Here at Hawes Side Nursery, my daughter has come along amazingly, all thanks to the staff. Every single member of staff here is kind, caring and friendly. They have helped my daughter with many struggles and have always put her needs first. She is not my first child here and her brother will follow
shortly. I cannot recommend this place more than any other, they are simply the best. Thank you.

Great staff who are very kind and helpful, not only to the children but to parents also. The facilities are great, they spend as much time outside as they do inside. My boys loved going on their adventures out of nursery to the shops or to the park.

I was nervous about leaving my 6-month-old baby when I had to return to work, but Hawes Side Nursery made the whole experience a lot less stressful. The ladies who work in the baby room are brilliant with him; they are all amazing, kind and caring, and I know he is getting looked after properly, so
thank you. They always keep me informed and are very reassuring when I ring up to check how he is. Overall, I would recommend, and I am so glad I chose this nursery; my baby has settled in straight away. Keep up the good work ladies!

This nursery seems to get less funding than the others in the group - you can see this in the building itself and outdoor facilities. However, what they lack in modern facilities they absolutely make up for in the care and education they give to the children. Both of my children came here as small babies
and I cannot speak highly enough about the care and professional service I received. My children were so happy here!

My daughter has been attending since last year and it is a fantastic nursery. She has learnt so much and it’s a very engaging learning environment. The staff are brilliant! Nothing is ever too much trouble and the communication is great. I feel happy leaving my daughter there in a morning as she always
enjoys her day with the other children and staff. Cannot recommend Hawesside enough!

My daughter went to the nursery, therefore it was our first choice for my son. He has only just started but loves going and doesn’t want to leave at home time. Staff are really friendly and always update on the day. Definitely recommend Haweside nursery.
It is also great for getting them school ready
being so close to the primary school.

My daughter has attended Hawes Side Nursery since she was 3 months old and she will now be starting 'big school' in September. I absolutely cannot fault it! The staff team are amazing! My son attended 10 years ago and the manager and deputy manager were the same then, which says alot for the nursery!
Nothing is too much trouble and the staff always do their best to accommodate all your needs from last-minute session changes to allowing same-day extra sessions if you need them.
They have a fabulous app which keeps you up to date throughout the day and a wonderful social media page which has photos of the children doing a variety of activities daily.
The cook does a fantastic job providing the children with fresh home-cooked meals that look and smell delicious!
The children are kept busy all day long and you can always hear laughter when pulling into the car park.
I cannot recommend Hawes Side Nursery any more highly, I would give 10 stars if they had the option!

I have four children and all of them have both attended or still attend. I have never really had any problems in relation to the nursery. Everything I have ever questioned or queried has also always been resolved. Three members of staff special in mind, two in the baby room and one in pre-school are
fabulous! What great help they all are in relation to nursery and home.

My little girl enjoys going to Hawes Side Nursery, she has really come out of her shell since suffering from separation anxiety during the pandemic. The staff are very attentive to her and make her feel safe and secure when she does get upset. My eldest son also attended and he loved it.

My son has really enjoyed his time at Hawes Side Nursery. The staff members have become more like friends, they are all so easy to talk to. I feel totally comfortable leaving my pride and joy in their care.
He has come such a long way from feeling nervous and upset being dropped off when he first
started and now he can’t wait to go and see all his friends and teachers.
Thank you for making him feel welcome during his time with you.

My little boy has recently started at nursery and all staff are very friendly and comforting towards him, he seems to be settling really well and I love seeing pictures of the activities he has took part in. I am especially grateful to the manager for helping me out as much as she could so I could start
my children at nursery.

We absolutely love every member of staff, who works endlessly and dedicatedly making sure every child is given equal attention.
My child would not speak in sentences or make any conversation when she started nursery in 2021. But now by the end, she speaks almost fluently, all due to the hardworking
key workers who gave her the special training she needed. Would highly recommend this fantastic place for your child, who will be taken care of by the most loving and understanding staff who welcome each child with open arms and a warm smile each day no matter what the weather is like!

My little girl started at Hawes Side Nursery in April 2021, just before she turned a year old, when I went back to work. We couldn’t recommend it enough! She has a wonderful time here and has grown in both confidence and ability. All of the amazing staff made it so easy to start her nursery journey.
We particularly love the wide range of activities that the children get to be involved in, both inside and out, the healthy meals that are prepared on-site, the brilliant communication via the parent app and the friendly staff. I love that the app brings daily updates to both me and her dad. Everything is all in one place. Not only can we see golden moments at nursery but are able to upload what she's getting up to at home. Little one recently turned two I'm lucky if she waves at me before going straight in with her friends.
Thank you to everybody at Hawes Side for everything you’ve done and your continued support.

Hawes Side Nursery is fantastic. Since my 2 kids moved to this nursery they have really come out of themselves. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They try their hardest to accommodate any request. I am so pleased and proud of how they have helped me shape and teach my kids. Not only the staff
but the cook too that provides them with all sorts of fantastic healthy food. The app the nursery use allows you to see a diary every day of what they have eaten and been up to. I am so grateful to each and every staff member that looks after my children while I go to work.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.456)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.456) out of 10 for Hawes Side 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.972 for Hawes Side Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 3.484 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hawes Side Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.234

  • 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.
