Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son loved his 3 years at Henry's Kindergarten. He made some lifelong friends there, learnt lots, developed and had lots of fun. The key workers are all amazing and really care for all the children. The management always answered queries and do what they can to adjust attendance patterns. I found
the nursery really flexible and a great place for my son to attend. The outside space is fantastic and was a real key selling point for us as our son loves being outside, burning off lots of energy and exploring.

Staff turnover is high. The whole place is just run down and tired and that could be said for the remaining staff too. My child was there for about 18 months and I saw a steady decline over this period, so much so we decided to move schools. It's the best thing we ever did. Parents are scared to speak
out unless they lose their place as there are few options locally.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is currently at Henry's and my daughter left a year ago. We couldn't be happier with the nursery.
The staff are helpful, efficient and so kind and caring with all the children. I initially felt worried about leaving my daughter at nursery all day when I went back to work, but I can honestly
say as soon as she started and I saw how well she was looked after at Henry's, I wasn't concerned at all.
Henry's has some nice facilities with a lovely nature garden and outdoor space for each of the classes. They also are able to use the school playing field when it is not being used by the school- my daughter still talks about running around the huge field as one of her favourite things she did at nursery.
We feel really lucky to have found such a lovely nursery for our children and can't recommend it highly enough.

My son has been attending Henry's for almost a year.
The staff have been fantastic, my son's development has vastly improved. His speech is coming on leaps and bounds and he is starting to become more receptive to trying new foods.
The facilities are great, so much to do and explore. My husband and
I feel that the nursery is the perfect setting for young children and if we were ever to choose a nursery again it would be Henry's.

Thank you for your kind review. It has been a pleasure watching your son grow over the past year and we look forward to spending another year with him before he heads off to school.

Henry’s has been a perfect start for our son initially starting in Little Bears and now moving to Big Bears. He has thrived in their friendly setting. Staff are welcoming, kind and professional and dealt especially well with the recent challenges this past 18 months. We were recommended Henry’s by a
number of other parents and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

Due to lockdown, my 11-month-old has not had much time away from me. Henry’s have been great at reassuring me that she is ok as well as settling her in and caring for her. All of the staff are friendly and professional. They keep me updated throughout the day through their app. I could not recommend
them more.

Thank you for your review and I'm pleased to hear that the settling in procedure and the updates through our app have helped to reassure you during your daughter's journey with us so far.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Henry’s for the past 3 years. The staff have been absolutely amazing. They provide age-appropriate activities while also giving children the space and time to explore and learn for themselves. They provide regular updates and photos on what my daughter has been doing which is
important to me and lovely to see in the day when I’m at work. The care and support that the staff show to the children is so natural and my daughter has the biggest smile when I drop her off every morning. The meals and snacks provided are healthy and varied and the team have been excellent at adapting the menu to suit my daughter’s needs. I have been so pleased with Henry’s and I will be sad when my daughter leaves in a few weeks time.

A lovely nursery, with extremely friendly and caring staff. The outside spaces are brilliant, and they are out playing in them all the time. Both my daughters go here, and neither of them has once cried on drop off, which is something unheard of and a testament of how much they love their time here.
The staff show endless dedication, care and support for my daughters' wellbeing and development and create a lovely, fun and warm environment for the children. There have been some niggles over the pandemic, which is no surprise, but the key workers have done an amazing job keeping everyone happy.

I have a son and daughter at Henry’s and they both absolutely love it. The staff are always welcoming and care so much for the kids. I was so worried about my lockdown baby starting nursery in such difficult times but right from day one she bonded with the staff in mini bears and really loves her time
there. There have been a few staffing issues this year but it’s unprecedented times for everyone so I can’t hold that against them. The main thing is that they’ve always had the welfare of the kids as their main priority and my two have not really noticed all the changes happening around them. I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery, we love it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is coming to the end of an amazing four years at Henry's which he has hugely enjoyed and where he has thrived. He has received such love from the staff there who we will really miss. The activities they make up for the children are fantastic, the grounds are amazing, with a nature wood, playground
and huge big field. He is now ready for school with the nursery putting in a great effort with his writing, numbers, drawing and maths. His key workers have been fantastic throughout. He has sailed in every day with a smile and always comes home happy. As a parent having a child who genuinely enjoys his time at childcare is what you really wish for and in our case, this has happened for him at Henry's. Thank you to everyone at Henry's - would highly recommend it.

Nursery spaces are very small and outside activities are not offered daily. The nursery does not offer full-time care, selected hours only. Staff changes frequently and you may be handed over your child by an unknown person. Nursery management incapable of providing a structured and organised environment.
Billing often erroneous. Charges apply for inset days and during the lockdown.
If you look for a good nursery, you will find a good alternative locally.

Thank you so much to his keyworker and the team in little bears. My son has developed in confidence hugely since being with you and he’s learned new skills. We are delighted he’s made friends and thrilled to bits that he gave his keyworker a massive hug on his way in this morning. We’ve loved seeing
photos and videos on the app too - really reassuring. A fantastic nursery, thank you so much.

We moved our child from a nursery we were unhappy with, to go to Henry's instead. Henry's, from the outset, was amazing and we have since sent our second child. Both have excelled in confidence and run into Henry's every morning very happy kids. We wish we had chosen Henry's from the beginning, she
staff and facilities are excellent and everyone is known by name - kids and parents!

We have been delighted with the level of care given to our daughter. Staff are always positive, cheerful and work hard. My only concerns are that some meals do not seem very appealing (as commented on by nurse staff! E.g. Bean dip for tea). Children's cubby holes do need cleaning. There has been quite
a lot of changes to staff resulting in our daughter's key worker changing quite a few times over the past 6 months.
These are all very minor things and the general day to day care at Henry's is brilliant - thank you to all staff!

Henry's is a very friendly nursery, where staff are very competent and really care about the wellbeing, learning and evolution of children. My 18 months daughter started at 6 months and she has always been very happy with staff's attention and activities and has formed strong bonds both with staff and
children. She loves going to nursery and is constantly nurtured and stimulated to learn and enjoy with a wide range of activities.


They also put a lot of emphasis on contact with nature and parents are well informed about children's daily activities through an online app and handover forms. They also make efforts to cater for parents' and children's' needs (e.g. dietary requirements). I would happily recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Kings Burrow Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.825 for Kings Burrow Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.825
  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 Kings Burrow Nursery 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:

    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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
