Finding a nursery that fits is a hard and daunting task for most parents. Personally took me well over a year to find a nursery, that I felt genuinely comfortable enough to enrol my children into but with Norfolk House, after my first visit, I instantly sighed a sign of relief. My children have been
enrolled for several months now and they have developed both socially and educationally. The staff are all amazing and the service they provide is outstanding. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter has attended Norfolk House since June and has blossomed under their care. The staff are exceptional - the team in Babies 2 room ensured my daughter settled in well, quickly finding out her interests to help her feel happy and secure. My daughter was also slowly transitioned to Toddlers room
over a number of weeks which, again, really helped her to settle into the new area with confidence. The food options are well balanced; the activities and resources are varied and stimulating, communication is prompt and feedback from parents is actively encouraged. The management team really seem to value and take pride in all staff members - I love this! My daughter runs into nursery smiling every day without looking back - this is down to the wonderful staff making the nursery feel like a second home. Thank you, Norfolk House!

Our eighteen-month-old daughter has been at Norfolk House Oxford Road for five months. She was initially nervous and was worried about being left anywhere without one of her parents nearby, but after a few sessions at Norfolk House, she's become very settled. She is happy to be dropped off and the staff
have really helped by ensuring her favourite book or breakfast is there to comfort her on arrival.
The communication from the Nursery is great, we get regular updates on events for the month (e.g. trips to farms, visits from local fire service). The staff clearly communicate how she's eaten, slept etc and any other concerns and there is a clear system/process in place for this even on the odd occasion where the usual staff are not present at the time of handover. This helps align home life with the nursery. The nursery has helped develop my daughter's social skills and communication. The nursery also provides access to a healthcare specialist and nutritionist which is an added bonus.

My daughter started nursery in August 2022 and I was very apprehensive about how it would be as she is very wary of people and doesn't warm to people quickly. However, within a few weeks, I was so pleasantly surprised at how confident she has become and how much she now loves coming into nursery. My
daughter has completely warmed to her key worker and the other nursery nurses in her room who have been so wonderful, patient and accommodating. The team at Oxford Road from management, the rooms, kitchen etc are all so friendly, dedicated and hard-working and I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

Our 20-month-old and 4-year-old have been at Oxford Road since it opened. Both children absolutely love the nursery and pre-school and the children's key workers are amazing and know our children's likes, dislikes and all the funny little things that make them - them!
We love all the extracurricular
activities and the activities planned and organised by the girls are so much fun and loved by all the children.

Reply from Hayley Fox, Senior Nursery Manager at Norfolk House Nursery - Oxford Road

A lovely review that is much appreciated! The ethos of NHN is to ensure high standards, with individual care and education for children. It's lovely to hear that you can see how much the staff know your little one. Thank you so much!

The staff at the nursery are fantastic. They are so kind and caring, always smiley and friendly and brilliant with the children. The range of activities they do with the children is very impressive and I'm so happy with how my son has settled in and is developing. My son's key worker couldn't be more
caring and lovely with him and I feel so pleased that I can leave him in the hands of someone I really trust, and that really cares about him. Would highly recommend.

Reply from Hayley Fox, Senior Nursery Manager at Norfolk House Nursery - Oxford Road

Emma, thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so proud of the staff for creating such a lovely environment and embedding our high standards, ensuring they offer the best care and education. It's great to hear that your key person works closely with you and a strong bond has been created. Your words really do mean so much, we work hard to create the best environment for all individual children, and when parents recognise that and we see how happy and part of the community families are, it makes our day!

We cannot speak highly enough of the excellent staff, brilliant care provided, high-quality nutrition and facilities at Norfolk House. It is great to know that our little boy is safe, happy and so well cared for. Staff have made a huge effort to genuinely know him, take a keen interest in encouraging
his progression and development, and are so kind to him. There is a huge range of activities including outside play every day. On a personal note, the flexibility and generosity of the whole team has helped us as a family to manage a difficult and stressful time. Thank you to everyone at Norfolk House Moseley you are all amazing!

Anna, thank you so much. Your words really do mean so much to us all! I'll be sure to pass it on to your son's key worker.

Exceptional nursery whereby every single person is so positive and kind! It makes a huge difference when dropping your child off. My daughter just started nursery and knowing she has such wonderful people looking after her makes you feel much more relaxed as a parent. Charlie and Safah have both been
brilliant and have made us feel relieved during the settling-in process.

Wonderful nursery. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. Our little boy warmed to the staff very quickly and handovers at the end of the day are thorough. They always have a fantastic array of activities for children to take part in, both inside and out. Have also been extremely impressed by
the number of 'extracurricular activities' with members of staff going above and beyond to provide stay and plays and parties for children and parents. Would highly recommend.

My two-year son is in the toddler room at Norfolk House Moseley. It always feels like such a bright and welcoming place to come into. There is always new and nice activities laid out for the children, and he is always happy to go in, and happy when he comes out! Communication is excellent and the team
are always holding extra activities and initiatives. Lovely place.

