Absolutely amazing! So happy with Kirby Muxloe, could not have put our son into a better nursery. They look after him so well, well fed, well entertained and well engaged. Nothing is too much hassle and feel completely at ease when we drop him off knowing he is happy and will have a fab day! Huge thanks
to two particular members of staff especially who have cared, loved and nurtured our son as if he were their own. He will miss you all a lot as he now is embarking on his next journey at school! Thank you Kirby for everything.

The nursery is excellent. It’s well-led, and the staff are engaging and experienced. My daughter loves going to nursery every day, eager to run through the door. They do lots of different activities, and she has developed confidence and skills in so many areas. They are great at supporting dietary requirements
- with attention to detail to get it right. All the staff interact with all the children.

My son has relocated to Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery in Jan 2024. The nursery staff have helped with settling him into the nursery. He absolutely loves going to the nursery and he loves taking part in all the activities at the nursery. The best part for him is playing in the garden. His key workers are
always on hand to help and enjoy the different variety of food at the nursery.

Both my children currently go to Kirby Muxloe Nursery - my son is moving into the nursery room and my daughter is in the baby room and they absolutely love it! My daughter’s confidence has grown significantly.
The staff are absolutely brilliant, you can see how much care and attention goes into everything
they do for the children. They always tell us all what they’ve been up to throughout the day and my son is very excited to tell me little snippets of his day! They do a lot of singing at nursery as they seem to can’t wait to sing to my husband and me when they get home.
The staff are very good at continuing what you do at home- ie, using keywords, sleep patterns, use of dummy etc.
The meals are well-balanced and both my children enjoy them!
I have done and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent nursery for their little ones.

Kirby Muxloe Nursery has/continues to be fantastic. I chose them for my first child because of the family feel of the place. I will also be sending my second child there this year as that's exactly what I've got from them since day one. They engage the children in fun and educational activities daily,
and their outdoor area is dreamy. All the staff members are lovely and a delight to talk to. My child is very happy here.

The best decision so far to put my 12 month son into this nursery. I was very anxious about leaving my son; however, the staff made me feel so comfortable and made me feel that it was normal to feel like this. Watching my son grow and develop has been amazing. Look forward to watching him grow further
with the nursery.

Love the staff at Kirby Muxloe, all are very caring and attentive to the children. Hate that there is no intercom associated with the front door, which can result in time wasted while standing out (I know it's not the ladies' fault as they are looking after the kids), but it seems ludicrous in this
day and age, such a simple system cannot be implemented to save the time of nursery staff coming down to let you in, and of parents trying to get home.
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds being the care of all the ladies, who have interacted with her and will always be grateful for that.
Keep it up all!

My son loves going to Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery. He has progressed through all the rooms and has enjoyed his time throughout. The staff are really lovely and caring and support both his learning and behaviour. I think he will be sad to leave in August but I know his time there will have set him up perfectly
for the next stage. A huge thank you to the team who work very hard to ensure the children have fun in a safe environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended for two years (joining in the summer of covid) and we've been extremely happy with everything.
Through covid, short staffing, bad weather, hot weather and no doubt a million other things, they managed to retain a safe, happy place for my son.
My son had a few key workers as he moved
through the age groups, all hugely influential on his life and one that he wanted to be his second mummy!
I'm sure this is the same as all the other reviews so I would like to give a massive thank you to the cook too! My son was an accomplished soup eater at 3! He loves curry now, risotto and salad. I can't convince him on guacamole but the food is varied and interesting and full of nutrition. Well done.

The staff in the baby and toddler room have been excellent at helping our twins settle into nursery life, after having very little interaction with people prior to joining due to lockdown. We really feel that the staff know each child very well, which makes leaving them every day much easier.

Our son has been going to this nursery for around 2 years now and we can honestly say that he has thrived because of it. All of the staff have been warm, friendly and attentive to both our son’s needs and our needs as parents, particularly whilst navigating covid procedures. Each room he has been in
(based on age) has seen him learn and develop in new ways and now he is in the preschool room they are paying particular attention to activities that will prepare him for starting school.
Our son loves going to nursery, has formed special bonds with many of the staff and has made lots of friends. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others and we have just enrolled our daughter to start there later in the year.

My eldest child went to Kirby Day Nursery and my youngest still attends there.


My child loves nursery and tells us lots about the things he's done each day.


Unfortunately, he does have a hard time saying goodbye to Mum or Dad at drop off and can often be quite upset. The team at nursery are

great at dealing with this at the point it occurs but also working on strategies with us too try and make this easier for him and we are seeing a great improvement.


Their love and care for the children is evident to see and I feel very happy knowing my children are being well cared for and having fun whilst learning.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.512)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.512) out of 10 for Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.823 for Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.823
  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 4.689 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kirby Muxloe Day Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 45 number of registered child places is 9. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.889
  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.
