  • Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp, Ascot
Village End is open 8am - 5pm all year round and has a spacious, open planned setting with a large garden area.

At the moment the nursery accepts children from 18 months upwards. However, from September 2024 they will be accepting children from 9 months.

The nursery charges by the hour for ad hoc bookings, e.g. if the parents book 11am – 2pm, the payment will be for three hours and not the full day.

Parents who wish to utilise government funding may book sessions Monday to Friday between 8am – 5pm if a permanent full-time place is required.

Fees are very competitive and start at just £6.90. Childcare vouchers are accepted plus government funding can be accessed for all ages.

Parents may provide either a packed lunch or choose freshly cooked Village End meals or a mixture of both.

Village End has also has an app where parents can register, arrange a visit, complete all the necessary legal forms, book a place, amend, extend, cancel or add an extra day.

The app has lots of important information about their crèche, nursery and preschool as well as their teaching methods and childcare ethos.

Instead of registration fees, deposits and lengthy notice periods, Village End believes in allowing parents to make an informed decision by booking a few ad hoc sessions to start with whilst considering their long term options. No rush! No pressure!

To 'Arrange a Visit' please visit the nursery's website.

My son absolutely loves Village End! He has attended on an ad hoc basis for the last 6 months and he is always so excited to tell me what he has been up to in the car after collecting him. All the staff are absolutely amazing and always keep me up to date with his learning progress through Tapestry.
The food is all cooked fresh on site and he is always trying new things. I would highly recommend Village End to other parents, especially the ones who just need a few hours here and there and need to alter their days from time to time.

Reply from Robert Fielder at Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp

Thank you for your feedback, Helen. For parents like you, Village End is ideal as you have been able to book a place at the very last minute. We always keep a few Ad Hoc places open each day for parents who need total flexibility. Regarding fresh produce cooked on site, all the staff love cooking and all take turns trying new menus for the children to try out. I believe your son now loves broccoli? What a big difference to when he first started!

Village End was an amazing nursery for my daughter, who attended for 2 years. The staff are great and very good at communication - always very friendly and helpful. With our jobs, it is hard to commit to regular hours, so it was great to find a nursery that is super flexible and you can even make changes
on the day! The kids were always happy and my daughter made so many friends. She absolutely loved all the staff, and they were obviously so kind and caring towards her - it was lovely. Our daughter left 8 months ago to start school, and she still asks to return to the nursery. As she is now 5, she returns in school holidays to join in with the Minicamps, which have great activities and things for the kids to do. Overall an excellent nursery with well trained, friendly and knowledgable staff. The managers/owners are excellent and they are fantastic at answering any questions you may have as a parent. Very highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments it was an absolute pleasure caring for your daughter. Communication is key to forming a strong and long-lasting relationship between parents and staff, therefore thank for your comments regarding our communication. Being able to make last-minute changes to bookings is so important for working parents, so I am glad you liked that we are very flexible. We look forward to seeing your daughter again soon at one of our Mini Camps.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) out of 10 for Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp is based on 10 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 10 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.
