Vantage Park Day Nursery is fantastic. My partner and I looked at seven nurseries and this one came out tops. The staff have always been professional and pleasant to deal with. The facilities are clean, modern and friendly to be in. Some of the nurseries we visited felt like a place that would just
simply take care or your child while you were at work. Vantage Park felt like they had a plan to teach and grow your child. They have daily and weekly plans for what they aim to achieve. One thing they don't do is have an 'app' for minute by minute updates on events in the day. I'm glad that they don't. I prefer that the staff are looking after the children rather than spending time posting on tablets. I get a daily summary at the end of the day when I collect my daughter. My daughter has grown and developed so much over the past year, and I have no regrets in sending her here. The staff (all the staff) have always gone the extra mile to ensure that my daughter is looked after.

The manager and staff are lovely, very caring and understanding. My little boy has really come out of his shell since starting. It's nice to have a manager that cares as much about your kids as you do, going to work and leaving your children can be so daunting, worrying if they are safe and happy all
day but management make it so much easier.

Easily one of, if not the best nursery setting in the area. My child thoroughly enjoys going to this nursery and gets excited when he knows it is nursery day. You are sent a weekly sheet via email each week, which lets you know what the children have been up to and what the following week includes,
including a food menu for the whole week. Safeguarding of the children is of utmost importance to them, which puts your mind at rest, as a parent. I would also say that Vantage Park has most certainly helped in the development of my child, he always comes home and tells me what he has learnt, which I find very endearing. Also, very clean and has great resources.

Outstanding nursery. The first feeling you get when you walk into the nursery is a sense of 'family' and it's true, they look after the children as if they were their own, showing a considerable amount of tolerance, empathy, understanding, and trust in the children. The nursery manager has done a fantastic
job in keeping her staff engaged, following protocol, but also always trying to innovate better ways to do certain things around the nursery, whether it be practical things regarding sandals, sun lotion and so on, or if it's regarding illness and injuries. What's also apparent is that the work environment is friendly and non-competitive, so all the ladies who work there seem to get on very well, which is actually a really important factor when choosing a nursery, I feel. The development structure and format is actually really good, and this is where the chunk of the premium day rate I feel comes into value. 1:1 focus with the child really helps.

As soon as I looked around I knew this was the nursery for my little one. It's a clean and fun-looking space for the children to explore. The weekly sheets are great and useful. It's lovely to see what they have been up to. The management were very thorough with the care plan required for my little

Outstanding nursery, I felt it from the moment we visited to my son's first day and he has been at the nursery for 5 months now. The staff are excellent, so kind and friendly and my son's face lights up when he sees them, which is exactly what we wanted. I have no doubt that my son is in the best hands
and the staff are really good at telling you about their day and what they have been doing! It's always really informative which I am grateful for. Also, the weekly sheet that is emailed out to parents is a highlight too and there is so much detail about everything you need to know and also a glimpse at what the children have been doing. I found it very reassuring to see my son enjoying himself and learning while he is there. We have noticed a big transition in his development since attending nursery and I can only thank the staff for all their hard work and care in helping him achieve this! The facilities are also exceptional inside and out. We would definitely recommend this nursery!

My daughter has been at Vantage Park Day Nursery for 3-months. I'm so happy with the level of care given and the time spent talking with me every day when I ring to check how her day is going. My daughter always comes home happy and has really developed since attending. She's almost eating unaided,
saying lots of different words, and just seems very content. I cannot express how Vantage Park Day Nursery has helped with the transition of going back to work. I feel at ease and happy to walk away once my daughter has been dropped off, allowing me to focus on my job, but knowing I can ring as many times as needed. My daughter always brings items home that she has made, and I love receiving the news sheet every Friday and seeing what she's been up to. Thank you to all of the staff; you have made what I thought was going to be an emotional and hard process seems so natural.

What an outstanding nursery! Our son adores all the staff and they’ve made him feel so at home since he started in July. They’ve been so professional and attentive with his allergy care, which we’re so grateful for and he’s gone from strength to strength with his learning and development. We love hearing
about his day and learning about the brilliant activities the staff create; they always sound so fun but also educational. They’re such warm people and we truly appreciate all their hard work helping our son learn, grown and flourish. We’d highly recommend this nursery!

