Aunt Mary’s is a fantastic nursery. The staff go above and beyond to care for my son. He comes home beaming from ear to ear. The nursery caters to every child’s needs and never fails. They take the children on walks into the dell regularly allowing them to explore, climb and run! My son always looks
forward to attending Aunt Mary’s.

I can’t speak highly enough of Aunt Mary’s nursery, the staff are absolutely brilliant, I have recently given birth to my second child, and toddler room staff have gone above and beyond to support not only my daughter but myself through the transition. They have given helpful tips and advice where appropriate
but also have provided me with a listening ear when things have been tough. I love sending my daughter here, knowing she is in safe and caring hands. She always comes home absolutely filthy from playing outside, or going on walks, or crafting, it is always the best sign when their clothes are mucky from having fun all day, my daughter is always beaming and excited to tell me about her day.

The aunties are all lovely and have been looking after our daughter for four months or so now. It is lovely that our daughter comes home and she has either learned a new word, action, dance, etc that she has picked up from Aunt Mary’s nursery.

My son loves coming to this nursey, he's become more confident and outgoing since starting here. He's always on little adventures into the dell and exploring nature which he loves. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. Management are always accommodating and flexible if days and hours need
to be changed which is really helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3-year-old has been at Aunt Mary's Day Nursery for 7 months and has loved it since day 1. We love everything from the drive down to the beautiful setting each morning to the brilliant handover at the end of the day. She's always got lots to tell me and I'm really happy with the amount of outside
time, adventures in the Dell, and the amount of painting and drawing she is able to do. Her eating has improved this last few months thanks to nursery and she's much more open to trying new foods at home now too which has been so helpful. The staff are all incredible and it really does feel like a family. I'll be sending my youngest there soon and feel grateful I can do so in full confidence knowing she will love it too and will be well cared for by the lovely staff.

Aunt Mary's Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery set in a fantastic location. The staff are all friendly and supportive and have nurtured my son from age 2. My son will be finishing in August to start school and he will miss each and every one of the staff. His walks throughout the dell are incredible,
providing him with fresh air and incredible views and scenery. The homemade food and the variety of food to choose from has given him a good appetite and he has learnt everything he needs to know and is exactly where he needs to be for starting school. A big thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Aunt Mary's Day Nursery from 2015-2017. He had previously been with a childminder but he came on leaps and bounds once at nursery and he really came out of his shell. My son has SEN needs and although undiagnosed at the time of nursery, the nursery was fantastic with him. After the wonderful
experience I had with my son, my daughter now attends. As many will understand, lockdown had an effect on my daughter's development (not being able to go out and explore and meet others as we usually would etc) but coming to nursery really allowed her to interact with children her own age and learn things that she wouldn't necessarily learn at home. Before starting nursery she was extremely reserved and wouldn't talk to anyone outside of the immediate family, now she doesn't stop and I genuinely believe that nursery had a huge impact on that. She has also begun exploring new foods, something that I've never been able to get her to do at home. I would 100% recommend the nursery!

My daughter has been at Aunt Mary's Day Nursery for eighteen months now and absolutely loves it, when I pick her up she always has a big smile on her face and usually a big hug for the staff members. The team have supported me with sleep, toilet training and general advice, we work in partnership on
any milestones we need to reach which is great. They are very flexible with hours and usually accommodate changes I need to make with hours or days due to work commitments which often isn’t the case with nurseries and of course, it’s in the middle of a nature reserve so the kids are getting experiences in nature that you wouldn’t be able to get at most nurseries. She will be devastated to leave when it’s time for school!

My daughter absolutely loves it here. We couldn’t imagine sending her anywhere else. As soon as we get out of the car and she can see the nursery she has the biggest grin, claps and says ‘there’ she is 14 months old and as soon as she sees one of the staff she wants to hug them and immediately waves
goodbye to me. Varied menu that we know ahead of time. Our daughter can’t have dairy and they’ve been great at accommodating for this.

My son started at Aunt Mary's Day Nursery about two years ago, and we are gutted that his time there is now almost over. He settled in incredibly quickly, which was no mean feat for a child who up to that point had spent about half his life in lockdown. The aunties are, without exception, all incredibly
kind, friendly, welcoming and supportive. My son loves coming home and telling us about what he’s been up to, and it’s clear from his tales that the children are all treated with love and respect by all members of staff. He loves the meals he’s served and is now a lot more open to trying new foods. His special dietary needs are always catered to. The office staff are professional and approachable and have always gone the extra mile to be flexible when we’ve needed to change plans. The setting of Healy Dell is idyllic and is the perfect place to take little ones on adventures in the woods. I’d definitely recommend Aunt Mary's Day Nursery to anyone looking for a friendly, welcoming nursery for their child.

