  • The Brampton Day Nursery, Huntingdon
The Brampton Day Nursery is located on the High Street in the picturesque village of Brampton.

It provides high-quality childcare in a welcoming, stimulating and caring environment.

The nursery building provides a home from home ethos and each light and airy room is equipped with natural furnishings to a very high specification for the individual age groups they provide for.

It supports children’s interests using the Early Years Foundation Stage and Schematic Play and underpins all care and learning using the Characteristics of Effective Learning.

Staff place high importance on open-ended, heuristic resources and each room is equipped to reflect this; they pride themselves on a child centred and creative curriculum.

At The Brampton Day Nursery, staff are extremely passionate about outdoor learning and endeavour to spend a large part of the day outside; this may be in the impressive nursery garden, where they use "forest school principles" or on a walk in the local area.

Review from Fi I (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the nursery since he was 6 months and I have found the nursery to be outstanding. The baby room is managed by a mature and highly experienced room leader, who ensures that they are cared for thoroughly, either sticking with a routine that you want or helping you get them into one.
They help fully with the transition from milk to food. The children are taken out daily for walks and the garden area is complete with Forrest school, huge sand pit and mud kitchen. A wide range of activities are available inside also with regular parents evenings. The management are very hands on and approachable. My son has now moved to 2-3s room which offers multiple activities which are always imaginative and creative, the staff are amazing and give you excellent feedback on a daily basis.


Overall excellent nursery - The warmth and experience of the staff make the place. The only negative comment I have is that there shouldn't be an extra charge for dropping off before 0800.

The Brampton Day Nursery was my first choice in the Huntingdonshire area. The welcoming atmosphere and clean and safe interior set The Brampton Day Nursery head and shoulders above the local competition.

Review from Lindsay (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very pleased with this professionally run nursery. Our child is always welcomed by name when they arrive each morning. The outdoor space is interesting and has various zones to provide a range of outdoor play activities. The food is good, which goes down well with our little boy after rushing
around outside. The tone of the staff handover at the end of each day is always positive. The children are gently guided towards behaving well and therefore the atmosphere is welcoming and safe. The turnover of staff has been a concern of ours in the past. But the staff have always been excellent. Also, this seems to have settled down in recent months and the nursery has got better in communicating staff changes. The owners have clearly invested in the facilities in the last few years and the children have gained more space to play indoors due to this. We chose this nursery for the 'Forest school' approach and we are very happy with the caring and personal service they provide.
Reply from David Wiggam, Director at The Brampton Day NurseryThank you for your honest comments. Establishing the right staff team to offer the child-led approach to learning and development we aim to provide has meant that there have been more staff changes than we would have wished for. Happily, we now have the correct people in place, which is evident from the stability the staff team now enjoys.

This nursery is brilliant for my son - he absolutely loves his time there and they have a wonderful ethos and facilities. I particularly like their approach to discipline with talking through difficult emotions and sensory supervised timeouts to help the kids chill out and understand their own behaviour.
The amount of time they get to spend outside is also great.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for The Brampton Day Nursery 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.964 for The Brampton Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.964
  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 The Brampton Day Nursery is based on 21 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 21 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.
