Review from H A (Mother of Child) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been at Ashbridge for a little over 5 years now. My son started his journey at 9 months old and my daughter at 11 months. Both of my children were welcomed with open arms. The staff made the worry of returning to work and leaving my babies a much easier process. My son was flagged up with potential
ASD when he reached 3 and I can't thank his key worker enough for her kindness and support with the whole process. She adored him and went above and beyond to support his needs and love him as and individual. My daughter had the same key worker up until preschool who was the most wonderful person and provided the mothering role in my absence just as we wanted. Now my daughter is in preschool and she is thriving. She loves going to "school", has lots of friends and is outdoors every day! The staff adore her and she them. My son now attends the school and his positive experience continues. Ashbridge care about each child and the facilities and staff are worth their weight in gold!

Ashbridge Hutton is a simply outstanding nursery. Our daughter joined from another setting when we moved house, and we were nervous of the transition as she was so settled and happy where she was - but the difference in her now, and in the facilities and care she gets to experience every day, is enormous.
The staff are without exception kind, caring and welcoming, and our daughter adores them all - even those who don't work directly in her room. The facilities are second to none and there is clear evidence of constant investment to keep everything up to date. I wish they ran sessions for adults as a few days a week with the ponies and guinea pigs, and gardening and forest day, would be the perfect antidote to work.

Love the nursery especially my child's key worker. I honestly feel it's just an extension of home life as they make sure she has a great routine, out enjoying the animals and playing with all the great toys outside. Amazing facilities with lots of different things to do. Everyone listens if you need
support or guidance and most of all I know my baby girl is in the best hands living her best life. I just wish her key worker could be with her as she grows up as she will really miss her when she has to move up a class.

We have been part of the Ashbridge Family for 5 years now. My eldest child started when he was 9 months old, he has been all the way through the Nursery and has now moved on to school. I currently have a 2-year-old in the Nursery. We love the surroundings and the curriculum this nursery has to offer,
from forest school to soft play, going on adventure walks, and seeing all the animals. My children have looked forward to going to nursery every week to see what adventures await.

My son started at Ashbridge a few months ago and can honestly say he has had such a wonderful time since. He's come on leaps and bounds with all his milestones, such as eating and sleeping independently. You can tell the staff love him, and I've been so grateful for how easy they've made his transition
to nursery, for the both of us!

Amazing Nursery and Key Workers go above and beyond to look after our oldest child.
We are happy that our oldest one goes to Ashbridge Nursery.
We have even registered our youngest child to go there as well.
Overall I can't find a single flaw in their System.

Ashbridge is a fantastic nursery. The staff are kind, caring and supportive, leading to a really nurturing and positive environment for the children. The facilities are outstanding and I can wholeheartedly recommend Ashbridge Hutton to any parents thinking of sending their child there. Our daughter
has developed so much during her time there and talks so fondly of all the staff and her fellow children. The outdoor education ethos is fantastic and has nurtured a real love of animals and the outdoors in our daughter.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Ashbridge. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt the warm, welcoming atmosphere and moving our child to this nursery was the best decision we have made. The staff are not only professional and caring but also genuinely passionate about early
childhood education.
Our child has thrived in this nurturing environment. The facilities are top-notch, with clean, safe, and engaging play areas that are thoughtfully designed to stimulate learning and creativity. The daily activities are well-structured, with a great balance of play, education, and social interaction. Special mention to three staff members in particular, who have gone above and beyond to make my child feel special and supported. It's clear that they take the time to understand each child's unique needs and personalities, which has made all the difference.

My two children have both been through Ashbridge Nursery in Hutton so we have extended experience over the last 6 years. I only have positive things to say about the nursery. The facilities and activities they offer are outstanding! From forest school to animal care, the team provide an amazing, enriching
environment for the children in their care. The staff are all incredible! They make personal connections with the children and genuinely care about the children in their care. I will be really sorry for my kids to leave but we will still be utilising the holiday care provided by Ashbridge.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited several nurseries and nothing compared to the facilities, cleanliness, menus and professionalism. My child has been going here since 4/5 months old. 1 year on and I still know it's the perfect place for them. They get a varied diet of home-cooked meals, plenty of engagement, genuine care from
staff and I love how many activities they pack in a day. Being a forestry nursery was vital for me. The animals on site, the encouragement to learn things they may miss in a standard setting, the daily walks and fresh air. I'd also like to note how secure I feel with my child going here. Coded doors, passwords and plenty of staff around. I also love the daily photographs of things they've been up to and the full rundown and honesty of how they've been, what they've eaten etc. Every day I look forward to seeing that smile after my work day and I can't wait to see and listen to what they learn over the years

We couldn't be happier with our choice of Ashbridge for our son. The daily updates that are shared give us an insight into what activities he is doing, and that he is having fun. At pick-up, we are given an in-depth overview of how his day has gone, including milk, food, nappies and nap times. The
staff are wonderful and helped our child to settle in in the beginning. They are knowledgeable, caring and hands-on with the children. Facilities are second to none and we are looking forward to our son being able to explore them fully as he gets older. We would highly recommend Ashbridge.

"The Nursery Of Dreams" I cannot express how much our family love Ashbridge. I remember looking round nurseries in the area and being so disheartened at the quality that was on offer. I viewed 7 in total and Ashbridge was the last one. To say we were blown away with the facilities, provision of outdoor
activities and family-run care would be an understatement. We knew this was where our children would flourish. Three children later and I can confidently say that sending our children to Ashbridge nursery in Hutton was the best decision we've ever made. All three are confident and happy and have forged some beautiful friendships along the way. The team of staff they have built at the nursery are just incredible and we will miss them all dearly as next week our youngest starts in Pre-School!

Sending our little one to Ashbridge, Hutton was the best decision we ever made for her. Since joining around March 2022 at around 9 months old, she has flourished into the brightest, most curious, polite little girl and I attribute so much of this to the staff and environment at Ashbridge, Hutton. The
facilities are second to none and access to the forest, fields and animals has moulded our little one to thrive in the outdoors. Every evening she tells me with such joy and genuine excitement of the adventures they've had during the day. Every key person she has been under has been an absolute pleasure and credit to the nursery. It has genuinely felt like they have had her needs and best interests firmly at heart. Not for one second have I ever felt uneasy leaving my little girl there with any of the staff working with her over the years. I would highly recommend Ashbridge, Hutton to any parent and have in fact, numerous times to friends and family.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.533)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.533) out of 10 for Ashbridge Independent School and Nursery Hutton 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 16 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 5.000 for Ashbridge Independent School and Nursery Hutton is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 5
  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 4.533 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbridge Independent School and Nursery Hutton is based on 16 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 150 number of registered child places is 30. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.533
  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.
