Our child has very recently started having epileptic-type seizures which of course is worrying and scary. When we informed Mazehill staff they were very caring and reassuring. Soon after, my child had a seizure at nursery. The staff were not only calm and professional but caring, kind, and empathetic.
They have shown warmth and compassion to us as parents as well as to our children. They have offered to do specific training should it be needed and have assured us whatever the future holds they will support us and my child's place at the nursery is there. I can't thank the wonderful team at Mazehill enough for their approach, response, and kindness, we really feel they have gone above and beyond for my child. Thank you all of you!

My son started at Mazehill Nursery at 8 months old, he’s now a confident and independent little boy and that’s down to his time at nursery. The staff have created a warm and loving environment in which he has thrived. He has learnt life skills from feeding himself to holding a pencil correctly and taken
part in countless activities and celebration days, like World Book Day! Every morning he is welcomed in by staff who he has built lovely relationships with, who he talks about fondly at home. The staff have always supported both me and my son, they are approachable and honest. Mazehill has given my son such a stable and stimulating environment away from home and I can not thank them enough!

My son has attended for just over a year and we feel really confident in the care he receives here. The staff are so friendly and warm but also professional and knowledgeable, demonstrating excellent judgement and interpersonal skills in the way they approach any tricky situation. There is a lovely
atmosphere and my son happily tells us all about the fun activities he has taken part in and the friends he has. He feels very safe and understands the routines and boundaries there. He isn't always great at trying new foods at home but will happily tuck into the tea time snacks at least trying new things.
Staffing is very consistent which isn't often the case in nurseries so the staff know the children well. Management are approachable, supportive and very quick to respond if I need to get in touch. A big thumbs up from us!

I’d like to use this platform to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Mazehill nursery. Since returning to nursery in September after the summer my son has transformed into such a happy little boy, he loves nursery and tells me about all his friends. He has struggled with a few things including
potty training and I can’t thank the staff enough for their perseverance and encouragement throughout. I feel confident that my son is as expected for his age which is reflected in the progress report sent home. Once again thank you very much!

My child has just left to go to school, she has loved every minute of her time at Mazehill. The staff are so loving and caring, giving my child the time to ask questions and tell them about her weekends.
I also had an older child who went to Mazehill, he's 11 now and the staff remember him. The service
we received for both children was excellent, I would recommend it to anyone.

Staff are great and very caring! Would be nice to get some more information each day as to what children have been up to/eating, would also be nice to be told if there is anything we need to work on at home to get them ready for primary school. The preschool outside area could be cleaner with better
toys.

Our daughter has thrived beyond all of our expectations at Mazehill Nursery. At just 3 years old, she is now able to independently write her name and copy every letter from the alphabet. The support and attention that she has been given here is astounding. The manager is always on hand whether that
be at drop-off or on the phone and nothing is ever too much for her. The staff are outstanding. They take the time to really understand your child and provide them with comfort and love. Appropriate, age-related activities are planned every day and children bring their work home daily, such as paintings and drawings. At the end of the day you’re given a form on everything your child has done that day, all these little things have so much thought put into them. Children are provided with hot, nutritional meals every day. As working professionals, one of the best things for us has been the flexibility around drop-off and pick-up time. We would pick Mazehill over and over again.

When I looked around this nursery, I knew immediately that every staff member would take care of my child like one of their own. And I am so glad I made the choice to send my little one to Mazehill. He has absolutely thrived since starting at Mazehill, and every staff member is so welcoming and caring;
it really does feel like a family setting. They are so accommodating to anything my son needs, and us as a family. We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son started when he was 14 months old in the midst of Covid and is just finishing to start school.
Mazehill have always gone above and beyond in everything they have done. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They treat each child as an individual and create
a friendly and welcoming environment.
We are so sad that he is leaving, but have memories to last us a lifetime. He has gone from being very quiet and shy to a confident and outgoing little boy who is definitely ready for school, thanks to them!
Thank you, Mazehill!

My daughter has been at Mazehill Nursery since around 1 year old.
They have helped her shape into the lovely little girl she has become. All the staff have been wonderful throughout her time here since 2020. She has flourished in confidence over the years with the help of the staff at Mazehill.
From
nursery until preschool, she’s had a wonderful time. It’s amazing how creative they let the children be. The manager is a wonderful manager. I wish my child could have stayed but it’s time for big school!
Highly recommend.

What can I say about this nursery other than it is absolutely wonderful? Our daughter started here after her previous nursery suddenly closed. When we contacted the manager she was so accommodating. She reassured us about getting her a place and gave us lots of information about the transition. Having
a child with a nut allergy comes with a lot of anxiety around sending your child anywhere without you but this was all handled so well. The medical forms were so very in-depth and we were so reassured by all of the practices that the nursery has in place in terms of keeping children with allergies safe, such as having a board in each classroom where all staff can see any medical needs that a child has. The staff here are exceptional. They are always on hand to speak to you about anything and nothing is ever too much for them. Children are met with a hug and a smile which makes the settling-in process so much easier. The manager is incredible. Our daughter has come on so much academically!

Mazehill Nursery has been amazing for my little boy. He struggled to settle to begin with after being a Covid baby but, with patience and nurturing, he now looks forward to his sessions. He has developed a wonderful attachment with his key worker and talks about her all time at home - thank you.
And
a huge thank you to the manager for all your help and everything you do. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

Mazehill Nursery and especially the manager have been amazing with my two little boys. My youngest found it very hard to be separated from me but the staff were so patient with him and helped him to settle in. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else. Both my boys enjoyed the food, even my eldest who
is a very picky eater.

As a first-time mam and dad, it was so important for us to send our son to the right nursery. As soon as we walked into Mazehill Nursery both myself and my husband knew it was the right place. The staff are kind and welcoming and offer a range of activities that follow the national curriculum. Both
myself and my husband call during the day to check in on how our son is doing and it never seems like we’re causing an inconvenience. They are fantastic there and our little boy has really enjoyed attending so far. He’ll be back in September after the summer holidays and I know he’ll continue to go from strength to strength with the support of all the staff.

A fabulous nursery throughout!
The care and love they gave to both my children who have been through the nursery is just perfect.
They are also really approachable if I need to have any conversations with them regarding my child when in their care.
Can’t recommend them enough.

Our eldest attended here two to four years and our youngest from one to three (currently attending). We cannot thank every member of staff enough for their care, attention, enthusiasm, communication and genuine approaches for all ages and stages. All staff go above and beyond, including management!
Our girls love attending, they feel happy, safe and welcomed. As do we as parents. Any question or element of advice is shared with empathy, understanding, time and commitment. All members of staff are professional, nurturing, understanding and have utmost respect for the children in their care and parents.
From day one, through covid measures and since we have felt valued, included and kept up to date with every element of personal, social and emotional development, food intake, changing (when in nappies), activities undertaken and in terms of assessment using the relevant ages and stages in the early years foundation stage curriculum.
My husband and I as parents and myself as a teacher recommend this nursery to all families!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Mazehill Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 23 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 4.905 for Mazehill Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 4.983 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mazehill Nursery is based on 23 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.983

  • 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.
