UK's top nurseries in 2023 revealed

daynurseries.co.uk, the UK’s leading nursery reviews site, has announced the top nurseries in the country for 2023.

Looking for the right nursery for your child, in the right location and within your budget, can be daunting as well as time-consuming.

To make it easier for parents and carers to find the right childcare setting, daynurseries.co.uk has named the Top 20 nurseries in all regions of the UK, alongside the top nursery groups.

Reviews give parents valuable insight into quality of childcare

daynurseries.co.uk has over 14,000 nurseries listed with information about the nursery such as fees, opening hours and what kind of childcare it offers. It also has over 170,000 reviews of nurseries giving parents a valuable insight into the quality of childcare on offer.

This year, nurseries have been battling with rising food and energy bills as well as struggling with recruitment problems. Yet despite having all this to contend with, a huge number have still succeeded in getting excellent reviews from parents and achieved high review scores on daynurseries.co.uk.

There are approximately one million children in the UK attending a nursery, and with over 1,500 nursery groups and over 14,000 nurseries in the UK, the Top 20 awards aim to highlight those settings which are excelling across the board.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: "Finding the right nursery for a child is so important. All parents, families and carers want is a place that is safe, stable and nurturing – a place where their child can grow at their own pace and develop good self-esteem. The search can be overwhelming.

"Our annual awards not only help families choose a setting, but the reviews and the recognition these nurseries receive help parents feel reassured and at ease, especially now, against a backdrop of recruitment and occupancy challenges, and immense uncertainty."

'Awards are a celebration of hard work, dedication and commitment'

She added: "The awards are also a celebration of all the hard work, dedication and commitment shown by the staff who aim to offer children the best possible start in life.

"Congratulations to all the top nurseries and a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to submit reviews on our site – your views really do make a big difference."

The awards are based on almost 60,000 reviews by parents, relatives and guardians of nursery children from 29 April 2021 to 28 April 2023.
