Couldnt recommend this nursery enough, picking a nursery for my little one was super important for me with all horror stories and first time mum it was all new, we started the journey with Nurtured - Northfield in Aug with settling days before starting in September, every step was super easy, relaxed
and child focused, the amount of energy, work and love all the staff put into the work they do for all the children in all the rooms is incredible each room has its own style of how it is decorated and targeted for each age groups. My little one has been in toddler 1 & 2 and it has been an absolute amazing journey to watch her grow and have so much comfort from the staff she truly enjoys every second being at nursery! They adapt to each child in so many ways and love to include the parents in as many ways as possible, little parent & child breakfast events or organized trips for picnic with all the little ones it's truly amazing nursery and the staff are incredible!

Absolutely brilliant nursery, my son loves going and the staff have brought him on leaps and bounds.
The staff are great and regularly keep in touch with updates on his development and progress.
The on site chef is a bonus too and provides peace of mind knowing my child is getting nutritious home
cooked food.
Thank you to everyone at Northfield!

My daughter's been attending since she was 6 months old, she is currently 20 months old. Her progression since attending is outstanding. Something we couldn't have achieved at home being 2 full time working parents with no other siblings currently for our daughter to learn from. She is always excited
to attend nursery and comes away telling us daily of other pupils names who she's made friends with. There is always regular updates on her daily activities and progress development reports done regularly. It is a big commitment to trust strangers to care for your child, but I have faith in every single one of staff members at Nurtured.. they don't get enough credit for their daily hard work and commitment. It is an outstanding nursery with not one negative comment. My only 4 star on value for money isn't directed at the nursery personally it's more a general comment on current overall childcare costs in the UK.

My twins have been attending Nurtured since they were 9 months old, they are almost 4 now! They love going in each day to see their amazing key workers, the management team and baking with the chef! They have made wonderful friends and I couldn't imagine them going anywhere else. They get outside to
play come rain or shine, which is great for their development, and they are encouraged to be independent and are involved in everyday tasks to do this.

I was recommended this nursery by my sister who took my niece here years ago. In 2022 me and my sister both had little ones months apart from each other and we said from the start that Nurtured @ Northfield was where they were going to attend nursery together!
It's a brilliant place, so welcoming,
clean, the staff are brilliant with the kids and parents, the activities the children do are well thought out and exciting- you get updates weekly so that you know exactly what your kids are doing and why. My little girl is super excited to go to nursery each morning, when she gets there I don't even get a goodbye because she's eager to go in and learn/play and when I pick her up to come home she never wants to leave!
Also just to mention, the nursery meals are incredible- I'm always so jealous at how great the place smells when I pick my little girl up after dinner- the meal plans change weekly and it's all freshly cooked from scratch!
Would recommend Nurtured @ Northfield to anyone!

Fantastic nursery. Having 2 children that attend I can't recommend them enough. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and supportive of the children. I get regular updates on their progress and daily updates including what they have eaten and how much. Both Children love the food they serve, the eldest
is excited each morning to see what's on the menu for that day. The nursery has a brilliant range of activities from playing rugby to learning Spanish. It's a great place to get kiddies ready for school. We are so pleased we chose Nurtured

My little girl attends Nurtured @Northfields and I can honestly say the team and setting are exceptional. We started at a different setting to which we had some issues and transferring my daughter to Northfields was the best decision we made. Can not fault the team or setting in any way, they have been
supportive in terms of additional needs (SEN) and assessments for our child ensuring that she has a plan tailored to her own specific learning requirements. My daughter loves her school days and has a fabulous attachment to the team that work to meet her every need, whilst in the setting. Communication is outstanding and the team is so nurturing. Thank you, Northfield!

My child has been going to Nurtured @Northfield since 2022 following the positive feedback of my nephew who loved attending. I couldn't find fault in any of the staff, they all have a keen eye for detail and provide an amazing environment for each child to develop and grow individually, whilst constantly
being in a safe environment. The app ensures updates on their well-being and activities plus photos to see how much fun they are having. My second child is already signed up, I wouldn't want to use any other setting for them.

My child has attended Northfield for the past year. In this time he has developed emotional and socially. The menu offers a wide variety of foods which are healthy but appealing to the kids. Each member of the team post via the family app keeping us updated. They often review his progress and send us
updates on his development. Mark the chef posts healthy recipes and asks for menu selections. They host many themed events such as Yorkshire day, sports days, world book day etc. All staff know the children so well and our little boy feels confident approaching them all. We are so grateful to the staff at Northfield.

Both of my children attend Northfield and settled in so quickly - the staff are fabulous and we have been impressed with the extracurricular activities they do. They create a family environment and have been very flexible around extra sessions.
It's so important for parents to feel their children
are being cared for adequately and I can honestly say this nursery makes me feel so at ease when dropping off/picking up.
My children have come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery and would recommend it to any parent.

All the staff at Northfield have been incredible in helping our son settle into life at nursery.
We can't believe how quickly he has come out of his shell, especially as he currently only attends for one day a week. This is entirely down to how comfortable, safe and happy the staff - especially those
in the baby room - have made him feel.
Going back to work and sending your baby to nursery- especially at a young age as we did- feels completely overwhelming. However, our son absolutely loves his days in the baby room and we know we have made the right decision.
The updates, photographs and details on the app are brilliant. It's great to see the varied activities he gets up to, how much food he eats, and all the time he spends outside!
We couldn't be happier with our decision to send him to Nurtered at Northfield.

My daughter has been with the nursery in a funded place since November and she absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and always so happy and smiley with the children. We are always kept informed on how our daughter is doing and the staff are always happy to have a chat or answer any questions we
have. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining, not only with things she is learning but with her confidence too. We can't forget to mention the chef and the food! My daughter loves nearly everything she is given at nursery and the variety and menu choices are incredible.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Northfield 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 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 4.944 for Nurtured @ Northfield is calculated as follows: ( (377 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 395 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 Nurtured @ Northfield 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, 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.
