Review from D B (Father of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter attended here for a year or so. She was always excited to go in, and would always come home saying she had lots of fun.
She made lots of friends and spent lots of time outdoors learning and playing, which is all they really want to do at that age.
All the staff are lovely and engage
with the kids, taking an interest in their general progress as they get older.
Our little girl is sad to be leaving and will be missing here for a while to come.

My son had a great time at Richmond house.
He was being well taken care of.
We were sad we had to go but my son is still talking about the teachers and friends from Richmond house.
Definitely good memories.

The nursery is great, clean, well-presented, and warm. The staff are great. My two boys have recently joined and I've seen a massive improvement in their speech and language and trying more new foods that they'd previously just not entertain. They both love going, they don't want to leave when we pick
them up. Which puts our mind at ease knowing they love it.

Review from J M (Father of Child) published on 26 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The acid test for us is that our child really misses nursery and her friends when she’s away (on holiday). She sings the nursery songs all the time and asks not just where her friends are but where her teachers as too. Other nurseries have provided child-minding facilities to our two (teenage) boys,
but Richmond House engage more and educate to the extent that we can say our daughter would not be as confident, advanced and chatty if she had simply stayed home. She is off to a flying start thanks to Richmond House. Highly recommended from a usually pernickety dad!

Richmond House have made our family feel incredibly welcome since our first visit. Our son has attended for a year now and has learnt so much. He is very happy there and the staff have always gone the extra mile for us to help him settle and feel cared for.

Our daughter has been going here for 18 months now and she loves it. It’s a lovely family-style setting where all the staff know our daughter’s name and we know theirs. We’ve been very impressed with our daughter’s learning since she moved into the kindergarten and preschool where she does phonics,
numbers and Spanish! We’ve already signed our newborn up for a place in the baby room later in the year.

I have had three children at Richmond House and have always been impressed with the dedication, care and provision of activities. The children benefit from music, movement and even Spanish classes on top of their daily routine. The nursery also does lots with parents and carers to build a close bond
with families. The staff are incredibly hard-working and I really love the homely atmosphere. All my children have enjoyed their time there. A fantastic place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Two of my children have done/currently attend Richmond House and my third is due to start in September. We have been extremely happy with the service provided and our children have all settled well. All of the staff are incredibly helpful and caring and have always worked hard to support the children
in achieving personal, emotional and social goals within the nursery setting. The communication is brilliant and I love seeing my child’s progress from week to week. My children have taken part in a variety of different activities including Stretch and Grow, Spanish, Forest School and much more! Our daughter attended right up until Reception and still talks about the staff and memories she has of attending Richmond House. It’s so lovely! The nursery has always been very accommodating to our children’s dietary needs, which is so important to me, and we have always been assured of alternatives with staff being on hand to answer any questions. Couldn’t recommend Richmond House Kindergarten enough!

Our daughter started when she was 9 months old. She has been looked after and cared for very well. She is 2 now. The wide range of activities she does is amazing from the music and dancing to the pictures and collages that come home. She has made a close little group of friends that she talks a lot
about! We feel her language is developing due to her attendance. The staff are lovely and very pleasant always greet us with a smile and cheery manner.

Both my daughter and son attend Richmond House full time and absolutely love it. They have made so many friends and love all of the 'grown ups' which makes the world of difference to us as parents. We have even had tears on the weekend when they can't go to nursery! The range of activities and developmental
attention given to each child is second to none, we couldn't ask for more. My son has had difficulties with eczema and what ended up being allergies - the team at Richmond House were and continues to be so supportive and accommodating really helping him and us manage what he needs. Thank you to all at Richmond House - you are fantastic!

Both my son and daughter attended this nursery. They were both very happy here and the staff showed genuine care, love, and support towards them both. It is a small intimate nursery which was great for my children and had a very homely feel. The learning was fun and engaging and set them both up perfectly
for starting school. I would highly recommend this nursery for your little ones.

We have had the most incredible experience with Richmond House! Our son started at age two in 2020 during all the Covid madness and the way that the staff welcomed us and settled him into the nursery was absolutely brilliant from the first phone call. They gave us a virtual tour beforehand and then
once he started he was so happy from the first day. The communication is excellent and I love the app you can access to see photos and updates. Everyone is so friendly, the team clearly really care about the kids and our son adored going. Such a wonderful nursery and I would recommend them to anyone.

My son has been at Richmond House Kindergarten for 4 years and while he is looking forward to school he will greatly miss his friends and all the staff at the nursery too. He loves all the staff at the nursery and has bonded with all his key workers throughout. He has thrived there and I wouldn't hesitate
to recommend it to others. The outdoor play area is fantastic and the variety of activities that he takes part in throughout the week ensures that he is always interested and stimulated whilst also allowing lots of time for free play too. The nursery has been extremely flexible and has always accommodated our needs where possible. A lovely nursery.

The staff, in particular, make this nursery a very lovely setting for my daughter. They are dedicated and put a lot of effort into making sure the children progress and have fun at the same time. They involve the children in lots of different activities and my daughter has settled in very well for these
reasons.

Richmond House Kindergarten is the most lovely environment for a child to spend time in. The staff are caring and the children benefit from massively varied activities - both indoors and outdoors in the amazing garden area.
There is a bond between not just the key worker for my son but all of the
staff in the nursery and it has been lovely to watch the relationships develop and he loves his time there.
I couldn’t recommend the nursery more. The service is flexible and geared completely to the needs of family life.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Richmond House Kindergarten since January 2019 and absolutely loves it. The staff are all lovely and create a very caring environment for the children. Communication with parents is excellent - we particularly like the online learning log, where we receive regular updates
about our child’s progress and achievements and the daily verbal report at pick up. The children enjoy a wide range of activities, including singing, stretch and grow and even learning some sign language, as well as lots of indoor and outdoor play. We are also really happy with the wide variety of meals offered by the nursery - the menu is interesting and changes regularly, and our daughter has enjoyed trying lots of new foods!
We would thoroughly recommend Richmond House Kindergarten to anyone considering it for their child.

Both my children have gone through Richmond House. They have had the best start to life at this nursery.


The staff are caring and ensure your child’s wellbeing and education is their top priority. My children are now confident children who are motivated to learn and Richmond House continues to offer

them the challenges they need on a daily basis.


Parents are always well informed by staff of their child’s learning progress and having staff that are warm and welcoming makes communicating even easier.


I could not recommend a better nursery and I feel very lucky to have been able to put both my kids through Richmond House.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.520)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.520) out of 10 for Richmond House Kindergarten 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.870 for Richmond House Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.87
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Richmond House Kindergarten is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75
  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.
