Review from Nadine K (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 4-year-old started in the preschool room with Ashbourne at Oxley Park in late August 2020. I have been absolutely blown away with the place in all honesty. From the menu to the staff, his key person and the 'open door' approach from all staff but especially the manager and 3 members of staff in particular.
My son is so happy there and is always coming home with details of his activities and adventures from that day. He settled very quickly and formed attachments to staff just as quickly. His needs for outside time is met regardless of the weather too, which was very important to me. Staff have bent over backwards to accommodate my son and his additional needs including his effortful swallow and the medication needed for that. I know he's safe, well looked after and loved. That for me is everything. Thank you girls so much.

Ashbourne Day Nursery at Oxley is a very good nursery. The staff are very lovely and dedicated to their jobs. Even during the pandemic, they worked tirelessly to provide a normal and fun atmosphere for the children. My daughter started attending the nursery when she was 9 months. She was very attached
to me and I was very nervous about going back to work and leaving her at nursery. Fast forward 3 years later, my daughter is very happy at this nursery. She has blossomed into a confident child and I thank the lovely staff at this nursery for this. And now I am happy for my 6-month-old will be starting at the same nursery.

My daughter has been attending Ashbourne Day Nurseries since she was 2 and a half and is now in the preschool room. She loves going to preschool and I love hearing about all that she has done in her day. Be it painting, counting and her ABC to playing with babies and hairdressing. Being an only child,
her interaction with other children is a big part of her development and to hear her talking about her friends and the ladies that are encouraging her to play with other fills my heart with joy. I also have to praise the team for all the extra hard work they have to do in these current times, to keep our babies safer than ever.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm a father of two children that have attended your Oxley Park nursery, one of which is still currently with you. Our son moved to first school September 2020 and his transition was made a lot smoother with massive support from the nursery send-co, she ensured the school knew everything there was to
know about my son and that measures were put in place to make sure he settled with ease. Our daughter attended from September 2020 and couldn't be happier, she has settled well and is achieving beyond her age. On collection, the staff will give me a complete break down of her day with an added personal touch and not just your standard "been ok today". During the pandemic, the nursery have put their all into keeping the children and nursery safe and their standards have never faltered we are regularly updated about the changes in government guidance via social media, newsletters and Eylog which puts my mind at ease knowing my child is in a safe and secure environment.

My child has been attending Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park since they were 9 months old. He loves going to Ashbourne, he has lots of friends and has good relationships with the carers. His learning and development has come on leaps and bounds and I believe this is due to the activities and teaching
provided by the nursery. This year he will be leaving to start school. I believe the nursery has hugely benefited him and the social skills he has learnt will be a huge support when he leaves to settle into his new school.

Myself and my little one felt very welcome at the show around. Little one has settled so well and the team have been amazing. Little one loves going and handover is easy he’s always happy to go in.
He’s done amazingly and his speech has come on since joining.

Review from Krishna M (Mother of Child) published on 7 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Ashbourne have been amazing over the last few months. My daughter came back to nursery in June after being closed due to Covid, and the care for her has been exceptional. The staff have been really attentive, understanding and supportive. She is always happy to go in when we drop her off.
The individual staff members seem to really know her, her interests, likes and dislikes which gives me huge confidence. She's moved rooms and been potty trained during this time - which has been handled really well by her keyworker staff.
My only comment would be that the staff need cleaners so they are able to focus on the children and activities solely. Also, the meals served are great but it would be great if there was more variety with the pudding - not necessarily all sweet. Great offering of fruit always.
Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this nursery, they've been looking after my daughter since she was 1 year old and seeing her develop and have fun there is just great!

This nursery has been a godsend for me and my son. I have no words that could describe how amazing it has been, especially the manager. I will never forget how the team supported me and my son. He did well there, and I couldn't be happier.

It has been more than a yr now. I have seen my daughter growing in this nursery. The Ashbourne Day Nurseries is 2nd home for her. All the staff are very friendly and caring. She has joined in baby room it took some months for her to adjust but now I can say she has grown up to a very confident baby.
She interacts with her friends, eats herself, communicates perfectly, expresses her desires, she is happy to be at nursery and what not. I am truly grateful to the Ashbourne Day Nurseries team for taking care of my child and making her so confident and strong. They perform various fun time activity games helping children to interact with each other. This is a fantastic nursery and it helped to build a strong foundation for my baby. I would recommend it to my fellow mates.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started attending this nursery as of the beginning of January. My daughter was a bit unsettled to start with, however the nursery were extremely accommodating and allowed my daughter to have extra settling in sessions to make sure she was completely settled in before starting which was amazing!
My daughter settled in so quickly and now waves goodbye to me in the mornings. I receive frequent observations to let me know how she is getting on with her development and get daily diaries to show me what shes been doing during the day. When picking her up, I see her eating her meals with her friends which is lovely to see and I can see that they are given a balanced and healthy diet. They also offer so much messy play which my daughter loves! I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Both of my children attended this nursery and the staff are absolutely wonderful and made me and my children feel very welcome, When starting the nursery the staff settled my children into the routines of the nursery and my children loved coming every morning and loved all the staff. We used to struggle
getting our son to eat meals but when he joined the nursery he enjoyed meals that the chefs there prepared. Unfortunately, we had to leave due to moving away but now we are coming back to the area and my son is really looking forward to attending the nursery again.

My daughter started attending Ashbourne Day Nurseries while only 6 months old. I was very worried then, but I was impressed with the standard of care and love at Ashbourne, such that my fears quickly vanished. It has become my daughter's second home. The staff are very friendly and pays attention to
each child's needs. They make my daughter and every child special.
There are a lot of activities for learning and varied fun activities. At 2, my daughter has learnt a lot, including counting 1 to 10, naming colours/animals and so much more. It is a place full of love, learning and lots of fun!

The staff are amazing at helping my daughter settle each morning as changing rooms has not been easy, they do all they can to make her happy which means I can leave knowing my daughter is ok. Some evenings she does not even want to come home. She has made such great friendships with the staff and other
children. I'm so happy my daughter goes to this nursery, she loves Christmas and the disco. The staff do so much and more.

My son has been attending Ashbourne since he was nine months old. The staff have a friendly warm welcome attitude and I feel my child's development, health and well being is always priority. There are always lots of fun and exciting activities and its refreshing to get observations of whats been happening
during the day/week.
I like that they celebrate lots of different holidays and cultural days and events and that my son is learning another language - Spanish.


Well done.
Keep up the good work.

I'm really glad I placed my daughter in the nursery. She learns such a lot and has loads of fun. She eats lovely nutritious meals and has come on leaps and bounds with her potty training due to the excellent and very knowledgeable staff. I love reading about what she's been up to on the EY Log. Management

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.174)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.174) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 5.000 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 5
  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 4.174 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Oxley Park is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 107 number of registered child places is 21.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.4 = 0.374
  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.
