Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
So happy with this lovely nursery. The staff have gone above & beyond in supporting my child with his needs and they are always so cheerful, helpful and positive. My child loves attending and we feel confident leaving him knowing he's safe and nurtured. The snacks and dinners provided are nutritious
and varied, and the fees are reasonable and great value for what is included.
The manager is very approachable, she is really understanding and kind. Thank you to all the staff at Ashbourne, we really appreciate everything that you do!

Our daughter has been going to Ashbourne day nursery at Alfreton since Jan/Feb 2025. She has taken a lot of settling in but the staff couldn't have been more accommodating to helping her and us as parents. Regular updates and reassuring us. She is provided with lots of play opportunities, eats nutritious
meals and I genuinely feel the staff care about her and her well being. We massively appreciate everything they have done over the last 9 months and know they will continue to provide exceptional care in the coming years as she progresses from babies to toddlers and preschool. Thank you for being so patient with our baby.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son started at Alfreton in January 2025 and has settled in really well and taken to all the staff who have been really lovely and accomodating.
The communication via the app can sometimes not be updated and as a parent it is important and reassuring to know how our son is getting on throughout
the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been coming here since June 2023, and she loves it!
All the staff are amazing with her, even from day one, when she cried when left.
Now, she goes in without looking back.
The manager is very accommodating with requests and always helps as much as he can.
Our daughter has so much
fun some days she doesn't want to leave.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sons loves coming to the nursery and has taken a shine to all the staff, he's made tonnes of friends and tried new foods, he also learns new things everyday. He loves the arts and crafts they do with him and enjoys playing outside with his friends. The staff are very caring and look after him exceptionally,
they always make sure to call if there's an incident even if its minor which is great.

Excellent nursery, my son loves attending daily, staff are always welcoming and friendly, staff keep you up to date on what my son has been up to and what he has played with ect, they also do occasional fun days where parents/carers are welcomed to join them in an activity. The inside and garden areas
are excellent with a very good variety of toys and games for children to choose from.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.558)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.558) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Alfreton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.783 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Alfreton is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.783
  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 3.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Alfreton is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.275
  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.
