Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool provides a warm happy and homely environment where the top priority is to have safe contented children. The nursery believes the service should be about making friends and learning through play in a home from home with kind and caring adults for support.

Hadden Hill has excellent facilities indoors and owners are particularly proud of the big outdoors space which has specifically been designed with very small children in mind. A great emphasis is placed on spending lots of time outside in the fresh air and the team use both the indoors and outdoors to deliver all areas of the early years curriculum to a high standard.

Professionals constantly strive to give children memorable experiences with exciting opportunities to learn through play that they might not always be able to do at home and of course give them the opportunity to make some of their first friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son really enjoys preschool and is always excited to see his friends and teachers, he enjoys all the activities and comes home telling me everything he has learnt. He especially enjoys being outside in the garden. I have seen him grow in confidence since being in preschool and all the staff there
are brilliant.

Hadden Hill is a fantastic nursery with really caring and helpful staff and a large indoor and outdoor plays areas. My child has been there since he was a baby. The staff helped us set a really effective routine for him and I've been amazed at how he has developed and thrived in the 2 years since. What
I really appreciate is how they balance structure with free play. It doesn't feel as clinical as some other nurseries.

We have been attending the nursery since February and we couldn't be happier, my daughter loves her keyworker and all the staff, who she has bonded with very quickly. This is testament to their enthusiastic, warm and caring nature. We really like the outside space on offer, which she loves. The meals
on offer are excellent, with regular reports of 'everything' being eaten. I would highly recommend this setting to anyone.

The staff at Hadden Hill Nursery and Preschool were so warm and welcoming to myself and my daughter. They were fantastic at settling my daughter into nursery life. It's lovely to see how comfortable she is in the nursery and how she has gained confidence and many new skills in such a short space of
time. My daughter now waits at the front door excited to leave to go to the nursery.

Everyone at Hadden Hill Nursery is amazing, they go out of their way in every way possible. The children love them and they help so much in their development. It really is a home away from home.

Our daughter loves coming to nursery and I couldn't be happier with it. The staff are so compassionate and everyone knows our daughter. The staff are so compassionate and everyone knows our daughter, the care is really personalised and they always let us know what she's been doing. They cater really
well for her vegan diet and always give healthy, nutritious food which she enjoys.

My son moved here from another nursery and we have never looked back.
They have focussed so much on his development and getting him ready for school.

Fantastic, my daughter is learning a lot. Maths, counting, her speech is coming on so well. Practicing phonics with her. Staff are so helpful and supporting both parents and the child. Teaching her name and to write it. It's a fantastic nursery I'd recommend to everyone. Thank you so much.

Hadden Hill staff are wonderful with our son. He transferred to the nursery in September as a 2-year-old. The transition was made really smooth and he was supported with any 'emotions' that he felt about the new environment. They have progressed his speech and language significantly; we cannot stop
our son from singing the alphabet song at home!


Thank you for giving our son a 'second home' and making his learning experience such a varied and fun time.

The nursery we have found to be extremely friendly and child centred rather than a business. It is a great place for our child to come as he enjoys this time here and talks about staff and activities they have done all the time.


Really pleased we found a place for him here.

Love this nursery and the staff at the baby room. They are always very helpful and they did a brilliant job with separation anxiety my baby had for a few months to help him grow out of this stage.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.587)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.587) out of 10 for Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.975 for Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975
  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 4.612 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool is based on 10 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.75
    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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.862
  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.
