We have been sending our little girl to the nursery for just over 5 months now and she absolutely loves going! The staff have always been super helpful, communication has been great through both the app and in person and it's a lovely supportive learning environment where I know my child is happy and
cared for! I would highly recommend, very happy mum and daughter!

Nurtured at Northfield has consistently been outstanding. My little girl who has a very shy character has come out of her shell over the last 12 months and this is solely because of the staff encouraging her through 1 to 1 play. Building into group sessions. This has been such a massive result for her
to start her next journey in September. I also have a little boy at this nursery, who is a big personality. They welcome him with open arms and he walks happily straight in. (Which is a miracle as he is a Velcro baby). Nothing is ever a problem or too big of a deal for them to be happily willing to support and help you. They have a brilliant understanding that all children do their own thing in their own time. They are always at the top of the list in regards to recommending to other mums. They are without doubt the best nursery within the local area. I will be very sad to see them leave such a wonderful place as their first step into play and education.

Honestly cannot praise this nursery enough! My child left here to start shool in 2021 and now my youngest child is starting here and I can honestly say the staff are the most friendly and supportive staff, my daughter found it hard to settle back when she started her nursery experience and all the staff
kept me as a parent calm and reassured that my daughter would be OK and I'd be informed of every little step of her day in which I was. Now it's time for my little boy to start those nerves have all flooded back but I have already spoken to staff who have been nothing but supportive and reassuring of my little boy's journey to start. Such a wonderful heartfelt nursery who really do take pride in their jobs of caring for our babies.

Having viewed a number of nurseries for our little one, Nurtured @ Northfield immediately had the most welcoming and caring feel; twelve months on we couldn't be happier with our choice. All of the staff know each of the children as individuals and the communication between practitioners and parents,
both in person and via the app, is brilliant. The activities planned by the staff are fantastic, and the children are outside at every opportunity. The most important part is seeing how happy our son is each day when we pick him up!

Reply from Gemma Tyler, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you for such a lovely review. Parent partnership is key and vital in providing two way communication and in delivering well planned activities which are of interest to the children.
The children love being able to explore the outdoor area! Your little one is a delight to have within nursery.

My son is thriving at this nursery, every member of staff have taken the time to know him and have a lovely relationship with him.
They’ve thought of everything for activities and all the rooms are really nicely laid out and decorated and it's safe for the kids to move between them.
My son is the
only one in his class whom can’t walk and within the first couple of days extra care and support was given to him, arranged by the staff from inside and outside the nursery. I’m so impressed and at ease knowing he’s fully supported.
The cook is amazing and my son eats more than ever when he’s there, which is always rich nutritious meals and snacks.
I have an online account where I can see pictures and updates about my son’s development and time at the nursery and they have plenty of lovely special days to document.
I have been to many nurseries in my years of being a mother and this is by far the best, highly recommended and I can’t thank them enough for their continued support.

Reply from Gemma Tyler, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you for your lovely review. Your little one is amazing and loves exploring all areas of our nursery. He's formed lovely attachments to all the staff, who support him. I will pass your comment on to our chef who will be delighted to know this.

The most wonderful group of staff and a really lovely nursery, I'm so grateful for them. It's such a huge adjustment to leave your little one at nursery, but everyone at Northfield couldn't be more on hand to settle in the children and put the parents' minds at rest. My little boy has adored his time
here and has come on leaps and bounds with his communication and confidence since going. You get a real sense of genuine care from everyone there and you can see they love what they do and the children love them for it.

Reply from Gemma Tyler, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

My daughter attends this nursery three days per week and absolutely loves it. The staff are very nurturing towards her and I know that she is in safe hands when I drop her off in the morning. The app that they use to communicate with parents is very effective, as the staff update it regularly with information
on my child's milestones and the progress she is making towards them through observations. I can't recommend this nursery enough!

