My 2 year old started at this nursery in November and he settled so quickly, I think because of the amazing care of all the staff. Everyone knows his name and greets him as he enters, he runs in every day excited to see them.
He was so keen to go more that I even increased his hours in February so
now he is full time.
Communication is excellent, we are kept updated throughout the day of everything he is doing and any queries I have had for management have been answered straight away.
All the staff make regular observations on his learning progress and encourage us to share pictures and stories from home as well.
They take the children out on day trips regularly and there is also the option to pay a little extra for classes like yoga and drama. They also play outside for most of the day in their big garden which my boy loves.

My daughter has been going for the last 3 weeks and she's absolutely loving it, she's come along so much in a short period of time, she's settled in so well, and all the staff are fantastic, and they really care about the children which is lovely to see! My daughter loves all the girls and it's so reassuring
as a parent knowing your child is well looked after and cared for. They do loads of activities and get the children involved which I love aswel!
The Communication is also fantastic and it's so nice to get regular updates and photos from your child's keyworker. My only regret is not having her start earlier.

After a bad start to nursery life for my 2 year old I changed to Nurtured, I now send my 2 year old and 1 yr old!
Both are thriving in a safe and homely nursery!
As a nervous mum I can not recommend the nursery enough my girls do so many activities every single time they go, daily outdoor fun, baking,
crafts and trips!
The staff are so welcoming to
Parents and children! The chef is brilliant my children and fussy eaters and have started to try new foods!
I personally can not recommend the nursery enough I feel like I'm leaving my children at a family members home rather than a nursery!

My boy started nursery at 20 months, he is a confident little boy but struggled to settle. All the staff really went out of their way to help him settle & understand him (he still isn't speaking). We cannot praise the staff enough for their hard work and dedication to ensuring the children in their
care are happy, learning, engaging & "nurtured". He always has fun (even when he had initially been upset at drops offs) and for the last 2 weeks has been dropped off without any upset. This is a testament to how hard the girls work to ensure the children feel secure, comfort them when they are upset, and make sure they are having the best time. The staff work so hard & you can see how much they love the job & care for the little people they are working with. Communication is fantastic, and nothing is too much trouble for any staff. I cannot think of a better setting for my boy, and happily recommend Nurtured for anyone looking for a rich, safe, and loving environment for their mini me's.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience at Nurtured Wakefield! The care and attention our little one receives is truly exceptional. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, and always go the extra mile to ensure each child feels safe, happy, and engaged. The nursery's curriculum is diverse
and stimulating, incorporating a wonderful mix of play-based learning, creative activities, and outdoor exploration. Our child has made tremendous progress in their social and cognitive development, thanks to the dedicated and knowledgeable staff. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and designed to create an inviting and comfortable environment for the children. We also appreciate the regular updates and communication from the staff, keeping us informed about our child's daily activities and milestones.

Since my little boy has started at Nurtured Wakefield he has come on in leaps and bounds. We moved him to a nursery after him not settling at a previous childminder, the setting is so welcoming and calm. He instantly settled and has made lovely bonds with all the staff, we constantly are kept up to
date with his progress and learning. Definitely peace of mind that my child is getting the care and support he needs for his journey in nursery.

My little girl eats less, but she likes to eat at nursery so it is a good benefit for the baby.

We have recently moved our daughter into Nurtured Wakefield and are so glad that we made this decision!
The staff have all been so accommodating and made the transition so smooth for us and our daughter. We have seen such improvement in her confidence and development, most importantly she is really
happy going into the nursery.
It's clear all the staff really care for the children and have their best interests at heart. We have the upmost confidence when dropping our daughter off that she will be safe and cared for. All the staff recognise our daughter after only a few weeks, showing the extra effort they're going to make her welcome. Communication throughout the day is fantastic and there's such variety on offer in terms of activities and food.
The nursery is regularly putting on extra events for the children and families, creating a real community feel.
Thank you to all the staff!

I am really happy with my choice to send my daughter to Nurtured. Staff are welcoming and helpful. They keep me updated with pictures, posts and messages throughout the day. They have a range of different activities she can get involved with.
My daughter found nursery difficult at the start, but the
staff and management kept in contact with me and put a plan in place to help her feel more comfortable. Since this, she is now thriving at nursery which is a big relief knowing she is in safe hands. She is flourishing at Nurtured, it is a warm and nurturing environment, and it is clear that staff are dedicated to creating a positive and enriching experience.

Have been pleased with Nurtured so far. Everyone is lovely to my child and I feel they are safe left in their care. I like the updates I get throughout the day in the nursery app too. My favourite thing about this nursery is that the outside space is generous in size, especially compared to others in
the area, and it is full of nature and big trees which was important to me as we don't have a garden of our own. They spend lots of time outside and don't let the weather stop them, they just wrap up warm which I love. My child really enjoys going!

Both of my children have attended the nursery over the last three years and I am so pleased they did. It has changed hands in that time and has seen many improvements to keep children safe, happy and loving learning. Over the last year, my youngest has enjoyed toddlers and is now loving what preschool
has to offer. She has come on so much with her speech and confidence and has made some strong friendships with pupils. The staff all work tremendously hard to stay up to date with policy and practice, to keep children safe and to provide next steps and numerous learning opportunities. Staff have especially worked hard to bring a buzz to nursery this month with the crafts and activities brought about by Halloween. The scare-fest event for families to bring the children to and take part in a number of fun activities has been a real highlight and is hopefully the start of more moments like this. We loved spending time with our daughters in an environment they feel safe in!

Nurtured @ Wakefield is a lovely place.
The staff are all kind and welcoming with a clear passion for looking after young children.
The whole team know my daughter by name and has made an effort to get to know me and my husband.
The team go above and beyond to organise extracurricular activities
on a regular basis and is clearly very good at organising group events for parents and carers to attend.
Safeguarding is clearly high on the team's agenda as all of the staff are aware of the do's and do not's within the setting and are not afraid to challenge any concerns. For example, I have been asked to put my phone away on an occasion when I forgot that it shouldn't be used around other children. This for me is a huge positive and makes me feel like my daughter is safe.
I am always made to feel welcome and feel like I can stay and chat as if I am a member of the team.
I feel very lucky to have found Nutured @ Wakefield.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.862)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.862) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Wakefield 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.862 for Nurtured @ Wakefield is calculated as follows: ( (462 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 523 Ratings = 4.862

  • 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 Nurtured @ Wakefield is based on 44 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 44 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.
