Our little boy started at Ashington nursery when he was nearly 2. Before that, he'd been with a wonderful childminder who we loved but she stopped childminding, leaving us with 6 weeks to find alternative childcare. We were apprehensive about transitioning from a childminder to nursery, but we needn't
have worried. Everyone was so helpful from day one, from the admin staff at head office to the nursery staff who showed us around. The building isn't as flashy as some nurseries but the staff are engaged, kind, fun, and really care about the children. They come up with all sorts of inventive activities for the kids to do and they're allowed to get a bit messy and have fun. They're always accommodating and tell you the good and the bad bits of your child's day - I think this is important as I'd rather know if they've had a bit of a tough day rather than the staff gloss over it. Overall I'd highly recommend Ashington.

Reply from Hannah Harber, Parent Liaison Advisor at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

We are thrilled and impressed with Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-School. My daughter joined the preschool room in January after the sudden closure of her previous nursery. The manager and staff went above and beyond to ensure my daughter settled well. Nothing was too much to ask for. Since then, my daughter
has flourished. The parent app provides regular updates, which are wonderful. The staff show a genuine interest in the children. Recently, they participated in the village festival day, and the children created masterpieces and paraded together around the village. A truly wonderful experience. I must mention the chef, my daughter loves the food he prepares-she has even asked if he can make her dinners at home.
Overall, I highly recommend Ashington Nursery & Pre-School for the outstanding care and attention my daughter has received. The staff are amazing, developing a genuine bond with the children. It's heartwarming to see, and nothing is too much trouble. A heartfelt thank you for everything.

Reply from Amy Hancock, Parent Liaison Manager at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

Hi Lisa, thank you very much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. I remember the closure of your old nursery well - a truly stressful time for all involved, and I am so happy to hear that your daughter has settled so well into her new nursery.
Do you have a copy of our cookbook? If not, please ask the nursery team for a copy - there are some of our lunch recipes in there, which she might enjoy!

My little one has been here since the baby room and goes up to preschool next week. I don’t have a bad word to say - he loves it there and always has. The staff are just wonderful - both to him and me. Great facilities, lots of outdoor time, great food, and lots of other very sweet and polite children
from other families.

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. The staff are all so wonderful and great with the kids. My children have become very attached to them, and it’s not hard to see why. The children all have a great amount of learning/play each day, and I love to hear the different things they’ve learned when
they come home.
We, as parents, are kept well informed of daily activities via a handy little app where I am sent pictures of my children throughout the day!
I’ve become quite attached to the nursery myself through seeing how happy my children are there, and I think each and every one of the staff is an absolute credit to the nursery family.

Reply from Amy Hancock, Parent Liaison Manager at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

Hi Danielle - Wow, what an absolutely amazing review! Thank you for taking the time to leave these kind words; the nursery team will be overjoyed to see them. Communication and maintaining the nursery and parent relationship are so important to us, so it is great to hear that the use of our app is so effective. If there are any team members that you would like to mention specifically, please do get in touch with me at amy@thenurseryfamily.co.uk - Reward and recognition are so important to us, and I would love to celebrate any team members who go above and beyond!

This nursery is the best nursery. My daughter started in 2020, and she has grown so much in her social skills and her speech and language.

Super impressed with the nursery! My son joined the preschool room in December after a turbulent closure at his previous nursery. It's always been a struggle getting my son to go to nursery as he struggles with separating from me and usually once he's in, he has a great day, but the change I've seen
in him here at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school is amazing! Now, he gets excited about going in, runs in, in the morning, hangs up his coat on the peg, and says goodbye! The team have always been so reassuring and I now leave him feeling happy he's going to have the best day! His confidence, vocabulary, and skills have noticeably improved too. Overall, couldn't be happier and would like to also mention the amazing chef who has set the standards very high for us at home!

Reply from David Hancock, CEO at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

Hi Mill, thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. I am so happy to hear that your son has settled into his new nursery so well, and enjoys coming to spend the day with our wonderful team! The team really do work hard to make sure that our newest family members feel safe and comfortable at nursery, which was especially important in your case due to the unusually quick transition, so I really am overjoyed to read this. We are so proud of our menu, which was put together by our team of talented chefs, in conjunction with a nutritionist - I do hope that you have received copies of our cookbooks which contain the secrets of our kitchens! If not, please ask your nursery manager for a copy, they are great!

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school. My little boy has genuinely flourished here in such a short space of time, moving him to a new preschool was a daunting experience but we have been overwhelmed by how quickly he settled. We have gone from having tears at
the door every morning at his previous childcare to him looking forward to going in every day. All the staff show a genuine interest in him and his interests and the regular updates on the parent app are fantastic. Thank you to the manager and her amazing team!

