Couldn't be happier. This nursery is welcoming, loving and lots of fun! Always hosting events for specific days/times of year but without pressure on parents to provide things, so the children can benefit and parents can take them free of the guilt of not having the right t-shirt/outfit/accessory. I
feel like my children are known by the staff, communication is good - particularly on pick up with 1-1 feedback, shared concerns and lots of praise. The food is good and very varied. The environment is lovely and the staff all professional and welcoming. Happy children = happy mummy!

This is a lovely nursery with a homely feel to it. All the staff are amazing with the children, always making sure there is lots of fun and learning to be had. Even a little sign language class every Tuesday! My little girl was very shy prior to starting here but soon came out of her shell and gets
very excited to go see all her friends and teachers, she is always telling me how nice the food is too! It’s nice to not have to worry whilst busy with work and know my little one is looked after.

We moved to the area a year ago and were very nervous about my daughter changing nurseries as she was settled at the old one. Now I am glad my two children go here. The staff are always attentive and my experience with the nursery has been positive overall.

These teachers are amazing at working with children, also when your children are bad they give good advice on what to say to doctors. My child's key worker is brilliant and processes her progress. Also, they are understanding of your child's health.

My daughter joined the nursery in late 2022, and I have to say the nursery is fantastic. All the staff are lovely and welcoming, and I can see how happy my daughter is to be there.
The effort the staff put into entertaining and developing the children is fab. Thank you, team Nunthorpe!

My child has attended Nunthorpe Day Nursery for around five months. He settled in instantly, the staff are very friendly and approachable. I highly recommend the Nursery to anybody considering childcare. My son loves playing with the other children and is happy to go to nursery which is what every parent
hopes for. The Nursery are currently supporting us with toilet training which is going brilliantly.

If you are looking for a nursery for your small people, look no further! Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery is the place dreams are made of! My children go here and they absolutely love it. Every member of staff brings something different to how the place is run and for me, it runs like clockwork. Everything
is just brilliant, no stress at all as their communication with you is awesome.


Very safe and caring atmosphere where the children can let their imaginations run free. Nunthorpe will always be a part of our family.

When we first walked into the nursery a few months ago, we got a warm welcome from the manager, who talked us through the nursery and showed us the space around. My daughter was comfortable on the very first day. The staff are excellent, and my daughter seems to be happy attending the nursery. Everyone
around is so friendly and polite. We don't regret any bits. Just perfect.

Amazing nursery! My daughter has developed so much because of the constant interaction the staff have with the children. She is learning there and having fun and is always happy when I collect her at the end of the day. The nursery are very supportive, they give great feedback on how my daughter has
been throughout the day informing me of everything that has happened. The staff are lovely, they are friendly, full of smiles and have a positive energy right from Monday until Friday every week.


They always put the children first and it is clear they are passionate about what they do. Drop-offs and pickups are extremely quick if you need them to be. Regular updates are sent weekly about the menus and activities for the children. Every week both are always amazing. The nursery provides healthy food for the children with a wide variety of things to try alongside multiple fun but educational activities for the development of the children. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

We are delighted with Nunthorpe Children’s Day Nursery, our son is very happy there. The staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They take the time to get to know the children as individuals and quickly work out their interests. The activities that are planned for the children are based around
the interests of the children to target their next steps in development. We particularly love that the children are regularly taken out on visits like to the train station or the woods. We couldn’t ask for better!

My daughter looks forward to going to the nursery every day she attends, the smile on her face every time we pull up in the car is amazing. She has come on so much during her time at nursery and this is down to all the staff's one to one interaction with her. They go above and beyond to make sure my
daughter is supported, has fun and feels loved. They are always willing to accommodate last-minute with extra days where there is space, which last week we needed due to work commitments. They just take that worry away from me and my wife due to their flexibility - we appreciate it very much - which means my daughter gets to play with her friends a bit more. Just one word for Nunthorpe Children's Day Nursery: amazing!

Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Gone above and beyond for my son. They listened to my worries about his speech development and acted on them straight away. I always feel like I am leaving him in good hands and my son runs in on a morning without a glance back. They keep me posted with things
he’s been up to and what he’s been eating, really happy with the service they provide. The staff are all lovely and very approachable. A great nursery!

My daughter has attended this nursery just after turning one (and is nearly 4 now). She has come on so much during her time at nursery and this is in particular down to all the staff, who care so much about all the kids. They all really do go above and beyond to make sure each individual child is supported
and feels loved. The organisation is fantastic, considering how challenging it can be. They are always willing to accommodate last-minute extra days where there is space. During nursery, they put on lots of activities for the kids that you really wouldn’t expect them to do. My daughter loves it when they have trips out and learns a lot. The nursery is always organising training days for the staff which shows they are always trying to improve. We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The only downside is I think my daughter prefers some of the staff over me!

Three of my grandchildren are in Nunthorp Children's Day Nursery. All 3 since toddler age, one has special needs. The staff are amazing. The children's happiness, personal development and love for their teachers speak for itself. Even through Covid, the rules and adjustments did not stop the commitment
from the staff. I commend them for such excellent service, We know the staff love to have our children. Thank you Nunthorpe nursery, absolute quality.

Both of my sons attended this nursery and absolutely love it, the staff are just fantastic and have such a good bond with my sons and myself!
However, I do feel the increases in price are becoming unaffordable and it is expensive compared to other nurseries within the area.
I feel £55.00 a day for
one child is expensive and the price of breakfast club/after school club is very high compared to other childcare venues!
However the staff, food and standard of care is amazing I just feel like the increase in price particularly over the last year makes it difficult for many families to afford to keep them in what is such a great nursery!

The staff go the extra mile to make the children feel special and welcome.
My son was very anxious when he started which made me doubt if it was the right thing to do to leave him there, but the staff especially his keyworker, went the extra mile to make him feel at ease, and now he loves going to
nursery to see his keyworker and all the other staff and children. His confidence has improved over the past few weeks and he isn’t as nervous anymore when in contact with other children.

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.

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 1990

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.
