Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved our daughter to The Stables when we moved to a new house in the area. We were nervous because she was nearly 3 and had made many friends at her previous nursery so we thought she may struggle to adjust. We needn't have worried because from day one she was telling us how much she loved it there,
and that still holds true nearly a year later! Our 10-month-old has also just started, and has settled in brilliantly. She took her first steps in her first week there after watching the other kids, and her speech is already coming along amazingly since she started. The staff are so wonderful and accommodating. They truly take the time to get to know each child, even if they're not in charge of their room. It's such a friendly atmosphere, and they do a fantastic job of celebrating a variety of cultural holidays which furthers the children's education and knowledge of the world. We can't recommend this nursery enough. We're so happy we found it and will be so sad when the girls leave!

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was 11 months old. We loved the nursery from the minute we walked in and that staff have only cemented our love for it over the months. We were made to feel so welcomed and had complete confidence that our son would be very well looked after. Our son
has come on so well in all aspects of his early development and the staff make us feel like part of the family who are just as excited about each milestone as we are! We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

My little girl started at The Stables in April and she has settled in so well! The Stables listened to my concerns about her being upset when I left her and arranged multiple settling-in sessions in order for her to settle in without too many tears! I love all the artwork she brings home to us and I
feel reassured that my little girl is well looked after when I have had to return to work. She is thriving and has changed so much since going to nursery - eating more, talking and walking! Thank you to everybody who works at The Stables Nursery and looks after my little girl. You are all amazing and we are extremely grateful to be able to send our little girl to such a brilliant nursery!

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was 14 months old, having moved areas as a family, they helped him settle in and listened to us as parents. We always worked together to ensure he had the best learning opportunities the staff are fab and so friendly. I would recommend it to anyone looking
for a nice setting with lots of wrap-around support! I will miss them when he starts school in a few months!

My son has developed great skills whilst attending The Stables. The teachers and staff are caring and genuinely interested in your child's development.
It's been two years and we are sad to be leaving in September but equally excited in knowing our son has the fundamentals to start big boy school.

Well run nursery with pleasant and engaging staff. My granddaughter really likes going there and loves the ladies who look after her. Lots of activities to keep her entertained and loads of encouragement to keep her improving in her development. The food is great, she loves the pea and ham soup.

The staff at The Stables Nursery are wonderful, caring and clearly love what they do. Our daughter has been with them since she was 13-weeks-old, and we see weekly how the team are nurturing her development. Even better is how they keep us updated on both her development and also how much fun she has.
Food and nutrition, activities, planned events and more are all at the highest level. There is always something to get involved in.


Anyone considering a nursery for their children should look no further!

This is our third nursery and we couldn't be happier and wish we'd found it sooner. Our daughter is very happy and gets excited when we tell her its nursery day. The staff are incredibly kind and go above and beyond to make our child feel happy and that extends to us as parents who are made to feel
extremely welcome. The setting is wonderful and everything is kept fresh and up to date to provide a lovely clean and fresh environment for the children to learn and play. Overall I don't think you could find a nicer bunch of people and a wonderful place for your child start their learning journey.

Absolutely love everything about Evolution Childcare @ The Stables Nursery School. We have both of our boys here.
My eldest is set to start Primary School in September. Everyone has worked really hard to make sure he’s ready for his next big steps!
Our youngest is in toddlers and has made some lovely
friends already and has excellent support from all of the practitioners in his room.
Every member of the team is always so warm and welcoming every single day and do all they can to make sure that the children’s nursery journey is special, in every way.

I cannot recommend Evolution Childcare @ The Stables Nursery School enough, it is a fantastic nursery with amazing staff. Everyone is so friendly and they can not do enough for the children that attend. My daughter absolutely loves going and looks forward to nursery days.
She has made so many friends
and has learnt so much. We are going to be sad when we leave in September as we really will miss everyone.