Hi Emily, thank you for this lovely review - I am aware that your son had to move nurseries quickly due to circumstances beyond your control and so I am really happy to hear that he has settled in so nicely.

My son recently started at preschool here after his current nursery closing unexpectedly. He is nearly 3 and I was very anxious about him starting a new preschool - however, my experience has been excellent at Ashington. The manager and her team have gone above and beyond to reassure us as parents and
settle my son so he feels comfortable quickly. Within one day he was so so happy and hasn't stopped talking about his new nursery. They have been wonderful and supported and cared for him so well on his transition in such a short space of time. I am so grateful to them - they are all amazing.

Hi Tania, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We were shocked to hear of the closure of your previous nursery, and completely understand your anxieties about starting somewhere new, it's been a very stressful time for so many parents! I am so happy to hear that your son has settled into his new nursery so quickly and easily. The team have really felt the pressure this week and will be so happy to read this lovely feedback. We hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My child has recently left Ashington nursery which progressively went downhill since the beginning of the year.
Frequent changes of staff with lack of interest in the children. Poor feedback about what they'd done or eaten. 4 photos of my child in 2 years, no Christmas decorations, Mother's Day cards,
etc or work brought home. Things that were asked to be worked on weren't such as ensuring my child visited the toilet and writing. Graduation was a last-minute thing that many couldn't make as they had already left or were on holiday. The final day went without any sort of send-off or recognition of it being the last day which was sad for me.
I would have removed my child but they were happy and nearly going to school so didn't want to upset things.

Reply from David Hancock, CEO at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

I am very dismayed to read your comments and feel they completely misrepresent the actual series of events you refer to. You and I exchanged several emails earlier this year on a couple of points which were resolved, so I am bewildered why you would take to a public forum to lambast the very people you happily entrusted to care for your child for the rest of the year.
Our team commit all of their time to meet the needs of every child - this is a highly challenging and complex task; especially when some children simply do not want to make Christmas decorations or Mother's Day cards. Our educators find that when this happens better results are achieved by not pressuring the child; although their job is only made more difficult if the child feels pressured by its parents.
My team found your behaviour thoroughly demotivating and exhausting and your review is in stark contrast to those of other very happy parents.

My daughter has been attending Ashington Day Nursery in the baby room since January 2022 and absolutely loves it. The staff are so warm, friendly, and caring that we always feel extremely happy when we leave our daughter for the day and confident that she will have the best day developing her skills.
She in fact loves it so much that she barely looks at us as we drop her off - she wants to be in the room playing as quickly as possible! The food that the on-site chef prepares is varied and healthy. We receive daily updates on what our daughter has eaten during the day and how much, which is great. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Ashington Day Nursery and we should say a special thank you to our daughter’s key worker who takes such good care of our daughter, giving us detailed updates on her day. Our daughter absolutely adores her and we know she is in very safe hands.

Hi Alex, thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts.

My daughter joined Ashington 6 months ago after not settling at her first nursery. The team were so loving and caring from day 1 and within 2 weeks she was reaching out for them at the door. The team build trust with us by being open and transparent about my daughter's experience at nursery, super friendly
at the door, and getting to know my daughter's likes and dislikes. I feel she is loved by the team. I’d like to make a special mention to the full-time team members in the baby room alongside the head of the toddler room who have helped my daughter to flourish.

Hi, and thank you for leaving such a lovely review.

My child has been with the Ashington branch for some time now and I cannot rate the room staff highly enough. Two members of staff, in particular, have such a way with my child that is so heartwarming to see. He gets excited to see them and tells me all about them during dinner. The room carers are
hard-working, dedicated, caring, and just generally all-round lovely. I would have rated the nursery a 5 (and the Management star rating) but I feel Senior Management and corporate policies let the team down. Newsletters could be improved, funding allocated better (ie to outside facilities and new learning toys as opposed to a better invoicing system), policies reviewed, covid policies more up to date. Also marked down on value for money as the branch is priced around the same as other local providers but doesn't provide the same overall service. Others provide regular updates (daily or weekly as opposed to our monthly updates), more outdoor space, forest adventures and the overall space of some are bigger.

Reply from David Hancock, CEO at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review - we really do value your feedback. I love to hear that your son is so happy and excited to go to nursery, and I will definitely pass your comments on to the team in his room. We take great pride in only recruiting the best practitioners to our family, the ones who display a real passion for providing the best and most engaging learning experiences. I would love to personally recognise the team members you mention - if you get a moment please email me with their names.
In regards to our Covid policies, keeping the team, parents, and children safe is our top priority so we do have very strict protocols during the current climate - these are reviewed by our health and safety specialist regularly. We do have plans to refurbish our Ashington nursery - so the children can enjoy an even better learning experience.

(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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 26 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.
