My daughter enjoyed it a lot.
Every time she came back happy. She liked the staff very much. She started school and still misses her nursery.
She liked to play outside in a garden and also loved the hens.
All staff was very helpful.

I highly recommend Hedgehog House, my daughter had the most wonderful time while she was there, it is a homely and friendly environment. The staff are so lovely and some have worked there for a long time. The garden is huge and brilliant for the kids, the parents are invited to a sports day in July.
The kids learn about different cultures and food. Hedgehog House holds a warm place in our hearts, my daughter still misses it.

We could not have picked a better nursery for our son to attend. Hedgehog House was absolutely amazing. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming and feels like everybody is part of one big family. At first, I was worried about my son starting nursery due to Covid and not having much social experience
but Hedgehog House soon helped him to come out of his shell and he was thriving. He has learned so much and gained many friendships being here. He has now left and started primary school but he still always talks about Hedgehog House and the staff and he misses everybody very much. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son had a fantastic time at Hedgehog House. It was such a homey and comforting environment, with consistent staff who get to know the children well. The children are looked after well and they make it a point to identify their interests and do activities related to it. They have also provided structure
in daily activities for the kids while incorporating creative play.

We cannot recommend Hedgehog Nursery highly enough! The staff there are amazing and have massively helped our son in his early school development. His transition to going to reception has been smooth sailing, and we cannot thank Hedgehog Nursery enough for this! By far the best nursery in the area!
(we have tried a few for our two kids over the years). They provide a loving, nurturing environment and a massive garden for them to run around; especially during spring and summer, it is wonderful to be outdoors. The staff has been there for years so not a high turnover of staff that you see in other nurseries.
The nursery also has cultural weeks (e.g. Philippino, Greek, Italian) allowing other kids get to get to know the different cultures of the children attending the nursery. It also makes the child feel valued and seen.
We have been blessed and so grateful to have found Hedgehog Nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.299)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.299) out of 10 for Hedgehog House Nursery School 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 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 4.966 for Hedgehog House Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hedgehog House Nursery School is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.833

  • 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.
