Sandhills Day Nursery is absolutely amazing. I could not ask for a better group of people to support my child. They are so accommodating and truly wonderful. My daughter loves going to the nursery to see her friends and also her amazing teachers.

Attentive and professional staff who really get to know the children as individuals. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they keep you informed about all progress and developments.
It’s a safe, inviting and stimulating environment, and they plan a range of activities appropriate to the individual
child’s age and development stage to engage them.
The catering provided is also exceptional, and my son absolutely loves his meals there!
Cannot fault them at all.

I’m very satisfied with the staff and attitude of my son, he is happy to go there, and I see that he has learned a lot through games; even if in the begging he didn’t speak and understand English, now he is much more confident thanks to the very kind staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started nursery in January 2023, and we were extremely anxious about his transition into nursery, but everyone at Sandhills ensured it would go smoothly. Every staff member in the Squirrels room has always made us feel welcome; it's such a friendly environment. One lady has also been such an
incredible help to him. We are so grateful we chose Sandhills for his nursery; it suits his needs perfectly. It's lovely watching him walk into the nursery excited for the day to start! The building itself is always clean and tidy. I'd recommend Sandhills Day Nursery Boston to anyone looking for a nursery!

Sandhills Day Nursery Boston is just amazing! Such good care of my little boy! You can see the staff really care and want the best for each child they look after! The communication is exceptional! My child is always clean, happy and healthy! He has developed so much from being at nursery and having
such good peers as the staff looking after him. They work so hard and deserve great recognition! It’s not an easy job, any of it!
I highly highly recommend Sandhills Day Nursery Boston! Great team!

I’m overall very happy with the learning and development my child receives. The staff are so caring and have a passion for what they do; they are all very welcoming and friendly. My son loves it; he even has become very attached to certain staff there and children and is always talking about what he
has done throughout the day. Keep up the fabulous work.

I moved my son to this nursery after hearing great recommendations and also after speaking to the staff about my concerns and seeing how they would support my son. I can not recommend this nursery enough! My son loves it, and I love it too. The teachers are amazingly thoughtful and always hear everything
you have to say. My eldest just graduated nursery and had his last night, and we both had tears in our eyes! My youngest will be joining in January without a doubt!

Absolutely love Sandhills. My child is really settled and is happy to go to nursery. All the staff are happy and polite and show a real interest in what they do. There are loads to offer at this nursery with a big outdoor space and with the trains that go past, my child loves it. Couldn't ask for a

We have found the nursery and workers to be very supportive and helpful over the past few months especially. When well enough to attend nursery, she has had loads of fun with the activities and learning through them too, she especially loves the activities outside in the garden. She loves the food and
has a good variety of meals.

Review from Lucy T (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been attending this nursery from 9-months-old, and from the get-go, he's settled in amazingly. The staff are amazing and were very welcoming when he started. Every day he's at nursery, I get snapshots on my app, so I know what he's been up to. Staff always makes sure they update the
app regularly too, and there are never any communication issues between staff and I (a mother) which is great. My son is always beaming from ear to ear when he gets picked up, which shows he's had a good day. He'd often come home with all sorts of stuff he's been doing like colour or painting, which is lovely. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough; they are everything I expected them to be, and more; they always listen and follow routines, and never fail to tell me if the day was a bad day, which is rare. They always ensure that your child comes first, and that's exactly how a nursery should be.

I can't speak highly enough of Sandhills Day Nursery (Boston). I have two children there currently, three and just turned one, and an older child who attended for 2-years. My children all settled in so well and so quickly. They enjoy school, and I have never had a problem or a single tear with them
going. And that's all down to the amazing care they receive; they feel safe and loved. And I wouldn't want anyone else looking after my children. A massive thank you to all of the staff!

My son loves attending the nursery and asks most days if he is going. His speech has come on so much, and I think this is down to the nursery staff helping him. He brings a picture home most days which he is always proud of, and is always singing songs that he has learnt at nursery. I couldn’t be happier
with the service.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Sandhills Day Nursery Boston 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.957 for Sandhills Day Nursery Boston is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.957
  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 Sandhills Day Nursery Boston is based on 25 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
