My 2 year old son currently goes to Yarnton and he really enjoys it. Within a few weeks we noticed improvements in his speech and ability to follow routine. Yarnton really takes an interest in the child's individual needs. We get updates in the app on his progress and how he is developing which also
helps us to know how we can support at home. The manager is really engaged. She has a clear passion for children and seeing them develop. My eldest son also went to Yarton and is now doing really well in Primary school. I would definitely recommend Yarnton to any parent looking for a nursery that focuses on individual needs of children.

Very happy with care provided to my child at the nursery. Staff seems very alert to child's need, communicates effectively any concerns they might have directly (sometimes they use the app for reminders which is handy) and my baby who is currently 14 months is progressing well under their care. There
is a wealth of activities to help them develop most of their skills and understand the world around them.

The team are lovely and they always keep us updated and let us know throughout the day what he has eaten via the app. The app is a very effective way of communicating with each other if we have queries. They respond quickly.

My son has been attending Yarnton Way Nursery since the beginning of October. After only a few days, the morning drop-offs were easy as he was happy to be in the nursery. He has a great bond with his key worker who is lovely. I love the app that keeps us fully updated throughout the day.
All staff
are super friendly. Very happy that I chose Yarnton Way for my boy. Thank you all for all that you do.

My child started the nursery in September 2024. He was very nervous and anxious but the support and encouragement given from all staff made it a very easy and quick turnaround for him and also me as his mum. Going here has also made him become such a better eater and speaker. I'm very happy I chose
this nursery and my child gets very excited about going on the days he attends. Thank you to all at Yarnton Way Nursery.

My son has been going to the nursery for 7 months now. He got settled there on his very 2nd day. The staff are very sweet and trained. My son loves spending time there. He learns a lot while in nursery and we can see how well he has grown all this time. They send regular updates on the app which puts
moms like me at ease knowing how your child is eating and sleeping. The setting is also very nice and organized. I love the staff and how friendly they are. Totally recommend this nursery. The only thing I'll suggest is they revamp their bigger playground.

We have a 1-year-old son who started nursery about a month ago. The staff have been wonderful making us very comfortable, providing a good environment, and helping us with all of our questions. Our son runs into nursery every day with a big smile on his face and is received with open arms. Every day
we pick him up he's delighted to see us and a tiny little bit sad to leave. We love that all the kids from the different classes know him too and shout bye to him on the way out. The building itself looks a bit old, don't let that stop you from looking inside!

As a parent they have facilities that keep us connected and really help with the transitions for new mums. I would recommend this nursery to anyone

My son started 2 days a week in April before I started working full time in July when he has gone up to 4 days a week. The managers are very efficient and come back to answer any questions.
The baby team leader joined just before we did, and has made such an effort to bond with my son, which is extremely
reassuring for me. When she is not there, he knows that another lady will be there for him, too. The team leader is also very good at communicating with me on how he is getting on and she knows how to adapt to his needs depending on his mood. He also eats amazingly there and his naps are better than they are at home!
Every week I notice how he is progressing and his confidence is increasing. The outdoor space is brilliant so that the babies have fresh air and get to have a change of environment. I would 100% recommend!

My daughter has been attending this nursery from when she was 10 months old.
The staff is always friendly and happy to accommodate reasonable requests. They are well trained and very good with the children. My little girl loves going to nursery and loves her friends, which includes the staff.
She
has learnt and developed a lot.
I like the communication via the app.
You also get updates on what they do and the various activities they do with the children.
Always happy to offer advice as well.

My son only just started in April and he always look forward going to nursery. I highly recommend Yarnton Way Nursery, it is environment
friendly here and I know my son will be safe at all times. Management here is also so helpful and always pay attention to detail.

My daughter has been at Yarnton Way for almost 18 months and really enjoys it. She has come so far in her learning and development and has become a happy and outgoing child and I think the nursery has played a huge role in this. The children take part in a wide range of activities during the day and
there is a big garden for them to play in when the weather is nice. The food they serve is balanced and healthy and my daughter seems to be a lot less fussy there than at home so I feel confident she is getting more of a balanced diet. The app makes it really easy to contact the nursery staff and to keep up to date with what the children have been doing during the week. All of the staff seem very nice and have a great bond with my daughter, who often talks about them at home, along with all of her friends. I would definitely recommend Yarnton Way to other Mums and Dads.

Great nursery. I can fully trust the staff with my child. The staff are welcoming, calm and professional. Keeps me informed of everything throughout the day and will always keep a closer eye on my little one if I have expressed concerns about child's health or incidents involving other children.

Absolutely Amazing! My son has been there for two years now and he loves everything: the staff, his peers, the activities.
Some of the reasons that make me really glad I chose this nursery:
1) Staff: the staff is amazing, always approachable, kind, caring, ready and happy to support the children
and respective parents. For example: their support and guide with my son's potty training journey has been invaluable.
2) Facilities: the space is really good, there's lots of space (indoors/outdoors), always clean, a large variety of toys/books. They have safeguarding guides and practices.
3) Learning: the learning method is great, the children have lots of activities and experiment learning is many different ways. My son's learning curve is visible and incredible.
4) The app: is a great way to check on my son's daily actions, weekly activities, communicate with the nursery staff, check and pay invoices, etc. The staff does a really great job on keeping the parents informed and updated.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Yarnton Way Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.846 for Yarnton Way Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.846

  • 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 Yarnton Way Nursery is based on 24 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
