  • Hatton Children's Nursery, Warwick
Hatton Children’s Nursery in Warwick offers early years care with the chance for children to grow with nature in the outdoor environment of Hatton Adventure Farm. The setting prides itself on being different from other nurseries, set in a spacious rural location with views of the Warwickshire Countryside as the backdrop set amongst acres of fields, paddocks and located next to Hatton Adventure World.

Hatton Children’s Nursery is a place where every child has the opportunity to gain the very best start in life. The dedicated team of early years practitioners deliver the best early years learning.

The nursery is child centred in a welcoming environment and children are supported in small groups by their keyworkers. The early years are crucial to a child’s development where the foundations upon a future of learning, independence, and the very first friendships are created and formed.

Children have their very own private woodland forest area, home to a forest activity programme of daily outdoor experiences, along with a vegetable garden and lots of outdoor space to enjoy the space around them. The nursery is very fortunate to have private access to its very own well established Woodland Play area, directly located next to the nursery, which children have daily use of as a Forest activity area surrounded with giant oak trees and wild flowers including patches of Blue Bells

The list of activities that can happen in the forest are endless!

Children can explore the farm, take home fresh eggs from chickens they have helped to look after or fruit and vegetables they have helped to grow.

Your child will have days that are packed with so many amazing opportunities and experiences! The team really can’t wait to welcome your child to join them on a new adventure!

My little girl has been at Hatton for 3.5 years and absolutely loves it. The outdoor access to the animals on the farm, tractor rides, pumpkin/vegetable picking and soft play is a huge bonus. But it is the family atmosphere and nurturing environment that really sets it apart. The staff make the effort
to get to know each child (and their family) so well. My little one also learns so much there, and has loved taking part in the pre school performances too. It is a lovely nurturing environment for little ones.

Our two children have attended this nursery and we couldn't be happier with the care and support provided.
The team at Hatton Children's Nursery are amazing, it's always such a positive experience dropping our children off and picking them up. They always love their time there.
Where else can children
go to nursery and see Donkeys, Snakes, Sheep, Guinea Pigs etc and have access to all the amazing facilities that Hatton Country World has to offer.

When you put your child into Hatton nursery, you become part of a family. They don't just look after your children, but they look after and support the parents in every way they can. I see Hatton as an investment in my childrens lives and well being. Pumpkin picking, long walks in fresh air, soft play
- the list of the amazing things they do goes on. We're so lucky to have our children here

My child started at Hatton Nursery in 2023 (age two). I was so nervous about choosing the right nursery because they had only ever been in the care of parents/grandparents and were breastfed for 2 years (with multiple food allergies). Hatton instantly gave us a warm and safe impression and for the last
15 months we have been nothing but delighted! The staff are friendly, professional and caring. The setting is beautiful and the children genuinely go outside and get on the farm (or soft play) most days. Allergies/illnesses are taken seriously and we fully trust the nursery when managing our child's needs. They have some quite traditional practices such as providing daily, verbal updates on children's progress and overall mood/day, enabling them to focus more on the children's care rather than on an app (plus we all get to know each other more which is great!) Encouraging manners, expressing emotions, routines and life skills are also topics where Hatton excel. I could go on for pages!

My son went to Hatton Children's Nursery and thrived, so much so that we now drive 20 minutes each way past at least 3 other nursery options to take our daughter here. It's very telling that the many of the staff have been consistent between our two children's time here. It appears to be a happy and
supportive team. Thank you to everyone.

Hatton Children's Nursery has been a fantastic place for my children to attend. Staff have always been warm, welcoming and approachable.
Children are exposed to plenty of events most children never get at nursery. The soft play, children's farm and mobile library are all examples.
I have been particularly
impressed with the show and performances have put on. My boys always come home with a song and a story

This is a brilliant little nursery. They go out to see the animals every day, which my little boy loves! He came home one day having done snake handling! They often do soft play there too. They are a little old-fashioned since they don't have a fancy app with photos throughout the day. But the staff
always do a very thorough handover at the end of the day. And it means that the staff need to know the children really well. In the preschool room, they have done 2 plays so far this year. Plus sports day and graduation. It has been really lovely to see. They have a huge variety of activities the children can do. And the food seems to be good. My little boy seems to eat all sorts of things there that he wouldn't eat at home! They are really flexible with drop off and pick up, with early starts available. Plus there is loads of easy parking! We are going to really miss nursery once my little boy starts school.

A wonderful nursery, with a very personable workforce who really make both child and parent feel very welcome. Each term the children focus on a new topic and consolidate their learning through many different activities. There is access to development learning books to track how your child is doing
and the staff are always happy to discuss this as regularly as needed.
The added bonus of Hatton- the time spent outside - learning and exploring! The highlight of many children's days.

Amazing nursery, so much to do for the children. They get daily access to animals, have their own private forest woodland area with forest school activities. Children have a large vegetable patch, daily visits to the local adventure park and soft play, it's just amazing nowhere else like it. Staff are
amazing so caring and they learn so much. Simply the best nursery to send your child to.

This nursery has been/is being an amazing nursery for all three of my children. The owners are so lovely and personally involved in the day-to-day running of things. Their love for what they do cascades down through all the staff who work there. Due to its location, the children regularly get to go
see animals like pigs, goats and donkeys. There is even a soft play that the staff take the older kids to. It is a nursery unlike any other and even though there are closer nurseries, to me, I haven't ever considered moving nurseries and each of my kids have been so happy there.

I found picking a nursery for my little boy really difficult, we visited many but we picked this one based on the warmth and approach-ability of the staff and I’m so pleased we did. My son has been attending for about eighteen months and he absolutely loves it. As key workers we continued to send our
son to nursery during the first lockdown and his development and progress has been exceptional. I credit the staff for their warm care and nurturing approach. He is two and regularly comes back from nursery with new words such as fire extinguisher. They visit the farm almost daily when the weather is nice and still go regularly when the weather is not so nice. My son has loved seeing the animals, especially whilst the restrictions have limited what we can do at a weekend. The manager and her team are just lovely, you can tell they really care about the children and the children love them. My son can’t leave nursery without giving them a hug or blowing a kiss!

My son started going to Hatton Children's Nursery from 8 months old, over a year later and he absolutely loves all the staff and has developed so much. Currently missing everyone dearly due to the covid19 lockdown but will often come to me and say all their names and when I ask if he wants to see them
he says “yes” with a little excitement in his voice. The children are so lucky with the facilities, the building is open and bright and has 3/4 separate areas for different aged children and of course the added bonus of the attraction centre facilities and seeing the animals. Highly recommend, the manager will do anything she can to help you.

My 4-year-old and 18 month old attend Hatton Children's Nursery. They are both very confident, happy children, and I know being in this safe, fun and loving environment has a big role to play in their development. The staff are very nurturing and make each child feel loved. They take the children out
most days where they get to pet animals, play on the equipment and get some exercise. They also do a lot of baking and crafts, which my eldest especially loves.

Our daughter has been at Hatton Children's Nursery for two years and we could not be happier with the care she receives. The staff are friendly, approachable and treat the children (and parents) like a family where a hug is always available. Our daughter loves the fresh air, activities and all the staff,
who are caring, kind and sensible. We have no hesitation in sending our new baby there later in the year when I finish maternity leave. A big thank you to the team for doing such an amazing job.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Hatton Children's Nursery 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.885 for Hatton Children's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 4.899 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hatton Children's Nursery is based on 16 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.899

  • 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.
