Everyone is so friendly and caring, they really connect with the children and get to know them individually. They're a child lead nursery and all of their rooms are open so that your child is not confined to one room, and can integrate with older children. They cook all of their own meals so that every
child has a variety of healthy foods. My little girl settled very quickly and you can tell she trusts all of the ladies at the nursery. She really loves being there and she makes everyone so happy; it makes my husband and I happy and reassured that she's comfortable and cared for.

I am extremely pleased with Ashbourne, they are an amazing nursery with very friendly staff. My daughter loves going & always comes away happy. Her development there in the last 6 months has been brilliant, she does lots of different activities and the updates I get from the staff through the app during
the day as well as at the end of the day are always thorough.
I will be sending my 2nd daughter here too.
Would highly recommend!!

My child has been at the nursery since September and I cannot fault the staff enough for all their support with helping my child settle in and make the transition so easy, especially how nervous he was at the start.
It's lovely to see all the photos and updates on the app we get and can really see
how much joy and excitement my son gets from the nursery. His speech and confidence alone has come on leaps and bounds and it's lovely when we pick him up to see everything that he has got up to.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent, the staff are so thoughtful, kind and caring and go above and beyond for your child. And if you ever have any query or concern they are happy to help.

I can't recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery enough. The staff are so welcoming, happy and hardworking.
My little girl started in the toddler room and is now in preschool and very much enjoys it. She has seen the setting grow and it's so wonderful to see all the content child when we do collections and
drop offs.
My child can be very clingy but the staff are great to distract her and I know once I have left she settles quickly.
They do such creative and wonderful activities with my daughter she is excited to tell be about at the end of the day.
Nice now the days are sunnier they can all enjoy the large garden too.

I had my reservations on choosing a nursery over childminder but we have loved Ashbourne! I am a huge worrier and the ladies are so supportive and don't bat an eyelid to my emails and calls to check in! It's a huge transition and we have felt comforted along the way. All of the ladies greet my son with
a smile and by name which I think is so lovely. Full of friendly faces and a warm feeling. Looking forward to watching our little one grow here.

My son joined in September when he just turned 1 - I cannot rate Ashbourne Day Nursery enough, the ladies here have really aided his development and has come a long way since he first started. He loves the staff and always gives them a big hug when he goes in. I love seeing what he is getting up to
throughout the day via the app through the pictures and updates that are uploaded; and with stay and plays for mothers day, Fathers day and just regular ones throughout the year, I was able to see first hand how happy my son was in the nursery and how he interacts with children his own age! It is definitely a pleasure to see and I would definitely recommend!

I cannot fault the care that my daughter has received at Ashbourne since starting in January 2025. Her key worker and the wider staff have built fantastic relationships with her, she enjoys going into nursery and always has a big smile on her face. She has also started to build some friendships within
her room and the social aspect of being around other children has been great for her development. Her dad and I love to receive the updates via the nursery app and the staff always debrief about her day at pickup. It's reassuring to, not only find out about the activities she has done, but also the amount of food/milk she has had and when she has napped.
Overall, we are really pleased with the nursery, the care and attention they have shown towards our daughter and the lovely experiences she has had so far.

My two children have been going to Ashbourne for 4 months now following the unexpected closure of their last nursery. The staff were excellent at helping them settle in during a difficult and confusing time for them. Any concerns I had were put to rest really quickly as the children were soon literally
running into nursery in the mornings!
It's a really friendly nursery with lots of activities for the children to do and plenty of outdoor time. We receive daily feedback and photos through the parentzone app as well as verbal handovers at pick up.

Reply from Charlotte, Parent Relations Team at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate

It's great to hear that you enjoy the updates through the ParentZone app and the daily handovers at pick-up. Keeping you informed and involved in their day is so important to us.

My son started in the toddler room in November. The week before his key worker had just started at the nursery and together they have been adjusting to the setting.
He loves his key-worker! The girls in the room are always helping us to manage his behaviour when he gets overwhelmed and we are all working
together to help him with his speech. They are friendly and keep me updated on what hes up to each day. I look forward to parents evening later this month!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.872 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.872

  • 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 Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, 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.
