Meoncross children have an exceptional start to their education. The team welcome little ones from 2.5 years into a safe, secure and nurturing environment. The setting is a vibrant, bespoke and inspiring space for its youngest children to learn, grow, have fun and play in.

Meoncross Early Years (Nursery and Reception) is renowned for providing the best possible care for children at this pivotal stage – embarking on their all-important educational journey. Children benefit from specialist teaching in weekly subjects including French, Drama, PE, Music and Ballet. Regular Beach School and Mini-Masterchef cooking sessions are also very much enjoyed by all.

They take the time to get to know every child, their strengths and areas for development, which is guided by the bond they make with their key person. They foster an atmosphere where the children learn to value each other as individuals. They celebrate each other’s successes, are caring, considerate and friendly towards their peers.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery for our daughter. She runs in each day, eager to see her friends and teachers and take part in all the carefully planned activities.
All the staff are so caring and nurturing, taking the time to really get to know the children on an
individual basis and their families too.
Being connected to the school has been a real bonus with the children able to benefit from the superb facilities and expertise of specialist teachers. Families are often invited in for events and we loved watching the wonderful Nativity production and Sports Day.
We couldn't ask for a better start to our daughter's early years education.

Both of our children have been through Meoncross School and had wonderful experiences. The staff are lovely and take time to listen and nurture the child. They are so supportive.
Our son is always so excited to get into nursery (or school at he calls it), he enjoys learning through varied activities.
The resources are great and the outdoor equipment is fantastic. The experiences pupils are given even though they are only young are brilliant, I don't know any other nursery setting that does this.
The food is wonderful, healthy and varied.
We are very happy with everything at Meoncross and would fully recommend it.

Both my children have thrived under the care of Meoncross Nursery team. Their engaging curriculum ensures children develop across all areas of early years learning, really encouraging independence from a young age.
Every member of staff has such a positive and enthusiastic approach to their work
and this is shown in how happy the children are in their care.
I highly recommend Meoncross nursery, they truly care about the variety of activities, the development and happiness of each child as well as creating a family atmosphere.

We are very impressed with how our children have thrived at Meoncross Nursery and all within such a lovely, sweet setting. From social skills and confidence to what they learn with the learning resources they use! Communication is made easy with staff if ever there are any concerns and they really work
with you to help improve concerns. Our children were and are prepared for the best start, ready for Reception.

Really lovely nursery, so kind and welcoming of my child who was nervous to start. He has been treated with nothing but loving kindness and comes home every day telling me he had so much fun! There are so many opportunities to learn and develop at Meoncross, and he has advanced so much even just in
the few months he has attended. Looking forward to continuing on!

Meoncross is an amazing nursery with a wonderful staff. It truly does feel like a second family and my son has thrived. He loves his teachers and when dropped off we have never had any tears. In fact, we have never seen any teary children. The beach school, French, ballet, gardening, and cooking in
small groups are what sets Meoncross apart from other nurseries. We are so happy that we have decided to keep him there for reception.

Meoncross is a wonderful nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. My son started when he turned 2.5 years old, moving from another nursery, and I've seen such a positive change in him. He loves his days at nursery, and never hesitates to run in at drop-off time - the daily activities, from cooking
to drama classes are brilliant and he's always so proud to show off what he's learnt or made that day. All of the staff have really got to know him, and they're amazing at supporting him (with great communication too). I really have nothing but positives to say!

Both of my children have attended Meoncross Nursery and I highly recommend this to everyone I speak to. It has a calm and loving vibe which rubs off on the children who attend. The teachers care for the children in a personal and compassionate way and the addition of parents evenings allows you to discuss
your child in detail. The uniform is beautiful and helps the children feel connected to the school. The updates parents receive via the app are detailed and show the depth of learning the children receive eg in French, Ballet or cooking lessons. As a private nursery, it is more expensive than others but something that we believe is worth every penny. The children finish their day clean, well-fed, happy and loved. We couldn’t ask for more in a nursery and are so grateful to the nursery and staff for all their exemplary care and teaching. It enabled our first child to slot into mainstream school beautifully. Five star!

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with this nursery. For me personally, the nursery's success is mainly highlighted by the fact that my daughter willingly goes there after a successful settling period. Her excellent experience extends beyond just getting through the day; she is genuinely
educated and guided. This speaks volumes about the positive and engaging environment provided by the nursery.
The educational approach is on point, offering a rich blend of activities, messy play, and stimulation. The inclusion of extra classes in ballet, dancing, and French adds a wonderful dimension. The staff's dedication and motivation to stimulate and educate children go above and beyond, creating an amazing balance between free play, educational moments, and outdoor activities. Highly recommend this exceptional nursery!

My son has been attending the nursery for almost a year now and he loves it.
I am so impressed with the variety of things they do with the children every day.
Whenever something is uploaded on the app I am always impressed to see the creativity of what they get the children to do and the children
all seem very happy doing it.
My son comes out smiling every day after nursery and can’t wait to go back again the next day.
All the teachers are always so welcoming and friendly and you always get a warm feeling when at the nursery.
It has had a huge positive impact on my son and he has grown so much in his abilities and confidence since starting.
It is preparing him so well for when he starts school in September. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone!

She is the happiest little girl and that makes both mine and my wife's heart full of joy.
The activities they partake in are first class and the app is an

We moved our son from an alternative nursery when he was eligible at 2 and half years old.


It was one of the best decisions we have made for his learning and social development.


All of his teachers and care workers have taken the time to get to know him and settle him in, and we really like

all the activities planned in advance, that he undertakes in a nursery day.


We also like the time dedicated to outside learning activities and school trips, which he will be eligible for as he gets a little bit older.

My son has just finished his first term at Meoncross and it has been a wonderful experience. The nurturing approach of the nursery team supported him to settle with ease. Their child-led approach to play and learning has meant my son interests have been celebrated and woven in to his nursery day. He
thoroughly enjoys the extra specialist classes (singing and music) and we have enjoyed the songs at home too!


The EYFS lead and my son’s key worker are very approachable, kind and friendly as well as being happy to help and my son has developed a lovely attachment to his key worker and other members of staff.


We are very happy that we choose Meoncross and look forward to hearing about all of the adventures to come.

Meoncross go above and beyond expectations and put the child at the centre of everything they do.


My daughter is taught not just academic skills (although she is taught these well too) but also personal/social skills which will stand her in good stead as she progresses.


The staff and school,

in general, are approachable and nurturing and they ensure no child is left out of any activity. The activities themselves are varied and there is a good balance of inside and outside play.


My daughter particularly enjoys the specialist provision they have in the form of French and singing lessons. These are very reasonably priced in addition to the free hours.


Finally, the number of school trips and extracurricular activities has been fantastic.

Meoncross School has been a wonderful environment for my son. Joining at age 3 when we moved to the area, the staff helped him settle in seamlessly. He has never looked back. He has progressed so well and is just simply happy at the school. The staff are kind and caring; the communication is very good.
The activities are hugely varied, lots of outdoor play and beach school in the summer is wonderful. The facilities are also excellent.
In summary, we could not be happier with Meoncross and look forward to seeing him grow into Reception.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.987)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10 for Meoncross School 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.987 for Meoncross School is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.987

  • 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 Meoncross School is based on 13 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 13 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.
