Amazing nursery, we've seen such a positive change in our daughter. The staff instil politeness, respect and a caring attitude into the kids. It's lovely to see. Very well run with a good balance between formal and informal learning.

My son has settled in so well and that's because the staff have been very welcoming in the babies room and the daily updates/pics are also great. They're very flexible around timings and if he's been under the weather.

The best kindergarten in the world! My son started there in January at the age of 3 with 0 English skills. Now his language skills are perfect and all day long he talks about the super good and funny things he did in preschool. In addition to all this, they place a huge emphasis on education, for example
creative teaching, learning the French language and proper nutrition. In this nursery- preschool, all children's needs are really provided for and they are accompanied through the various stages of development with great love and expertise. And we parents always receive up-to-date information, pictures and descriptions of our child's day. It was the best decision to choose Truly Scrumptious Early Years Nursery - Ongar.

My son has been at Truly Scrumptious for over 2 years, they have all always been exceptional, he has really flourished under their care. They have an excellent balance of learning and play and lots of outdoor play and good in-house cooked meals that he loves. They are preparing him well for going into
a school setting from a practical, social and emotional point of view. He particularly loves the French and yoga sessions they do. It was a real relief to find such reliable and trustworthy care and have been a real support to my son and myself.

I have one child currently in pre-school who started in the baby room and a school-age child who started with the nursery when they were pre-school age. Both my children have loved their time here and have gained so many skills both socially and academically whilst being there. They have made lovely
friends and have formed strong bonds with the staff who are amazing. The care the children receive is second to none.

Fantastic nursery. I can't speak highly enough of the staff and the facilities. My daughter loves going. She has quite a few food intolerances and this is well catered for. We get daily pictures and videos so we can be updated on what our children are doing daily. There's always fun activities as well
as structured learning, they even learn French. Can't fault it!

My two children recently joined this nursery because their usual nursery closed during the lockdown period.
I am very impressed with the staff who have made my children feel very comfortable, safe and happy from day one. The staff are very enthusiastic and friendly and they formed positive relationships
with my children. I appreciate that at present there are only a few children attending nursery (only children of key workers) and therefore the staff to children ratio is greater than under normal circumstances, but we have truly appreciated the daily updates and pictures sent via the app.
The layout of the nursery is very well thought out and there is ample space, with plenty of toys and activities.
The staff have been very accommodating with my children's allergies too.
My children seem to have a fun-filled day with multiple interesting activities and I can see their confidence growing each day. Thank you very much to the managers and staff at Truly Scrumptious!

Both of my children have attended the Romford branch of Truly Scrumptious and have been cared for by the staff who are now at the Ongar branch. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. We looked at LOTS of nurseries prior to our eldest starting nursery when she was two years old and I knew instantly
Truly was the place for her.
The nursery has a real family, close knit feel and I never once worried about the care our daughter received for the entire two years which has made being a working mum much easier and stress free.
When it was time to return to work a second time round I didn't hesitate in choosing the nursery again for my 6 month old, and he has been equally happy there.
The nursery manages to keep a real homely, loving feel, which I found a lot of nurseries lacked, all the staff know all of the children, right through to the lovely cooks who go out of their way to know the children's likes and dislikes. The blend of older, more experienced ladies and younger enthusiastic and extremely capable staff is perfect. My daughter enjoyed every single minute at the nursery and learned a lot too, giving her a great foundation for starting school. My son is turning into a real happy and very sociable little lad and is always full of smiles when we arrive in the mornings so they also give the nursery a thumbs up!

My little boy went to the Romford Truly Scrumptious which was run by the same members of staff as the new Ongar nursery.
He went there from the age of 2 until he left for school. The nursery is well run & it has a real family feel about it. I could not fault them & generally care about the children
especially the younger girls that work there.
They always put on lovely shows for the children at Christmas & special occasions. The food was great & healthy choices & the facilities for the children were great. I now have twins & if I could afford to send them there I would!!
It will always be fondly remembered as part of my little boys growing up.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.329)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.329) out of 10 for Truly Scrumptious Early Years Nursery - Ongar 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.929 for Truly Scrumptious Early Years Nursery - Ongar is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 4.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Truly Scrumptious Early Years Nursery - Ongar is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.7

  • 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.
