My son has loved his time at preschool. The team are all amazing and he enjoys spending time there every day! He always has lots to tell me about his day and has learnt so many things since joining. He has a good understanding of how his day will go once he transitions to school and as a result of this
and the hard work the team do at the preschool I have no worries about him starting school in September.
His older brother also attended the setting they brought out his confidence and the best in him. I will always send my children to this setting without hesitation!

I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery at Heyford Park School. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and approachable, and really care about the children in their care. My son grew so much in confidence during his nearly two years here before leaving to start school. The staff supported him well
and really got to know him and he has flourished in their care as a result. The transition to school has been really smooth and I feel that the nursery has prepared him well for this big move which couldn't have gone better. My son really enjoyed his time at this nursery; he was excited to go each day, and each day he enjoyed a wide range of activities, was challenged, and had a lot of fun. I am very grateful to all the staff for their investment in my son and how supportive they have been to him and all our family.

My daughter attended the nursery for a year and a half full time and the progress she made through the wonderful staff was amazing. She loved it there and I would recommend it to anyone. Special mention to three members of staff in particular who all made such a difference in my daughter.

My child really enjoyed their time at this nursey, the staff were brilliant with any concerns I had regarding my child’s learning.
The day had structure to ease the transition to school learning and life, they also held parents' evening like at school so eased us as parents into what to expect.
I
would highly recommend this nursery to anyone, especially if they value learning in the early years by a caring team of staff who value the children’s interests and education.

I cannot recommend the nursery school enough.
My eldest child went to a different nursery setting which unknown to me at the time (eldest child) did nothing to prepare him for school. Heyford Park Nursery School in contrast have taught my daughter basic phonics, maths and handwriting and on recognising
her passion for learning continued to teach her to near reception level.
From day one my daughter was happy attending the Nursery School. The team really care, and I felt like every single person knew her, took an interest in what she found interesting and genuinely cared about her. There is always an opportunity to speak to the team at the start or end of the day, they are very friendly and approachable.
My child's confidence grew in the 18 months she attended the Nursery School and she has made a lot of friends. I would recommend the Nursery School to anyone, they provide a great start to children.

Best choice I ever made putting my daughter in this nursery. They did everything they could to make her ready for reception. The manager and her team are amazing! My child was non-verbal when she started and now is talking up a storm. Can't thank them enough.

Both my children have been to Heyford Park Nursery. Both my children loved it there and thrived. All staff were lovely and my child was always happy to go in and play.
I speak highly of Heyford and would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

My other older daughter had attended the nursery around 4 years ago, it was amazing back then great memories now it was my other daughter's turn. I had really high hopes and very excited she had been at another nursery which was wonderful, couldn't put a foot wrong. I made the decision to then move
her to Heyford Nursery. Sadly I feel was a bad move. It has changed so much for the worse, I've never known a nursery with such poor communication. I never felt any genuine relationship between myself or any member of the teaching team, never got any daily updates, pictures or videos of my daughter which other nurseries were so good at, the year spent there for me was a very unhappy one and I will not be recommending it to anybody.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.281)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.281) out of 10 for Heyford Park School Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.581 for Heyford Park School Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.581

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Heyford Park School Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 7 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.
