Do not send your child to this setting if as a parent you are under the illusion that "good" care will be provided. The management and the owner were extremely rude and unprofessional with multiple incidents I had brought to their attention. I was only given excuse after excuse rather than acknowledging
their lack of care and understanding when it comes to childcare and how to run a sufficient early-year setting. My child's belongings were not used on my child but on other children which I experienced firsthand. My child came home with unexplained marks on her and when I questioned how they had happened members of staff had no recollection and were unaware of any incidents occurring in their care. The communication is very poor, their understanding of safeguarding leaves a lot to be desired and I deeply regret sending my child there and leaving her within their poor care.

My child is 7 and has been at Ash Park for about 6 months now (maybe longer) for breakfast and after-school club and also holiday club. She loves the place and the girls that work there. All the girls are great with the kids and are very professional. They have been extremely helpful and understanding
with my shifts. I love the fact that the girls take them out on day trips and little walks to the park/ducks. The building is lovely too.

Ash Park has been amazing for my daughter. The girls really are fantastic. Lovely setting and always lots of adventures and things to do. Nothing is ever too much and if they can help they will. The bond between my daughter and staff is a lovely thing to see. They really have helped in so many ways.
To see my daughter so happy and thriving at Ash Park is lovely to see.

I was very cautious about sending my child to nursery as she was extremely shy and clingy but I took the plunge and chose Ash Park Childcare due to knowing the owner. Safe to say it was the best choice I could have made, my little girl has come on leap and bounds especially with her talking and not
panicking around new people. I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a nursery. The girls go above and beyond and the children do so many activities outside which is amazing!

Fantastic loving, caring staff that take great care of my son. Providing a wide range of activities and meals. Currently, a lack of enclosed outdoor space but this isn't a worry as they are always out and about to the park, feeding ducks, indoor play gym, day trips.

I honestly cannot find the words to describe how in love with Ash Park Childcare we all are! My 3-year-old daughter goes two full days a week and my 7-year-old son does the same days but morning and after school club, plus holiday club. They are constantly doing a variety of activities to encourage
their development, which I know is expected of any nursery or preschool but they seem to go above and beyond with the children in their care. I’ve never known any child care setting taking them out into the outside world and teach them the way they do, as much as Ash Park does. Park trips, trips to the river, farm days out, the list is endless. Above all the fantastic activities they do, my kids absolutely love going! The whole team seriously make it a home from home. We couldn’t be happier!
Our children will carry on their care with Ash Park until they are sadly too old to attend anymore.

As a first-time parent, it has been quite daunting knowing that the decisions you make can affect your child’s life in such a drastic way however Ash Park Childcare have been totally amazing through every step of the process - from induction to the current day. My daughter is thriving there and, at
only 17 months old, is learning more and more every day. Each and every staff members are honest, trustworthy, and kind, leaving my anxious mind to rest and focus on work. Even though Ash Park is a relatively new service, there are years of experience behind the staff and we love to see Ash Park grow alongside our little one. Highly recommend!

It is so hard to trust someone with your little ones, but Ash Park Childcare management and staff are excellent and I totally trust them with my 1 and 4-year-old. The activities they get up to are excellent and they often do trips out. Food is always freshly made. They are very flexible so have helped
me out with last-minute childcare needs. Thirsk is so lucky to have such a lovely nursery.

Current Review Score: 1.8 (1.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 1.8 (1.818) out of 10 for Ash Park Childcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 1.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0.0 out of 5 from 0 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 1.818 for Ash Park Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 1.818

  • 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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ash Park Childcare is based on 0 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) =

    • 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 25 number of registered child places is 5. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 5 = 0

  • 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.
