My son has been at Heath Mill since September and even though he doesn’t attend all week I have really noticed a difference in his development. The staff are always so helpful and caring not just for my son but for us as parents too. I love receiving updates throughout the day and the staff have always
been really helpful when we’ve asked for updates on specific areas. Everything also looks clean and well maintained and considering there is only a small outside space the team have made the best of what they’ve got and taken on feedback to continue to improve it for the children.

My little boy has been attending for almost a year and loves going to nursery. He will ask if it’s a nursery day each morning. When I collect him he tells me “good day at nursery” and is always smiling. All of the staff are friendly and seem to really care about the children that they are looking after.
The staff pick up on my little boy's interests and use them to try to move his learning on.
When I was looking at nurseries I had reservations about the location of the nursery but this is completely irrelevant as when he is in the nursery I know he is being well looked after and is enjoying himself. Although the outdoor area is small the staff use it as often as possible and do a variety of activities outdoors.

Both my children are happy and contented at Sandhills and we can ask no more. We are happy with their progress and they seem to be learning something new all the time. The eyLog is brilliant and I enjoy getting our updates. The staff are caring and kind and we feel comfortable knowing our children are
safe in their hands while we aren’t there.

Sandhills (Heath Mill) is an amazing nursery for children under two years of age. My son has attended since he was nine months old and loves attending. Staff are extremely well trained and very helpful as well as being very friendly. My son is making good progress academically and has developed good
social skills since attending.

Our son has been at Sandhills Heath Mill since its opening in 2017. In that time, we cannot fault the level of care, attention and professionalism from all of the staff. From his keyworker, in particular, we have received a true investment, tailoring activities to his personal interests and focusing
attention on his development. He loves going every day and has made some wonderful friends and memories in his time there.

Sandhills in a fantastic nursery. He attends Sandhills Heath Mill and I am so happy the girls that work there look after him. This morning 20/6/18 my little boy was a bit upset and one member of staff was fantastic with him. She calmed him down and was so good with him. It made me feel warm and happy
to leave him there and I know he is safe and happy there.
I can't thank Sandhills enough for all they have done with my little man.
Thank you so much, all of you.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. Cannot fault it in any way. They 100% give my child what he needs, preparing him for school. My child has a development and growth delay, they set him targets and encourage him every day. The eylog is brilliant and keeps parents up to date with what he's up to. His speech
and confidence has improved immensely.

My son has been coming to Sandhills in Wombourne Mill Lane since they took over the previous company last year. My son has enjoyed nursery so much more since attending Sandhills. He is so excited to get up and go and see his friends and care workers. He enjoys learning and playing and comes home telling
me everything he has learnt.
Sandhills keep my updated regularly and we enjoy seeing our e-notifications of my son’s activities and progression.

My daughter attended Heath Mill for 3 months. During that time, the care and attention given to her ensured that she developed both her language skills and her confidence levels. The staff were all attentive to the children within their care from the early morning drop off until the late pickup. The
nursery staff were always willing to accommodate any requests from us and I felt as though my daughter was being looked after by my extended family rather than strangers from her first day. We were deeply saddened to leave just when we had got used to staff and routines. I could not have asked for a better setting for my daughter.

My daughter loves all the activities

that the staff set and it has really helped with my daughter's development.


I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sandhills Day Nursery to anyone who was looking for a brilliant nursery.

The owners, the manager and her team have moved mountains to ensure their care is of an excellent standard. The building works completed recently and extremely quickly, not only have significantly improved the previous provision (different business) but it brings with it a sense of professionalism and
thoughtfulness.
The new owners and the manager have the children at the heart of their decisions and as a result, have created a lovely atmosphere where I am confident my son will grow and develop. The manager is excellent, she is extremely caring, positive and a great manager, her knowledge and professionalism is fantastic. My son has not been well recently and the nursery have been excellent in ensuring he receives the prescribed medication he needs. He will be at Sandhills for a few years and without question we know he will receive the very best care. We cannot wait for him to be with the teachers in Mr Mischiefs and in Mr Bumps, both are staff who have ensured he has settled well. Thank you.

Sandhills provides a warm and welcoming environment for both parents and children. We have been extremely impressed with all aspects of the transition since they have taken over the nursery. Our daughter loves coming to nursery and we feel comfortable leaving her with staff that know our child 100%.
The adaptations to the building have been a very positive change, making it more safe and secure but also ensuring the children’s ages and stages are well planned for. We love keeping up to date with what our daughter has been up to at nursery through conversations with staff but also through the EY parent log. It great getting updates for observations through the app and also being able to add pictures and videos of things that she has been up to at home. Well done 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.
