This is an excellent nursery, and the staff go above and beyond to ensure that the best care is always delivered. My daughter loves attending the nursery and regards the nursery staff as family. I have every confidence in the nursery staff and know that my daughter is cared for to the highest possible
level. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to other parents. My daughter is exceedingly happy here, which means that I’m happy!

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you very much, Cadi! Your daughter gives us all so much joy.

I really can’t gush about Nestlings Eco Nursery enough. Leaving a child in care of someone is hard but in the middle of a pandemic, they have been wonderful throughout. My daughter started there at ten months and now takes her bag to door in the morning to go. Communication, ethos, safety measures,
variety of activity, one to one care, knowing each wonderful staff member, a bilingual and multicultural environment, organic, sustainable and lots of fun! It’s been a catalyst for her development, an only child in lockdown but she has the best social life and skills from there. Other parents are equally as supportive and friendly. Feels like a family. I hear about niggles from friends using other places such as lack of flexibility, bringing nappies and sun cream, restrictive rules for babies and awful communication, I can’t believe how lucky we are. I can’t fault it.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you very much Lisa. We hope you know how much we all (staff and children) just adore your gorgeous girl and how lucky we are to have you all as part of our Nest family.

I cannot recommend Nestling Eco Nursery enough. As a mother, the most important thing for me is to know my child is very well attended, happy and cared for. I absolutely love the staff approach and the quality of education the nursery offers. The food at Nestlings Eco Nursery is amazing, the staff is
super loving and responsive and the management impeccable. We always get daily updates and pictures of our kids and their activities and this is very important for me as a parent.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so lucky to have your funny little beautiful girl with us, who makes all of our days better and worth the work.

Such an incredible nursery. Even though we have moved thirty minutes out of Cardiff, I still bring my daughter here because there really is no other nursery like it. The director and the team are such caring, kind and considerate people. The love they have for their work and the children are undeniable
which is why I know my daughter is extremely safe and happy here. Overall, I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

This is so nice to hear and we are really grateful to be a part of your lovely daughter’s early years - she brings so much joy and happiness to all of our days at the Nest. Thank you.

My little boy is mine and my wife's entire world and we find it hard to trust anyone with his care. On meeting the director and her team at the latter end of 2019, we straight away fell in love with not only the setting but the skills, love and understanding evidently displayed during his settling in
sessions and had no qualms about them looking after our son. Over a year later, he is confident, outgoing, cheeky and playful and whilst my wife and I would like to take all the credit, Nestlings Eco Nursery have been instrumental in guiding him to the character he is today. I have recommended them to a work colleague, who is getting in touch about a placement, that is how highly we recommend Nestlings Eco Nursery.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you so much, your words are really appreciated and we just adore being a part of your little one’s development so much! Thank you for always being so supportive. We are so lucky to have you guys as part of our Nest family.

Nestlings Eco Nursery have provided excellent care for my daughter who joined in January at one years old. The staff are very responsive, caring and supported my daughter to settle in extremely well. She loves going to nursery and always comes home happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other parents
looking for a nursery for their children.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you for this lovely review, it really is our pleasure having your gorgeous girl with us at the Nest.

Our third daughter joined Nestlings Eco Nursery when she was one and she is now almost three. She loves it and we love it! We had recently moved to Cardiff and wanted to find somewhere where my daughter could thrive, be in nature, be loved and happy. She enjoys the organic food, outdoor play, wonderful
kind staff, natural toys and the adventures she is taken on daily. Whether playing with her buddies in the bell tent, going for a walk or having super long naps! Her older sisters join her for the excellent holiday club.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Your gorgeous girls are such a big part of our Nest family and will hopefully be for a long time to come. We have so much fun with them and have created so many amazing memories already. Thank you for your lovely review.

My son started at Nestlings Eco Nursery when he was very young then took a break when I became unemployed due to Covid-19. He started back up in January but due to the break and little contact with anyone, he had become very weary of people. All of the staff there have been very patient and understanding
when he becomes upset at drop offs. I would absolutely recommend the nursery to others and wouldn’t consider sending my son anywhere else.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you for your lovely words and for choosing us to put your trust in. We missed your little one so much during his time away and are all so happy to have him back with The Nest family.

We love Nestlings Eco Nursery, our son is so happy there we have never had any tears dropping him off and the other day we heard his friends shouting excitedly that he'd arrived. The children all look like they have enormous fun together. I love the photos they put up online for us to see, sometimes
we have some sent to our family group chat too and it's a real pick up while at work to know he's having a good time. The food sounds incredible, its so varied, we're jealous! Our sons speech has come on so well recently and we're sure its because he gets so much interaction from the staff and other children and he's even picking up some top dance moves! We live in a flat so we're grateful for their beautiful outdoor space. Would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you Hollie, although we see you often, it's really lovely to hear how you feel about our Nest and I hope you know how much we all adore your gorgeous son!

They went to great lengths to help our little one settle in and she loves it now. They’re always doing different activities and I really like how much time the children spend outdoors. If anything she has too much fun at nursery!

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

No such thing as too much fun! Your gorgeous little daughter also provides a lot of fun for us too. Thank you for your kind review.

I would and have recommended Nestlings Eco Nursery to my friends. My grandson has been at the nursery since he was about six months old and he has come on leaps and bounds since he's been there. The staff are so kind, helpful and knowledgeable in looking after and educating the children. He looks forward
to going to nursery, I only wish I could go with him, he has so much fun and the meals they provide are wonderful. Thank you for taking so much care of him and the other children.

Reply from Misty Ardouin, Nursery Director at Nestlings Eco Nursery

Thank you for your lovely words. We hope once Covid has passed, we can invite you into The Nest to have a play date and a picnic!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Nestlings Eco Nursery 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.794 for Nestlings Eco Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.794

  • 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 Nestlings Eco Nursery is based on 17 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