My twins have attended this setting since around 6 months old and the quality of care has been outstanding throughout, from staff communication to flexibility, professionalism and stimulating play and outdoor fun for the children. They go on regular outdoor walks exploring the beautiful nature reserve
and surroundings, staff always add pictures and observations of this and other developments through their tailored family app, couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

My child has been attending this nursery since last year, I'm so glad I chose Aunt Mary's Day Nursery as I can always see how happy my child is, other parents also comment on it. My child is developing so well due to learning new things and being supported in developing at the right level, and I'm always
amazed when the aunties do focus child weeks as my Child is coming on leaps and bounds due to the care the nursery provides.

We were recommended Aunt Mary's Day Nursery by our friends who had a child there. The setting is amazing and very accessible now the road has been made good. Although aesthetically the building interior could be and is planned for improvement, it is functional. However, we have never had any concerns
over the happiness of our children whilst at nursery. They have always been happy and content on drop off and pick up. The 'Aunties' provide care and constant activities for the children. Thank you!

My daughter was very shy when she first came and the staff were brilliant they have made her a confident little girl. All the staff are incredible and every time I drop her off I know she is in safe hands. I always get advice on anything I need so helpful. My daughter has come on with her language,
counting, shapes, animals she has learnt so much. The food is outstanding she enjoys her meals very healthy. Having more children this has to be the best nursery I've found and I'm glad my little girl goes, excellent through and through.

The staff at the nursery are great! The location of the nursery is ideal for the kids to go out and explore the nature reserve. It's great to see staff members with great care and knowledge, interact, teach and have such fun in their job roles while looking after my daughter. The nursery is packed inside
& outside with all sorts of toys/opportunities for activities. I wouldn't have my daughter anywhere else as the staff members my daughter and I have come to know and trust are awesome! Keep up the great work guys!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two-year-old daughter started at Aunt Mary's in January. The induction and settling days were great and the staff very welcoming and helpful. We chose Aunt Mary's for its superb location and being close to home. Once we viewed the nursery, the small setting and warm, welcoming, happy environment
made our minds up that it was the nursery for our daughter. She attends two days a week and looks forward to it all the time, she's not a shy girl but nursery has definitely helped with her development and relationships with other children and the aunties at Aunt Mary's. Also, the aunties were fully on board with toilet training her and I believe with their help in promoting her toilet independence, along with us doing it at home, it has helped her become almost fully toilet trained. She talks about her days at nursery when she's not there and when she comes home from nursery. I just love all the new things she is learning at Aunt Mary's and activities she is doing and enjoying. Thank you Aunt Mary's.

Our little boy attends Aunt Mary’s nursery since September 2018. There are many obvious reasons why we’ve chosen this place for our son to attend, and as it stands now, we weren’t wrong to do so. This place is not only magical due to the location, but due to the staff, which made this place so special.
They are not only dedicated and supportive, but they love what they do and that’s why our son loves this place so much. His development is amazing - every day he would surprise us with something new. He loves to tell us what he was doing all day with aunties, and all those stories are full of different activities every day.
Couldn’t be happier knowing that our baby is having an amazing time, learning new things and making friends all thanks to Aunt Mary’s family.
Thank you for all your help and support Aunties and for looking after my whole world while I’m at work.

My 2-year-old has attended this nursery since she was a small baby. She has specific dietary requirements and allergies which Aunt Mary's staff adhere to seamlessly with no fuss or bother. My daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery and it is wonderful to drop her off knowing that she is happy
and cared for whilst she is there. The facilities are brilliant for the children, from babies to school years and the staff are just amazing. Caring and enthusiastic about learning and playing, and lots of cuddles when needed! (Very important to me!) I love that she can safely play in the dell with her friends and Aunties. My son also attended this nursery when he was little (now in high school) and I am over the moon that it is still the same great staff caring for my daughter who cared for him... that's when you know it's a good one! Thank you to Aunt Mary's! Fantastic nursery!

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.280)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.280) out of 10 for Aunt Mary's Day Nursery 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.917 for Aunt Mary's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.363 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aunt Mary's Day Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.238
  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.