My little boy has been attending this nursery since he was a baby and I cannot recommend them enough. He has become a little character that I am so proud of and I can only thank all of the team at Evolution Childcare @ The Stables Nursery School for their contribution to this. He loves going to nursery
and just recently is thriving in his development in the reception room. I was worried that he would struggle with the change when he goes to school but Evolution Childcare @ The Stables Nurser School have helped him with everything I was worried about and now he is more than ready to take on the world. I am going to miss the stories he tells me about time spent with his friends, including the staff members that he has really close bonds with. If we had another baby I would not hesitate in bringing them to this nursery as I am really going to miss it in September.

The most wonderful nursery with such lovely staff. They are all so warm and we have felt part of the nursery family from the moment my eldest son started. The staff cannot do enough for you and are extremely accommodating of the needs of each individual child. My son failed to settle at other nurseries
but there was no question this one was the right choice and we have never looked back. It is so reassuring to know my boys are somewhere where they are so well stimulated, cared for and that they feel so safe and happy there. My three year old often asks to go in on his day off! Would recommend in a heartbeat!

When looking for a nursery for my little boy last year we visited a few but when I walked into Evolution Childcare @ The Stables Nursery School I knew straight away that I had found the perfect nursery for my son. From the welcoming staff, to their organisation to get him started was fantastic. My little
one then started in the baby room and settled really well, he would get excited even when we were just parking the car in the car park. He thrived in the baby room and developed so much within such a short space of time. From his language skills and physical development, his growth and development has been fantastic. Then he moved to the the toddler room where he has continued to be nurtured and is thriving. He is superbly looked after and makes a worried parent as I am at ease. All the staff are incredible and work so hard to ensure that not just my baby boy is well cared for but also keep us as parents very informed. I love reading the updates of what he’s up to. Evolution Childcare @ The Stables Nursery School was a perfect choice for my little one.

My son is currently in the toddler room, the girls are fantastic great communication and I know my child enjoys his stay. The famly app used is very useful for keepsakes and updates (photos and observations etc). I chose this nursery because it is very welcoming and has great opportunities for the children.
(I visited 7 around the area and this nursery felt right!) I am very happy I found this setting.

This is a wonderful nursery! Incredibly dedicated staff who cultivate a great family atmosphere. It’s clear they always take time, thought and make a significant effort to make every day special and warm for all the children at the nursery. There are always lots of great activities planned every month
and they go the extra mile for a hauntingly happy Halloween with everyone dressing up and playing games and an especially magical Christmas with visits from Mrs Claus herself! They’re incredibly understanding, flexible and lovely friendly people. Couldn’t be happier that the kids are in a great place they enjoy being at with all their friends.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for The Stables Nursery School 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.951 for The Stables Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.951
  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 The Stables Nursery School is based on 24 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 24 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2007

I have worked at the Stables Nursery School since 2007 working between two rooms, Reception and Early Learners. I received my National B-Tec Diploma in Early Years in 2006 and started at the Stables a year later. I have received extensive in-house training and have gained valuable training certificates that have supported my progress and my personal development. In addition, I have been a Stables Events and Equal Opportunities officer. This means I take control of organising events each month for the children, parents and staff, documenting these events and ensuring the children are aware of differences and cultures.in 2016 I received my first promotion and became the Early Years Room Manager and in 2017 I was promoted to 3rd In Charge which has helped to develop my knowledge of the operations of the nursery and given me the opportunity to work alongside the manager during training exercises. In 2019 I was then given a further promotion and became the assistant manager at the Stables. In 2020 my journey continued and I became the Nursery Manager at our sister nursery Blackbrook. During my time at Blackbrook I continued to develop my skills and knowledge working alongside an amazing team, with children and families from a variety of backgrounds I gained valuable skills and gained valuable experience working with children with SEND and ASD. I then returned back to my roots at The Stables in early 2024 to continue with my journey and to support the amazing team. I am really excited to see what we can achieve together!
