Fantastic nursery. Wish my eldest had gone here. Very well structured and organised, endless fun activities. Lots of emphasis on being outside and discovering the world. Lovely dedicated supportive staff. This is an exemplary nursery.

The Hive provides excellent pre-school provision which, is led by teachers, while also providing the hours needed to support working parents. My son has struggled to settle in other settings, but he settled into the Hive very quickly. It is a spacious and calm environment, where the staff really care
about the children and take the time to organise lots of fun activities and days out. I remember in his first week he went into Clifton, visited the library and got a hot chocolate from a cafe, he felt so grown up!


He also learnt a lot of phonics and numeracy skills, which really set him up for reception. The support we had during lockdown was really useful too, with the teachers providing support by phone tailored to each child, which really helped us during this period. I would highly recommend it for all children, and especially those who struggle to settle into noisy or busy environments.

We had a wonderful experience at The Hive! Our daughter settled in very well, she loved this pre-school. The teachers and the staff are very amazing, passionate and caring. With amazing resources and setup, the children can explore different playing areas (inside and outside). Excellent preparation
for reception class, with almost daily phonic lessons through games.

Our son originally attended a popular workplace nursery outside the city. We moved him into The Hive part-time, and then full-time, so he could make friends ready to attend the main school. We had been happy with his previous nursery, but The Hive was an obvious improvement in many ways. The facilities,
the care, the learning and the staff were all first class. We would recommend The Hive to the parents of any child. In particular, our son had such a fantastic and successful start to his reception year, thanks to the excellent preparation in The Hive, that we cannot recommend it highly enough for any parent thinking of sending their child to the main school. Well done to the whole team at The Hive, and thank you.

The Hive - Nursery Pre-School has been exceptional for both my children. It has provided fantastic support for my daughter who is old for her year and my son who is very young. The staff really get to know your child and nurture their interests with careful knowledge of their individual needs and abilities.
I always feel so grateful for the exceptional care they provide for my children. It's a truly wonderful place.

The end to end experience of visiting The Hive - Nursery Pre-School, meeting the teachers, understanding the settings and services provided to settling our daughter into her first day was amazing! The whole service and experience exceeded our expectations and really put our minds at ease in sending
our girls there! They love/loved it! Amazing!

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.217)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.217) out of 10 for The Hive - Nursery Pre-School, Clifton High School 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for The Hive - Nursery Pre-School, Clifton High School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.217 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hive - Nursery Pre-School, Clifton High School is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 23 number of registered child places is 4.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.6 = 0.217

  • 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.
