Absolutely fab nursery! My daughter has been going since she was 9 months old, and is now 3. She’s come on huge amounts and loves going. She’s grown in confidence so much, and she always comes home learning something new. All the staff are amazing and friendly, and always answer any queries you may
have very quickly. Can’t wait to see my little boy start soon.

My child loves going to nursery here. She always gets excited to get ready in a morning knowing she’s going.
The staff are lovely and have helped to really push along my child’s speech.
I cannot thank them enough.

Northfield under 5’s is an excellent nursery. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and are always happy to help. It is a very nurturing nursery and my son enjoys his time there. I feel that it provides a stimulating educational environment towards children and my son has learnt many things at this
nursery.

When it came to picking a nursery for my little boy I looked at several before picking Northfield nursery, I'd had the nursery recommended by a few of my work colleagues and I'd definitely not been disappointed with my choice. Within weeks of attending from 9 months old, little boy became so confident
and the staff there always made me feel at ease and kept me up to date with his progress. He has made friends for life and developed great relationships with the staff. The staff have always assisted me with how to encourage home learning and I always keep them up to date with changes at home and they as a setting have always implemented learning through his interests which makes me feel they value him and make him feel like not just a child at the setting but an overall part of the setting. Thank you, Northfield for all you have done and all you continue to do for my little boy.

A fantastic nursery! My daughter Has been attending here for almost a year and has come on so well during this time. The settling In process was really well-managed and all of the staff made sure me and my daughter were totally happy before she started full days. All members of staff know every child
by name, and you can tell that they genuinely care for them all. We get regular updates on activities, development etc and the food provided seems to be varied and have a great quality also.
The outside area is lovely and my daughter loves playing outside as much as she can. The premises also seem safe and well managed

My little boy has been going here for a few years now and he’s come on so much, from the start being around 9 months to now being 2 and a half his speech, communication and people skills have come on amazingly! He now knows sign language and even corrects me when I do it wrong! He looks forward to seeing
his friends in the morning and playing with all the different toys and doing the variety of activities that the staff have planned for him! The new app they use they keep up to date so I know how much he’s eaten, when he’s had an accident and they keep it updated with pictures of what they’ve been up to during the day, I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone in the local area!

My 2-year-old loves attending nursery which she does twice a week. Her speech development has been greatly supported and she loves the wide range of activities on offer. The nursery staff keeps you well-informed with a good app.

Reply from Debbie Robinson, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you for your lovely kind comments. She really does enjoy nursery and is transitioning really well into Preschool too.
We are glad you are enjoying the app; it is a nice way of sharing that two-way flow of information to support children's learning and development.

Northfield Under 5's is an excellent nursery. My little girl has only been there since September this year, but she has already come on leaps and bounds. She thoroughly enjoys going to this nursery, and already I can tell she loves the staff who work closely with her. I love that they take photos and
regularly update parents with what their children have been doing whilst at nursery. I'd definitely recommend this day nursery if you are unsure where to send your child.

Reply from Debbie Robinson, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you for your lovely comments, Rebecca. Your little girl has come into nursery confidently in the short time since she began, settling straight away; she is always a happy little girl. It's amazing how quickly children form bonds with their key person and settle into their daily routines. We really appreciate your recommendations too, it means a lot.

Northfield Under 5's is such a lovely place. My daughter started there from being just 6-months-old; she's now 2-years-old and her nursery days are her favourite days of the week! She learns so much with them, tries new foods, and it's lovely to hear about all of the fun she has when I pick her up.
It's brilliant to know that I can go to work with peace of mind that she's in a safe place and being well looked after.
I'd recommend Northfield Under 5's to any parent looking for a childcare provider.

Reply from Debbie Robinson, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thanks for your lovely review, Amy, and your kind feedback means a lot to us. We have known you for a number of years now, with both your girls coming to us and it's good to know we continue to provide the same quality, care and education that we strive to maintain every day. Making learning fun is what it is all about, and as long as children are safe, happy and well cared for that is our ultimate achievement. Thank you for your kind recommendations over the years too.

I started my son at this nursery before the pandemic hit and was so relieved I did!
So many children missed out on the provision of childcare during that time, but Northfield upheld cover and delivered a wonderful and safe environment. I’m so grateful for this time, as it kept my son mixing with his
peers and helped to support vital learning milestones. The staff are a wonderful, friendly bunch who my son loves dearly!

Reply from Debbie Robinson, Manager at Nurtured @ Northfield

Thank you so much for your lovely review; it really means a lot to us. We have all been hit horrendously with the pandemic, and under very difficult circumstances, we continued to do what we do every day to make nursery life as normal as possible for our children's well being. Your son has come on leaps and bounds, and his confidence is blossoming. If there is anything you feel we need to do to improve on learning, please give me a call or message through the app.

Northfield Under 5's is an absolutely outstanding nursery! My little girl loves going there. She has learnt and grown so much in the 3 years that she has been here and I have every confidence that she will continue to do so. All of the staff are an absolute credit to the nursery, and always professional.
Our experience there has been first class. Not once have we ever felt that we cannot approach staff and any queries we have had have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. If you are unsure about where to send your child, I would 1000% recommend you send them here, you won't be disappointed!

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.
