Step into MyInhurst's Early Years Centre and you will be greeted with an energy and vibe like no other. The enthusiasm and support from both staff and parents is palpable as the children are welcomed into the purpose built setting in the leafy suburb of Sheffield. Mylnhurst Nursery provides a stimulating learning environment, which invites problem solving, investigation, exploration, and reasoning. Being totally inclusive, each individual is encouraged to be themselves and this is celebrated daily.

Following a full and varied curriculum, the team strive to ensure that all learning is fun and progressive. Children enjoy weekly specialist lessons including swimming, music, baking/cooking, Art Therapy, Forest School, FitTots, Spanish and Kixx Soccer. Planning carefully and creatively enables them to follow children’s interests and explore the 7 areas of learning.

Every day is a journey of discovery, intrigue, and fun. They are fortunate to have a dedicated outdoor space for Forest School to take place. This magical area is nestled under the leafy boughs of the ancient trees creating a purposeful space for children to immerse themselves in the wonder of nature. Early Years children enter the outdoor classroom via a slide from the Reception playground and exit via a climbing wall to return. From bird watching and bug hunts, to stories and yoga the children benefit from an array of activities supporting all of the areas of learning. Activities are carefully planned so that there is a balance of experiencing, learning from and protecting nature. They have forged excellent links with all local schools (and some further afield) enabling them to offer full support to transitioning children and their families.

They work to a ratio of 1:6 and all staff are qualified, experienced and dedicated to providing an excellent Early Years experience for both parent and child.

My granddaughter has settled into Mylnhurst Nursery and flourished from the very first day. She has grown in confidence, made lovely friends and developed a love of learning. She loves singing the songs and taking part in the Christmas concert, learning to swim and counting in Spanish. The staff are
always kind and approachable. Such a lovely school.

My daughter went to the nursery for 2 years.
I'd already refused 4 Nursery places as they didn't understand my child's needs.
Mylnhurst staff, especially her key workers were amazing with her.
She flourished and continues to do so today.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We had so much fun with your little one and loved having her in the nursery with us.

My eldest daughter started in summer term 2022 and my youngest September 2023. They have been so happy in the Nursery and the access to the pool, Spanish and other Mylnhurst facilities has been great. The activities they get up to look fun and they always come out of and go into very happy. The before
and after school system works well and the ability to leave my youngest in it for a complimentary 30 minutes before picking my eldest from reception is very helpful and makes pick-up less stressful. The staff deserves an extra mention as my youngest really likes her. Thank you.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It's an absolute pleasure having your little ones with us. You will be delighted to learn that in April 2024 our catering will be undergoing a huge transformation and all of the food on offer to the children will have been carefully planned and nutritionally balanced for every specific age group.

Mylnhurst without a doubt helped bring my little girl on from a toddler to be ready and prepared for reception class. She was excited to go each day which speaks volumes and the staff are amazing. Swimming once a week too!

Mylnhurst Nursery's first-ever sports day was a wonder to behold. It was absolutely fabulous. So well organised, all the staff were there to make it run smoothly and ensure that all the children participated and had fun. It’s at events like this where you can see how staff go that extra mile for the
children and parents.
It is such a professional, nurturing and friendly nursery with so much to offer. My daughter has been there for just over a year and has come on leaps and bounds.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mylnhurst Nursery is an outstanding nursery offering the very best early years provision to the children in their care. The staff go above and beyond to give the children endless opportunities that other nurseries do not offer. For example swimming lessons, yoga, dancing, football, watching butterflies
evolve, bike riding, nature walks, singing and crafting.
A highlight was the nursery sports day. It was wonderful to see the children taking part and encouraging each other, cheering each other on and encouraging teamwork and peer support from an early age.
Another highlight was the nursery nativity, the dedication from staff to organise this event was incredible and the children loved it, improving their confidence at such an early age.
Finally, the staff are so caring, warm and friendly, exactly what is needed for children in their early years. My daughter talks about the nursery teachers very fondly at home. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mylnhurst Nursery to anyone without hesitation.

Absolutely amazing nursery, run by an excellent team of knowledgeable and caring primary school teachers. Facilities are of very high standard. Children are always doing fun activities. Both my daughters run in every day. Children are able to do extra activities such as swimming, soccer, baking, Spanish.
The very best start for my children. As a parent, I have total confidence in the nursery team.

Mylnhurst Nursery is a truly delightful place with the kindest and most nurturing staff and teachers. Our son skips in so happily each morning, he has made so many friends and can't wait to share all the lovely things he has done during the day. The children have such wonderful opportunities at Mylnhurst,
like swimming, baking and sports lessons all set within the beautiful, leafy grounds of the school. It is such a welcoming, caring atmosphere where you really feel part of a wider school community. It is a wonderful nursery which has provided our son with the most amazing start to his school journey. Thank you to all there.

Our little boy loves Mynhurst Nursery! The staff are warm and professional - they go above and beyond to ensure the children are happy! Always very approachable and accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. The learning environment is clean, well equipped and wonderful both inside and out. He also
enjoys a wide range of extra-curricular activities each week, including Kixx Soccer (a particular favourite!), Spanish, Music, Baking and Swimming. We buy school lunches which are varied, healthy and appealing to young children. Would definitely recommend Mylnhurst!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for Mylnhurst 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 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 4.986 for Mylnhurst Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.986

  • 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 Mylnhurst Nursery 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, 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.
