Since joining the nursery in July I have been so happy with the care provided to my little boy. He thoroughly loves coming to the nursery and has built a great connection with each of the staff in his room. When I collect him he is always happy and content and now has lots to tell me about his day.
Since joining the nursery he has come on so much, his speech, his eating and drinking and his independent play, this is lovely to see and make me feel confident that Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery is the right place for him. The girls have got to know all about his needs and abilities and do their best to meet these every day. I love receiving pictures and updates about his day and seeing all the great things he is doing.
It is a lovely group of colleagues at the nursery and we are super grateful to each of them.

Amazing nursery for both my children. The manager and the team do an amazing team and go above and beyond for me when it comes to my job and the needs of my children.

Our girls have been attending the nursery for quite a months now and go in each day with the biggest smiles on their faces and love every second.
The staff are excellent, the care they give the children is second to none and it shows in the positive relationships our children have with their teachers.
We would and have recommended Nunthorpe Nursery to many of our friends, it's a wonderful nursery and we are so glad we made the decision to send our girls here.

After using a previous nursery from 9 to 17 months, I was worried about the move to Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery. I have no idea why! My little boy loves going to the nursery, he comes home telling me about it. He is happy to be left and waves me off every time. The staff are all amazing and friendly
and take the time to talk to you about what has happened that day.
Since starting at Nunthorpe his speech and communication skills have developed brilliantly.

My daughter has loved coming to this nursery. Thanks to the amazing staff and manager she has settled in so well and she is always excited for nursery in the mornings. She has made fantastic progress in all areas and it is lovely to see the photos on the app.
The manager and her team are outstanding
and always go above and beyond. I am so grateful for every single staff member who has cared for and continues to care for her.
I will certainly recommend Nunthorpe Nurseries to anyone who is looking to put their child into a nursery. They have been absolutely amazing from the very start. Thank you.

We have been so pleased with our son's care at Nunthorpe Nursery. He has been going to nursery since he was 10 months (now 15 months). The staff are so friendly and we feel they all really know him on drop off and pick up, even if they aren't in his room day to day. They have managed his allergies and
provide a variety of food making sure he doesn't miss out on anything tasty. He has grown so much in confidence and I think that's down to the care and fun he has at nursery! Would recommend it to anyone looking for childcare!

My daughter has been attending Nunthorpe for 3 years now. The staff are welcoming and friendly, they have really helped to ease her into nursery life especially when moving up between the rooms as she's got older. My daughter has always enjoyed the Sing and Sign sessions too and often practices at home.
We have always been happy with the care received from Nunthorpe as well as any help and guidance we've needed as parents. My son will also be starting within the next couple of months and I know he will excel here.
Thank you all for everything you do!

Nunthorpe Nursery is a lovely, welcoming nursery with nice big, bright rooms for the children to play. There are little areas set up each day with things to explore and activities to take part in. My little boy particularly likes it when they paint and glue (or do any messy activity). The staff are
friendly and always greet you with a smile. They know the children well and have great relationships with them. My little boy loves nursery and I feel confident leaving him in their safe hands while I go to work. Staff are always happy to answer questions and keep us updated through emails and the nursery app. We viewed a lot of nurseries before deciding on this one and are so glad we made this choice and trusted our gut.

Both of my children started Nunthorpe Nursery in September 2024 and have settled in amazingly. The staff are caring and supportive and always on hand to answer any queries or concerns I have. The staff in my son's room (tweenies) have been fantastic at supporting his speech development and putting my
mind at rest with my never-ending questions! Both of my children are excited and happy to attend nursery and always have a fantastic time! I couldn't rate this nursery high enough, 100% would recommend it!

Our son has been at this nursery for around 9 months now and they have been so good with him, he has really learned a lot of valuable things for his development and they take great care of him. The staff are really informative each day about how he has done and how he has been interacting. We receive
plenty of updates and photos too so its been a great experience for him and us and we would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Nunthorpe Children's Day 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 61 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 61 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 4.930 for Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (681 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 731 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery is based on 61 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 61 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.

I believe having a strong team helps children achieve their individual learning goals by working together and working alongside parents and families collectively.
I look forward to welcoming you to our nursery.
