They are so lovely, my son is so settled and the staff take really good care of him. He seems to love the staff and he eats all the food they give him, I'm really pleased overall and they are so flexible.

My Son and Daughter go here. The outdoor gardens are spacious and give the children an opportunity to explore and learn holistically. The staff always ensure meaningful activities are set out for the children during the day. My Son has enjoyed his bug hunts in the garden and my daughters
language has come along so well. The staff truly have a passion for thier jobs and you can tell when dropping them off and picking them up because they are always happy to see the children and parent. I always look forward to hearing about the adventures my little beans get up to during the day. I hear the meals are 'better than mommies' so, Thank you to the Team. We appreciate it.

My son has been attending since June and I honestly couldn't be happier. The nursery has such a home-from-home feel - warm, welcoming and full of friendly faces. All the staff are so caring and genuinely invested in the children, which gives me real peace of mind every day. I love seeing all the different
activities he gets involved in, from creative crafts to outdoor play, and the way they celebrate so many themes and special occasions is wonderful. It's clear how much thought and effort goes into making each day fun, engaging and nurturing. We're so grateful to be part of such a lovely setting.

The manager and the staff at Ashbourne have been so accommodating with my very cuddly mummy's boy on his transition to nursery. It has not been a straight forward journey but they have been so warm and friendly and allowed him to have as many settling in sessions as he needed to feel more comfortable.
They give him lots of cuddles if he gets sad throughout the day and do a wonderful job of keeping him happy whilst I'm at work. Thank you so much to you all!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Starting with settling in days in December, the staff at Ashbourne have been friendly and accommodating, answering all of our first-time parent questions and worries. They have worked with us to modify the food for our baby's dairy free diet - something our baby obviously appreciates as he's become
a voracious eater since starting nursery, even eating his vegetables!
Our 1-year-old seems very comfortable with the ladies in the baby room, and we have been really impressed by how warm and genuine they are, always taking the time to talk through our baby's day. He has become so much more active too and seems to love scooting around the baby room on his bottom! Best of all, he is now eager to get to nursery in the morning and will kick his legs with excitement when he realises he's in the car park!

Excellent nursery with caring staff. Ashbourne Day Nursery has been an amazing place for my child. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and dedicated to creating a nurturing environment. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured that our child would be in great hands. The facilities
are clean, safe, and well-equipped with engaging activities that support learning and development. The team provides regular updates, which gives us peace of mind knowing our child is happy and progressing well. I highly recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery to any parent looking for a warm and supportive setting for their little one!

My son 2 1/5 year old has attended this Nursery since he was nine months old. We absolutely love it!! The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The management team are also amazing and get involved with the children, which I think it so good! They very often host charity events which to me just speaks

We are really happy with Ashbourne. Our daughter feels loved and like a part of the family there. It's clear the staff are delighted with her and she's made great bonds with all of them and the other children. They are sure to update us, the space itself is fab and she has learned so much since being
there. It's a never a worry to drop her off and I feel safe she's being looked after and loved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Ashbourne 4 weeks ago and from our first visit up until now, I can honestly say that the whole team have been wonderful and settling in process has been seamless. The lady (who is fantastic) arranged for my daughter to have a weeks worth of settling in periods so that the team
could get to know her and allow myself time to adjust too before I headed back to work. Since starting "officially", my daughter has come on so much in terms of her development already which is down the care and activities from Ashbourne! The staff are so attentive and always give you a thorough report after each day and genuinely care about yourself and your child. They are also more than happy to give reports via phone call (I have called up many times for my own peace of mind!) or via their app. The baby room is lovely with a designated dining area in the conservatory with their own garden too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashbourne to anyone. Thank you to all of the team!

This is a wonderful nursery and I often recommend it to friends. My son was around a year old when he started and my worry about him going to nursery was that he couldn't tell me anything, however, I'm given peace of mind because each day he reaches for his nursery teachers at the door and he greets
them with a smile, and he always comes out at the end of the day very happy, he clearly loves it here! The staff complete such detailed diaries, I get to know loads about what he's been up to and meals. They really cater activities to fine and gross motor skills and help their development, and encourage exercise and imagination. Huge outdoor space!

Amazing nursery.
Can’t fault anything about this nursery.
Friendly staff who really care about the children.
Gorgeous nursery inside and out! It’s set in an old farmhouse and the inside represents this also. Chef onsite. Massive outside area. Good parking.
Good handovers with staff every day.
App
to keep up to date with what your child/children are doing.
The children are all so friendly.
Just the ideal perfect place to send your children. Thank you everyone at Harp.

My child is currently at The Meadows Children's Day Nursery, and has attended here since she was 13 months old. She will be finishing there in September when he will move on to reception. We will be terribly sad to say goodbye. I will be forever grateful for all you have done for our daughter and I
could not recommend them more highly. The staff are all so lovely, accommodating and approachable. My daughter loves attending and I hope the confidence and skills she has gained from being at The Meadows means that she will also have smooth transition into primary school! Thank you for your hard work and care.

My daughter has been attending the Harps Nursery in Sandbach for almost a year, in this time her social development has been amazing. She has become a bright, confident and capable toddler. The time and effort all the staff put into the children’s development and well-being goes above and beyond. The
home-from-home feel of the place is brilliant and all the indoor and outdoor facilities are fantastic.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Sandbach 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.958 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Sandbach is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.958
  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 Sandbach is based on 20 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 20 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.
