A warm and welcoming setting, Ashburton House Day Nursery has created dedicated spaces for Babies - under 2 years old, Teenies - from around 20 months to around 28 months, Toddlers - aged 2 to 3 years old and Preschoolers - aged 3 to 5 years old.

Set in a spacious detached Georgian house ideally located on the High Street just by Monument Green, the setting offers both part time and full time sessions to suit busy families, as well as accepting the Early years funding for children aged 9+ months from September 2024.

Ashburton House is perfectly equipped to offer everything that children need to extend their learning and development both indoors and through exploring the outside environment. The nursery offers a delightful Mud Kitchen, a secret garden (where the children learn about growing plants from seeds and caring for them as they grow), and an exclusive covered baby garden.

Home cooked meals by the in house chef who designs and creates the menus. Amber bees Wednesday mornings - classes take children on a musical journey to explore different themes, including lots of magical props, instruments, sensory parachutes, lights and bubbles. As well as Hearbeeps sessions every Friday morning.

Our son has been at Ashburton House Day Nursery for the past 2.5 years and has loved it since the beginning. It's a really lovely, nurturing environment that also provides the opportunities/expertise to help children develop and learn. Our daughter is joining Ashburton this year too and we're looking
forward to her having the same great experience.

Both our children have attended Ashburton House Day Nursery, with our youngest starting last September. Both our children have really enjoyed their time at Ashburton, the staff have been brilliant, they have a great outdoor space and lovely development spaces indoors like the sensory areas. The meals
are yummy and nutritious! The management team are very experienced and super helpful. I'm so happy we chose Ashburton House.

We love Ashburton House Day Nursery! Our son had just turned 2 years old when we moved into this area and he first attended this nursery. We were very nervous as he had been under the care of a local childminder since he was very little and who he had a very close relationship with.
He started in
teenies and got soon attached to his key worker and other carers. We could quickly see improvements in all areas such as motor skills, communication and nutrition (he is a very picky eater and he now eats much more food). They made the whole process easy and loving. He gets all the cuddles he needs. He is now in toddlers.
We love that every single member of staff knows him so he trusts and feels safe with everyone in the nursery. It's a proper family.
Food is excellent (freshly made on site), lots of activities and a great outdoor space to enjoy all year round as a big part of it is covered.
We have nothing but gratitude and we plan to keep our son in Ashburton until he moves on to school.

Good afternoon, thank you for your kind words, it's so nice to hear that you have entrusted your son with us and that he has settled and is doing well with us. We will certainly pass on your comments to the staff and the chef. Many thanks.

Fantastic nursery where our son attended for a year, all staff were very kind and caring, big thank you, especially to all key staff who were so kind and caring to our son during his time at Ashburton.
It's a safe and nice nursery and it's helped our son's development greatly.

My son started in baby and was clearly very well taken care of. He recently moved into toddlers and the team has been very good with helping him settle in. There is a great range of fun activities (indoor and outdoor) my son is always happy to attend the nursery.

We have had 2 daughters at Ashburton House over the last 5 years and absolutely love the staff and the setting. The team is well managed with clear comms from both the office and the room staff. The children have great food and are well looked after with a variety of play, indoors and outside. The children
have gone from babies through to preschool at Ashburton and have left ready for school in all ways - motor skills, language and socially.

I cannot recommend Ashburton House Day Nursery highly enough!
The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing, and have made my children feel right at home.
The variety of activities offered is impressive, supporting the children's learning and development in a fun and engaging way.
The children
are fed nutritious and varied food for their meals and have always eaten well.
The management team is excellent, always approachable and responsive to any queries or concerns.
The nursery is well-organised, clean, and safe, giving us peace of mind that our children are in good hands.

My 17-month-old son loves attending Ashburton House. He has been in the babies room for a few months, and fitted in great. All of the staff across the nursery are very friendly, and helpful to the little ones, he comes away so happy.
They always do great activities with the children, keeping them
fully entertained, and constantly learning.
The food menu always looks good. I have been told my son asks for second helpings, so that is a good sign!

We have been really happy with Ashburton House Day Nursery since our 2-year-old son started here. He has learned so much from the key workers and talks about the nursery all the time. We feel that he is being cared for really well and generally feel the warmth from all the staff members there. He also
seems to be flourishing in the environment, and with all the friends he is making. We love that they spend time in different spaces during the day, it makes such a difference! We have been very pleased with the Nursery Manager and Deputy Manager - both very communicative and helpful. Very happy with our experience so far.

Highly recommend Ashburton House Day Nursery. My eldest daughter transferred from another nursery and she was made to feel so welcome and settled in really quickly. My youngest daughter started from 8 months and also settled in really quickly. At 4 and 2 now, they absolutely love going to nursery. The
staff are great, so caring and nurturing. The activities are varied and support the children’s learning and best of all, my children are very happy there.

We have been using Ashburton House Day Nursery since 2019. We cannot recommend them highly enough. The care and compassion they show towards the children is second to none and they're always there to support you. The opportunities they offer the children in a nursery environment are phenomenal and the
garden renovation has had a huge impact in allowing the children to play in different spaces. It is nothing but welcoming and my son enjoys going every day.

Our daughter has been with Ashburton House Day Nursery since she was only 8 months old and is currently in the toddler room. She has thrived there and clearly has a special relationship with a number of the practitioners who have looked after her across the different rooms. The nursery has a family
feel and is a nurturing environment. Every day she comes home talking about various activities, messy play, fun in the garden or trips out to see the ducks. Our second will be starting in a few months and I feel lucky that he will have the same people looking after him as well.

Have had both our children here and been very happy, one is still there now.
The manager and the team are great, so much so that my youngest now insists on wearing a suit and tie every day like the manager.
Would recommend.

Can’t recommend Ashburton House enough. The staff are great and extremely helpful. My daughter looks forward to every day she attends and has built a really strong rapport with both her friends at the nursery and all the staff. The range of activities means she learns something new every day and has
a great experience doing so. She’s as excited to tell us about her day as we are to hear about it.

I was very nervous about sending our son to nursery, as he was a lockdown baby and hadn’t been looked after by anyone except me. He has taken a couple of months to settle in but is really starting to come out of his shell now and loves going to nursery. They do a huge amount of messy play/crafts which
I love. The staff have been so helpful and always make the effort to get back to me when I’ve emailed or phoned about anything to do with him. He goes every morning with a huge smile on his face!

A wonderful friendly nursery. Every day our daughter is developing, learning new things and skills. The food at the nursery is so varied and our daughter pretty much eats everything. The staff are brilliant. The connection they make with the children is lovely to see.

The people at Ashburton House have been lovely to our little boy. He settled in nicely and he enjoys going to the nursery every day. The app is very useful to know how much he's eaten and slept and follow any other kind of observations on his development.

Ashburton House is a wonderful nursery, the team is incredibly nurturing and our daughter is very very happy there! She’s been there for 3 years now and loves going to see her friends and her favourite person. I think all the little ones love her! The things our daughter is learning at pre-school and
what she does as extracurricular activities is wonderful! The managers are quick to respond to any queries you may have and the chefs produce really yummy food, to the extent that if we try and make the same dish at home it’s not eaten or is disliked because "that’s not how it looks or tastes at preschool, mummy!" Looks like I need to get a few days in the nursery kitchen to get trained up to cook at home! Thank you for looking after our little one and for being there for us parents!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.668)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.668) out of 10 for Ashburton House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.735 for Ashburton House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.735

  • 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 4.933 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashburton House Day Nursery is based on 14 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.933

  • 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.
