A lovely nursery with fantastic staff who are dedicated to caring for and nurturing the children. The nursery manager, is amazing, always supportive and approachable, making both parents and children feel at ease. The nursery itself is on the smaller side, which I love, as it makes the transition of
leaving your baby much less daunting.
My child is very happy here, I feel completely confident that she's well looked after, which is the most important thing for any parent. The staff who work directly with the children are outstanding, I cannot praise them enough for their dedication and warmth.
One area for improvement is management not present on-site, I have experienced a couple of issues in this regard. However, this does not take away from the exceptional care provided by the nursery team present daily, which really is the most important factor. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little one!

The nursery is very well run and my son has a great time whenever he is there. The staff are very helpful and have lots of engaging activities for the children which really help with their development. There is lots of space and equipment so the children have lots of options as to what they want to
do. The nursery also uses an app which parents can log into and see what their child has done through the day (naps, feeds, games etc).

This was my first nursery that I looked at and I loved it. The space inside, the activities they do with kids every day, the staff were wonderful since the day I went to see the nursery, absolutely lovely and by their conversation I knew I will send my child there. My son does not talk yet and is not
very fond of new people but with only a week being there he keeps on babbling random words all day and when one from the staff picks him up he plays with her and smiles at her. I've been literally shocked by the turn of events with my child. Truly happy by the support they gave me too. Assuring me I'm doing great asking what they can help me more with meant a lot to me. Even if I ever move house from here I'll travel to still send my child here. As a mother I truly recommend.

I was quite nervous about my son starting at nursery for the first time, but from the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly helpful and supportive. The manager was so reassuring and really put my mind at ease. She took the time to answer all my questions and explain how everything works, which
made me feel much more comfortable about leaving my son in their care. The baby room leader was absolutely wonderful with my son. He warmed up to her so quickly, and I could see how patient and kind she was with him. It's not easy for him to settle in new environments, but thanks to the baby room leader's warmth and attention, he adapted much faster than I expected. The entire team at Winchmore Hill House has made what could have been a stressful experience much smoother, and I'm so grateful for their care and professionalism. I feel confident leaving my son in such a nurturing environment!

My little boy started at this nursery when he was a baby. He's doing really well in the Toddlers room now. The staff are really nice and welcome everyone warmly. The manager is excellent to everyone and I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

Thank you for making my child feel safe and secure. My child always comes out with lots of tales to tell.
The nursery manager and staff are doing a great job. They do all the activities according to the Early Years Foundation Stage.

I settled my daughter into her new nursery at the end of July. The staff in the nursery are so friendly and made me feel welcome and relaxed. My daughter settled in straight away and that made me happy to see because she doesn't go to anyone she doesn't know. They have lots of toys in the nursery and
the nursery itself is very clean and I like that the garden is so big and amazing to see.

My two-year-old who attends the nursery has settled into nursery life well. She had formed good relationships with all staff who work at the setting. I am very pleased as a Mum to have found such a wonderful nursery.

My daughter has been at this nursery for months now. She settled in very well thanks to the lovely staff there, she is very happy to go to meet her teachers and friends. They always keep me updated with all the things she does there and every day they find time to upload some photos of her on the nursery
app too while they do activities.

My child loves the preschool group. He is excited to go every morning and I love seeing him learn new things, I can see that he has learnt to speak English (he is not a native speaker) and he likes to play with other kids. I love that the staff is always welcoming and I feel that they care for my son.
They always give feedback on his day plus I like that there are regular updates on the app.

We recently enrolled our 3-year-old into this nursery and have not regretted it. The staff are very kind and helped our little one settle very quickly with no problems. He often comes home with stories about new friends and mentions certain teachers fondly by name.
Being a smaller nursery than we've
used before, I appreciate the focus and attentiveness my child receives and am glad that he is able to have the quiet time and space he needs when the environment gets a little noisy.
Admin (invoicing, onboarding) is very efficient and organised with clear processes and key contacts from the start.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.729)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.729) out of 10 for Winchmore Hill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.729 for Winchmore Hill House is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.729

  • 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 Winchmore Hill House is based on 13 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 13 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.
