The nursery is such a fantastic homely setting, we really couldn't be happier! I have 2 children and my youngest still attends. He has come on in leaps and bounds since starting and I can tell that the planning really reflects both his development and interests and also his next steps. The Aunties are
absolutely amazing and he is always so happy and content around them.
His recent comment sheet was perfect and it's nice to see next steps that we can also reflect on at home. Can't thank you all enough.

We couldn't be happier with our experiences of Hazelwood Nursery. The excellent team are all so friendly and attentive, our little girl settled in really quickly and is extremely happy there.

Can’t recommend this nursery enough. My son and daughter have both attended since being 8 months old and are now in Hazelwood Schools Out Club which they thoroughly enjoy.
We were instantly made to feel part of the nursery family, and still feel part of it now.
The best start to my children’s lives!

Our son attended nursery up to school age and now attends the Afterschool club. Nursery were fantastic in preparing him for the transition to school. We've been very impressed with the many varied activities the nursery offers. Our son loved his time at nursery and now enjoys attending Afterschool
club. He still fondly talks about his time at nursery.


Our daughter now attends the nursery and the staff have been wonderful in settling her in. She enjoys many varied activities and enjoys trips out in the local community.


We would highly recommend the nursery, we always know that our children are extremely well looked after in their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Hazelwood nursery for the past three years and I would strongly recommend this nursery to fellow parents. It is a nursery that has a lovely, warm and welcoming feel to it with caring and attentive staff. My son has very much flourished during his time here in relation to all aspects
of his development and especially in areas such as increasing his self-confidence, his emerging knowledge of the world, attention given to phonics, preparation for starting school and developing strong relationships with his peers. He runs into nursery every morning excited about what he will be doing in the action-packed days planned by the staff and the activities are very much reflective of the early years foundation curriculum. In particular, my son is experiencing some difficulties in his developing speech and the staff have been attentive in their assessment of this and have facilitated a referral to appropriate agencies as well as supporting related activities to this during nursery time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Hazelwood since she was 10 months old and is now 4. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery. It's a wonderfully warm and homely environment.
The nursery offers such a variety of experience and my daughter does so much more in a day at nursery than I could ever offer
at home. The staff are super organised, they treat each child as the individual they are and they work incredibly hard.
My daughter has a great little gang of friends (she includes 'the Aunties' in this) that she has moved through the nursery with, is stimulated and curious and I think that by the time school comes around she will be well prepared (although very reluctant to move on).
The kids eat very well at nursery and get regular fresh air and exercise. My daughter's key workers are stars, obviously know her very well and probably don't realise just how much they support me as well as my daughter! I can't thank them enough for all they have done for us. I will weep when she leaves!

Our son attended Hazelwood nursery 1-2 days a week between 2012 and 2016 (from 9 months old up to school age) and now attends the Planet Vibe club during school holidays. Both facilities are excellent and - in my opinion - the staff are the best in their field. Our son loved the nursery and is always
excited to attend the club. The fact that so many children remain in the nursery right up to school age (rather than transferring to a school nursery) and continue to use its after school/holiday club speaks volumes about how great it is! Hazelwood is really something special. The management and dedicated staff team run a very smooth ship - I'm always so impressed by how well ran and organised it is with excellent safeguarding for the children in their care. I have recommended the nursery & club to many of my friends as I can't speak highly enough of it. We feel very lucky to have such a fantastic facility on our doorstep.

My daughter has attended Hazelwood Nursery since she was 8 months old. The staff always make myself and my daughter so welcome each day she is there. The activities are varied each day based on the EYFS and there are always two activities which are ‘Child initiated’ daily.
We have just attended their
open day which was fantastic. It was so lovely to see some of the activities my daughter would be involved in and you could clearly see the staff ‘Aunties’ work so hard at their jobs and enjoy what they do. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Hazelwood Nursery for three years now since she was 8 months old. I have never been anything other than delighted and impressed with the care she has received during this time.


There is a real family feel to the nursery, which is one of the main reasons we chose Hazelwood.

The nursery staff are called "Aunties" making them feel like an extension of the child's family. The nursery is within the grounds of a converted house, which again helps to create a 'home from home' feel, especially important when your child is going into daycare early on.


Even though we recently moved out of the area, we didn't change to a closer, more convenient childcare provider, but made the decision to continue sending our daughter to Hazelwood as it simply exceeded all the other daycare options we had seen.


I can't reccomend them highly enough and will be incredibly sad when my daughter leaves for primary school this year

My son has been going to Hazelwood Nursery for a year and a half so far - he loves it! The staff are kind, caring and knowledgeable on the needs and development trends of babies and young children. The standard of care is very high and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to others.
I enjoyed
seeing my son in his first carol concert at Christmas and taking him to out of nursery time events. An example is the recent Spring Time Extravaganza where there were lots of activities including a mobile farm where the children could pet the animals. The nursery recently arranged for some owls to visit the children and also a delivery of eggs so the children could see them hatch!
The nursery is keen to take part in charity events such as Children In Need and Jeans for Genes.
This is a friendly and welcoming nursery and I am glad my son has had the opportunity to have a place here.
Thank you to all at Hazelwood!

Hazelwood Nursery has been fantastic with both of my boys since the ages of 10 months. They settled in well and loved all the staff. The activities they do with the children are fantastic and the staff are very friendly and tailor everything to each child's individual needs. We have had to leave the
nursery due to moving to a different location and I am distraught and struggling to find a nursery where my kids are happy and the staff are so attentive just like at Hazelwood Nursery. I would highly recommend Hazelwood Nursery as it is a lovely family run nursery and not a big chain.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are attending nursery only once a week, but even from that short time spent there can't praise it enough!
My daughter started going to Hazelwood Nursery in September 2015 when she was about 14 month old. We were offered the settling down period which lasted about a month. LO was very curious about
the whole thing, the nursery building itself, new toys, activities. She started feeding independently observing other children do so.
Aunties (that's how the nurseries staff are called, which is lovely) were very welcoming and were giving her a lot of reassurance all the time, also keeping up our regular routine (bottle feeding, dummy, sleep times).
They have sensory activities, story time, outdoor play, they go for a strolls in the buggies sometimes. They paint, do a messy plays, etc. Aunties are so loving and caring, they always give a cuddle to those children who are poorly. And they always tell how your child been today, how they ate and what they did. Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.981)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.981) out of 10 for Hazel Tree Montessori 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.981 for Hazel Tree Montessori is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.981
  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 Hazel Tree Montessori is based on 22 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 22 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.
