My child has been attending The Nest Nursery for over two years now. It took a while for him to settle down, to begin with, but the stuff nurtured him so well, now he loves going to The Nest. I really like their curiosity approach, and they use natural resources, and they show us that anything can become
an amazing toy. Also, the food is prepared at the site, and he loves eating their meals! I am very happy that he attends The Nest Nursery! Thank you.

My daughter started the nursery when she was 13-months-old only. It’s like a second family, she loves the staff and the atmosphere. My daughter made good friends already, and she couldn’t stop talking about what the have done all day, all the dancing and the baking. The management team are great, and
they would go the extra mile to sort out any obstacles. I couldn’t ask for a better and safer place to look after my precious baby!

My daughter loves The Nest Nursery; she's always happy to be dropped off in the morning and comes home in a great mood. The handoff is always full of details about her day, the staff really go the extra mile to talk, you can really see their bond with the children. I love the curiosity approach the
use of natural materials for play and encouraging the children to follow their interests is great. The little cakes and things that come home are always very welcome and a fun insight to their day.

Our daughter has attended The Nest for the last 3-years, and she absolutely loves it. She is so confident and happy, and we are extremely impressed with her development. The staff go out of their way to make the children feel safe and are really invested in their development and future. We get regular
updates on how our daughter is progressing, and we feel engaged in that process. We know that our daughter is really happy at The Nest, and it shows when we collect her how chatty and smiley she is, having had a great day with her friends.
We are so grateful to all the staff at The Nest, the dedication and care they put in are extraordinary.
We would absolutely recommend The Nest.

Copper Beech nursery is a wonderful place. My son absolutely adores going here.
Sending your child to a nursery in “normal” times can be a difficult enough process, but when you’re in the middle of a pandemic, it can increase your anxiety somewhat. However, this nursery made the transition seamless
and feels so safe.


This nursery is like an extension of your family, which is so important when you can’t get to see your own family.
We loved the curiosity approach and the access they have to real objects. It was really important to us as parents that they spend a lot of time outside too.
The food is fantastic and freshly prepared onsite. They also cater really well for any food allergies.
The staff are incredible and always take the time to give you a thorough overview of your child’s day. The love, care and nurturing they give the children is so natural. Thank you so much.

My son has been attending this nursery for over two years. He absolutely loves it there because of the various wonderful activities that he is engaged in throughout the day. The whole ethos of this nursery is amazing, and that is reflected in my son's development and learning. The staff are wonderful,
and we are always at peace knowing how well he is being looked after there. When we pick our son up, he is always happy, smiling and in great spirits, which is a credit to everyone working there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I got recommended The Nest at Copper Beach by a friend after I’d mentioned how outdoorsy my little boy was. She mentioned how they focused on the curiosity aspect of learning and the natural themed environment would be a perfect setting him.
So I took the chance, and I was instantly in love with their
curiosity approach and the nursery’s aesthetics.
The staff are super caring and understanding and nothing was ever too much trouble.
My little one settled in, and over time, just couldn’t wait to go again and again.
I could leave knowing my child was happy and learning new things whilst being under the best care. The activities he does are engaging, appropriate and fun.
It’s been wonderful to see him grow in confidence and learn new skills.
The communication with staff is outstanding, and I can’t fault their level of care and attention to detail. I know 100% that I made the best decision for my son. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough!

We really couldn’t have wished for a better start in life for our son. He started at The Nest when he was one and he’s now almost ready to start his next adventure into school! We have felt secure, reassured and supported throughout his time at The Nest, and particularly during the difficulties of the
last year! Our son has grown in confidence with the encouragement of the caring and sensitive staff! We love that the setting is small enough so that every member of staff knows our son and that he feels happy to go with whoever is at the door that morning! The curiosity approach is child-centred and really encourages creativity, it allows our son to find his own interests and bring them home! We are going to feel like there’s a huge hole missing when he leaves, we really feel like part of the nest family!

The Nest Nursery Copper Beech is such a wonderful nursery. My little boy has been attending for just over a year now, and he is doing so well. The staff are all fabulous, and it’s a very low turnover of staff, which speaks volumes for the quality of care the children get.
I really like the curiosity
approach, and I feel it’s helped bring on my child’s creativity and imagination.
I’d highly recommend this nursery!