Couldn't be happier with this place for our daughter. She's developed so much since she's been here and all the staff are excellent with her, very friendly and excellent at their jobs. There are so many additional activities arranged that it's hard to keep up. Highly recommended

Our son moved to the Oxford Road setting as soon as it opened and we didn't hesitate for our daughter to join later last year. In fact, she started to attend before I returned to work as the facilities and activities at the nursery are outstanding and she loved it from the very first moment she entered
the room. The staff are incredibly caring and welcoming. They develop great bonds with the children. The managers are fantastic and the setting is run very smoothly and efficiently. They are incredibly creative and constantly look for ways to enhance the children's experiences - there are various events and trips for the children as well as numerous family events which gives a sense of a lovely community. The food is fantastic and they accommodate all food allergies with great care. Nothing is an obstacle, even when a child requires additional support. It is an amazing environment and our children are continuing to thrive in their loving care.

Our daughter has just joined Norfolk house in the preschool room and everything about the transfer has been excellent.
In addition to the open day, she also went on several settling-in sessions which really helped to make her feel comfortable and included. She was also invited to the Christmas party,
so she really got a feel for the place prior to starting.
From a parent's perspective, the staff have been great at taking the time to answer my questions and provide any paperwork/information. They also included me in parent emails so that I got a sense of the schedule and any extra events that are taking place prior to her starting. I am so impressed with the level of communication and the range of activities that she will be taking part in. All the other parents that I've met really rate/recommend Norfolk House and so far it's easy to see why!

We are extremely pleased with the care that our daughter receives from Norfolk House Nursery. She loves all of the different activities that are offered and comes home with all sorts of exciting stories about her days. As her parents, we are comforted by the fact that each member of the staff seems

Our daughter has been at Norfolk House since it opened and we couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. Handing your child over to someone other than family or a friend is a very daunting prospect, but the team at Oxford road have been outstanding from the outset. All the members of staff seem
genuinely happy to work there. The nursery has fantastic, welcoming rooms with stimulating activities each day, including trips out to the local parks and other child-friendly destinations. Now seven months on since starting our daughter smiles whenever we say the word nursery or say the names of her key worker and other members of staff she has become close to. The parent-to-staff relationship is very strong and we feel very included in helping to develop the nursery. Thank you so much to all the staff at Oxford Road, you are amazing.

My daughter has attended Norfolk House Nursery since September. She has settled in so well. The staff are amazing and the facilities are fantastic. With the help of the staff support system, we have managed to overcome many barriers. Everyone has been kind, welcoming and supportive. We are given daily
communication reports of activities etc. which have been reassuring. I would highly recommend this nursery to all children with all abilities, the facilities cater for different needs and the activities that take place are excellent. Thank you Norfolk House Nursery for everything you do!

We moved our toddler from another nursery, where she was happy and settled, due to our elder daughter starting school near to Norfolk House Nursery. We were worried about how our 2-year-old would settle but she is now so happy in the toddler room. The room leader is amazing. She sets up creative activities
for the children to come into every morning. They do lots of crafts and messy play and are out in the garden daily. The nursery manager and deputy are also outstanding. They organise for external companies to come in and run lots of activities, e.g. baby ballet and toddler tennis. We know our 2-year-old is stimulated and learning all day long. She is also eating home-cooked, healthy food and has lots of cuddles from the incredibly caring, warm and lovely staff. They also prepare home learning packs, for example, we had a brilliant playdough set recently with a wildlife theme. This is a truly outstanding nursery.

We were initially very nervous about leaving our 6-month-old, but the team made a real effort to make sure she settled quickly. They are so caring, and she loves her time there.
I have been incredibly impressed with the level of activities available both during and outside of nursery hours. Looking
forward to being an active member of the parent community over the next few years.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Norfolk House Nursery - Oxford Road 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 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.921 for Norfolk House Nursery - Oxford Road is calculated as follows: ( (563 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 610 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 Norfolk House Nursery - Oxford Road is based on 51 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 51 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: Senior Nursery Manager

Joined: 2009

I am Hayley Fox, the Senior Nursery Manager. I oversee all three of our nurseries, sharing my time between them and working closely with the Nursery Managers who are responsible for their day-to-day operation. We have found that this arrangement further enhances the level of service we are able to provide and keeps us at the very forefront of Early Years education.


I have worked in Early Years education for 22 years. I started work at our Norfolk Road setting in April 2009, some five months before it opened its doors. I have therefore been able to recruit staff, plan and implement policies, and develop best practice in all areas from the Nursery’s very inception. My own daughter attended the Nursery and progressed through every age group, which has enabled me to view it from a parent’s perspective.


My team and I would be delighted to show you around our setting, explain further the service we provide and answer all your questions. Please do not hesitate to make contact, and I look forward very much to meeting you in the future.
