Ashbourne Day Nursery was a fantastic nursery for my little one! Their communication was effective and they were great at sharing the engaging activities that they were doing on a regular basis. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone in Wing, especially the care and attention that we received with
our son.

My niece loves going to nursery, she is so excited when she see the door. The staff are very friendly and give good feedback about her day they seem to know the children really well. The manager is very friendly and approachable, she made a really effort to introduce herself, its also nice that she
is getting to know each individual child. The children have a lot of different activities to explore which is nice to see we spend time talking about her day on the way home.

Our daughter received inadequate care on a number of occasions during her nursery experience here, and even when issues escalated to management, the issues unfortunately continued. Her basic needs were not met therefore we would not recommend this nursery.

We came to view the nursery in November 2021 on a recommendation from my sister-in-law who has a child in a different Ashbourne Nursery. As we are first-time parents, there were a lot of nerves and questions from our side. The staff were excellent in answering all our questions and providing the information
we needed to give us reassurance. He has been there for a while now and does full four days a week. My son absolutely loves it there. He is a very busy child and is provided with an amazing range of activities that meet all his needs and encourages learning. The staff are absolutely amazing and show a genuine passion for what they do. They have created a very safe environment for our little one. The rooms are well equipped with a wide variety of toys and the outside play spaces are any child’s dream. Meals and snacks are healthy, well-balanced and cater for my very picky eater. (They do have an amazing chef). Such a great team, zero faults.

We'd recommend the nursery without hesitation, the staff are excellent, and both our sons have settled and thrived since starting. We feel confident that they're looked after, but also allowed to explore and make friends (and mistakes!). We're given timely and accurate feedback when there are issues,
and a bit of a chat when things are going well. Sending your kids to be looked after by strangers for the first time is quite daunting, but we've always had confidence that they'll be happy and safe. I'd love to mention some of the excellent staff by name, but I'd probably end up naming them all!

My son has recently joined Ashbourne at Wing and I can say, without hesitation, he loves it!
The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure his transition into full days at nursery was smooth, and that he felt safe and settled before beginning his time there. There is a real sense of community and
a focus on the individual, allowing space and support for him to grow at his own pace and explore his individual interests, whilst also learning and developing his social skills.
At 18 months my son, like many during the pandemic, has spent a lot of his very early life quite cut off from others; within the month he has been at Wing he has become more relaxed, sociable and sensitive to other children, which is magic to see.
We can't praise the staff or the facilities highly enough and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone.

My daughter started nursery here in January. The team were fantastic with getting her to settle in and within a few weeks, she is like a different child! She is smiling and happy when she gets to nursery, her development has come on in leaps and bounds and as a parent, I couldn’t be happier knowing
my daughter is happy, healthy and well looked after.

We started sending our son to nursery just before his first birthday. Naturally, we were worried about how he would get on as all of his life has been in lockdown, so he hadn’t had the opportunity to meet many other people or babies. It was the best decision we ever made, he settled in very quickly
and he is so excited to go in every week. The staff are so lovely and kind, they take such good care of the children and I know he is in safe hands.

My son started nursery 8 months later than anticipated, due to this I was naturally nervous due to his huge attachment to me and not wanting to be left. Although it's been emotional leaving him the staff at Wing have been amazing. One member of staff, in particular, has made me feel confident and happy
in our decision to send him to nursery. He comes home in such a brilliant mood enthusiastically babbling when I ask about his day. Ashbourne tell me in great detail what he's been up to, how he is and what he's eaten. The meals are always healthy and nutritious. This is particularly important to us as we like him to eat well. Ashbourne have well-thought-out activities that engage and grow little minds, this again is important to us as we didn't want him to have repetitive days. All in all very happy with our choice of nursery.

I am very happy we decided to send my son to this nursery. My son loves going there, the staff are a lovely team of ladies. My son became very poorly whilst at nursery, the staff could not have done more to help him and also supported me when I came to collect him. They always go out of their way to
help and support and always with a smile, I would highly recommend this nursery. I will be sad when my son leaves there.

The staff are all lovely, attentive and welcoming and easy to get hold of if needed. My daughter can be shy in new situations but took no time to settle in. I always feel reassured and my daughter adores going to nursery.

I have been using Ashbourne Day Nurseries for years for 3 of my children. The staff are always so friendly and fun, the kids have always loved them even as staff change over time the atmosphere remains the same. Wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else!

All staff have been lovely to us and our little boy. They have worked very hard to continue working in these uncertain times, which can not be easy in any job role on the front line the last year. All staff deserve great praise and recognition for their dedication to their jobs and the children they
are helping develop and learn the most important skills in life, speech, reading, social skills, boundaries and many more.

I like the management and organisation at this nursery. They respond quickly and are very helpful in answering questions changing days etc. My daughter always seems like she's had a nice day, coming out smiling. I like the variety of food and activities. The only one thing for us is that we would love
to do a half-day based around the school hours which doesn't work but that is true of all nurseries I think. Overall happy parents!

My son has been attending Ashbourne for almost two years and loves his days at nursery. He just about manages to wave goodbye as he runs in to get his breakfast and see his friends! It’s a huge weight off your mind when you can go to work and know that your child is happy and being well looked after.
The staff always give a warm welcome and at pick up, always provide a thorough handover of what has happened during the day. There are a wide range of activities to keep the children engaged and assist with their development. The children are encouraged to be independent (age-appropriate) for example pouring their own drinking water and clearing away their plates etc. which is great for their self-esteem. Choosing to send my son to Ashbourne is genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

The girls work so hard to care for all of the children at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Wing. They set out lovely activities and learning for the children every day and have good relationships with parents/carers. I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing child care. My son used to go here from
10 months right up until 4 1/2 and my daughter started at 7 months old and still there now, they absolutely love it. They have grown up so much and made lots of friends along the way.

My daughter is 3 at the end of the month and absolutely loves attending Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Wing. She started at the nursery when she was 1 and the manager and staff in the baby room really took the time to settle her in well because she was an incredibly clingy baby. This is my third child to
attend the nursery and it’s been fab for all of them. The staff are fantastic and during this lockdown, they are helping keep a sense of normality for the little ones. I really recommend the nursery.

Current Review Score: 7.6 (7.617)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.6 (7.617) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Wing is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 4 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 4.104 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Wing is calculated as follows: ( (27 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.104

  • 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 3.513 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Wing 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.263

  • 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.
