Ivy House is a warm, child-centred nursery that has a family and homey feel. My child has been here since 9 months old and we are so happy with the love and care he gets. The staff are friendly and build great relationships. We love that they celebrate and follow our child's interests. They take the
kids on outings most days and the classes they have are brilliant including sports class for older kids and Hartbeeps. They go out to the forest, park, the train station, to the supermarket, to the shops and sometimes to the local care home. This community interaction is so valuable for giving the children real world experiences and building their stamina for walking. They have supported my child with each milestone and the kids even have a graduation ceremony when they leave for school. They also run great World Book Day and charity events. The farm visit, stay and play events and Santa visit are really special. Our son is thriving here and we are so grateful.

My daughter has been at Ivy house for 2.5 years, since she was 6 months old and has evolved and developed incredibly at Ivy House. I've had key contacts since the beginning who know my daughter well and help her thrive in her environment, as well as providing timely updates on her development and behaviour.
My daughter loves her key workers at Ivy house and always gets the love and attention she needs. Ivy house provides a safe and secure place and I trust she is in good hands while I'm at work. They do lots of outings and spend time outdoors as well as sports, music and language activities which my daughter loves.

My eldest went to Ivy House and now my youngest is there and we couldn't be happier. It's a home away from home. Everyone who works there makes the effort to get to know your child and you as a parent. They are always thinking of new and exciting things for the children to do, taking them out on outings
(which lots of nurseries don't do) and have external companies come in each week like Sports 4 Kids, Hartbeeps and yoga. My son is happy and thriving there and I would always recommend Ivy House!

Our son has been at Ivy House for nearly a year (starting at 11 months) and in that time he has blossomed. The staff take care to set up plenty of stimulating activities for the children and they all seem happy. We chose Ivy House as it felt like a home from home, and it has certainly lived up to expectations.
The venue is quite small but I think that’s nice for the littlest ones, and they also take them out a lot. Being by the station is a bonus both practically and also because the children love watching the trains!

My child has gone to Ivy House 1 day per week for the last 6 months and so have found them to be really good. The staff are professional and caring and the nursery is well run. They organise activities for the children such as Santa coming to visit and the farm coming to visit which is fab. They regularly
update the app throughout the day so I can see what my child is eating, drinking and doing in terms of naps which is really helpful. Overall I highly recommend this nursery.

Ivy House is a lovely, small and homely environment. My daughter is 13 months old and has settled in well and is very happy there. I have really liked that there is a seperate sleeping room for the babies and the staff take care to work with her existing routine. Equally each room is decorated similarly
to a home environment and the kids have access to a range of different activities.

We are very pleased with our choice of Ivy House for our little one who is very enthusiastic about going every morning. The staff are all really lovely and they do so many varied activities with the children, including regular outings which were important to us. It feels like our little one has advanced
so much since starting there a few months ago. We really appreciate the regular updates we get throughout the day via the app, including photos as well as a friendly handover at the end of the day.

Ivy House has been amazing, we have our first child there and honestly, we couldn’t ask for a better setting. We get photos and updates every day so we get to see how happy she is, this gives us so much joy - especially doing one of the hardest things a parent has to do, leaving their child! One nursery
worker is unbelievable at looking after babies she truly is the baby whisperer!) - she treats our daughter like her own, we feel super lucky to have this. Thank you Ivy House!

We have been with Ivy House since January 2022 and our little girl has thrived in their care. She absolutely loves going, has the best days going to the forest, going on adventure walks, playing with all the different types of messy play they have available and making new friendships. The outside space
is quite small so they tend to go on quite a few outings which is amazing! The garden areas they do have are lovely, well-equipped and used every day. We could not be happier with Ivy House at how welcoming, and accommodating to all different needs, and how understanding all staff are.
The home-from-home feel is what made us choose this nursery and we are so glad we did.
It is the hardest decision to leave your child in the care and trust of complete strangers but the staff here make the transition so much easier than we could have ever expected and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Our little boy has been attending Ivy House for over a year now, and he absolutely loves it! He wakes up excited to go, he talks about his friends and the staff at home and has thoroughly come leaps and bounds since being there. He has so much fun, does so many activities, and has developmentally progressed
so much all thanks to Ivy House. Childcare is expensive but I can say, here is worth every penny. You can be sure we will be sending our youngest here too!

Ivy house has a very family orientated feel about it. The staff are very friendly and professional. My son has loved going there since he was 11 months old, he can’t wait to get through the door.
I love the different play and learning stations they have and there are always different activities each
day which is lovely.
The app is brilliant, getting updates daily whilst I am working is exactly what I need and seeing photos of my son having fun is an added bonus.

Our 10-month-old son started at Ivy House in November. Since he started we have been very impressed with the level of service and care. The staff are always happy, smiling and open to answer any questions or queries we may have. As new parents using a nursery for the first time they have made it seem
extremely easy and it is great to hear of all the things he gets up to from their timely updates on the “Famly App”. We looked at lots of nurseries in the area but after visiting Ivy House on their open day we were won over by the knowledge, cleanliness and creativity. After speaking with the nursery manager, we were confident this was the best place for our son to learn and develop. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Since joining Ivy House, our daughter has been very happy there - it feels like a second home to her now. The manager and all of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention, and positivity.
I have also been updated daily on the app Famly with lots of
pictures which has been very efficient and encouraging to know our daughter is having a good time at Ivy House.
I would highly recommend Ivy House to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for our daughter.
A big thank you to all the team, we will never forget you.

Ivy House is a beautiful small nursery with the child at the heart of all that they do. It has a lovely family feel, which is part of its magic. They follow a curiosity approach, which has encouraged my child to explore learning in a natural way. The staff are kind and nurturing. Most importantly, they
genuinely know and respect my child. They support my child’s progress through their interests and give exciting learning opportunities. Communication is efficient and clear. My child is thriving and I couldn’t be happier with the care provided.

A lovely independent nursery. My daughter has attended since she was 13 months old and settled quickly, the staff all seem lovely and she really enjoys her time there. I immediately got a good feeling from the nursery and personally liked that it’s a bit smaller and more homely than the larger chain
nurseries. Lovely selection of toys and nice cosy settings in the rooms.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Ivy House Nursery Station Approach 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.909 for Ivy House Nursery Station Approach is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.909

  • 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 Ivy House Nursery Station Approach is based on 12 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
