It's no wonder this place is so well regarded locally. Our daughter has been here for a year now and I cannot recommend Early Birds enough! From the moment we walked through their doors, I knew she would be in great hands.


For me what really makes Early Birds Nursery so special is the love and care

that the staff show to each and every child. They go above and beyond to make sure that our children feel safe, loved, and valued, and they work closely with parents to ensure that each child's unique needs are met. Anyone who's had their child in attendance for more than a day will know the work they put in every day to support the children and keep us updated. They even have an App where we get photos of our daughter's day and updates on her progress and activities which help us feel involved in her learning and mean we can extend the learning to our home.


If you're looking for a nurturing, supportive, and educational environment for your child, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We moved our son here from a previous nursery that he attended. First impressions at Early Birds were exceptional and I felt at ease leaving my son with the lovely staff while I went to work. As time has progressed, I feel that the staff have an amazing bond with now both of my children. They keep you
updated with their every move throughout the day. The staff understand the importance of 'show and tell', as they get to know the children’s lives outside of nursery and encourage parents to send pictures of their child’s weekend or special occasions to tell their friends about and to boost their confidence. I love hearing my son talk so positively about his key workers at home, as they are also important people in his life, helping him grow. He’s now more than ready for school and it’s all down to Early Birds. Thank you. I highly recommend this nursery.

Both of my children have attended Early Birds, I knew it was the right place as soon as we viewed, it felt homely and the staff seemed mature and experienced. My eldest child was still at nursery when we found out our baby would be born with a heart problem, the staff supported us then (even offering
extra help for my eldest when he was born and in hospital) and supported us with our youngest child eventually joining nursery. I placed him there because I knew he would be cared for the way he needed to be and I could be assured that he was safe. Since attending he has caught up on all his milestones and is becoming a confident little man. I would recommend Early Birds to anyone, they are like a family to us now.

Early Birds is a wonderful nursery and provides an exceptional level of care, education, and support to our daughter. I really do feel that the staff go above and beyond to ensure that our daughter feels safe, loved, and valued. As an ex-teacher I can assure you from my conversations with the staff
and watching their interactions with the children, they are all well-trained and you can feel how much they care for the children and their learning as soon as you walk through the door. The staff give us regular updates on our daughter's academic progress and her day-to-day activities and the pictures on the App are fab and often get me through my workday with a smile on my face. I guarantee you won't find this level of communication, support and involvement elsewhere.

My daughter started at Early Birds in September last year. She was 13 months old and had no interest in eating solid foods and had shown no signs of pulling herself up to stand or walk. The staff have been absolutely amazing, working with her week after week and coming up with new ideas to help her
develop. She absolutely loves going to nursery and you can truly see that this isn’t just a job to the staff. They really do care about the children and look after them as if they were their own!

My daughter has been coming to Early Birds since she was 3 months old and they always go above and beyond. Her development is second to none which I think is purely down to Early Birds and the staff. Highly recommended.

My daughter has attended the nursery for 2 years now and will be there right up to school. My son will also be starting later this year. As a parent especially with your first child it can be so scary leaving your child in someone else’s care but from the very first day all the staff have gone out of
their way to put my mind at ease and gone above and beyond to help my daughter learn and grow. My daughter loves this nursery it’s like a home away from home. There isn’t a single aspect of the nursery that I can fault from the meals they provide up to the level of care and compassion. I cannot recommend Early Birds enough!

Both of my babies have been going here since being small and one of them is due to leave and start school! The best nursery I have ever seen and I viewed tons and tons before choosing early birds. All of the staff go above and beyond for both of my boys and all 3 of us have formed an amazing bond with
every single member of staff. Both of my children have struggled with speech and early birds have been amazing them and catering to their needs and now they are both performing brilliantly! If your looking for a local friendly nursery where you know your children are safe and happy, this is the place.