The level of expertise, professionalism as well as genuine friendliness at Vantage Park Day Nursery is amazing and reassuring when leaving our two daughters at the nursery all day, three times a week. Both daughters get on very well here and have settled in thanks to the attentive staff. It is large,
spacious, and there is an emphasis on constant learning, development and support. The activities are wide-ranging, the meals are healthy and varied and we are very happy with our choice and our girls continue to prosper by attending Vantage Park.

Great little nursery with a really good culture. Both my children love it here. It’s clean and spacious. My little girl over the last 6 months has experienced woodwork, watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, planting of vegetables, harvesting the veg and using them in activities and plenty of
other forest activities. The team work with you and your needs and listen to your needs and make changes accordingly. I was fully supported during potty training and the team offered plenty of support and advice along the way.

We've had such a positive experience here at this Nursery. The staff are polite, friendly and very helpful. I remember being a bit nervous whilst my son was settling in as he was going through separation anxiety and I thought he would not cope but the staff here made it quite seamless for him to transition.
The manager and team provided him with top notch care which made him feel at ease. Now, my son is more sociable, loves being at nursery and I can tell he is happy as he is full of smiles even after having a 'filled' day.
The Nursery facility is modern, very neat and the kids are well looked after by their key person(s). Being located in central Huntingdon is another icing on the cake as it is easy to locate. My husband and I are happy we made the right decision as we had been to a couple of other daycare centres but none of them come close. We are impressed by the level of continued commitment and support the nursery provides towards our son's progressive learning and development.

Fantastic nursery! The staff all know my daughter well and she looks forward to going each time! She is constantly talking about the staff at home even on weekends and so it's lovely to see how important they are to her. That goes from the manager to the staff in the rooms. Everyone is so friendly when
she turns up and always smiling. They have been so so supportive with transitions like potty training and moving up rooms, always ensuring she is comfortable and that we are as well. Outdoor space is great and she loves the mud kitchen so I've been told! Food is also really great. Healthy well-balanced meals and a lot of thought has clearly been put into the menu each week. Would highly recommend Vantage Park Day Nursery!

My daughter has been with Vantage Park Day Nursery for nearly 2 years now and we couldn’t be happier with it! All staff are very friendly and helpful, highly professional, take great care of my girl and feel like a second family to us already. My daughter has been supported and encouraged at nursery
through major stages of her life like potty training, I feel that she is very safe there. She is constantly developing new skills and is extremely excited to get back to nursery every day and actually misses her teachers and friends a lot which is the best sign for me. Kids eat a very healthy varied diet at nursery with all foods cooked on-premises. The development and progress of each child is thoroughly noted and reported to parents which gives us great insight. During the lockdown, the nursery was very supportive of kids and stayed in touch via little videos sent to us with some nursery songs or activities that my daughter enjoyed watching a lot. All in all - a fantastic nursery!

This nursery is fantastic. From the staff to the equipment to the curriculum. Our daughter is thriving here. Her confidence is growing, her vocabulary is expanding and she is learning to eat well-balanced meals. The staff builds such good bonds with the children, I know she has comfort here if she needs
it. She is always so happy when I pick her up, which is so reassuring that she is happy, settled & loving her time here. We would recommend this nursery every time with confidence and without hesitation.

My daughter started in the youngest room and she is now in the pre-school room, time flies! I can only say positive things about everything and everyone here. The initial settling in stage was done with such care, supporting not only my daughter but me as well (first-time mum). She has progressed well
through the rooms and there is a lovely flow from room to room making it less daunting for the children. It's a lovely natural calming environment and much time is spent outside, also adding in forest school sessions. During the last few months, the staff have been incredible at keeping some normality for the children, during Facebook storytelling sessions and transitioning them back after the initial lockdown. Only praise from this mum, thank you.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.484)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.484) out of 10 for Vantage Park Day Nursery 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for Vantage Park Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.484 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vantage Park Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.234

  • 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.
