I have used Our Ladys for both of my children from the age of 1 through to school age. The staff, setting, environment and atmosphere created by the staff is joyful, educational and fun. I have recommend it to friends via word of mouth for years.

My son started at Our Lady's nursery when he turned 15 months, the nursery staff made the transition to nursery life easy and a pleasure. The support, guidance and care that the staff have all always shown him is fantastic. This has supported him growing into the confident young boy he is and they have
prepped him well ready to start his next adventure in Reception! The staff are all very friendly, caring, compassionate and on hand if you ever need them. I have always felt very confident that my son is being looked after and cared for well by his key worker and all other staff! Highly recommend this nursery!

Our lady's is a wonderful caring setting for children. Both of our 2 have been very happy there. The staff are extremely committed and full of enthusiasm to go above and beyond. They are also very attentive to any additional needs and regularly communicate.
They get involved with all different celebrations
and whatever is going on in the world.
We loved all the extra curricular activities such as music, dance, mandarin and swimming when they are a bit older.
And because it's attached to a school it is ideal environment for the next step up to school.
The outdoor space is huge and the room.
Options inside are also very varied with a large hall for eating times and shows.
Thank you Our Lady's we will miss you!

Our daughter started nursery when she turned one. We have watched her grow and learn so much whilst she has been at Our Lady’s Nursery. She is a confident young lady who enjoys spending time with her peers and participating in group activities. We love the setting and the space she can explore. The
team are caring and attentive, my child is completely at ease and happy with her key worker.

Perfect all round nursery.
The nursery has fantastic outdoor space, a massive draw for me. There is a forest school. Climbing frame, vegetable garden etc. There is a big focus on being outdoors, one of my favourite photos is of the kids outside in a downpour splashing about! Weather permitting they
eat outside as well!
My 2 have flourished at this nursery, the staff get to know you on a personal level to ensure they can help your children.
The inside has lots of different rooms, rather than just one big open space. This is a preference particularly for younger ones it means if one’s napping and another’s woken up they don’t have to wait and be quiet/risk being woken up.
Value for money, definitely on the cheaper side of nurseries which is surprising considering how much is included (nappies, wipes, food etc).

Picking a nursery is a big decision for any mother or parent and can be a nerve-wracking process, but from the moment we walked into Our Lady's, we were greeted by so many friendly faces.
Our Lady's genuinely care about every child, take an interest in their individual personalities, tailor activities
to them, respect them, listen to them and are invested in making sure every child is happy, safe, loved, respected and reaching their full potential. They have amazing classes (swimming, mandarin, dance, music etc), and all of it is included in the fees, which is incredible.
My son started at nine months old and will be leaving soon to go to school; I know he has made lifelong friends at Our Lady's and will miss every single one of the workers (especially one member, who is like his big sister!).
I cannot recommend them enough and am eternally grateful to them for taking exceptional care of my son and helping to shape him into the amazing person he has become.

Fabulous nursery and preschool. Currently have two children there and an older sibling who went previously.
The staff are wonderful, so caring and always make our children feel at ease if they are feeling a little uncertain in the morning.
Couldn’t ask for a better place for our children to be.

The staff are warm, caring, fun and patient. We are so happy we chose to send our son to Our Lady's Nursery School. The daily updates are so reassuring and being able to see all the exciting activities he gets up to is fabulous. Whenever we have any queries or concerns they are dealt with efficiently
making us feel our child is in good hands.

My daughter loves going to Our Lady's nursery (Owlets 0-2) and is so happy when she's being dropped off. She loves all of the timetabled once a week sessions such as dance and mandarin.
The staff area really lovely and it's great to get a daily update on the Tapestry online platform about her day
and the care diary (food, nappy changes and sleep).

Fabulous nursery! We are so happy we chose Our Ladys Nursery for our son. The staff are warm, welcoming and passionate which shines through each time we send our son to nursery. Since attending, our little one has developed further in so many positive ways and has great opportunities for creative play
and more! The staff are amazing, creating a positive and fun filled environment where our son is happy and cared for so well.
Highly recommended.

I have had a really lovely experience from start to finish with everyone at Our Lady's. I am a first time Mum returning to work after a year off and was very nervous about the transition from stay-at-home-mum to working-mum, the thought of leaving my son with people that we don't really know made me
feel quite anxious. I didn't even need to express my anxieties for them to be conscientious of this, my nerves were settled after my first meeting and consideration was given to all of my million and one questions. At no time have I felt anxious as they have kept me in the loop with all of his progress. There is an app that both me and my partner can log into where the team update daily on his schedule so I can come home and feel like I know how his day has been. They update pictures and still give me a rundown of his day when I collect him. All in all, my son's eagerness to run to the team and happily leave me at the door is all I need to feel grateful for the care they give.

Amazing staff who put in a lot of effort to know both my children. Positive relationships start from Day 1 for both the child and family. A wide variety of learning platforms are used, PE, music, dance, writing, reading, maths, IT and Forest School to name a few. Children really look forward to attending.

My daughter has attended nursery and is now in pre-school, and I can not be happier. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and they are always very welcoming.
She always comes home happy and full of stories of the day .
Since the play areas have been refurbished, they look very bright and welcoming;
they have lots of new activities and toys for the children to play with.

My daughter has been attending Our Lady's nursery since Jan 2020. The nursery has gone from strength to strength. She loves it and so do I. It has great facilities and a nice outside area. In addition, the children enjoy many activities like PE, music, forest school, etc. The staff could not be better
and they know the children well. Overall, it's a fantastic place!

My daughter has thrived at Our Lady’s Nursery School. She started in September in Owls after joining from a previous nursery and the team really helped settle her into her new setting, despite it still being a Covid-19 restricted time. All the staff are fantastic and have taken the time to nurture my
daughter’s individual interests. The rooms are lovely and the children get to spend their days doing a myriad of entertaining activities. They even have weekly dance, mandarin and music sessions, and my daughter also gets to go to ballet lessons which means we can do other activities over the weekend!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.324)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.324) out of 10 for Our Lady's Nursery School 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 10 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 4.933 for Our Lady's Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 4.391 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Our Lady's Nursery School is based on 10 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 128 number of registered child places is 25.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.6 = 0.391

  • 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.
