My girls have settled so well at the nursery. All the staff are caring and friendly. I genuinely feel like I trust the staff and my girls speak so highly of the staff when they are home. It’s a really lovely personal environment, I would highly recommend and wouldn’t go to another nursery.

The staff at the nursery are fantastic with my little one. He skips in to see them and always has big hugs for his key worker and as a parent, this makes bringing him to nursery something I look forward to. I know he loves every minute there and the setting is amazing. Since being at nursery he has
started to pick up so many good habits such as eating at the table. The staff are always happy (don’t know how they do it). They always ask how he has been and if there is anything they need to be aware of and always give a thorough debrief at the end of each day. Where learning opportunities arise, they deal with unwanted behaviour in a constructive way that really sinks in with my little one. I feel so lucky to have found such a special nursery for my little one to grow in.

Staff is very caring and friendly. The children have different activities every day and they love to go to nursery. The management team is very approachable. One of the best things is that the staff doesn't change all the time (I had that experience in a different nursery). The children are able to
see the same familiar faces, which is so important at a young age. The nursery is very organised. The parents can see photos of the daily activities via an app which is really good. The food offered to the children is healthy and is nutritionally balanced, with a wide range of dishes. Very happy with La Maternelle!

My son loves going to nursery and we can’t fault it. The staff are fantastic, it is well structured and there are lots of activities set out. The staff are also very good at keeping you posted throughout the day on eyLog as to what they are doing. Highly recommended.

Great nursery, my son loves it, the staff are amazing and caring, and I love that I can see how he is doing through the EyLog when he is there. It’s a great peace of mind that settles my mind when you're worried how he’s doing. Would completely recommend this nursery.

When our nursery changed hands right after lockdown, we were anxious about the impact so much upheaval would have on our 1-year-old son. We shouldn't have worried. He has such a great bond with his key workers, is developing so well, and learning so much, and is excited to get to nursery every morning.
He shouts "Hat, bag, shoes" from the minute he gets dressed!

A great nursery. My child has no trouble going off with the staff, there aren’t any tears and he always is very excited when we pull up in the car. I’m informed throughout the day of his activities and his eating routine. It’s a lovely nursery with just as lovely staff.

I have been very happy with the care my daughter has received from La Maternelle Nantwich since they took over fromElmscot earlier this year. She has come on leaps and bounds with speech, confidence and eating by herself. She is always happy to go and marches straight through the front door without
so much as a "Goodbye Mummy". Although there has been a lot of staff changes all of the girls I have met seem lovely and always make a big fuss of my daughter.

La Maternelle is a very welcoming family orientated nursery. My son started a few weeks before lockdown and had already settled really well in the Sunshine Room. After lockdown the nursery was very accommodating in allowing my son to have settling in sessions and sending me and my wife many pictures
to show us how happy and settled he was. Every day we receive many lovely photos and updates to tell us exactly what he has been doing. All of the staff have been very welcoming and kind. My son has such a strong relationship with his key person and previous key person, he is always happy to go to them in the morning. The staff have helped my son through transitions well, with moving rooms and sleep changes they have always been very supportive. My son also loves the food, he eats more at nursery than he does at home. The menu offers a wide variety of meals and they must be delicious or he wouldn’t eat it!

The transition of ownership from Elmscott to La Maternelle was not stressful for our son even during covid times.
His development has progressed quickly and he is excited to go to nursery each day.
The regular feedback throughout the day via the app is also great.

We have been really impressed with the Nursery since they took ownership of the Nantwich setting, especially considering the additional challenges regarding reintegration after a period of being absent due to Covid lockdown.
Daily activities are engaging and focus on development, meals are balanced
and the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure our little boy feels happy and settled in the pre-school environment. He loves his key staff, and now really enjoys attending each day! He also really enjoys playing in the newly designed outdoor space!
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication!

I am extremely happy with the care that my daughter receives at La Maternelle, Nantwich. It is so heartwarming to see the smile on her face as she greets her Keyworker each morning.
Despite, a break from nursery due to the pandemic, my daughter has quickly settled back into routine and this is down
to the caring nature and hardworking staff.
My daughter often talks with enthusiasm about staff members, friends, and the activities that she has experienced each day and I look forward to receiving the frequent updates and photographs sent to me throughout the day. Along with a comprehensive handover regarding her eating/sleeping patterns and learning journey.
Choosing a nursery is such a difficult decision but I would not hesitate in recommending La Maternelle.
Thank you to all the staff who look after my daughter and have helped her blossom into the little star she is today!

Elmscot is a great nursery setting that I would strongly recommend to friends and family. The staff are really friendly. Since my son has started nursery he has gained confidence when interacting with other children. I think this is largely down to the encouragement with staff and key workers and the
friendly atmosphere throughout.

Everyone at Elmscot is so friendly, loving and helpful.
They are very hands-on, he comes home every night asking to go back every night - and asking to go stay with certain staff.
They have helped him learn and develop so much since he started two years ago.
Staff are helpful if you have any
questions, and was very helpful during increasing/decreasing his days as needed.
My son is given so much attention, they listen, play and take time to understand him; as he struggles with his sentences still. The staff are always smiling, and the setting is always clean, uncluttered, in a safe location and providing delicious meals.
We commute every morning, even when I work in my hometown; just to ensure he goes to the best standard nursery around.

My daughter loves going to nursery and is thriving. They are a wonderful, approachable staff who care about every single child’s development, and treat every child as an individual. Nursery provides training for parents on all different topics. A very warm atmosphere when entering the building. Very
nutritious home cooked food.

Since my daughter has been attending Elmscot it’s helped her leaps and bounds with her walking, speech and general development. I can’t be more grateful to all the hard working staff at the nursery you're a credit to what you do day in and day out and my daughter adores you all. Many thanks!

I found the nursery very clean and tidy! Staff are very welcoming, friendly and approachable they made me feel at ease when leaving my little boy for the first time. They know all children individually and plan activities for them that encourage their development. Staff offer useful advice e.g potty
training, eating and sleeping and put on great workshops for parents to attend. The thing that really impressed me was how well they safeguard the children when someone new collects and love the secure fingerprint system.

The staff here are truly amazing and always go above and beyond to satisfy the children’s needs. They have a personal relationship with each child and make my son feel very welcomed each and every day he attends. My son absolutely adores going to pre school and can not wait to get there in the morning,
he comes home with so many stories to tell about what he’s been up to during the day. I really can not recommend this nursery enough, my son has been attending two days a week since he was 11 months old and there has not been a day when I haven’t dropped him off knowing he’s safe, well-nourished and entertained for the entire day. I truly trust the staff at the nursery and I will be sad when he leaves for big school.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for La Maternelle Family Childcare - Nantwich 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.983 for La Maternelle Family Childcare - Nantwich is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 4.806 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for La Maternelle Family Childcare - Nantwich is based on 15 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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.806

  • 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.
