of time - becoming more confident and making friends. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
My son comes home happy, singing and tells me about his day.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since August 2021 and I could not be happier! She absolutely loves the setting and the staff! She happily skips into nursery every day talking to all the staff! They all seem really connected and invested in every child! She recently moved up to the toddler
room and all the staff made sure her transition went as smoothly as possible, the toddler room does some amazing activities every day and the nursery always makes sure to send us pictures! I couldn’t be happier that we choose this nursery!

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.
