Wonderful staff and facilities here. All the staff genuinely care about the children they are looking after. Meaning you know you are leaving your precious ones in good hands. So glad I moved my little one here, after a difficult start at a different nursery.

The nursery is a gorgeous setting inside and out, it's all very well looked after and safe/secure. They have so many different activities for the children and the staff are extremely caring and settle the children in really well! You can tell they all genuinely care and want to be there. Everyone is
super friendly and you always feel like your child is in amazing hands with everyone there! Hands down the best place around to send our son who is really thriving there!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Leafield House. The attention to detail in everything they do is outstanding, and we love how varied and enriching the activities are for the children. As parents, we feel very involved and receive regular, thorough updates, which really puts our minds at
ease. The environment is always warm and welcoming, and the staff are so friendly and attentive. It's clear they genuinely care about the children, not only the key worker but everyone we interact with are totally committed to making Leafield great for the children. The food is amazing, both in quality and variety and the different areas the children have to play and learn in are fantastic. We love the themed days and seeing the dedication to making everything exciting and informative. They made such a special effort on our daughter's birthday too, so amazing. We highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a place where their little ones will thrive!

The staff are brilliant. They are welcoming, attentive and so supportive of both the children and the parents. The facilities are lovely and kept to a very high standard. My son has been there for nearly a year and is thriving in such a wonderful environment and in the company of amazing staff.

Leafield House Nursery is an amazing nursery, the staff cater to all needs for the children and my niece absolutely loves them.

Our son has been attending this nursery for just over a month now and we have been impressed with everything so far!
Our son has settled in so quickly and clearly feels very comfortable and at ease when he is there - all of the staff are great with him and put us at ease leaving him for a whole day
at a time (something we have never done before!)
Our son has a great relationship with his primary carer and I can already see that bonds are being formed. We also enjoy the fact that all of the staff know our son and understand his specific needs.
The facilities at the nursery are great - there is a lot of outdoor space which he uses every day, something that is super important to us as his parents.
The most important thing to us is that our son is happy. When I ask him at the end of each day if he had a fabulous day, he always emphatically answers yes!

The nursery teachers are extremely caring and loving towards the children which for me is the most important part of the nursery. They have some excellent formal processes for example every child has a key worker and they give progress reviews on your child's development. As one of the only nurseries
opening at 7.30 am in the area, this was a big advantage over competing nurseries (although 7.00 am start would be better but no nurseries offer this in the area). In terms of improvement areas, I think the nursery has a good system for logging activities, however, sometimes some activities can be missed off the app. I would like to see more variety in the menu, the main meals are usually good but the snacks are often less healthy or heavy on bread. I think they are also missing a last meal as my child often comes home hungry (arrival 11.30, 15.30) they need another one slightly after this or a bigger meal at 15.30. We would like to see the menu sent out in advance and more variety. We are overall very happy with our child's experience here and will be staying here all the way through. Well done Leafield team for being so lovely.

As a multi-parent family, communication is key. And this was always a worry when looking for childcare. As a family of two mums and two dads, communication is so important to us as a family to ensure the correct messages are getting passed on. The staff have been great, along with the app they use to
communicate.

I have two children who attend Leafield House Nursery. I have been impressed by how much they have progressed in such little time, although it is bittersweet having them grow so quickly. They both really enjoy it and are comfortable with the staff, who are all lovely and friendly. They are all so quick
to celebrate my child’s milestones and show their excitement to encourage, especially my daughter, in things like toilet training. The space itself is very clean and offers a wide variety of activities that support imaginative play, i.e. the play barn and forrest school. I am happy with the care they receive here and the relationships they have built in the process.

I have been extremely impressed with the service at Leafield House Nursery. The staff are amazing, they go above and beyond to care for my child and make him feel comfortable. I was very impressed with how they looked after him in his first few weeks to help him settle into a new setting. I have also
been very impressed with the facilities, activities and food available.

I really can’t fault Leafield House Nursery and feel so relaxed and happy that my child is getting the best care. A cut above every other nursery
that we viewed.

We are new to Leafield House Nursery this year and I must say, I am very impressed so far! A secure, clean environment, with a positive atmosphere and days filled with fun activities and purposeful play.
My (nearly) 2-year-old seems to really enjoy her days here and returns home most days with a new
word, action or song. The nursery keeps us updated with every snack, meal, change and also sends plenty of pictures of what our child is up to. The staff are always smiling and the management go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction in all areas. It is clear a lot of thought and experience has gone into every single detail of the nursery.
Overall, they offer a very personable, trusting experience for the parents and a very enjoyable start to learning, socialising and development for the little ones.
10/10!

An amazing nursery inside and out. The staff are exceptional. Everything about this nursery is thought out very well. Meets every child's needs, and it's the best nursery I've ever sent my children to. Food is all home cooked nothing frozen. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants the best
for their child. Cannot fault it in the slightest.

As a first-time mum trying to find the right nursery for my daughter was hard, but I can honestly say, Leafield House was the right choice. The staff are amazing!
The children have a variety of activities throughout the day, which has helped my daughter develop massively. Their outside space is amazing,
allowing the children to explore in free play and in a learning environment.
I highly recommend Leafield House Nursery!

I have two children at Leafield House and have put my third on the waiting list to start next year. Last year, my son attended another local nursery and would get extremely upset every time he had to go. After giving it a chance for almost a year and seeing that the tears weren’t stopping, we thought
we’d try Leafield House. We are happy to say that we are over the moon with the nursery and that it was the best decision we made. I only wish the nursery had opened sooner. My children love the staff, there are no tears and my son, who was the fussiest eater, is now eating things I never thought possible. Unlike the other nursery, we are regularly sent photos and messages of what the children are up to. The communication is excellent. The staff provide a very nurturing but also educational environment and are always happy to help with any concerns or questions. The care they receive, which is reflected in the children’s happiness to go, is well worth the money. A really happy mum!

The team at Leafield House are amazing!
Being a parent of one of the first children in the new nursery it has been great to see the facility blossom into a great place for both children and parents.
My daughter was, initially, hesitant of the change from home to nursery but absolutely loves it! She
has personal relationships with multiple members of staff and always bounds in with a smile on her face.
We receive regular updates throughout the day on what she had been up to, pictures of the daily activities and what she has been eating.
We have had our first review of how she is doing and it is great to see the developmental progress she has made in such a short amount of time.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Leafield House 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 4.951 for Leafield House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (354 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.951

  • 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 Leafield House 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 115 number of registered child places is 23, 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.