Our eldest son went from Toddler 1 through to preschool at Nurtured @ Northfield and throughout two plus years we don’t have a single bad word to say about the setting. The practitioners are amazing with the children and care so much about the children's development, management are amazing and always
reaching out and checking in. Our youngest son has recently started in the baby room and loves it, I never thought I’d be comfortable leaving our baby as young as 8 months in a nursery, but knowing he’s at Nurtured @ Northfield fills me with confidence knowing he’s with the best. The food is also outstanding and really sets the nursery out from the rest!

Reply from Gemma Tyler, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you for such a heartfelt review. Watching your eldest grow in confidence was a pleasure, and knowing you entrust us with your little one is wonderful and we are looking forward to supporting his development also. We understand how hard it is leaving your little one, everything we do helps to make the separation a little bit easier for you, whether this be through us reaching out and checking in, or sending photographs of your little one's day via our app.

Nowhere else I would send my children. It’s a welcoming, caring and fantastic place with the best staff. Both my children have loved their time here. They have learnt so much. They also eat everything the chef cooks! It’s a great place. Inside is clean and tidy with lots of imaginative toys to play
with, books to read and crafts to do. The staff are always on hand with cuddles and completely understand the kids.

Great facility, lovely open play, sensory sessions and outdoor activities. My little boy loves it there! He’s been going since 10 months old and is now 2. He’s come along in his development so much and I do believe that it’s due to the expertise of the staff and the fantastic environment they provide.
You can tell a lot of thought goes into all the activities they arrange and they always keep you up to date through the app.

My little boy has been at Northfield Under 5's since he was 13 months old and he absolutely loves it. The staff are all really friendly and they all know his name and say hello when he walks through the building to find his room. I feel they all genuinely care for the kids. He always comes home telling
me what he has been up to and singing new nursery rhymes. He loves being outside and I like that they try to get the kids outside as much as possible for fresh air. Meals are well balanced, and they are always happy to answer any queries, any time. Definitely recommend!

Reply from Gemma Tyler, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you for this lovely review. It is amazing to hear, your child goes home singing new nursery rhymes he has learnt, as well as discussing his day.
Children have access to a large spacious garden area, which is set up on a daily basis allowing children to further develop various skills including Gross motor skills. We will always answer questions, as quickly as possible.

Our son has been going to Northfield Under 5's since he was thirteen months old, and he really enjoys it. I feel that the staff genuinely care for him whilst there and he looks forward to going each week. His confidence has grown and it's lovely to see him thrive in an environment without us. He's made
some lovely friends there and talks fondly of the ladies in his room. Our second son will be going in September, I wouldn't want to send him anywhere else.

Couldn't rate this nursery more! My little girl started here at the beginning of the month (7 months old) and they were absolutely brilliant with getting her settled into her new routine. They were also really good with helping put my mind at ease when I felt nervous at those first few drop-offs. The
nursery's app is a fantastic communication tool as it lets me see what my little girl has been up to during the day.

All the staff at Northfield Under 5s are so welcoming of all different people and always go above and beyond in order to adapt to different children's needs in order to provide a child with the tools needed to develop through their early years. Northfield Under 5s is clearly run by a very strong and
charismatic management team, and I can't thank them all enough for everything they have done for my little girl and her development so far. Keep it up, and thank you again for all your hard work and dedication that you have to help the next generation thrive. For anyone that is looking for a group of amazing people who are passionate about the well-being of your children when referring to learning and growth Northfield Under 5s is definitely the nursery for your little boy or girl.

I cannot recommend Northfield Under 5s enough. Lovely setting and great staff. My son loves going. He has been going since he was 11 months and will go until he starts full time school next year. He is confident, clever and outgoing and I think being at Northfield has encouraged his personality. There
is a great outdoor space with lots of activities. They have their own chef who prepares fresh food daily. The indoor setting is great too. I especially loved their baby room, where my son started. Much better than other nurseries we had visited in the area. Each room has plenty of activities and they encourage reading, singing, and creativity amongst other things.

Reply from Gemma Tyler, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you very much for this review, Jennifer.
Your little boy is amazing and makes us all smile. Our Chef loves including your home-grown produce into the children's food.
His little personality is encouraged indeed.

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.
