We chose Edwalton Day Nursery for lots of reasons but where they consistently show themselves off to a higher standard than other nurseries we saw is around health, safety and security and hygiene. These are the foundation blocks I needed to see in place before I could feel confident in letting someone
care for my child.

My daughter has settled in really well thanks to the lovely staff and the effort of her key worker. She always comes home happy and a bit mucky (sign of good fun) having eaten all the delicious food she is given. It's fabulous at the end of the day we get a report of the day she has had. She has always
done lots of lovely activities, staff keep me up to date with progress and the parent zone app and the entries on that are lovely.

The staff at Edwalton Day Nursery are excellent and have provided superb care and learning for my two children. I have great faith in the management and any issues raised have been addressed swiftly and to our satisfaction.


The facilities are fantastic and the recent re-decoration really brightens

up the rooms. The trips, summer fate and Christmas party are all well attended and links to local schools are strong.


Thank you very much.

Very professional staff. Very comfortable leaving my child at the setting. My child is engaged and happy. Her speech and language has greatly improved along with her social skills, therefore, I feel that my child is fully prepared for school. Staff communication is very good. Staff are very friendly
and approachable. Fantastic experience all round.

To everyone at Edwalton Day Nursery, just a short note to say thank you for all of your involvement in caring for my child. He has truly had an amazing time and has thoroughly enjoyed himself. This is a result of your hard work, each and every one of you, to create a culture which is loving and caring
and nurtures every child. We are truly grateful that he has been able to and been encouraged to be him, his curiosity continues and his time here makes us smile every day.

Edwalton Day Nursery has exceeded my expectations. All of the staff are superb and my daughter has made an evident bond with the staff. I would highly recommend this nursery. They have a lot to offer the children here, rooms are full of activities and everyone is lovely and friendly. Edwalton Day Nursery
has helped my daughter from 9 months of age. She is now a happy confident toddler! Thank you Edwalton Day Nursery.

The day nursery has been a fantastic place for my son to begin learning. He loves the place!! The amount of progression he has made in such a short space of time has been overwhelming for us. The staff are all great and the interactive parent zone is a great way of showing what he is doing during the
day when we are at work.

I have been really happy with the pre-school room at Edwalton. Every member of staff is fantastic and they all bring such different skills to the role. My son loves pre-school. The staff really care about their jobs. I get detailed feedback every day regarding my child. The staff go above and beyond
what is expected of them eg helping parents with party invitations and responses, holding parents evening and catch ups whenever requested. I have seen such a big development in my child since he has been in pre-school.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery and settled straight away when he started and during his recent transition to the next room up.


The staff are welcoming, approachable and it's obvious they enjoy their jobs.

Our experience of Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) has been very positive over the last two and a half years. Our little boy is settled there and his development has progressed very well. I like the fact that there is a room for each age group rather than grouping them together (a 2-year old has very
different requirements to a 3-year old). The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating and it's possible to talk to them if you have issues. General communication is good.

All the staff at Edwalton are truly amazing and the care that they show to the children is second to none. The activities each day are varied and stimulating and my two children thoroughly enjoy their time here. They eat healthy nutritious meals which just makes life so much easier for busy mums. I
would highly recommend Edwalton, it's a fantastic nursing place.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our daughter's keyworker recently decided to move to a new room and we have been really pleased with the way the situation has been handled by her, their new keyworker and the nursery manager. The manager took the time to sit down with me and discuss the situation face to face. We selected my twin's
new keyworker together, although it was nice to know that the new keyworker had requested to have them in his group. The next morning, he had moved their pegs to his area and was prepared to have them. Lovely!
I also wanted to thank the receptionist and kitchen staff for being so supportive when I arrived unexpectantly 1 day. I thought I'd booked them in for an extra session and hadn't. Despite the girls having special food requirements, all the staff rallied round and took the girls in for the day.
This was so important to me as my mum, who has the girls on Tues/Weds normally has been ill and juggling day care has been such a challenge too. Thanks.
I also wanted to highlight the qualified practitioner in Bumble Bees who dressed my twins up and accompanied them for their nursery photos. We are so pleased with the results. Thank you.

We have just had our second child and the team at Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) have been amazing about preparing our first child for the change - from sourcing books about babies, new siblings etc to encouraging our child to talk about how he felt about the new arrival to producing artwork about
her. The staff have been great at helping us manage the transition - I've been really impressed and I am very grateful.

Both of our children love this nursery and have settled in well. They have food allergies which have been accommodated fantastically by the kitchen staff - nothing is too much trouble and every effort is made so that they don't feel left out. The teachers are lovely and all know everyone by name. Our
favourite part of the nursery is the garden - it's fantastic and the children get to spend lots of time out there.

I love the variety at this nursery. Staff are very experience and responsible to comments. Great outdoor space which I think is so important. I like the mixture of male and female staff, and that they are not all the same age!
The extra stuff like ballet and french lessons are fab and the trips to
the panto etc. are brilliant.
The flexibility with 'swap days' is very much appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 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 4.905 for Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.905
  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 4.795 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edwalton Day Nursery (Nottingham) is based on 14 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.795
  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.
