Nurtured @ Packmoor staff are fully committed to providing a ‘home from home’ environment for children to enjoy. The setting welcomes children from 3 months to 5 years old and aims to provide all children with high-quality care in a warm, safe and friendly environment with a variety of stimulating resources.

The nursery has an enclosed garden with safety flooring and a variety of age-appropriate outdoor resources. The nursery also has a CCTV system installed throughout the premises.

The staff follow the 'early years foundation' stage framework to support early learning experiences, and this is backed up with lots of practical hands-on activities for children in all age groups.

However, they are about more than just covering the curriculum; it’s about teaching children to share experiences and building confidence.

Staff hold appropriate early years qualifications which give children the care and inspiration needed to thrive in a rich and fun learning environment.

The nursery cook prepares freshly cooked meals on the premises daily. Individual dietary needs are also catered for.

All staff are trained in paediatric first aid, food hygiene, safeguarding, manual handling as well as plenty of other ongoing training to support the delivery of the 'early years foundation stage'. This ensures that parents have peace of mind when leaving children in the nursery. The nursery also participates in the 'Stoke speaks out', communication and language screening program.

The nursery has strong partnerships with parents and staff keep parents updated about each child's day on a daily basis.

Funded places are available for 2, 3 and 4 year old’s.

Abacus will provide all children with the opportunity to make friends and gain the confidence to make the move up into the first year at school and beyond.

My daughter has excelled tremendously at this nursery. Her confidence has grown, her social skills and talking are brilliant and she is learning new skills and activities each day she attends. The staff are wonderful. They're informative, calm, friendly and clearly love and care for each child that
attends. They've catered to any requests I have made for my child. My daughter was nervous when she first started but absolutely loves attending now. It's such a lovely setting with wonderful staff and I can't recommend them enough. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddaughter attends this nursery and I honestly can't speak highly enough of it. The staff are absolutely wonderful, caring, patient and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming and safe. The team do such
a fantastic job creating engaging activities that help the children learn while having lots of fun. It's lovely to see how excited my granddaughter is to go each day, and how much she has grown in confidence since starting here.
Communication with parents and family is excellent, and it's clear that the children are truly valued and nurtured. Knowing she is in such capable and kind hands gives our whole family real peace of mind.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and enriching environment for their child

Nurtured at Packmoor has been amazing so far for my little boy.
Since joining at the beginning of the year my son has improved in so many different areas.
The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do and treat George like one of their own.
George has
taken an extra liking to Jemma who is always so caring for him.
We're so grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, friendly, and professional setting for their child.

** - Exceptional Care & a Home Away from Home!**
I cannot say enough wonderful things about nurtured at packmoor From the very first day, we knew we had found the perfect place for our child. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and truly love what they do. Every morning, my little one is excited
to go, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing they're in such capable hands.
The facilities are always clean, bright, and welcoming. The toys and activities are not only fun but educational, and it's clear the nursery has a wonderful balance of learning and play. I love that they incorporate both structured activities and outdoor time, ensuring the children get the best of both worlds.
The communication with parents is excellent! Whether it's updates throughout the day or monthly progress reports, I always feel involved in my child's experience. And the staff are always available for a chat

My daughter started in September, she absolutely loves the nursery. The staff are wonderful and always go above and beyond, making sure she was settled before officially starting and keeping us updated throughout the day now she has started. The app is great and it's nice to be able to see what she's
been getting up to. The variety of food is amazing and if there's plenty of options every day.
I am so happy I chose this nursery for her, I cannot fault it in any way!

I am really happy with the care my daughter receives at nursery. With support she has settled well and is welcomed with open arms every morning. At pick up times we have updates on how she has been throughout the day and we have weekly updates with pictures through the app. The variety of food is good
and the equipment/ learning is great!


As a parent I cannot fault the nursery with the support they show.

I've chosen this month as this was when our daughter first came to the nursery.
This was her first time in a nursery setting as I had to go back to work after maternity leave.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure that she settled in and didn't rush her.
She has come on in so many different
ways, social, emotional and physical. The staff always have different activities for children to participate in and they always encourage the children to join in. Also, the dietary requirements are always catered to.
If I was to have to choose a nursery setting again I would definitely use this nursery.

I am so happy with this nursery, I have sent both of my children. The staff are so friendly and caring towards the children. And a special mention to their SENDCO who is a credit to the Nurtured@Packmoor team.
Another mention is for the manager, who is so approachable and supportive. I am a firm believer
that a manager thats positive creates a happy work force which radiates on through the children.

My daughter is due to start in a couple weeks, from my first enquiry email, this nursery has been very efficient and welcoming.


The viewing session was well ran and provided me with lots of information about the schedule, types of activities and food. I feel confident that my daughter will be well

looked after and will love it here!


Thanks to all the staff so far for making this experience so easy!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Packmoor 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.937 for Nurtured @ Packmoor is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.937
  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 Nurtured @ Packmoor is based on 28 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 28 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.
