Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are really pleased with the care and support provided to our son at the nursery. He has developed so much since joining and really enjoys being there every day. The staff are kind, caring, and attentive, and it's clear that he feels happy and secure in their care. We really appreciate receiving daily
photos of the activities, which gives us a wonderful insight into his day and shows just how happy and engaged he is. It's lovely to see how much he learns while still having fun. He also loves the food provided, which gives us great reassurance. Overall, we are very happy with the nurturing environment and the positive experiences he is having at the nursery. Thank you very much!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since there has been a change in management we have seen a huge significant improvement in the nursery. My baby has settled well and his development has really come on since he started. The nursery really embed the key person approach and my baby has formed such a good relationship with his key person
who knows my baby so well. Through this smooth transition it has been a huge help in the process of him joining the nursery. But the whole team also need credit. They are all warm and welcoming and happy to chat to you about my baby and his development and give a good detailed handover at collection. It's so reassuring my baby is being well looked after at nursery and helps me know that my baby is in the best care.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe and warm nurturing environment.

My daughter has been attending nurtureville for the last 18 months and she absolutely loves it. She has come a long way and made lots of friends. She can be a little shy but this has helped her come out of her shell. Thank you for taking such good care of her!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been attending this nursery since the age of six months. We have been always happy with the care provided to my child in different stages as a toddler. My kid grew up happily in this place and there was always positive interaction with the staff members. There was good flexibility in booking
slots on an urgent basis and the staff were able to accommodate different requests.
We noticed our child is happy to attend the nursery, enjoys learning new skills and playing in a well-supervised environment. I would strongly recommend this place, a safe and nice environment for a toddler to spend time in.

Review from R W (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Our son attended Nurtureville for a year. There were many things we weren't happy about (ambiguous and inconsistent temperature policies, chronic staffing instability, constant change of key persons, limited fresh food /lots of processed, wellbeing of nursery pets, activities repetitive and unchallenging)
but our son seemed to be settled and we wanted to avoid further disruption for him - he'd bonded with the staff. However we withdrew him following signs of poor emotional wellbeing and amid several Ofsted complaints and inspections. We spoke to them about our concerns, and still felt we had no confidence in the leadership and management of the nursery. It's not the first time quality and consistency of provision has been an issue, it seems a sticking plaster approach where things get better for a year or so then go back downhill. There were some nice staff working there, particularly the younger team members who we imagine could have bright futures in childcare. But not at this nursery.

Both my children attend and absolutely love it. The nursery is fairly small and it’s reassuring to know all the staff who are so friendly, caring and down to earth. I have no hesitations leaving my children here. The menu is varied and the open-door policy with the manager is really helpful and personable.
I have no hesitations in recommending and would definitely suggest going for a visit. You will not be disappointed if a 'home from home' feel is what you are after!

Nurtureville in Loughton has without a doubt exceeded my expectations in all areas. I enrolled my son in their baby room in March 2023 and they have been brilliant. They offer a wide range of activities to the children throughout the day, eat healthy freshly cooked food, all areas are always spotless,
clean and tidy and most importantly my son is very happy there. He has settled in very quickly and formed bonds with staff who I can tell really care for him. I am always feeling confident taking my little one to nursery because I know that he will be looked after, loved and happy.
5 stars to Nurtureville Nursery at Loughton!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our nine-month-old started Nurtureville at the start of 2023 and so far we have been really happy with the nursery.
All the staff are really happy, enthusiastic and welcoming. They go above and beyond in communicating what my baby has been up to that day. We receive updates in person, over tapestry
and in her daily log book.
The activities vary every day which is important to me. Activities include being outside reading books, inside playing with playdough, in a ball pit, playing with sensory toys, lights, bubbles and a lot more. The baby's room has just undergone a refurb and feels fresh and cosy, we love that the room is carpeted! The staff have done a really good job at aligning my baby's routine at the nursery close to what we do at home which is also very important to me and my partner. The variety of fresh food offered is also brilliant. Overall, really happy. Thanks Nurtureville team!

Fantastic nursery. Our daughter has been incredibly happy there for the last 2 years even with a few changes in management. The team are very kind and caring, they do great activities for the kids and it really is a home from home setting. We are incredibly thankful for the work everyone has put in
recently and everything everyone at the nursery does for our daughter. I highly recommend.

Fantastic nursery where the development and well-being of children are clearly the top priority. Staff go above and beyond. There were some staffing issues in spring 2022 which have now been resolved and the team and nursery seem stronger than ever. Loads of fun activities to keep the children entertained.
Good communication with parents in form of a monthly newsletter, daily picture update, and even the occasional parents' evening. Happy to recommend.

Both of my sons attend Nurtureville and they are both happy and thriving. There was a period earlier on this year when there were a lot of changes and staff issues but new management has really turned it around. The new staff seem happy and are very friendly and I feel the children are well looked after,
fed well and given plenty of fun activities throughout the day.

It is rare to find a nursery that you can genuinely call a home away from home but that is exactly what Nurtureville has been for our child over the past few years. The staff are absolutely brilliant and we have been so impressed by their diligence, good humour and care - they really do prioritise the
best interests and welfare of the children over everything else. Thank you Nurtureville for all you have done to help our daughter develop and flourish.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.289)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.289) out of 10 for Nurtureville Nursery & Preschool Loughton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.639 for Nurtureville Nursery & Preschool Loughton is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.639
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nurtureville Nursery & Preschool Loughton is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75
  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.
