Nursery on the Hill, rated Good by Ofsted (August 2024), offers a welcoming and secure setting where each child is nurtured and stimulated.

To ensure each child feels safe and happy during their time at the nursery, the team work closely with families. The nursery also has a 'key person' system. This means that each member of staff has a group of children for whom she/he is particularly responsible for. Your child's key person will be the person who works with you to make sure that what is provided is right for your child's particular needs and interests.

The team believe that learning and care should start the moment a child joins the nursery and each is offered child and adult led activities and daily routines to help promote their learning and development.

My daughter loves Nursery on the Hill. She is always happy when she comes home and loves to tell us about the fun things she has done each day.
I love the activities they do, and the staff are so friendly!
I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended Nursery on the Hill and it is such a welcoming, nurturing and happy place for my children to learn and play. My children are and were always happy, well-adapted and excited to go to nursery each day.


As a primary school teacher myself, I understand the importance of

learning and learning through play in these formative years and the nursery has always exceeded my expectations.


Also, the nursery really focuses on the transition to school and my son was extremely ready when the time came.

Reply from Gemma Craig, PLT Manager at Nursery on the Hill
Thanks for the review. Great to hear both your children have had such a great time at nursery.

Even though my son is very attached to me, and drop-offs can be hard, he always tells me he's had a good day when he gets picked up. The staff are very attentive to my obvious anxiety about how he's been and give me or my husband a daily debrief. This nursery is just the right size for us - not too
big, not too small, with lots of play space and outdoor time. We will be hoping to send our younger boy there, too.

Thanks for sending us your review. It's lovely to know your son is having a "good day" and settling into the nursery. It's great to know that the staff are reassuring to your needs also and are able…read more

My daughter loves attending Nursery on the Hill and always comes home full of stories about her day. The nursery takes the children to local parks, shops and events, which is a great experience; they even get on a train to go to the pet shops! The staff always go the extra mile to provide what's best
for the little ones and are easy to communicate with!

I am very happy with the nursery. My son loves to go to nursery, and he enjoys every moment there. The staff are amazing, and I am pleased with the nursery. When he started, he did struggle but once settled, he enjoys it there.

My son started at Nursery on the Hill in June 2020 and we could not have asked for a better nursery, he has loved it from the start! The staff are all amazing with the children and go above and beyond with their care. The communication is good with regular updates on Tapestry as well as email communication.
The range of activities is great with themed days and meals, and the trips out are also very well organised.


The fresh and varied food is always enjoyed by my little one and overall he is so happy there. It’s a lovely community of parents too, very glad we got a place!

My eldest son had a brilliant experience at Nursery on the Hill so we knew it was the perfect place for his younger brother who started in the baby room in February 2022. The staff are caring and friendly and my boys are very fond of them.

From the outset, Nursery on the Hill has been a wonderful nursery to send my little one to. The staff are caring and reassuring and provide a happy and fun environment. The setup of activities is excellent, with a lovely library and garden activities. My little one loves to go and often forgets to say
goodbye to us whilst toddling in for breakfast.

Nursery on the Hill is an exceptional nursery. The staff are kind and approachable and are so engaging with all the children. My son has loved attending this nursery. He has learned so many new skills through the cleverly thought-out creative play the nursery provides. The nursery has helped build my
son’s confidence and fully prepared him for starting school next year. Nursery on the Hill comes up with unique and innovative ways for the children to play and use their excellent facilities to their full advantage. I could not be happier with the service they provide.

Nursery on the Hill (Enfield) Ltd delivers a wonderful homely feel and outstanding care for my daughter. Every day the nursery is set up with exciting activities inside and out from a roleplay beach holiday corner complete with real sand and shells to a water play station, a DIY area with hard hats
and mountains with fairies, horses and knights. Then there's Forest School, toddler yoga and music classes. The staff are all so attentive and caring, it's wonderful to know she's in good hands and learning something new every day.

As someone who has managed nurseries before, I was a tad picky when selecting a nursery for my daughter. Nursery on the Hill is like leaving your child with family, but family that create an amazing learning environment and play areas. Their arms are always open ready to greet my daughter and they make
both of us feel at ease. They also get my daughter eating things that no amount of "bribes" would get her eating at home. This alone is a winner. So thank you for making this transition to nursery rather wonderful

My child had already attended this nursery for a year and has enjoyed every single day. He has grown in confidence and has made lots of lovely friends. As a mother I am completely confident that my child is happy and safe in this beautiful setting and we look forward to another year at Nursery on the

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Nursery on the Hill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.866 for Nursery on the Hill is calculated as follows: ( (325 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.866
  2. 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 Nursery on the Hill 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:

    1. 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
    2. 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