My son started here in January and he’s a bit delayed in his speech but he’s come on loads already since starting. The staff are all amazing and very supportive. In the short space of time my son has settled in well and is happy to go to nursery he gets excited when he sees the building and has made
good relationships with staff and his peers. I cannot fault the nursery and would highly recommend

I'm so happy to have found such a lovely nursery. My son loves coming and I will have no worries in sending my daughter here also. Everyone is so supportive and friendly. I look forward to the weekly photographs sent on the app. The range of activities provided is wonderful and my son loves to tell
me about what he has been doing.

My daughter has attended Early Birds Private Day Nursery for over a year now and we cannot fault the care she receives. The staff engagement, consistency and support are demonstrated in every aspect of that care. We especially appreciate the communication via the app and how they consider her individual
needs and development. A warm and caring environment that is helping her to thrive and we are truly grateful for everyone's efforts and energies!

Both our boys have gone to Early Birds Private Day Nursery. We couldn't be more happy with the care provided. One is happily settled at primary school and the other is still at Early Birds and loving every minute. From the day they started, there has never been any issues and we would highly recommend
this nursery. Thanks to all the team.

My little girl has been attending Early Birds for just over a year now and is due to start school in September, my daughter who has recently been diagnosed with autism loves attending Early Birds. Early Birds have provided me and my daughter with great support from the day she started knowing she has
speech delay and also undergoing her diagnosis. The staff in pre-school have been fantastic they also have SEN staff to accommodate my daughter's needs and anyone else who is SEN. I am currently working with the nursery towards an ECHP where we had a meeting to discuss my daughter's needs and what extra help we can be given which will help when she starts primary school. Staff are very welcoming when dropping off and picking up, they also don’t hesitate to have a good chat about what your child has been up to that day. The team at Early Birds have been amazing, patient and accommodating to my little girl. I would always recommend to anyone trying to find a nursery.

Our little boy has been at Early Birds for 2 months now and has had an amazing experience. The range of activities the staff offer the children is outstanding and we love hearing about them at pickup time and via their mobile app.


The food offered is always varied, and a wide range of fruit and vegetables

are included in the diet. They are also very accommodating for dietary requirements such as dairy allergies.


Staff are friendly and always approachable.

Early Birds Private Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery with a wonderful very caring staff.
My granddaughter has been attending there for nearly three years. It is due to the professionalism of all the staff that she will be more than ready for school when she will just be four years old.
The teaching/activities
etc that are undertaken with the children are amazing, they really thrive and become confident.
I speak to other parents/grandparents constantly and have done over the years. Without exception, all of us cannot praise Early Birds high enough.
They have a very low turnover of staff which enables the children to feel content, happy and secure.
It is very obvious that all the staff care very deeply about the children by the way that the little ones react when arriving or saying goodbye.
Also, all meals are cooked on the premises and are excellent.
I have highly recommended Early Birds to others when they were looking for a nursery.

My youngest daughter currently attends Early Birds Private Day Nursery and my eldest daughter also attended before she went to primary school.
I can safely say that the Early Birds staff are not only professional but clearly love what they do.
Both of my daughters adore the staff and love/loved going
to the nursery.
They were phenomenal in getting my eldest ready for school and have been outstanding in helping us with our youngest.
Take it from someone who is happy to have both their children attend the nursery. They are as outstanding as the Ofsted report suggests.

My little boy is now in his final months at Early Birds Private Day Nursery. He started at Early Birds aged 2 having spent most of his time in the home before that due to lockdown, so it was a big change. We were also slightly of our little one as he spent the first two weeks of his life in special
care.
Our little one has really thrived over the past two years. I have always found the staff fully supported and keen to deliver excellent care. Several of the staff have degrees and higher qualifications in Early Birds and many have been there for many years.
I would 100% recommend this nursery.

My son loves it here we travel for over 40min to let him attend Early Birds. The staff have always been accommodating and even if my child has certain issues the staff do work with my son to help him progress and take out of my child as an individual. We will not move him purely because he has a really
good bond with this nursery and the staff. This is the best nursery I have experienced and we will continue to use Early Birds until my child goes to school in 2025.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Early Birds Private Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.829 for Early Birds Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 Early Birds Private Day Nursery is based on 22 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 22 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.
