I cannot recommend Stone Eden Nursery enough! My child has been going for a while now and loves it every time he goes. He has really come along with his speech and development and I believe nursery is really helping that. The staff are all so lovely and go above and beyond. They do lots of activities
with them and look forward to seeing all about their day on the app. He particularly loves going outside as they have such a great outdoor space on site and sometimes takes a walk to the local farm and park. He eats really well there and the meals are always varied.
Thank you to all of the staff for looking after my child so well. He clearly has a great relationship with you all as he loves going back time after time!

Our little boy has been with Stone Eden for 2 years now. He loves going and always gets excited when pulling into the carpark. The staff are excellent and put so much time and effort into every child. Great all round nursery.

My son has been attending Stone Eden since my return to work when he was 9 months old he is now 3 years old and in his last year there and we have got nothing but great things to say about it. The staff have gone above and beyond for our family, making us always feel like nothing is too much of a bother.
His development is exceptional for his age and can only put this down to the great care and encouragement he has had from all of the staff. They have been very understanding of our home/work situation and have always accommodated us as best they can to this. The updates and notifications of any change are prompt and if I ever have any queries the lady in the office is easy to speak to to help. The room leads are excellent at sorting things out too so most things go through them. The team as a whole are just fantastic and my son loves all of the team and talks about them constantly. We can't wait for our second child to join us and have the same experiences.

My little girl started with Stone Eden a few months ago and it has been the easiest and most welcoming experience. All of the staff go above and beyond and it really does feel like a home from home. A specific mention to the girls in the Cherries room, they really do make both us parents and the children
feel at ease. What I enjoy most about the nursery is all of the outdoor play that they get in all weather. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. I highly highly recommend it!

The best nursery so far! I can't believe that my 10-month-old daughter settled into the nursery very quickly and easily without having a problem getting her own place or anything else. The staff are very helpful, friendly and supportive. The facilities and the staff, food, everything just unbelievable
beyond our expectations. Thank you Stone Eden Nursery.

We have been with Stone Eden for 2 years. In that time my little girl started from the baby room to toddlers and now the next room up.
Every room has been amazing the head of each room goes above and beyond and nothing is ever too much. There are many times I've had to switch days due to work reasons
and every time they have accommodated me.
I would highly recommend Stone Eden. My eldest went to a different nursery which was good but Stone Eden has been exceptional in terms of development, friendliness and being accommodating in every way.

My little one joined Stone Eden Nursery three months ago and has settled in so well. The staff are incredible. I was anxious to leave him after maternity leave but nothing is ever a problem. They go above and beyond and I would and do, recommend the nursery to anyone!

Our twin boys have attended the nursery for a few months now and our experience has been nothing but positive. The boys have come such a long way in a short period of time. From not wanting us to leave them, to not wanting to come home some days!
A particular staff member and her team do a great job
in the Little Blossom room, always making time for parents and developing close relationships with the children. It is great to see what they get up to through the day and the smiles on their faces!
Cannot recommend highly enough.

My son loves going to nursery on the days that he goes. The staff are all friendly and easy to talk to. Food is of a good standard and variety. Great facilities outdoors for various ages. The app is great as it lets you know what your child has done and also includes pictures. Staff also inform you
of what your child has been up to that day. Nursey is clean.

I’m a father of twins who have been at the Nursery for over a year now. They are amazing in all aspects as the children love going. They call it the “baby school”. They communicate and steer the girls in a wonderful way and with home cooking, it keeps the girls happy on varied diets. It’s a great place
and highly recommended!

Excellent nursery, would highly recommend. Staff are so kind and tailor to each individual child. Food is always varied, healthy and local. Lots of outdoor space and they go out at least once a day usually more. Very happy with my decision to send our kids there.

Both my children go to this nursery. They take the time to really get to know your child and progress them while having fun. I love the picture updates. The outside play area is fantastic! I am always jealous of the food they get throughout the day. Everyone is really friendly. It is a very flexible
and accommodating nursery. Now the weather is a lot nicer my girls will get to play outside much more, which they will love.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 12 months old. My daughter is very much attached to me but thanks to the amazing staff here at the nursery loves her days in.
She is always happy to attend, eats all her lovely home-cooked meals and enjoys her days, especially the ones spent in the
nursery’s own private orchard and playgrounds.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 6 months old, she is now nearly 4 years old.
In every single room she has been in the staff have been incredible. They are all so passionate and caring about their work, which makes it so much easier for me to have trust in them leaving my
daughter in their care.
My daughter has developed in leaps and bounds and has become a very confident, clever little girl.
I would highly recommend Stone Eden Nursery to any parent needed childcare.

My little girl has been attending the nursery since February 2021, she will be leaving in September to attend primary school however our second daughter will be starting the nursery in September of this year. I can in no way fault the care provided to my little girl. The staff are professional and friendly
and have helped our family through a lot of complicated and hard times. The support given to us has been a godsend. I would never think twice about sending my children here.

Our little boy has attended Stone Eden since June last year. He absolutely loves it there. It is lovely to be able to drop him off and see how happy and excited he is to see the staff and other children there. The staff are so friendly and have been really flexible with any day changes to help out.
The activities are creative and educational and I love seeing and hearing what they have been up to. Our little boy is also a huge fan of dinner time with the chef and the lovely meals he provides. I would and have recommended Stone Eden to others! Thank you for taking such great care of our little boy!

My daughter has been with Stone Eden since November 2023 as we decided to change her nursery. I can honestly say I have never been happier, she has settled in so well she loves nursery now and she’s learning so much! The staff are so accommodating to different shift patterns. I can’t wait for her to
grow through the years with Stone Eden to help her! The staff are absolutely lovely to talk to and know her inside out already!

Both of our kids have attended Stone Eden since the age of 1 (one is coming up 4 and the other is approaching 2). We can not recommend them enough. Every staff member is incredible, their communication levels are unwavering and their facilities/amenities/activities are just amazing. We are delighted
that our two have started their journey into education at Stone Eden, their confidence, self-awareness and social skills leave us in awe every day and we truly believe that the experience Stone Eden has given them is a leading conduit to this. We can't thank their team enough. A wonderful organisation that is committed to the development of the little ones in their care. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Stone Eden Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.975 for Stone Eden Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.975

  • 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 Stone Eden Nursery School is based on 33 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 33 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.
