  • Nurtured Nursery St Winnow, Lostwithiel
Nurtured Nursery, which was graded 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in January 2018 and again in January 2023, offers a high standard of care and education for young children, based in its beautiful building and gardens, within the spectacular grounds of St Winnow Primary School.

Children are cared for by experienced well qualified staff who nurture children's well being and provide a wide range of engaging activities and resources both inside and out. Children are encouraged to express themselves creatively, and extend their physical capabilities through exploration of the natural environment. Following the EYFS curriculum ensures children are learning at their highest level, while supported by knowledgeable staff, in a safe and caring environment.

Parents are highly valued by staff and are wholeheartedly included in their child's learning journey. Children are given ample settling in sessions as required, to ensure a smooth transition from home to nursery, their routines are followed and their particular interests are provided for.

Respect for global issues is encouraged through an environmentally friendly approach within the setting. Children help with recycling. Investment is made in lasting toys, products and furnishings. Food is grown on site which the children plant, nurture, harvest and cook. The nursery chef prepares healthy meals and snacks using local produce prepared from scratch, which the children enjoy together with staff.

I could not recommend this Nursery more. The staff are thoughtful and helpful, sensitive and good fun. My youngest is always happy in go in and has thirds of every lunch! My eldest has grown so much in confidence in the last 9 months since he has been coming to Nurtured Nursery and he has made good
friends he will now go to school with. I can't thank you enough.

This is a fantastic Nursery and I wouldn't want to send my daughter anywhere else. The staff are all extremely welcoming and friendly and each one knows my daughter very well. We are always greeted with a smile and given detailed information about her day, as well as home diaries and beautiful learning
journeys. She spends lots of time playing outside and using her imagination whilst having fun and learning.

Brilliant nursery, with a really lovely team. Great focus on outdoor play and letting children enjoy themselves in a fun, secure environment. Very flexible (even at short notice), which is perfect as a working parent and difficult to find in a lot of other nurseries. Each age group is well-catered for
and has dedicated environments to suit their capabilities. A really lovely place for children to attend.

Both my children attended Nurtured Nursery. The staff and management are welcoming and knowledgeable. They demonstrate a high level of care towards the children and encourage them to explore and learn in a nurturing and fun way. The turn over of staff is extremely low and this makes a great difference
as a parent. Each key person that my children have had (often the same person) has shown empathy, knowledge and dedication. The staff are approachable and always keen to feedback to parents on what the children have done that day - this makes such a difference!

This is a fantastic nursery and although my child only attends during breakfast club and after school club the time she spends with the team and other children is greatly enjoyed.


By nature by child is quite shy and reserved, however the staff make the environment very comfortable and are extremely

supportive as well as friendly. This has enabled her to grow in confidence over the past few months of attending and is somewhere my daughter is really comfortable in going as well as being somewhere she has fun. I equally have 100% satisfaction she is in safe hands and being well nurtured/cared for whilst in the care of the team.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Nurtured Nursery. I initially hated the thought of having to send my son to nursery but knowing he is being properly cared for in a homely environment makes it a whole lot easier! The staff are fantastic. They really care about and are interested in the children
they look after. There is a great balance between learning and play. The children are encouraged to play outside at every available opportunity which can only be a good thing. The children's food is freshly cooked on site and the menu is varied and interesting. My son generally comes home full, happy, shattered and looking like an urchin- always a sign of a fun day!

My daughter always wants to come to nursery and has great fun every time. She loves the practitioners and will go to them for any of her needs. She is always trying new activities I could not provide at home.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.687)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.687) out of 10 for Nurtured Nursery St Winnow 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.979 for Nurtured Nursery St Winnow is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 3.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nurtured Nursery St Winnow is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.333

  • 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.
