My son has been at this nursery for two years (since he was about 1) and we’ve always been happy with the care he has received. He settled really well, really quickly and always just goes in very happy. I love getting sent photos of what he’s up to and all the fun things he gets to do that we wouldn’t
do at home. He especially loves to go outside and use the play equipment. I’d gladly recommend the nursery to others looking for childcare.

I was really nervous about my little boy settling in as he had only ever been left with family and was 9 months old. After our first settling-in session, I just knew that he would be so taken care of and happy there. The staff are super friendly and greet him with a great big smile every morning. They
helped us settle him in and sent us updates all the time. This made it easier not just for him but also for me. So happy we picked this nursery.

My daughter was hesitant to start nursery having been with a childminder leading up to going. The staff have been amazing in helping her settle in and she now comes home and can’t stop talking about all her new friends and what she has been doing each day. It’s lovely to see her happy to go in each
morning and I know she’s in safe, capable hands. I would highly recommend Nunthorpe Day Nursery.

Both of my daughters have attended this nursery, and my 2-year-old is still enrolled there. The nurses have been fantastic, they've played a crucial role in the development of both of my girls. Not only that, they actually look forward to going each day.

My daughter struggled with drop-offs when she started nursery for a couple of half days at 1 year old, as had only ever been separated from parents when spending time with grandparents for a couple of hours. It took a little while, but the kind staff made her feel safe and now they are her 'people'
too and she happily gets in the car on a morning to go to nursery. She usually comes home filthy and loves all the messy play with paints, water and sand. The food is healthy and she eats well. She loves the interaction with all the other kiddies, her little 'friends'. Always coming home tired for a good nap in the afternoon.

My son, daughter and both nieces go to this nursery and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. All the staff are so friendly. My son took a while settling in as he was born during Covid but all the staff have been so wonderful and have really helped him develop his confidence. He looks forward to going every
morning and I feel like every day he is learning and developing in a new way. Thanks so much and we are very lucky to have had this nursery for our children.

Fantastic nursery! My little girl started around 9 months ago now and I couldn’t place any faults. She was introduced into the Tweenies room and settled in instantly with such ease. All the staff have been so accommodating in all aspects, from keeping me updated with how she gets on daily to her overall
progress, helping with referrals and re-arranging sessions if need be.
Nunthorpe really is an amazing nursery and my little one has come on leaps since attending. They do a great range of different activities every day, we’ve found our toddler loves it here so much that we’ve been gradually increasing her days at nursery since she started!
I would wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to any parent, I instantly felt at ease! And the nursery story app is an amazing feature to see what the kids are getting up to in their day.

This is a fantastic nursery, my son loves going. All staff are fantastic, couldn’t praise the staff or nursery enough. The food menu is great and had a variety of different meals offered on each day. I always get photos of my child sent to me while he’s at nursery where I can see what he’s been up to,
which is great. Staff are always so helpful and kind. Such an amazing nursery with an amazing team working there!

This is a lovely nursery. The staff are always friendly and active with the kids. It’s small so you feel the more personal touch too. The menu always looks great and my son always tells me he has had a good day. Parking can be a bit frustrating but other than that it’s great!

My son found change and transitioning extremely hard, the staff at Nunthorpe made him feel comfortable and adapted to his needs, he has now been going since April and has settled in amazingly, it is so comforting as a parent to see your child walk in with a smile on his face and know he is going to
be well looked after. From the day visit right away I knew the nursery would be perfect for my little boy and he would be happy and safe. I would 100% recommend this nursery to others.

Absolutely the best experience for my child and myself as a parent.
My daughter started here when she was two and had separation anxiety as she had never been away from me due to Covid, lockdowns etc. The staff in the nursery were so good with her and adapted to her needs to get her settled in.
She’s
had so much fun there and met so many lovely teachers and friends and has grown so much in confidence in time for primary school after the summer.
Would certainly recommend it.

When viewing the nursery, my daughter ran in and didn't look for me once as she immediately felt comfortable there. The staff are so friendly and always make an effort with my son when we arrive at pick-up time too. My daughter has a great relationship with her key worker and other members of staff,
she'll often mention them when telling us about her day. She absolutely loves going to nursery, sending her here was the best decision I could have made for her!

My daughter loves going to nursery every day. She literally runs in with a smile on her face and is welcomed with big smiles and open arms by the staff. When she first started she was very upset to be left but the staff were so supportive and were sure to let me know as soon as she had settled and soon
enough there were no more tears in the morning. I would definitely recommend it to others. I feel my daughter is well looked after and safe and that effort is being made to help her learn something new every day.

So happy to drop my son at nursery on the days that he is booked in for. He is happy to go in and enjoys his time there. His development is coming on leaps and bounds and all the staff have been helpful and supportive to me and him throughout the time he has attended the nursery. I would not take him
to any other nursery as Nunthorpe, in my opinion, is excellent. To see your little boy so excited to go in is just amazing. Amazing, caring staff and management.

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.

Hello, I'm Katie.
I have an NNEB and foundation degree in Early years childhood studies and have worked in childcare for 32 years here at Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery. I started out as an Early year's educator, working my way up to deputy manager and now proud to be manager. I take great pride in my nursery and love to welcome new and returning families. We have a fantastic fun and safe environment. I have lots of experience with Sen and higher needs children and enjoy working with families to provide the best possible care and education for them. 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.
