My little boy has been going to mazehill since he was 9 months old, it's been such a wonderful experience. The staff are warm & welcoming, and always go the extra mile children for the children, my little boy would be so excited to get into nursery and always say he's had the best time there.

Mazehill Nursery has been the best place we could have found for our daughter. She found nursery hard at first but the staff were always understanding and supportive of her, and listened and acted on any concerns I had. It's been clear from the start just how much the staff care about the children and
the effort they put in every day is phenomenal. After the wobbles at the start our daughter has thrived there and will tell us now about the games she has played, her friends, and all the fun things she's done. Communication from the staff has always been good and we've really appreciated the regular reports. One of the best things about the nursery is that all the staff know all the students - this might seem like a minor thing, but it creates such a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for the children and is a big reassurance for parents. I'd recommend Mazehill to anyone.

Amazing nursery. My youngest has just left, ready for school but I have used this nursery for a few years due to my daughter attending also.
Really approachable and built great bonds with both my children.
Highly recommend.

What a little gem of a nursery. They have absolutely wonderful staff and management, everyone is so friendly and always have a smile on their faces and available to help wherever they can! My daughters perceptions of nursery were restored for the positive when we moved to this lovely nursery! I can
only sing their praises for that. Their outdoor facilities are slightly limited for the 3-4yr olds but they make up for it in all other aspects. What a happy place for children! Wishing them all only the best.

There are not enough positive words for this team of women! As an overbearing mum any small concern raised was greeted only with care, understanding, and most importantly action. Over the 3 years my children have been at Mazehill their development and social skills have come on tremendously!
The staff
go above and beyond, on all occasions even to a point of clearing snow and pathways around the nursery to make it safe.
My children have been between 2 nurseries and I couldn't be more grateful to the team for their effort, dedication and top treatment as each term comes to a close. Mazehill make you feel comfortable, looked after, a priority on all levels!
They all really care about what they do, how they do it and each and every child that enters their doors.
They offer the highest standard and I will continue to hold them to that as my children move through the facility. I don't doubt they will continue the high standards!

All 3 of my children have attended Mazehill since being babies at 9 months through to preschool. My first son starting back July 2015 & my last just stopped attending July 2025.
From the get go I felt comfortable leaving my babies here, my children were always happy when handing them over & would
be just as happy come home time. I feel like the staff have a natural warmth about them, making it feel easy to communicate any concerns.
By any means it's not perfect, no place is, but I've over a 10 year time span I've had no complaints either :)

Both my children have been to Mazehill, it's a wonderful nursery. The staff genuinely care about the children and get to know them, and take the time to make sure the children are having a good day. I feel included and informed about what they get up to, who they play with and that always helps feeling
confident about leaving them at nursery. Can't speak highly enough of the Mazehill team- I recommend them to everyone I know who might need them!

Our child has very recently started having epileptic-type seizures which of course is worrying and scary. When we informed Mazehill staff they were very caring and reassuring. Soon after, my child had a seizure at nursery. The staff were not only calm and professional but caring, kind, and empathetic.
They have shown warmth and compassion to us as parents as well as to our children. They have offered to do specific training should it be needed and have assured us whatever the future holds they will support us and my child's place at the nursery is there. I can't thank the wonderful team at Mazehill enough for their approach, response, and kindness, we really feel they have gone above and beyond for my child. Thank you all of you!

My son started at Mazehill Nursery at 8 months old, he’s now a confident and independent little boy and that’s down to his time at nursery. The staff have created a warm and loving environment in which he has thrived. He has learnt life skills from feeding himself to holding a pencil correctly and taken
part in countless activities and celebration days, like World Book Day! Every morning he is welcomed in by staff who he has built lovely relationships with, who he talks about fondly at home. The staff have always supported both me and my son, they are approachable and honest. Mazehill has given my son such a stable and stimulating environment away from home and I can not thank them enough!

My son has attended for just over a year and we feel really confident in the care he receives here. The staff are so friendly and warm but also professional and knowledgeable, demonstrating excellent judgement and interpersonal skills in the way they approach any tricky situation. There is a lovely
atmosphere and my son happily tells us all about the fun activities he has taken part in and the friends he has. He feels very safe and understands the routines and boundaries there. He isn't always great at trying new foods at home but will happily tuck into the tea time snacks at least trying new things.
Staffing is very consistent which isn't often the case in nurseries so the staff know the children well. Management are approachable, supportive and very quick to respond if I need to get in touch. A big thumbs up from us!

I’d like to use this platform to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Mazehill nursery. Since returning to nursery in September after the summer my son has transformed into such a happy little boy, he loves nursery and tells me about all his friends. He has struggled with a few things including
potty training and I can’t thank the staff enough for their perseverance and encouragement throughout. I feel confident that my son is as expected for his age which is reflected in the progress report sent home. Once again thank you very much!

My child has just left to go to school, she has loved every minute of her time at Mazehill. The staff are so loving and caring, giving my child the time to ask questions and tell them about her weekends.
I also had an older child who went to Mazehill, he's 11 now and the staff remember him. The service
we received for both children was excellent, I would recommend it to anyone.

Staff are great and very caring! Would be nice to get some more information each day as to what children have been up to/eating, would also be nice to be told if there is anything we need to work on at home to get them ready for primary school. The preschool outside area could be cleaner with better
toys.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has thrived beyond all of our expectations at Mazehill Nursery. At just 3 years old, she is now able to independently write her name and copy every letter from the alphabet. The support and attention that she has been given here is astounding. The manager is always on hand whether that
be at drop-off or on the phone and nothing is ever too much for her. The staff are outstanding. They take the time to really understand your child and provide them with comfort and love. Appropriate, age-related activities are planned every day and children bring their work home daily, such as paintings and drawings. At the end of the day you’re given a form on everything your child has done that day, all these little things have so much thought put into them. Children are provided with hot, nutritional meals every day. As working professionals, one of the best things for us has been the flexibility around drop-off and pick-up time. We would pick Mazehill over and over again.

When I looked around this nursery, I knew immediately that every staff member would take care of my child like one of their own. And I am so glad I made the choice to send my little one to Mazehill. He has absolutely thrived since starting at Mazehill, and every staff member is so welcoming and caring;
it really does feel like a family setting. They are so accommodating to anything my son needs, and us as a family. We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son started when he was 14 months old in the midst of Covid and is just finishing to start school.
Mazehill have always gone above and beyond in everything they have done. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They treat each child as an individual and create
a friendly and welcoming environment.
We are so sad that he is leaving, but have memories to last us a lifetime. He has gone from being very quiet and shy to a confident and outgoing little boy who is definitely ready for school, thanks to them!
Thank you, Mazehill!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.424)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.424) out of 10 for Mazehill Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 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 4.826 for Mazehill Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.826
  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 4.598 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mazehill Nursery is based on 14 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.598
  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.
