This nursery is absolutely outstanding! My son came from quite a ‘chaotic’ nursery before we found this one and I believe he had learnt some bad habits from there. I was worried about moving him as he hates change but he settled so fast and fell in love with the nursery just as quickly as we did. The
staff are absolutely wonderful all so friendly and professional - you can tell they genuinely adore the children and want them to learn and develop just as much as you do.


They have helped him so much with his sharing and he comes out saying words I’ve never heard him say before. He runs in without looking back and always eats such delicious healthy food there too. It’s a very relaxed, calm, professional environment.


I am so grateful we found this nursery and I know he is too. I could go on forever about how much we love it.


Thank you!

A great team that really care and have a healthy bond with the kids. There's always a friendly welcome in the morning and a chat in the evening to provide a progress report and help with ideas we could use at home. It also provides a great ratio of kids per adult, which ensures our son gets the attention
he seeks.


Our son soon climatised to the nursery and despite being a bit of a clinger to us, he grew confidence around the team which in turn has given us confidence to not worry about him. The team have helped our son from 1 year onwards and have been a great support in his development. As well as a great insight of knowledge to help us as naive parents.


In the near future, we hope to be sending child number two there.

We've been with them for over two years and The Red Brick Day Nursery has been amazing all around. The staff are great, really dedicated to providing the best service to the parents. The key for us has been the treatment of the kids, it's obvious the team cares a lot and pours their hearts into it.
Every day, every time.

Our son has been at the nursery since he was 7 months. Soon he’s going to school and honestly, the girls have been absolutely amazing! The care, the love and flexibility they have provided not only to our boy but our family has been an absolute lifesaver. Regardless of what I say or write won’t even
come close to how amazing everyone is. We are forever thankful for everything!

When, together with my husband, we decided to find a nursery for our son there was good research ongoing. From the day our son opened The Red Brick Day Nursery's door, his life changed. In the first place, he met such a lovely, dedicated, friendly and supportive team. From day to day, he developed wonderfully,
all his needs were being met. From the bottom of my heart, I can strongly recommend The Red Brick Nursery as a place where your child will be well looked after with passion and care by the wonderful team who works there.

Our son has been at the nursery for two years, all the staff are welcoming and show much compassion for him and us as parents. Our son can’t stop talking about all the fun activities he does from drawing, painting and sports on a Thursday to reading books.
The staff who look after him treat him like
he is their own and it makes us as parents very happy knowing they will show him this when he is there.
When our son first joined the nursery the staff used a book to write in and cover every detail you would want to know informing us of how his day went.
The staff update us via the app, email, telephone or in person if anything comes up. We get regular updates on how our son is getting on.
Overall the nursery provides an amazing setting for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to learn and develop and we are so glad we chose the nursery.
We can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

My son has attended The Red Brick Day Nursery for about a year and a half now. the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure he is settled in. He is always a bit teary going in of a morning but is met with nothing but smiles and hugs to encourage him to settle. He is always happy on pick-up and
has a great day completing a wide range of activities. I would recommend this lovely setting to anyone.

The Red Brick Day Nursery has been absolutely fantastic since my son started there a couple of years ago and every time I visit I am impressed with the staff, their passion for what they do and the information they give you when you collect your child. My son loves it there and I have seen his development
come on so quickly due to the varied activities they put on. Every day seems to be different and packed full of fun and learning. I thoroughly recommend this centre to any parents looking for a first class nursery. Thank you

My toddler absolutely loves her time at The Red Brick Day Nursery, it really is a home-from-home. All of the staff are so personable and it is so lovely to see how happy my little girl is to see them when she arrives at nursery.
I never used a nursery with my older two children so this was a big step
for me, however, I couldn't have asked for a better environment for my little girl to learn and grow in.

My daughter has been going here for the last year and we have had such a wonderful experience. She absolutely loves the staff and the nursery activities that they provide, especially PE.
We honestly couldn't be happier with the nursery experience we have had. It's very daunting finding a place you
can trust with your children but The Red Brick Day Nursery really does help you through the whole process and I would honestly use them again. I will be very sad when our time comes to say goodbye to the team due to the wonderful relationships we have built.

I am massively supportive of the ethos and vision of The Red Brick Day Nursery. They have supported my son with special needs when the institutions/facilities would not. They have catered for all my children's needs of various ages, from primary to secondary school. The practitioners are empathetic,
supportive and sensible. They have my full endorsement.

Our little boy has attended The Red Brick Day Nursery since May 2019 and he leaves next week. His experience has been amazing and we can not fault the staff, any issues have been addressed. The nursery has a caring ethos and throughout our son's time, he has been cared for and nurtured. We feel the
environment is safe and stimulating which has encouraged our son to be curious, explore and learn about the world around him. Outdoor play happens come rain or shine. Thank you Red Brick for all you have done.

My daughter attended this nursery from 9 months until the age of 2. Placing her at The Red Brick Day Nursery was one of the best decisions I have made. With their support, my daughter has developed into a confident and happy little girl. All the staff at Redbrick are amazing and truly care for the children.
They provide a safe, nurturing and positive environment where children can explore and develop their independence. There are great indoor and outdoor facilities at Redbrick as well as a huge variety of scheduled activities throughout the week.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9-months-old. She is now 4. My daughter has a dairy and soya allergy, and they have adapted their menus to suit.
The staff are very friendly and approachable, and my child is extremely happy there.
I believe the staff care very much for the
children.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

This nursery has been amazing to my little girl. I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone I encountered. I’m so sad to be withdrawing my child as they have been so lovely and understanding for the last year. My child has had an amazing experience and made great connections with the staff. After returning
to the nursery after 6 months away due to COVID lockdown they have been so amazing at settling her back in. Thank you to everyone at the Red Brick for being so kind and accommodating.

My son started at Red Brick at 8.5 months old and has now left for school, my daughter still attends the nursery. It has been a brilliant experience in all age groups, the setting has allowed them to learn and explore while feeling happy and safe. They have made friends and adore their teachers. I love
seeing what they get up to and how they are developing on Tapestry. Highly recommend this Nursery.

This nursery has gone above and beyond for my daughter. After having to switch nursery’s I was extremely worried regarding the transition but all the staff members made my daughter feel so welcome and attends to her every need. They are extremely helpful even with home queries they are always eager
to give me tips. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining this home from home environment and I could not fault it in any way. They are constantly upgrading the nursery’s decor to include new activities. I would 1000% recommend.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for The Red Brick Day Nursery - Welford Road 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.950 for The Red Brick Day Nursery - Welford Road is calculated as follows: ( (286 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 The Red Brick Day Nursery - Welford Road is based on 25 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
