We moved our daughter to North Town from another nursery and have seen a huge difference. Her speech and confidence have come on leaps and bounds and she is much happier going to nursery in general. We are really pleased we chose to move her.

Great little nursery, and all the nursery practitioners are involved with the learning and development of my child. All the nursery practitioners appear compassionate and enthusiastic in their job roles. My son loves going to nursery and has a very special bond with his key worker. I have never had
any issues and feel happy my child is being well looked after whilst I'm at work. My son has become much more sociable and developed massively in his communication since being at North Town Nursery. I recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

North Town Nursery is one of the best nurseries in Taunton. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Also they are very attentive to the children and their wellbeing.
The nursery environment is very kid-friendly and the outdoor space has been expanded too.
One of the other things that I really like
about this nursery is that they keep parents up to date with kids development. Every time I pick my son up from there is he happy and excited. I think that says it all.
Thank you to the North Town Nursery staff!

North Town Nursery truly is wonderful. The staff are always so kind and helpful and help to make the children feel incredibly welcomed and safe in their environment.
They have so many different activities for the children to choose from and a lovely outdoor area for them to play in. The children are
supported to explore all that is available to them in the nursery through a mix of adult-led and independent activities, and I always love to get photos of what they've been up to that day uploaded onto the app.
Both my children have attended the nursery with the youngest attending currently. They always come out with a big smile on their face and cannot wait to tell me about what they've been up to.

North Town Nursery staff have been welcoming, caring and kind. When my son joined, it took a long time to settle, he had language challenges (he is not an English speaker) but they all showed support and care. We receive regular updates about my child's development, learning and progress.

North Town Nursery is absolutely amazing for anyone wishing to give their little ones the freedom to play and explore but also learn and get ready for school. My little one has been going to North Town for a year after a move to Taunton and her key worker couldn’t have been more loving and caring as
she settled in. It’s amazing that it’s on the school grounds as my little one now sees the older ones going to school every day and is starting to naturally talk about going to school. We love North Town, it’s an incredible nursery.

My daughter started North Town in September after previously attending a bigger setting. North Town have been so friendly and welcoming at every drop off and pick up, they tell me about her day as well as communicating via an app. The key worker posts pictures via the app most sessions so I can see
she’s having a great time! Can’t recommend them enough!

North Town has been a fantastic nursery since my child joined at the age of 2 years old. The staff team are all amazing, friendly and welcoming. I feel up to date with my child’s development and receive regular updates throughout the day through their learning journal platform. The nursery is well resourced
and provides a calm learning environment for my child to flourish in.

Every morning we are greeted with a welcoming friendly face, it is clear to see how much each practitioner cares. The activities and space is well thought out and accessible for the children, with activities which change weekly to keep the children’s attention and increase their range of knowledge and
learning techniques. We are always kept up to date with what my child in up to at nursery each day, which is a great insight to their day. I have no worries at all sending my child to North Town Nursery; I know their needs are at the forefront of all the practitioners, it is also great to see a hands on manager who is often found in the nursery supporting the staff and children. I cannot fault our experience with North Town Nursery. A wonderful space with wonderful people.

I recommend it to everyone because my little boy is having so much fun, we started in September and he loves all his teachers. The teachers are always kind and thoughtful towards the children and towards us parents, they are well organized and do lots of activities. I am happy that my son goes to this
school because he is in good hands.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.914)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.914) out of 10 for North Town Nursery 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.914 for North Town Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.914

  • 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 North Town Nursery is based on 18 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 28 number of registered child places is 5.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
