The Nest Nursery Lime Tree provides a gentle, nurturing environment where babies and young children can thrive through discovery, play, and exploration. Designed to feel like home, the nursery offers a calm and supportive space where children from birth to four years old are cared for by experienced practitioners who prioritise emotional security, connection, and individualised care.

The Nest Nursery features soft, cosy spaces, soothing natural materials, and responsive care that supports their early development. Sensory experiences, gentle interactions, and an unhurried approach allow little ones to build confidence as they explore the world around them.

With a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, children of all ages can enjoy the nursery’s beautiful garden, as well as Forest School adventures in the nearby Edgbaston Reservoir, a stunning natural area. Fresh air, movement, and hands-on exploration help children develop their curiosity and connection with nature.

Nutritious homemade meals, freshly prepared by the nursery cook each day, ensure children enjoy healthy, balanced food that fuels their growth and learning.

Review from Katie (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lime Tree Nursery is a fantastic place for any parent to place their child. My daughter started in the Ladybird room at the start of 2015, four days a week. From day one the staff there could not have been more helpful and caring. My daughter felt happy and settled straight away. Everyone that works
there is friendly and they all know my daughter by name. The staff in the Ladybird room make her day there fun and interesting, whilst making her feel safe and confident. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, especially to parents who are nervous about leaving their child for the first time. Lime Tree staff will try their hardest to make your child feel at home and are always happy to discuss every aspect of your child's care.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) out of 10 for The Nest Nursery Lime Tree is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.983 for The Nest Nursery Lime Tree is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.983
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Nest Nursery Lime Tree 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 10 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.
