At Sandhills Heath Mill, the team have developed a stimulating and exciting environment to help children develop across all areas of learning. With such a welcoming atmosphere and a devoted, passionate team they help children to feel safe, secure and treasured throughout their nursery journey. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

There are four age-specific rooms which allow children to develop at their own pace. Children move from each room over time as they grow their skills, confidence and independence; all the while being supported by the nursery team ensuring each child is happy.

The staff are extremely helpful and really good with the children. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I am a foster carer, and I know any children placed there are well cared for and motivated. They have e always been happy in the environment of the nursery.

My son has been coming here since he was 11-months-old and loves it. He always walks in smiling and comes home happy at the end of the day. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I am very happy with the service we receive and would recommend it to family and friends.

I was worried about my 2 little ones going back to nursery after a year off, they had their settling in sessions over a 2 week period and started on the 3rd week. The first few days they were a little bit clingy, but the staff have been amazing and helped so much. They now go running in after 2 weeks,
with big smiles on their faces and love it. The app that is used for updates is also very good and user friendly. This is a fantastic nursery, with friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend

My little boy (2 1/2 years old) is always excited about going to nursery and eager to get in and start the day. The staff are always lovely and informative. The app is great for updates and pictures of what he’s getting up to throughout the day; it’s always reassuring to see he is happy and entertained
whilst not in my care. Great food choices and accommodating of establishing the same routine we have at home. Always lots of smiles when either my husband or I pick him up. Overall a really caring environment that has had a real impact on his social skills and all-around development!

They always appear happy to see each child and are great at updating you on the progress your child is making. They will offer advice on activities you can complete at home to support their nursery learning.

Amazing nursery with lovely staff. My daughter has come on so much with the help of the practitioners. So much so, she asks to go to nursery on her days off. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

Lovely nursery with fantastic staff! Our children have thrived at Sandhills, having started at 8/9 months old. The care provided has always been excellent and proves we can rest assured they are being well looked after. My little boy is 2.5 now, he has a great relationship with his keyworker, and although
he only attends one day per week, his development and social skills have amazed us.

I cannot fault the staff at Sandhills, they are fantastic, and my daughter loves it there. They do a wide variety of activities with the children, ensure they get adequate rest time and feed them very well indeed. Had a minor disagreement with head office over something, but with the help of the very
proactive nursery manager, this was resolved, and I was able to keep my gaughter at Sandhills. Love the observations throughout the day too, a lovely touch!

My two children love the nursery and especially the staff. I feel that my youngest has come on in leaps and bounds and shocks me every day with what he has learnt. My eldest was a little unsure at first but with the help/cuddles and support from her key worker, she has settled in just nicely. I think
the nursery is brilliant and a lovely environment for the children. Keep up the good work Sandhills.

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.
