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 4.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool for nearly 3 years now. She absolutely loves going to school and the staff are lovely, always taking her needs into consideration.


Her confidence has grown since being with the preschool class, this is due to her amazing teacher that works

so well with the children. Her keyworker really is a credit and our daughter's development has been amazing since has been there. A great asset to the school!!

My son has been coming here since August when he was 8 months old. 2 years later and he is excelling in his development and I can only put it down to support and teaching of the staff at the nursery. He comes home talking about his day at nursery and mentions staff like they're his friends. I know he
really enjoys it.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool. She really enjoys playing with the other children and adores her keyworkers. I have seen her develop and acquire new skills since she started. She gets so excited to come to nursery each day. Thank you for the excellent job you
all do.

My daughter has benefitted a great deal from her experience at Hadden Hill Nursery and is always happy to go to nursery and to be collected.
She is a lot more advanced than other babies/toddlers of a similar age.
The Room Leader has been a great second Mummy to my daughter as are all the girls who
look after her.

Me and my son are always greeted by big smiles and friendly staff who make the separation easy with little distress.
The facilities always look clean and to a good standard.
At the end of the day, picking my son up, he always has had a full day with lots of different activities and been provided
with a good diet.
The staff always inform me of his day down to the last detail.
I am very happy with the service.

I have used Hadden Hill Nursery for nearly five years, first with my eldest but now my youngest attends.
The staff have always been polite, professional and caring.
My daughter loves going to nursery and as a parent that is important to me as she is contented and feels safe in her environment.

My son has always been happy at nursery, returning worn out from all the activities. Whenever I turn up I am always happy with the activities he's engaged in, quality of food he's eating and the attention/care he is receiving from staff. I particularly like the amount of time they spend outdoors.

Since my two children have been coming to Hadden Hill they have been really happy and have settled in really well. I feel confident that when I leave they they are in safe hands and are looked after really well. I get told about the fun day that they have and communication is excellent.

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.
