We’re so happy that we chose Ashbourne Day Nurseries. The key workers are amazing and I really do feel like my child is in safe hands. She enjoys nursery and has bonded so well with the key workers too.

My daughter attends the Bricket Wood setting and it is absolutely fabulous. It is small and cosy and the staff are super friendly, professional and amazing with the children. My daughter's key worker is so supportive and has really helped to develop her to prepare her for school in September. She can't
wait to get there in the morning and is so excited to tell me about her day when we pick her up. My son who is now 6 years old also attended there and he loved it too. I highly recommend this nursery. Thanks to the Deputy Manager and the team especially for taking such great care of my daughter during this pandemic.

I would highly recommend Ashbourne Nursery! Our daughter has learnt to love nursery and I’d like to personally thank the Deputy Manager and Room Leader of the baby room and the support staff. They both have helped our daughter to settle, grow and adapt. They do a great job and we really appreciate everything
they do. Thank you very much, ladies!

I’ve had nothing but a pleasant experience at Ashbourne and my son absolutely loves going. My son is an incredibly fussy eater but since going to Ashbourne he is nowhere near as fussy and will actually eat the same food as me and his dad. His confidence has come on leaps and bounds and I couldn’t be
happier with the staff there.

Our 1-year-old is currently at this nursery and loving it. He smiles when we open the car door when we arrive. The staff are lovely and he is very well cared for by them. He has grown and learnt so much since starting. The staff always do their best to accommodate my additional requests.

My son loved the three years he spent at nursery in Bricket Wood. He settled in well in the relaxed atmosphere there. He bonded well with all the staff and made great friends with the other children. He developed well in the happy and supportive environment and we look forward to his younger brother
starting there soon.

I am very happy with the level of care at Ashbourne Day Nursery in Bricket Wood. In particular, my son's key worker and the recently appointed manager - who was my son's key worker when he first started 3 years ago. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are very understanding of my son's dairy
intolerance. Everyone who works there though is extremely friendly and caring and it's very reassuring leaving my son in such good hands. He will really miss everyone when he leaves for big school.

My son has been at Ashbourne Day Nursery for 3 years. In this time, every member of staff that he has had has been very friendly, kind and great at communicating. The nursery is a fun, safe place, where the children are encouraged to play freely, develop with support and get to participate in extra
external football and music groups. I have and will continue to recommend Tots to other parents.

The staff at the nursery did a wonderful job of settling in my son. They were open to my concerns and worked with me which gave me great peace of mind. Now my son is happily settled and it’s an absolute pleasure to see him with them.
The online feedback system used by the nursery is very informative
and encouraging. It’s lovely to see how your child progresses through their milestones. The knowledge of the staff on the children’s development is exceptional.
The different activities available keeps my son stimulated and I’m looking forward to when he starts full time with them.

I love the atmosphere of the nursery, all the staff are kind and happy and so are the children. I love the outside playground and that they explore the local area. It's in a nice location with plenty of space. My son has attended for 18 months now and it's wonderful how at home he is there. I often
find him having a cuddle and a giggle with one of the nursery team.

My Daughter has been attending this nursery for around 7 months, and I cannot fault them, they are loving friendly and nurturing, my daughter is an extremely fussy eater and they have been working hard with her and I'm amazed how well they have done, she now eats most foods at the nursery including
a little veg which is a huge improvement. She has come on so much since she has been here, and every day enjoys telling me what she has been up to. I would highly recommend this nursery!

My son has been at the nursery just over a year now. He went to a previous nursery and wasn't happy at all. The staff made the transition very easy. They have been so welcoming, friendly and have helped him progress over the last year and I couldn't be happier with them there. I would highly recommend
them to friends and family and wouldn't ever think of moving him now.

Both my children have attended Ashbourne Day Nurseries in Bricket Wood and I'm so happy with the level of care they have received. The nurturing environment and small classes allowed by children to flourish, learn and grow whilst always maintaining a focus on learning through play. The staff are always
so wonderful and truly care for the children.

My daughter has been attending Ashbourne day nursery in Bricket Wood for the last 6 months and is very happy there. The staff are extremely friendly and caring and helped my daughter settle in quickly. Communication between myself and the nursery is clear and they are extremely helpful and accommodating
when I need to add extra sessions. My daughter is well looked after and I have no concerns.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.302)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.302) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Bricket Wood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 4.792 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Bricket Wood is calculated as follows: ( (19 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.792

  • 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 3.51 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Bricket Wood is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.385

  • 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.
