My son 2 1/5 year old has attended this Nursery since he was nine months old. We absolutely love it!! The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The management team are also amazing and get involved with the children, which I think it so good! They very often host charity events which to me just speaks
for itself on the kind nature of all the staff. My son has learnt so much since starting here and will be staying until he's goes to school!

My little one started in April 2024, he is a difficult child and has things that suit his needs. They are very patient with him and understanding and always willing to answer anything. Always friendly and chatty at the doors.

We are really happy with Ashbourne. Our daughter feels loved and like a part of the family there. It's clear the staff are delighted with her and she's made great bonds with all of them and the other children. They are sure to update us, the space itself is fab and she has learned so much since being
there. It's a never a worry to drop her off and I feel safe she's being looked after and loved.

My daughter started at Ashbourne 4 weeks ago and from our first visit up until now, I can honestly say that the whole team have been wonderful and settling in process has been seamless. The lady (who is fantastic) arranged for my daughter to have a weeks worth of settling in periods so that the team
could get to know her and allow myself time to adjust too before I headed back to work. Since starting "officially", my daughter has come on so much in terms of her development already which is down the care and activities from Ashbourne! The staff are so attentive and always give you a thorough report after each day and genuinely care about yourself and your child. They are also more than happy to give reports via phone call (I have called up many times for my own peace of mind!) or via their app. The baby room is lovely with a designated dining area in the conservatory with their own garden too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashbourne to anyone. Thank you to all of the team!

This is a wonderful nursery and I often recommend it to friends. My son was around a year old when he started and my worry about him going to nursery was that he couldn't tell me anything, however, I'm given peace of mind because each day he reaches for his nursery teachers at the door and he greets
them with a smile, and he always comes out at the end of the day very happy, he clearly loves it here! The staff complete such detailed diaries, I get to know loads about what he's been up to and meals. They really cater activities to fine and gross motor skills and help their development, and encourage exercise and imagination. Huge outdoor space!

My toddler is thriving. The staff are so kind and attentive. He loves them all as if they are family members. I wouldn't send him to any other nursery. We could not be happier with the setting. The gardens are amazing and the building is beautiful too.

My child is currently at The Meadows Children's Day Nursery, and has attended here since she was 13 months old. She will be finishing there in September when he will move on to reception. We will be terribly sad to say goodbye. I will be forever grateful for all you have done for our daughter and I
could not recommend them more highly. The staff are all so lovely, accommodating and approachable. My daughter loves attending and I hope the confidence and skills she has gained from being at The Meadows means that she will also have smooth transition into primary school! Thank you for your hard work and care.

My son has been attending for nearly a year now, and has really benefitted from the care received. The staff are all super friendly and great with my son. He enjoys going there, and they are very open and supportive of his specific needs.
Best decision we made moving him to this setting.

My daughter has been attending the Harps Nursery in Sandbach for almost a year, in this time her social development has been amazing. She has become a bright, confident and capable toddler. The time and effort all the staff put into the children’s development and well-being goes above and beyond. The
home-from-home feel of the place is brilliant and all the indoor and outdoor facilities are fantastic.

My nephew has attended this nursery from 7 months old and he is now 3 and 1/2. He is thriving and really enjoys his days at the nursery. He often tells me what he has been doing (and eating!). Its nice to see the improvements including decoration and garden that the new manager has carried out making
this an excellent nursery and atmosphere.

I think in the last few months the nursery has turned a new leaf and is doing very well. My child is well looked after and I get excellent hand overs so I know what my child has done every day. My son is well-fed and clean when I pick him up.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 12 months old (he has now turned 2). I was very worried about how he would settle (very new to socialising with children his own age/wasn't great with strangers). All the staff have been just amazing since day one - I can say that he loves his days
at nursery and we have noticed such a huge difference in him since he started (his confidence, communication etc). I love hearing about all the different things he gets up to and seeing him grow with all the support and care he gets from all the staff.

Best nursery in Sandbach, so accommodating for our family and my son that requires some additional support. The staff are amazing and very welcoming. They have been very helpful with my son's additional support and are very communicative at the end of every day, we have a full picture of how he has
been, his naps, the food he has eaten and the amount and his mood or behaviour in general. I have never had any issues with care or communication. Highly recommended nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.979) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Sandbach 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.979 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Sandbach is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Sandbach is based on 16 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
