I highly recommend Adventurers Day Nursery both my children have been put in nursery here. My eldest son, who is now 7, went here and loved it and my daughter, who is 3, has been here since she was a year old and loves it and has made good friends and loves her nursery staff.
All the staff are lovely
but I'd like to give an extra special thanks and appreciation to 4 members of staff in particular as both me and my daughter think they are amazing! She always comes out of nursery happy and says she's had a lovely day and sometimes even comes out with really tidy lovely french plaits. I'm also putting my 2 month old daughter in the nursery next year until she then starts school! Couldn't recommend them more.

We have been so thrilled and happy with the care provided to our children by the nursery. All three of my children (the two eldest have moved on to start school) with my current third baby have been attending since they were 1.
The staff are very caring, and thoughtful and genuinely love being with
the children. The leadership team who manage the nursery are also owners, so they take great care to ensure any feedback or improvement suggestions from parents are heard and implemented. The staff are extremely flexible with arrangements on days you need the children in nursery (which, as a self-employed parent, is extremely helpful) and work with you to try their best to accommodate your needs.
The children do so many activities and are constantly learning about the world around them.
They have excellent facilities with a dedicated soft play room upstairs for the children, the babies in particular have loved using this space during their crawling and more wobbly phases.
Thank you from us.

Reply from Jo and Helen Nurse, Owner/Manager at Adventurers Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words. They reflect the standards that we aim to provide for all of our children and will be shared with the team. We value our staff team who work extremely hard and bring with them a wealth of strengths, skills, and knowledge to provide the best nursery experience possible and meet the needs of all children. We aim to be as accommodating as possible and know that juggling work and childcare can be challenging so we are pleased to hear that this is something that you have found helpful! We have loved caring for all of your little (and not-so-little ones) over the last few years and are glad that they have enjoyed the activities and experiences on offer. We are very lucky to also have a soft playroom and know that it's a favourite for all! Thank you again for the lovely feedback, we will continue to strive to achieve this experience for all.

Sadly there are quite a few negatives to mention. I have had both my sons attend Adventurers over the last 4 years, me and my wife have seen a gradual decline at Adventurers. First of all they are not accommodating at all, so one occasion my wife was going to be 15 minutes late due to a hospital appt,
we asked if we could pick my son up a bit later and was told point blank no, so we ended up having to not send my son for that day. One day I arrived at 9.28 am, I was told I would have to wait outside with my son until 9.30 am to be let in, they opened the door 30 seconds later! My son's lunch is half eaten yet his slip says mostly eaten. My wife arrived at 12.30 pm to pick my son up and was told she was late even though pick-up time is 12.30pm. We feel Adventurers do not have the child at the heart of everything they do and it is all about the income, furthermore, before anything changes, the whole team needs to work together as one and embrace their values and beliefs as these are seriously lacking.

Reply from Jo and Helen Nurse, Owner/Manager at Adventurers Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your experience. We take all feedback seriously and are sorry that you feel the experience did not meet your expectations. We are an incredibly dedicated and passionate team and always aim to put the children at the centre of our practice. When we contacted you to discuss your review, we explained that we have very strict ratios to follow to ensure that we adhere to government legislation. These are in place to safeguard both the staff and children. We organise staff to ensure we meet the required ratios so when children arrive at nursery early, or are late being picked up, we need to address this. We also need to be mindful of children who are due to come in and the disruption this would cause them if they were asked to wait due to other children not being picked up on time. We aim to be flexible but due to this, it is not always possible. We have addressed the other issue you raised, and will use this to improve our practice.

My girls absolutely love going to Adventurers Day Nursery. They wake up excited to attend have the best days and feel comfortable with all of the staff. Every member of staff is lovely and kind to my girls and they are able to tell me the different skills that the girls have learnt. The food that they
have eaten, and how they have been that day. It is a nice nursery with lots of different things for children to play with. My girls have attended for the last 2 years and have developed well and learned so much.

Reply from Jo and Helen Nurse, Owner/Manager at Adventurers Day Nursery Ltd

Thank you for leaving feedback to let others know your experience at Adventurers Day Nursery! We pride ourselves on our staff team and work hard to ensure that all children get the most out of their nursery experience so it's great to hear how happy the girls were. We loved getting to know them and feel privileged to have been a part of their most important years. We wish you all the best in your next adventures and look forward to hearing all about them. With best wishes (and positive vibes always!) from all of the Adventurers team.

We have had two children attend Adventures Day Nursery from 1 - 5 years old, both moving into primary school when the time arrived. Our youngest leaves today. We have used Adventures Day Nursery over the last 6 years and have come to know the staff well. We really feel that the staff around our children
have taken good care of our babies through their early years, nurturing them and promoting their development, both physically and emotionally. The care for our girls has been so evident, and they have really thrived within the setting. We have been happy with the staff that have cared for our girls, some new, some gone but also some who have been consistently within their life from their first day. We would really recommend Adventures Day Nursery. A big thank you from us - you have supported two little girls wonderfully and allowed us as parents to work knowing our children are safe and taken care of.

The team is great and my son absolutely loved going there every day. They organised lovely activities to develop their motoring, language and attention skills. The topics varied and he loved engaging with them all. The team was great and engaged with any comments or special wishes we had (e.g. nap time
etc) too. Absolutely recommend.

Overall I am impressed with the nursery, I would recommend and I would definitely consider again.
At first, I was unsure about the nursery, it took a few weeks getting used to everyone and the nursery itself. Since then, I'm incredibly happy with how my son has improved in all aspects. He is more
confident, speaking so much more, his words are more clear and he interacts more.
The nursery has an outdoor area, sensory play room, a sofa like play room all which my son enjoyed.
There were a few hiccups down the road nevertheless, but any issues were sorted immediately, professionally, safely and always in the best interest of the children.
The key worker was great, always consistent, it was never different staff taking my child in which made it that much easier to say bye.
Overall I'm really impressed with all the staff and management at Adventurers Day Nursery. They all went above and beyond and I'm sure my child will miss them all dearly.

A fantastic nursery with caring and compassionate staff who do their best to nurture and support children to be their best. My daughter attended from nine months old to leaving for primary school, and each of her key workers has been fantastic and provided valuable advice over the years.
Would definitely
recommend Adventurers.

This nursery has provided really fantastic care for our son. All the staff are incredibly caring and aware of his needs as an individual and provide a supportive and stimulating environment in which he has really flourished. The facilities are brilliant, especially the outdoor play area, soft play area
and music room and the nursery provides an excellent range of activities for the children every day. Staff are great at communicating with us what he has been up to each day and the new things he has been doing and are so helpful in every sense, always happy to accommodate our needs. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

When our son started at this day nursery, he had a few health problems. It was essential we found the correct setting for him to go to.
They quickly adapted to his needs and dietary requirements and since then my son has gone from strength to strength at Adventures Nursery.
They have a brilliant outdoor
area as well as a soft play area upstairs!
The children are always very cared for and looked after and the staff consistently go beyond and above their care of duty.
I would recommend to anyone!

The nursery, staff, and facilities are great! My daughter has settled into the nursery so well and all the staff in the baby room have been so welcoming and helpful. Starting at a nursery is a daunting experience for both parents and children, and this process was handled with care and attention! The
soft playroom is so lovely. Would highly recommend this nursery to all!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.881) out of 10 for Adventurers Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.495 for Adventurers Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.495

  • 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 4.386 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Adventurers Day Nursery Ltd is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.686

  • 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.
