My child wants to go to nursery and on coming out I can tell he's had a great day, he loves it and always has stories to tell.
The app is great to keep me updated with what he's doing day to day.
I picked this nursery for him off the back of a visit because when I was looking around all the children
were happy and smiling.
I couldn't have hoped for a better place to send my son.

We’ve received exceptional care from day one for our children. From management to the nursery practitioners, to the on-sight cook, everyone is so lovely and caring, giving us a great high standard experience. I always recommend Grange House Day Nursery to any family and friends who are looking for a
nursery setting.

Friendly staff who are attentive to my child's needs. My child enjoys and looks forward to attending Grange House. It is a safe and stimulating environment that looks after the needs of the children. Staff are helpful and arrange extra activities such as drama which my child loves.

Both of my children really enjoy their time at nursery and always look forward to it. They offer a wide range of activities that not many places offer such as French, Makaton etc. The staff are really welcoming and take the time to get to know each child. The nursery has a very safe and secure atmosphere
which makes dropping children off very easy, would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Grange House. My daughter has been attending since she was 6 months old (she’s now 4), and has always enjoyed her time spent there. The staff are excellent and really care for the children. My daughter particularly enjoys her French lessons, all the craft activities and playing
outside in the secure walled garden. There’s also a wonderful menu that my daughter thoroughly enjoys. Overall I can’t fault any aspect of the care my daughter has received.

My son has been here since he was 10 months old (he is now 3) and is very happy. The staff are all very friendly and good with the children. There is a lovely play area outside with lots of toys and a grassy area. Meals are provided and are freshly cooked at the nursery which is a big plus.

The nursery are absolutely fantastic. Before my daughter joined the nursery they were so lovely and inviting for us to look around. It put me at ease as a mother and the staff are so friendly and professional. I feel comfortable talking about anything with my daughter's key worker and always feel supported
as a mother. My daughter started at 6 months and has come on massively in the time she has been there. Amazing job, couldn’t recommend the place any more!

After using a nanny for my son's first few years, I found joining the Grange nursing a better choice. He has learnt more at the nursery than he did with a nanny.

Our son has been coming full time for three years now and he is so happy here.
With the help of Grange House he is a lovely confident boy. The staff members are exceptional. I think our son loves the food here more than he does at home, fabulous menu.

My little boy has been at this nursery a year now.
He is very happy here and this is clearly evident when we drop him off and collect him.
The staff are so friendly and welcoming.
Each member of staff all knows my little boy's name, even though they are not in the toddler room, where he currently
is.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody.

The staff at Grange House are excellent and take special care of each child. My daughter has been going to Grange House since she was 10 months old and she has thrived in the environment which provides stimulation, learning, outdoor play and activities to help her development.

I would like to say a BIG THANK You to all the amazing people working at Grange House Nursery. Our boy has gained so may little friends and started to be more independent because of your hard work. It doesn't feel like I'm taking my boy to a Nursery because you all create a homely and warm atmosphere
where he feels safe and comfortable.
Thank you.

Overall, I am very pleased with the nursery. My son has been there since he was 7 months old (now 22 months) and he appears to be very happy.
Due to the nature of my job, the nursery have been more than accommodating with my shifts.
The staff are fantastic and the care towards the children is excellent.
The facilities outside are quite small with the space. My son is only 22 months so not at the learning stage yet.

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.
