Our daughter started at Stone Eden last year and has settled in really well. She loves going outside to play and loves that she gets to play with friends in other rooms also who are older and younger than her. Her nursery nurse is fantastic and our daughter loves going to see her.

My son (16 months old) has been attending Stone Eden for the past six months since I have returned to work, it’s his first nursery and so a big change for him and us. The staff have been great in helping him settle in, they are always friendly and he has a great time when he’s there. A big thank you
to them from us.

My daughter has just turned three and has gone to the nursery since she was nine months old. The nursery is an outstanding nursery with welcoming staff who are always happy to help and go above and beyond at all times. My daughter loves going to nursery. The food is outstanding with an incredible variation
throughout the day. The staff in each room have always been very accommodating. They offer a wide variety of activities, making sure each child is given the opportunity every day to expand their skills. From the minute we walk through the door, staff always welcome us with a bright smile and treat my daughter like they would their own. My youngest daughter is about to start nursery and I couldn’t think of anywhere else I would want to send her.

My daughter has been at Stone Eden Nursery for nearly a year and loves it! When she started she was quite shy and quiet, but I have really seen her confidence grow so much through nursery! To me that is testament to all the lovely and caring staff who have helped her grow and made her feel comfortable
at nursery! My daughter really enjoys play time, craft and outdoor time and is developing friendships with the other children. The staff is very good at communicating information and answering any concerns or queries. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Stone Eden is such an amazing nursery! My son has attended every day for just over a year now and he still looks forward to going every morning! The staff are amazing, so many fun activities are planned for the children on a daily basis and of course, lots of time spent being messy, reading stories,
singing songs and playing outside! My son has come on so much since being at this nursery! The communication from the staff is amazing and they are all very chatty and friendly, you almost feel part of the family! I have and will continue to recommend this nursery to everyone!

Look no further! Our two boys have been attending for almost a year, both with complex additional needs. The nursery has gone out of its way to make sure the boys are included and both have made brilliant progress in the past year. The staff are all amazing and 'Dinner Time Man' makes some fantastic
fresh meals for the kids every day. Lots of time outside, whatever the weather, so kids get plenty of fresh air as well as stimulating activities indoors. Daily communication with parents is excellent and recently has started using an app where the children's progress is recorded.

My son has been at Stone Eden Nursery since April 2023. All the staff are amazing and I can’t thank them enough for how much they’ve helped my son grow and develop so far. He doesn’t even look back to say bye to me when I drop him off! I know he’s in the best hands with all the staff! The nursery’s
is very flexible and always helpful if I need to put him in for any extra session last minute. Extra big thanks/mention to all the staff in the little blossoms room.. you do a cracking job! Huge variety of food and the place always looks and smells so clean! Lots of outdoor areas for the children to play safety in.

My daughter has been attending Stone Eden for approximately a year now and she has received a high standard of care from all the staff. The communication from the nursery has been excellent, if I ever have any queries my questions are answered fully and quickly. The food is excellent, home-cooked meals
and a good range of breakfast and snacks, my daughter nearly always has seconds! The children get to play outdoors a lot, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They have been very flexible for us, as both parents do shift work. Excellent nursery overall, my daughter enjoys her time there every week.

My daughter has been attending Stone Eden since she was 6 months old and I can confidently say it was the best choice, it's an amazing nursery, can't recommend enough! All the staff are brilliant and extremely helpful! My little girl has made great progress since attending and I definitely think the
nursery play a massive part in it.

Outstanding nursery! My daughter has been going for nearly a year now and I couldn't be happier we chose Stone Eden! The staff are absolutely lovely! The activities they do are so creative. The outside play area is amazing. My daughter is always happy to go and I can go to work knowing she's having
fun, she's safe and well looked after! I've recommended to family and friends who now send their kids and will say the same! Five stars for sure!

The nursery and staff are just amazing, my little boy goes two days per week and loves going! There’s great outdoor areas for him to play as he loves being outside! They also do great indoor learning and activities to keep him busy! They do a good variety of healthy meals and we get a full update of
his full day via a diary app, which is very helpful! The staff are so friendly and parking facilities are great.

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.
