My child has been attending The Cradle Nursery since September 2024, I have had nothing but experience with the staff. My child was always a fussy baby in terms of eating, the staff had been informed of this and they really try hard to make sure he eats his main meals, which I am grateful for (now he
eats all his food ). They have different meals throughout the week which is great for picky eaters. I have been to a few stay-and-play sessions with him and from what I have seen he is comfortable with the staff (running up to a staff member for a cuddle when she entered the room) which makes me feel he's happy and in good hands. Overall, I am happy to have enrolled my son to this nursery.

My son has been attending The Cradle Nursery for almost 3 years now and I genuinely couldn't be happier with them. The staff are absolutely incredible - they have gone above and beyond to make sure my son feels special, supported, and encouraged. He has blossomed during his time here, growing in confidence
and learning something new every week. An especially big shoutout to the manager for providing our family with unending support throughout the challenging and turbulent times we faced as a family over the years. I will be forever grateful. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a nursery that's not just a place for care but an environment where my son has thrived emotionally, socially, and educationally. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching experience for their child!

My son had attended this nursery since March 2021 and I have seen a massive improvement in his communication and confidence. The nursery has definitely aided in his preparation for primary school. All the staff at the nursery have been very supportive, kind and helpful. A very special mention to three
members of staff, in particular - my son talks non-stop about them. I know that he will miss the nursery a lot.

Amazing nursery with the best staff who have really looked after both my girls. I appreciate all the hard work staff put in to make sure children are comfortable.
They have always come out of the nursery feeling happy and speak only positive things about the staff. Thank you to everyone at the nursery
for making an amazing start to my children's learning and development.

My children absolutely love it here. One of the best things about this nursery is how flexible they are with their time compared to other nurseries. Responses are quick. I have and would highly recommend this nursery.

The Cradle Nursery is an amazing setting for young children to thrive and develop. I have sent both my sons to the nursery, with the youngest now ready to go to primary school, and The Cradle staff have made such a difference to my little boy's development in terms of speech, confidence and his friendship
groups. I cannot praise them enough for how much they have helped us. The manager at the nursery is amazing; she is so personable, approachable and kind and really does go out of her way to help families with flexibility and support. For me personally, The Cradle Nursery has been a home from home for my kids, and we will miss the setting very much.

I have recommended this nursery to friends and family as I believe it is one of the best in the area.
The staff are friendly and attentive. They pay special attention to new starters which really helped my daughter settle into the nursery and develop a bond with the staff.
Management are responsive
and quickly answered any questions or concerns we had.
It was very comforting to know the manager actively interacts with the children and knows them well, as it shows the children's wellbeing truly is their focus.
During Covid-19 lockdowns, the nursery implemented changes to keep parents and children safe and kept us informed throughout.
The nursery is large and well equipped for a wide variety of activities including an outdoor garden area.

Cradle is a friendly and flexible nursery who work with parent and child to create an experience tailored to suit your needs. They're not pushy and allow your child free play however still have an element of structure and routine. I feel like this environment has been perfect for my child. They offer
a range of activities currently football and yoga. My child looks forward to these each week. There is always room for improvement and the nursery is not "perfect" however the overall experience is great.
The staff are very approachable with any concerns you may have about your child or care. I'm so glad I chose this nursery for my child.

I was a bit hesitant to put my daughter in preschool and was confused as to which nursery to choose but once I spoke to The Cradle Nursery staff, I was reassured and confident that I wanted to try out this nursery for my daughter.
From the very first day, the staff have been so welcoming, approachable
and friendly. The head staff know each and every student by name and what they’re personality is like which was a bit shocking for me. They are very involved in children’s education and extremely friendly. It’s always a pleasure to go and have a quick chat with the staff as they are always happy to help.
I will get feedback every day as to how my daughter has been throughout the day. I am sure I’ve made the right decision by starting my daughter in this nursery and will definitely recommend it to all the mums.

Excellent nursery who provide a great service. Highly recommend it. This is my child's first nursery and he has settled in very well. The staff are very friendly and professional and the nursery provides excellent services for the children. My child enjoys playing outside and this nursery has created
an indoor play area for when the weather is not so good.

The staff are extremely friendly, polite and I believe that they care and look after my children as I would look after them. The staff is very well qualified and plan child centred and well-structured activities to support young children's learning and development. I feel that we are so lucky to have
this Nursery near us where I can leave my children and not worry about them. Nursery Caters for all sort of dietary requirements which is a plus point for me as my children only eat Halal meat. Management is great and very approachable. The manager is always supportive and flexible. We love spacious rooms and all the equipment in the nursery especially the Garden. My children enjoy playing in the garden as it's so huge and beautiful. The nursery also has an indoor play are available for children if they can't use the garden in extreme weather which we really appreciate. Another facility that helps parents at drop offs and pick up times is onsite parking. I give 10 out of 10 to the Cradle Nursery.

My daughter has been coming to the nursery nearly three years. She thoroughly enjoys going every morning. The nursery have an excellent rolling cycle of meals over a three week period. The meals are all freshly cooked in house to a very high standard. The teaching of my daughter is very good. The nursery
undertake a range of teaching mechanisms such as small phonics group work and where they identify any areas of improvement the nursery speak to us to discuss. They follow the EYS very well. The staff are great and friendly and always provide good feedback on my daughter's day even though this can be viewed via an app they use.

Very happy with the experience, the staff are so lovely and welcoming. I'm pleased my daughter enjoys her experience and is building up her development. Just a shame she tests us in the morning by arguing but I know as soon as she goes through the door for breakfast she's fine.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.264)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.264) out of 10 for The Cradle Nursery Wigston 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for The Cradle Nursery Wigston is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.264 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cradle Nursery Wigston is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.139

  • 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.
