2 of my sons have gone to Ninewells Nursery and my 3rd will be starting next year. We love the nursery. The staff are super friendly and approachable and make you feel at ease leaving your kids in their care. A lovely garden area that is utilised in all weathers, great array of activities undertake
and a really nice community feel about the place. Would definitely recommend.

My son has been with Ninewells nursery since he was 6 months old and even though he is now entitled to a nursery place for free elsewhere I still wanted him to stay at Ninewells for one of the days. The staff team are always friendly and welcoming and my son is always excited to go to nursery with
them.

My daughter has attended this nursery for 18 months and has loved every minute since her settling in days. She has come on so much in her development and I can’t thank the staff enough. They are friendly and approachable and the manager is always visible. There are so many opportunities for the children
to take part in many different activities. My daughter loves being outside and this nursery definitely caters for that. She has made so many friends and is always desperate to tell me everything she’s done each day. There is a wide variety of food available and I know my daughter will be eating healthily as well as some treats which she loves. I always recommend Ninewells nursery to fellow mums and will without a doubt will be bringing my 2nd daughter when I return to work.

My oldest daughter now 6 attended from when she was 2 years old to just before starting school. My youngest who is now 18 months has been attending since she was 10 months! All the staff are so lovely and caring and take a real interest in the children and their families. My youngest who can be hard
to please at times absolutely loves it and runs into the nursery without a backwards glance! My oldest still enjoys visiting so she can see her old nursery teachers!
There is always something going on at the nursery each week, whether that be a visit from someone to talk to them about their job (police, NHS staff, fireman) to people visiting with animals to days out and parties! They really go all out to make sure the children have a great time! From the home-cooked meals to the messy play and walks in the woods, I know my daughter is well cared for. All the staff are a real credit to the nursery and I can't recommend them enough!

My daughter is always excited about going to the nursery. The manager and all the staff have always been very approachable
and friendly. I would happily recommend this nursery to other parents.

This is a really fantastic Nursery with an amazing team of nursery nurses. My daughter joined Ninewells Nursery since she was ten months old and her confidence and speech has grown. She has made a lot of friends and the staff are always friendly and caring. She learns new things and I love that they
play outside every day which I think is very important. My daughter has food allergies and all staff are always very supportive and take her allergies very seriously. She also always gets great food alternatives.

My daughter attended Ninewells nursery for 4 years and my 2-year-old son has been there for 18 months. Nursery staff are amazing, brilliant with the kids and really approachable to parents. My daughter struggled to settle when she first started but the staff went above and beyond to help her. Would
highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter attended Ninewells nursery (from age 1 to 3), so when I had my son two years ago there was no question he would attend Ninewells nursery also. The nursery is such a warm inviting environment and all staff are amazing with the children and genuinely care. The nursery manager is very accommodating
and nothing is too much of an ask. I feel confident in the fact that my son is happy and thriving whilst I'm at work.

My child has attended Ninewells nursery since he was 15 months and is currently in preschool and I plan to send my younger child here when I return to work. My son and I have had a very positive experience here and he is very happy to attend every day. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and it is
clear it is not just a job to them, it is vocational. The manager is hands-on, visible and approachable and I have always felt confident leaving my son here and I know I will be informed honestly with how my son has been doing.
The nursery keeps a very good standard of hygiene and I noticed this over and above some other nurseries I visited before deciding on this one.
One of the main things I love about it is the "home away from home" feel it has to it rather than a corporate environment bigger nurseries can sometimes feel like. I attribute this to the creative activities, the fantastic garden and the wonderful staff.

My daughter has attended Ninewells Nursery since she was 11months old she is now 4. Ninewells has become our daughters home from home. The Manager and all her staff go out of their way to ensure the children are able to combine learning with pure enjoyment! The facilities are excellent. It’s never easy
to leave your child to go to work but it has been made so much easier knowing my daughter is in such great hands and is having so much fun! I couldn’t wish for a better place for my daughter to learn and grow. I will be very sad when the day comes when my daughter has to leave to go to school but I’m glad that my daughter has spent her preschool years in a safe, caring environment and all the staff have helped shape her into the amazing character she has become and given her all the tools she needs to be ready for the next step in her journey. I can’t recommend this nursery highly enough!!

My 2-year-old son had to change nurseries when his previous one had to close this year, and he was made to feel so welcome at Ninewells. He settled in straight away. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, and made his transition to the new environment completely seamless. The nursery is very well
equipped, clean and the outside area is fantastic. Kids get plenty of outdoor time. Food freshly prepared on-site. Staff always take time to fill you in on your child's day, and parents are kept involved and informed via newsletter/email/facebook. Nursery provides nappies and wipes and suncream which saves a lot of hassle and is not offered by a lot of other nurseries in the area. Highly recommend this nursery and all its staff!

Ninewells Nursery is fantastic. The manager is very approachable and always available to talk to if needed. I love how creative the nursery teachers are. The children are always doing crafty things which are full of imagination. Outdoor play is a big part of Ninewells Nursery and children are out in
all weathers having fun. The children are often taken on walks to nearby forest and gardens. There are always things happening which encourage parents to be involved in nursery life. I would highly recommend this nursery. Every member of staff is lovely and the children always seem so happy.

Nursery staff are amazing, always go above and beyond. Every kid is treated like one of their own and my son loves the nursery so much he even asks to go at weekends. This is not just a nursery, it’s a little family. Nothing is too much bother for them and they are always coming up with new and exciting
activities for the kids. I would honestly not want anybody else looking after my son. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting and it’s all thanks to the wonderful staff who go out of their way to make sure all the kid's needs are met, physically, nutritionally, mentally and emotionally. Can’t speak highly enough of them.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. My little one started here in October. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly and it’s a lovely calm family orientated ethos. A care plan was put in place immediately for my son who suffers from a partial collapsed lung and the staff clearly have taken
the time to read it thoroughly and they know him and the signs of him needing to be taken to hospital so well, both times they have contacted me immediately and have been very vigilant. As a parent with a child with this condition leaving them in a nursery is very daunting to start with and so worrying however I now have full trust in the staff and know my son is very well looked after.
There is always updates on my sons day and learning and a lot of evidence of this through floor books etc.

My daughter has gone to this nursery since she was 9 months old, and she has absolutely loved it. From the baby room to the Tweenies to the preschool room (she’s now 3!). I’ve seen her develop and grow, not just in confidence but in her learning. She’s made great friends and all the staff continuously
involve my daughter, and I, in her care plan and as a Parent that’s so important to me.

My son has attended this Nursery since December and is in the Tweenie Room. The nursery has a wonderfully warm and nurturing ethos. The staff are welcoming and always have time to share with me how my son's day has gone.
My son is happy and is certainly flourishing here. He loves the outside space
and it is great how often the children are outside in all weathers.
All food is prepared fresh on site and my son's allergy is well catered for, he is a very hungry boy and the Nursery's substantial and balanced menu means he comes home a satisfied boy.
Another perk is the Nursery provides nappies, suncream, Sunhats and waterproofs etc which is very convenient.
I couldn’t speak more highly of the manager and her Team and already have my baby’s name down for next year!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.170)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.170) out of 10 for Ninewells Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.845 for Ninewells Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.845

  • 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 4.325 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ninewells Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.625

  • 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.
