Such lovely a nursery, the facilities are excellent but most importantly staff are so kind and caring and do everything they can to support the children and their families. So reassuring to know that they are well looked after by staff who genuinely care.

Ashbridge at Maxy Farm is a wonderful setting that offers amazing learning opportunities for children, this includes outdoor learning in their huge outdoor space, forest school, PE, Atelier sessions, Montessori lead learning and gardening. The staff are so welcoming and my daughter formed such a close
bond with her key person. The staff really do go above and beyond to ensure that children feel safe, happy and secure. My daughter's development progressed so much by attending Maxy Farm and we really noticed a difference in her. Thank you so much Maxy Farm for being such a special part of our daughter's journey!

As a first-time mum, I was so nervous about putting my son in nursery. However, after visiting Ashbridge at Maxy Farm, my husband and I felt confident that he would do well there. He has been through the baby room for his first year at nursery and has just moved up to the next age group and we couldn't
be happier.
The facilities are lovely; they have a nice outdoor space for the children to play in and explore. I love the option for them to sleep outdoors as well. The nursery appears clean and tidy and has a warm and inviting atmosphere.
But what we love most of all is how much the staff cares for our son. They look after him like he is their own, and genuinely care about him and his wellbeing. I love how they pay attention to the little things and relay any information back to me at pick-ups. Moments/photos are sent throughout the day so I can see what activities he is up to. It's comforting to be able to see that he is happy and well looked after.
Definitely recommend this nursery.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It's lovely to hear that your son's first year has been everything you hoped it was going to be. It's so lovely to see children move up to the next age group with confidence and see their character and independence developing. It's a joy to watch. Your sons well being is the most important aspect of our care. Thank you for recommending Maxy and I will share your review with staff.

My eldest started at Maxy Farm 6 years ago and my youngest has been at Maxy since I went back to work at 9 months old (now 2 and a half).
Both of my girls loved and love coming to Maxy, they never want to leave at the end of the day.
They have been cared for, loved and looked after like their own
children.
My girls have gone through every developmental stage from 9 months old to preschool, they have learnt so much educationally and socially/emotionally.
From the management team, front of house, to the staff in the rooms to the kitchen staff, everyone is always smiling.
Management know all of the children individually which is impressive and are always there to speak regardless of how little your query may be!
The setting is outstanding, and the opportunities offered, resources and outdoor spaces are second to none.
We love it at Ashbridge, thank you!

I've been very happy with the Ashbridge team. My daughter has been with them for almost 3 years and is now in their preschool program. We've loved the ethos of Ashbridge and how much time is dedicated to being outdoors. I love how open-ended the play is, while still providing activities that are targeted
at developing age-appropriate skills. There are frequent upgrades and improvements, including the recently opened library.
Although this nursery is more expensive than others in the area, we feel the amenities and quality, combined with the 52-week/year schedule and provision of high-quality meals make it worth it for our family.

We visited three nurseries before settling on Ashbridge at Maxy Farm for our child. They have been attending for around 18 months now and enrolling them here has been the best decision we've made for their development - the facilities are fantastic and the support and encouragement provided cannot be
faulted.
As working parents, it makes a huge difference to our own well-being knowing we can drop our child off in the morning somewhere that they are well cared for.
Outdoor activities feature heavily. There is vast safe space available for children to explore and learn from. Our child's current favourite activities include physical education sessions and arts and crafts which both benefit from dedicated team member support.
There are flowers, plants, and fruits that are grown in the nursery gardens that children are also supported to attend to by dedicated team members.
A new library facility is very popular.
It's a joy to see our child thrive in this environment.

My child started at Ashbridge aged ten months when I returned to work. Two and a half years later, he has just moved up to the Pre-School rooms.
I couldn't be happier with the care provided here. The forest school ethos means that the children spend a lot of time outside come rain or shine, and they
learn through play. The learning is child-centred, and my son has a love of nature and gardening and a curiosity for how things work, he loves exploring and is cautious, yet confident in new surroundings.
The nursery was purpose-built and there are very few locally with the same facilities. The menu is outstanding, and they are able to cater to a wide range of dietary requirements. There is also a library.
The staff are genuinely caring, and whilst over the last couple of years we have had a couple of changes, the room leaders and management have remained the same, and my child's key workers have always had a great relationship with him and know him very well.

Thank you for your lovely review. It has been a pleasure to see your son thrive at Maxy, enjoying all the experiences that we offer. The outdoor ethos is something that we are passionate about at Ashbridge. It is very important to us and the children that they have a strong attachment with their key person. I will certainly share your review with the team at Maxy.

A lovely, purpose-built nursery with fantastic facilities. The children spend a lot of time outside, which I think is brilliant for their development, and she seems to do a whole range of great activities throughout the day. The staff are superb - very caring and supportive. My daughter has had a great
few years at Ashbridge Maxy Farm; she's now in the preschool there and continues to thrive.

Both our boys have been going to Ashbridge Maxy Farm since June 2023, they have both thrived since joining & we can't thank the staff here enough. They are so caring & unbelievably kind to our children & we couldn't be happier placing our children here, we got lucky that this wonderful nursery is on
our doorstep & has such amazing facilities and nursery teachers who have bonded so amazingly with both of our boys. We will be forever grateful for all they have done for us during our children's time at Maxy Farm.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.981)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.981) out of 10 for Ashbridge at Maxy Farm Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.981 for Ashbridge at Maxy Farm Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (363 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 369 Ratings = 4.981

  • 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 Ashbridge at Maxy Farm Day Nursery is based on 31 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 150 number of registered child places is 30, which has been reached with 31 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.
