Since my daughter started at Heath Mill, her confidence has grown so much. She loves to go every week and loves to tell us what she has done every day at nursery. The staff are so helpful, and nothing is too much for them. Would highly recommend it!

The nursery is very good. However, lacks in communication from time to time between staff members. Overall good. Friendly team. I feel my child is looked after well, however, could reassure them when gets emotional a little more. Food is good but a little expensive, especially when comes to a full day,
as my child doesn't eat £13 worth of food. The fees are quite excessive, but the care is very good.

My daughter loves attending nursery. The team create a warm, welcoming environment where she seems to thrive. The staff clearly care about the children and enjoy what they do. Special mention to one lady who can never do enough for you and always has a smile on her face. Also, the lady who is my daughter's
new key worker has helped her settle into her new room.

My child started at Sandhills Heath Mill in March 2023, and I couldn't be happier with her transition, and this is mainly down to the wonderful people and environment there! Her keyworker made me feel immediately at ease on our settling-in days and was so warm and loving towards my little girl; I knew
that she would be ok! The deputy manager has also been an incredible support and always checked in to see if I was ok through my transition back to work (which is also so important to have!).
The staff have also been very supportive of our use of cloth nappies, which I was very worried about as not many people use them. The food menu is also very varied; I love checking my app to see what has been offered (and mostly eaten!). My little girl has really thrived there the past few months, and I am just so thankful we chose Heath Mill!

We received the warmest welcome we could have hoped for at the nursery! The staff took an individualised approach with my daughter, and she's thrilled with her experience. In just two short weeks, she's already settled in and eagerly looks forward to each day at the nursery.

My little boy has been there since early January now, and absolutely loves it there! All the staff are so welcoming, friendly, and communicative with you. Right from the get-go, he enjoyed being at the nursery and bonded really well with the other children and staff members and is always telling me
about his days there. His communication has really improved, as well as his moods as he really looks forward to going, and wouldn't be anywhere without me beforehand. I'm so glad that he has settled in well and it is obvious that his confidence has improved when socialising with others, as well as his temperament with other children too. There is a parent app where you can see what your child has eaten, how much they've eaten, and nappy changes and the staff upload a photo of your child whilst doing an activity which is really lovely to see on your updates! Everything about the nursery is so lovely, definitely a good choice for your little ones! There is nothing less than good to be said.

I have left writing a review for a while as I wanted to see how my daughter had settled in. After a rocky start at a previous nursery, having witnessed things that didn't put me at ease with my then 7-month-old, I was a little apprehensive. However, even the first impressions on my initial viewing of
this nursery (Heath Mill), I could see the difference in not only the environment but also the practitioners. (Something I wasn't initially privileged to at the previous nursery due to Covid.) My daughter's keyworker has been absolutely brilliant, as are the other staff who work by her side. My daughter is now 13 months and has really settled in with ease. I feel comfortable knowing my daughter is in the best care at the moment. All staff are very friendly and welcoming, and you can see they really care about the babies and children. I would fully recommend the Sandhills Heath Mill.

My first son went to Sandhills Heath Mill, so I knew exactly where I wanted to send my second child when I was ready to go back to work. This nursery hasn’t let me down; they have earned my full trust. They keep me updated throughout the day, and the menu for the little ones is amazing. I see how much
the staff really care about the children. They listen to the parent, and nothing is too much trouble for them. There is nothing I could ask them to improve on because everything is five stars. Thank you, ladies, for everything.

My son has been attending nursery since February 21, and the progress he has made here has been phenomenal.
He is SEN and therefore has additional needs, and his key workers and nursery managers go above and beyond to make sure his needs are met and have even assisted me in getting him funding for
1-1. His confidence, speech, understanding and social skills have all improved vastly since being here. His key workers really communicate with me daily about his progress, and I can go to work happy he is being taken care of by people who really understand and care about him.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

I was absolutely petrified about leaving my daughter at a nursery, and the staff at Sandhills have completely put me at ease. They have cared for my daughter perfectly, and I feel safe in the knowledge that she is happy and safe when she is there. I honestly have no negative comments to make and would
highly recommend them.

My son joined the nursery in January. At first, he was a little apprehensive as he hadn’t been anywhere before, but the staff in Mr Messy’s room were so friendly, and every pick-up, he would tell me he had a lovely day and chat away about all the things he had done. The girls really were lovely, and
I will be sad when he leaves this week. I would definitely recommend Sandhills Heath Mill to anyone looking for a nursery setting for their child with confidence. They provide a professional, friendly, caring and safe environment for your child.

My daughter has been going to the nursery some months now. She is happy and contented there. She gets attention from the staff when needed, and I am always updated on her activities and how she has been throughout the day.
There is constant communication between staff and parents, and the children's
well being is important to them.
The staff encourage physical and emotional development. This is reinforced with homework activities.
I am very pleased at how well my daughter is developing.

We are so very grateful for all that the new manager and her deputy and all the other staff have done for our son during what was a very difficult time for our family. We settled him in just before the first Covid lockdown and then had to hand him over at the door when they reopened (due to Covid rules),
which I found really anxiety-provoking. We weren’t too keen on their previous manager, but the new manager has worked very hard to make some important changes that I feel have really improved the care of children. Communication from management is prompt and always helpful, and it is clear that the staff clearly care about and form deep bonds with the children they look after. They cannot seem to do enough for them and for the parents. It is wonderful to have a nursery where you can rest easy knowing your child will be loved and cared for in a nurturing and stimulating environment.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.862)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.862) out of 10 for Sandhills Day Nursery Heath Mill 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.862 for Sandhills Day Nursery Heath Mill is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.862

  • 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 Sandhills Day Nursery Heath Mill is based on 26 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
