Exceptional Care & Growth - Ashbourne Nursery is Unmatched!

Ashbourne Nursery has provided truly exceptional care for our autistic son. From day one, their expertise in SEN support, compassion, and tailored approach helped him settle, thrive, and find joy in learning. They don't just meet needs-they
anticipate them, creating a safe, stimulating environment where he feels understood and celebrated.

Their team's patience, proactive communication, and genuine warmth have been transformative. Daily updates and creative strategies (sensory play, calming techniques) show their dedication to his progress. Watching him grow socially and emotionally has been incredible.

For parents seeking inclusive, heart-led care, Ashbourne sets the gold standard. Forever grateful!

Trust, care, progress-they deliver it all.

A Wonderful Nursery Manager
Truly an exceptional nursery manager. She always has time for the children, making each one feel valued, safe, and supported. Her warmth, kindness, and dedication shine through in everything she does. No matter how busy she is, she never hesitates to get down to the children's

She also creates a fantastic environment for the staff, fostering a positive and supportive team. Her leadership ensures that both children and staff thrive, making the nursery a wonderful place to be. Her passion for early years education is evident, and the impact she has on the children and their families is immeasurable.

Outstanding Nursery - Highly Recommend!
This nursery has been absolutely amazing! The staff are incredibly nurturing, and the facilities provide a warm, safe, and engaging environment for children to thrive. They looked after my daughter for four years, and I couldn't have asked for better care. Even
now, I continue to support this nursery at a community level because of the incredible work they do. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a loving and supportive setting for their child.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for over a year now. She absolutely loves it and so do I, every single time she comes out her speech has developed even more as the weeks go by.
The manager is incredible and we have formed such a special relationship with her, she goes above and beyond for
every single one of the children that attend. You can see how much the children mean to her and how much she loves her job.
The staff members are also amazing, handover is always in depth and my child always comes out with a smile on her face.
I will be sending my other little girl her too when she is old enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been attending this nursery for a year and loves it. Never upset to go in, always in a great mood at pick up. That says it all really.
Staff are warm and approachable, updates are thorough.
I feel like the app could be better utilised for things like developmental updates. But
it's nice knowing what they've eaten through the day and the occasional snapshot of activities.
They have a spacious outdoor area which they spend lots of time in (weather permitting).
Indoor area has lovely little nooks, messy play, home living, sensory.
I love that they have a separate dining area to replicate school/home dining.
Manager/parent communication is great, the manager keeps us up to date on everything and is always on hand for any issues.
Only reason I'm marking down learning is because my son is only 1.5 and I'm not sure what he's actually "learning" at this age (again developmental updates on app would help here)
Would definitely recommend this setting to others.

A really nice and well thought out nursery. My daughters absolutely love it there, so much so that my 2 year old chose to go to nursery on Friday instead of spending her day with daddy!
The staff are passionate and well trained and there's a real family atmosphere to the entire setting. I'm always
kept up to date with my 2 daughters' progress/activities through the app and, most importantly, through face to face conversation with the staff who speak to me respectfully and graciously.
This nursery keeps going from strength to strength. Keep up the great work!

My son has just completed his first year at this nursery and they have been outstanding. The support they give individually to each child is amazing and it has benefited him so much.
The setting itself is so well organised and has so many things for the children to do and play with. The communication
between nursery staff and myself is very good and they always inform me of my child’s progress and what he has achieved, even down to what he’s had for lunch that day and it’s always a healthy balanced meal.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Padgate 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.944 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Padgate is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.944
  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 Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Padgate is based on 18 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 18 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.
