My son loves his time at St Gabriel's. He has made many friends and really enjoys his time there. The soft play is an extra bonus for him. The staff are really caring, and the management is excellent and happy to help with any queries.

My little girl has been attending the nursery since June 2022 and absolutely loves it! The staff are so welcoming and helped put my mind at ease as a first-time mam. As for my little girl, she has come on leaps and bounds since starting the setting. The staff know her personality and always give lovely
feedback on her day at nursery.

This is a lovely professional nursery with very high standards. I have had 3 children here over the last 5 years, they have been very well looked after. In my opinion, the best nursery in the area. The staff are excellent and a credit to the nursery, they’re always very understanding and happy to help
in any way they can. I simply could not replicate the number of activities and the amount of socialising my children have experienced at nursery. I am most grateful to the staff for encouraging independence and confidence in my social little children.

Reply from Sarah Forrester, Nursery Manager at St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton

Thank you for your kind words, they really mean a lot. We are so privileged to have helped play a part in shaping your little one's characters, it is what we hope to achieve in their time here with us.

Writing this review is the least I can do to show my appreciation for the love, care and support the nursery has shown my children. Both my son and daughter have made huge progress since joining. They had previously been at another nursery, which was nowhere near the calibre of St Gabriels. My wife
is a secondary teacher and I was a secondary teacher of 10 years, so I know a little bit about education and expectations. St Gabriels has far exceeded any of the expectations I had and has given us hope and confidence that our children can reach their full potential. Especially our son, who was recently diagnosed with autism. I’m not exaggerating to say choosing St Gabriels was one of the best decisions we have made. I have already recommended them to my sister and she is going to enrol her daughter. If you are reading this review and you’re still not sure, then please take my advice and send your child there. It will be one of the best things you will ever do for them.

Reply from Laura Bell, Deputy Nursery Manager at St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton

Thank you so much for your review, I can't express how much your words mean to us. I have shared this with the staff who care for your little ones. To know that we have made such an impact on your family is so rewarding and is the motivation behind what we do.

Both my boys went to this nursery over a 7 year period and we can’t recommend it highly enough; it’s fantastic. The staff are absolutely wonderful at what they do; extremely caring, do so many development activities and always give honest feedback and advice on how your child is progressing; all things
which are invaluable to us as full-time working parents. The setting is great too; well stocked with lots of educational toys, books and other things to keep little people busy and super safe. It also has a lovely little reading library, a soft play area and well-equipped bathrooms, which really help with the dreaded potty training! My children would always have outside time in the amazing gardens to run off lots of energy and the food provided was of such a high standard as well. The boys have also made lifelong friendships with lots of other children who attended this nursery and they still talk very fondly of all the staff. Definitely would highly recommend.

Reply from Sarah Forrester, Nursery Manager at St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton

Thank you for this, we really appreciate all of those kind words and are pleased that you have been part of our nursery family for so many years. Choosing us to be part of both of your children's early years is a big compliment.

My daughter goes to this nursery and she loves it!!! When I pass her over at the door she gets super excited and has always had a great day. I don't worry one bit as I know she is getting the correct care that she needs. The girls that work within the nursery are lovely and dead easy to talk and get
along with. 100% recommended!!!

Reply from Sarah Forrester, Nursery Manager at St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton

Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot. We work hard to build relationships with parents and are pleased that you feel this way. It really makes a difference to our day when we see how excited children are to come in to nursery.

Both of my children attend here. This is an amazing nursery, and both my children are progressing very well here. They both love coming and are very happy here. The staff know the children very well and have an amazing knowledge of each individual child. They are aware of the lie starting points and
plan daily activities to support to enable them to progress further and reach their full potential. Staff are always friendly and approachable and go out of the way for both parents and children. Staff care for each child and take interest in them. It’s an outstanding nursery, and I am so glad I chose this one. I would highly recommend to everyone.

My little boy started nursery in September this year, and we have been so pleased with how he has settled in. We were so nervous about him starting nursery, but the staff have been amazing and are constantly keeping us up to date with how he is via the app. The activities he gets to take part in are
fun and have helped him to learn lots of new skills. I can't thank the nursery enough for the very positive start ourselves and our son have had to nursery life.

Reply from Laura Bell, Deputy Nursery Manager at St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton

Thank you for the lovely review; we understand how hard it is for families choosing a nursery so soon after lockdown. I'm pleased you have all settled so quickly into nursery life!

I couldn't recommend this nursery more, my boy is in the last year at St Gabriel's and he has had the best time. He has loved each room, each key worker, in fact, all of the staff. He comes home having learnt new things each day every time it is a nursery day he is so excited. There have been times
throughout the nearly three years where we didn't know something probably because we are busy but the staff in the office are a great help and will always talk through any problem you may have. I don't have a bad or constructive thing to say, the way they handled the pandemic was brilliant and I know many parents at different nurseries with very different experiences. Send your child here you won't regret it.

Reply from Laura Bell, Deputy Nursery Manager at St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton

Thank you for your kind words, Rebecca, it was a very worrying time returning after the pandemic. We are pleased you felt so reassured!

Amazing nursery. My twins attended for nearly 3-years and could not ask for more. Supported them and us as young parents with little local support. Always happy to help and answer questions. Focus is on children and their needs. Adapted activities as appropriate to ensure all activities were inclusive
for my disabled child. Happy to learn and make adaptions, always supportive and helpful. Wish they could keep children till 18!

Reply from Laura Bell, Deputy Nursery Manager at St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton

Thank you for your lovely review, Rebecca, looking out for the family as a whole is a big part of our nursery ethos. We learn every day and will always look for ways to develop! Though we might need a bigger building if we kept everyone until 18!

My daughter attended St Gabriel's for 2-years and has now successfully transitioned into primary school. The staff at St Gabriel's are amazing, my daughter loved every one of them. The facilities are excellent and the children have lots of fun, engaging activities to keep them occupied throughout the
day. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a place within the area.

The staff here are amazing, both my boys attended this nursery from around 9 months old, the care they give the children is exceptional. Both boys formed strong bonds with all staff. Will always be thankful for the care they gave. When my eldest son left for primary school it was very emotional, we
as parents also formed great relationships with the staff. Communication between key workers and parents is fantastic. Your child will thrive in this nursery. Meals are always nutritious and yummy, boys never had a complaint.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.792) out of 10 for St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.0 out of 5 from 1 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 4.750 for St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75

  • 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 3.042 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Gabriel's Nursery Heaton is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.042

  • 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.
