The staff at the nursery can’t do enough for you. They really get to know your child and build on their interests. Our child loves coming to nursery and we have noticed how much he has thrived from his time there. The communication link between home and nursery is strong! The nursery has a warm and
welcoming feel, staff have excellent knowledge and understanding, everyone works incredibly hard.

I’d highly recommend Crewe Nature Kindergarten, my little girl attends and she absolutely loves it. As soon as we arrive she can’t wait to get in and get going! The staff are all so lovely and helpful, they are really supportive in helping my little girl meet her next milestones and we have seen her
grow her skills whilst attending the nursery. Upon picking my little girl up the staff relay all information from the day - we love hearing what she’s been up to!

Can't say enough positive things about the nursery. Our experience has been great. I find all the staff to be professional and very caring. My daughter loves going and can't wait to get in the door. The menu looks delicious, my daughter seems to agree as she eats better at nursery than at home! She
is learning a lot and often comes home with a new song or skill to show me. I'm very grateful to have a nursery where I feel confident my daughter is well cared for and happy, thank you

My son has been attending Crewe Nature Kindergarten for one year now and I am so happy that we chose it as his nursery. Since day one, the staff have ensured that he is happy and comfortable attending and he very quickly bonded with them all. He absolutely loves the days he goes to nursery and always
arrives with an excited smile on his face, running straight in and not looking back! It's so reassuring to know he is spending the day with a team of people that he clearly trusts and enjoys his time with. The variety of food across the month is fantastic and ensures that he is receiving really balanced and nutritious meals and snacks across the day. His development is really impressive and we can tell how much of a positive influence his time in nursery is having with things such as his vocabulary, social skills and, of course, his singing!
Thank you to all the staff at Crewe Nature Kindergarten for doing such a wonderful job!

My little boy really struggled to settle into being away from me and my partner but the ladies in the baby room did everything they could to help him feel happy and comfortable. Very happy with the variety of meals and activities. Baby room mixes with Toddler 1 in the summer which really helps when
your baby is ready to move on to the next room.

My experience at this nursery has been nothing but positive, the team are always there to help us as parents as well as provide excellent care for the children. My child has learnt and developed in so many ways from spending time in the baby room, the staff have brought her on incredibly. I would have
no problem in recommending this nursery to any new parent.

We are so glad that our two boys attend Crewe Nature Kindergarten. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, they understand the different personalities and also make sure that dietary requirements are catered for without problem. The variety of food that the boys both receive at nursery is great! My eldest
boy is in preschool and loves doing anything outdoors so the outside space is amazing and I know he loves it! He loves all the wonderful staff who have worked with him throughout his time at CNK and he has made so much progress due to their dedication and provision of different experiences. The ladies go above and beyond all the time. My youngest boy is in baby room and he has settled really well. It has been so reassuring knowing that I was leaving him with lovely ladies who would care for him like their own children. Not only do they care for the children but they also made sure I was ok on return from maternity leave which was such a thoughtful thing to do. A truly wonderful place.

My little boy is currently in the toddler room. He absolutely loves it, he has made lots of new friends and they do loads of activities indoors and outdoors. The app is very good where you can log on and see what your child is up to throughout the day which is very comforting, seeing pictures of them
enjoying themselves. All of the staff are really lovely and welcoming. The variety of food that they are given is amazing too. I would recommend Schoolhouse nursery to other parents.

If I could imagine a nursery that ticks all of my boxes for my daughter's perfect nursery this is the nursery. I was absolutely blown away during my visit to Schoolhouse Nursery after many had failed miserably to reach my expectations. Firstly, I always received such a warm and inviting feeling whenever
I spoke to the nursery, no matter who I spoke to or when I called. This was no different in person. My daughter, who had reacted shy and reserved at other nursery show rounds was full of confidence, engaged with the activities and did not want to leave which in itself told me that this was the right environment for her. The toddler room is spacious, airy and the staff are kind and engaging. Staff washed their hands regularly, wore PPE and sanitised between areas. The activities are different and are tailored to the children’s interests. The preschool looks amazing. The menu is awesome and is tailored to my daughter's allergies. I’m so excited to hear all about her adventures!

When our daughter first started at Schoolhouse in Weston, she was very upset due to not being in the nursery over the lockdown period, and as parents, it was very difficult to see her like that. She has since settled in really well moving from the baby room to the toddler room early due to her development.
The staff are very professional, hardworking and thrive to get the best out of her. Our daughter absolutely loves going to Schoolhouse, and we look forward to seeing her flourish as she grows with the help of all the fantastic staff members.

Since starting at Schoolhouse Nursery, we have had excellent service throughout. The staff are really friendly and organised, the activities are well thought out, fun and educational and the food is fantastic. My little one settled really quickly and loves it there. It has a real homely feel. I’d highly
recommend this nursery, we are lucky to have it on our doorstep!

What a fabulous nursery and such amazing staff! My daughter is in pre-school and absolutes loves her days in nursery. The activities are both educational but retain the sense of fun and adventure which my daughter is thriving from. She loves forest school and the freedom to explore both the environment
and her imagination and so this has been a great addition to her nursery experience. The daily updates and videos posted by the staff are really informative and give a good insight into what the children have been up to. The daily menus offer variety, good quality and healthy produce. I couldn’t fault the nursery or the staff, they’ve done an amazing job transitioning from the old nursery providers which can’t have been an easy task. I would wholly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their little ones.

Being a first-time Mum, and sending a 9-month-old to nursery following a very strange year (covid), was very daunting. I went to an open day and straight away got the best feeling about The School House. My little girl has been attending since the opening and has settled in very well. The staff are
caring and attentive and will always make contact straight away if needed. My daughter is always happy when she comes home and enjoys lots of activities throughout the day as well as the balanced home-cooked meals which I am always told she has second helpings of. This is a wonderful nursery.

I looked at so many nurseries and never wanted to leave my little girl in any of them until I looked at School House Nursery.
I got the this is the one feeling the minute I walked into the baby room and met the staff.
I would like to thank School House nursery for putting so much thought and effort
into helping my daughter settle in and have fun and for helping me relax about leaving her.
The key worker is just amazing and from what I've seen on Tapestry, my daughter really enjoys spending time with her.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Lindsey. We really do pride ourselves on families being happy and receiving individual care and attention.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.914)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.914) out of 10 for Crewe Nature Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.914 for Crewe Nature Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (318 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.914

  • 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 Crewe Nature Kindergarten is based on 29 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 29 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2013

Level 5 in Early Years Practice
I began my career at our sister nursery Corner House Audley Road in 2013 as a Relief Supervisor. I quickly progressed to Baby Room Supervisor and then Assistant Manager before my current role as Manager here at Crewe. I am very passionate about the early years and how important this phase is in a child’s life. Seeing first-hand the positive impact we have when we work closely with parents is such a rewarding aspect of my role. Sharing lots of lovely interactions with children and supporting and mentoring my team will be priorities for me and I will keep the children at the centre of everything we do.