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Both my children have attended (son 9) and my daughter aged three is currently there. The staff care and love for the children like they are their own. I had to put both of my mine in at 6-months to return to work, and I’ve always felt comfortable leaving them
so young as I know how well they are being looked after and the fun they have. Plus, the communication from nursery and the lovely pictures they post throughout the day on Facebook, brighten up days at work! I love what they have done with the curiosity approach, and they have handled covid amazingly and kept some sense of normality for the children in these strange times. She will really miss nursery when she starts school in September, and all the staff, as will I.

Our daughter has been attending The Nest Nursery for over a year after being with a childminder. The difference in our daughter is night and day, she has grown in confidence, in particular her social skills. She thinks of the staff as her friends and often refers to them as such. She has built up a
good circle of friends, enjoys the activities, the food and always comes out at the day's end, visibly buzzing and happy. I wholeheartedly recommend The Nest Nursery.

We just love this nursery! Both of my children attend and they both love it. All the staff are amazing and we love the fact that they follow the curiosity approach. My eldest does forest school as well with them which she loves. They have been so amazing and accommodating throughout this pandemic -
I can't thank them enough for providing a stable and safe environment for my children in times of such uncertainty. I highly recommend this nursery, it's been worth every penny and more.

My child has been going to the nursery for around 5 months and she loves it. The staff are are brilliant and they have made so much effort to get know and form a bond with my child. I have also been so impressed in the curiosity approach. It creates such a wonderful place for young people and focuses
on all the things that I value in our family. As much as possible the nursery supports the children to spend time outdoors, explore sand, mud and water and when they are indoors they do a lot of singing and musical activities. They also have brilliantly high standards of food, giving the children nutritious meals every day, and overall their standards of care are excellent. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery more. My son has been going for a year and a half. He is so well looked after. The staff are lovely and form really strong bonds with the children and there seems to be a very low turnover of staff too. The curiosity approach is great and creates a calm and stimulating
environment for the children, so they learn to play and use their imagination rather than just be ‘entertained’. My son has additional needs and the nursery SENCO as well as his key workers have been outstanding and making sure his needs are cared for. It’s so difficult for any parent leaving their child for the first time but they made it so easy from day one. My son has developed so much since restarting nursery after lockdown, and he missed it so much when we couldn’t go. The food is incredible - it is all freshly prepared and my son eats foods he turns his nose up to at home! To sum up; it is a happy, caring and loving environment with outstanding staff. Definitely recommend!

It has been such a comfortable experience sending our daughter to nursery here. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and are happy to chat and put your mind at ease and offer plenty of support tailored to your child.
We also love that the nursery follows the curiosity approach, our daughter isn't
bombarded with plastic toys and is encouraged to play outdoors with natural resources.

My two boys both go to Copper Beech, one is 4 and has been going since he was 10 months and the other 20 months and started at 11 months. Choosing to send the boys here is by far the best decision we have made for them. They both love nursery and all of the staff and the way they encourage them to play
through exploring shines through at home too.
The garden is a huge hit with both boys and they love all the time they spend outside.

We recently started with The Nest and have been very impressed with the nursery. Our son has settled very quickly and we have noticed a real positive change. He is more independent and loves to be outside exploring. The Nest's curiosity philosophy is great and the information we receive on tapestry
has given us some really helpful parenting tips. Overall, we would highly recommend The Nest and the lovely nurturing care the staff provide.

The Nest Nursery has been perfect for us over the last three years and provides a really friendly and supportive environment. All the staff are fantastic - genuinely caring for my son’s development through encouraging curiosity, music, stories and play. They also offer him kindness and a hug if he’s
not feeling up to much at the start of the day. We get regular updates on how he’s progressing at the end of each day.
There is also continual development in the setting, bringing as much nature as possible inside and encouraging the children into the garden when the weather allows. It really feels a home from home which puts my mind at ease leaving him there while I’m at work.
Highly recommended and we’ll miss the Nest when he leaves to start school in September.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for The Nest Nursery Copper Beech is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.942 for The Nest Nursery Copper Beech is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.942
  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 Nest Nursery Copper Beech 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 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, 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.
