Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is fantastic, they allow children to be children knowing that they have the support and guidance of adults. All activities are child lead and the staff are fantastic at responding to the children's ideas. You never see a member of staff who is not happy to help. I wish I was a child so
I could go here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending The Nest Nursery since September 2015 and he absolutely loves it. He can't wait to go back the next day and his development is amazing to observe. He has come on in leaps and bounds since starting nursery and has acquired daily life skills which we, as working parents, cannot
impart easily. We love the setting, we love the outside space, the warm happy atmosphere and the staff are great, quick to help and incredibly accommodating with regards to special requests - and we've had a few.


We would absolutely recommend The Nest Nursery at Wood's End to any parent.

Excellent, welcoming nursery, with great facilities. Healthy meals given daily. I've seen my son grow and develop whist attending The Nest Nursery. He enjoys his days at the nursery and has a good relationship with the staff and other children.
He is comfortable and happy in the nursery which is reassuring
for myself. The nursery have a great outdoors area which is used daily. My son is a huge fan of this. All the staff are friendly and approachable.

Review from Laura M (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Initially my daughter was about to start another nursery however I was not pleased/happy with her going there. I was aware of The Nest Nursery Wood End as my best friends children went there. I made contact and from the moment I walked in with my daughter I was instantly made to feel at ease with a
warm friendly environment. My daughter at the time found it very difficult and stressful being in a new environment and socially with people but all the staff at The Nest Nursery Wood End were so supportive and let me do loads of settling in sessions in the summer with her and to take out time settling her in where other nurseries I viewed I feel didn't see the importance of this. My daughter has been at The Nest Nursery Wood End and she's like a changed child!! She's much more confident around people, social situations and her speech and confidence has really grown! It's a lovely environment, big garden and they tailor to every child's individual needs. Cannot recommend The Nest Nursery Wood End, Thank you! xx

Staff were again accommodating in forms of our work commitments. Our son's needs were identified and met, working with us as parents to ensure consistency of learning both at home and nursery. Consistent and clear feedback continually.

All the staff at the nursery are friendly and very caring towards the children. The children do different activities each day, plus eat well and my son always seems to have seconds.
My son enjoys going to the nursery which is all that matters and also proves that the nursery fills all capabilities
for the children.

Review from Kerlisha D (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has being attending this nursery since last year September (2015). I must say I am very impressed they are attentive and caring. My daughter loves going to nursery, her key worker is very good. She went on her first trip to the Sealife centre which she loved.


My daughter is 16 months

old (she is in the baby room) they teach the children from a young age educational facts such as sign language, singing/musical instruments,cooking, exploring outside in the garden, interaction with others/objects, painting, etc.


Food wise I take my hat off to this nursery as they cater for a wide range of dietary requirements and take the time out to ask questions.


The staff are very professional and are always at hand. They keep you up to date with your child's progress verbally, child's personal diary and on a tapestry (tapestry is a online journal where staff and parents can post pictures of their child only you and the staff members can see these pictures as well as being able to make comments a bit like a private forum).


The price is average, could be worse but this is a great nursery with lovely staff!!

My son is very happy in the nursery. He enjoys all outdoor activities, Forest School and secret garden, there is an individual approach to every single child. We enjoy to have an access to tapestry. The online system which provide us with all important and interesting information about activities in
the nursery, they publish pictures and put descriptions.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.904) out of 10 for The Nest Nursery Wood End 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.954 for The Nest Nursery Wood End is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.954
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Nest Nursery Wood End is based on 18 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 = 3.95
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 18 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.
