An amazing nursery. The staff go above and beyond to support both the children and their families. All children are made to feel safe, welcomed and like they belong. Our children have flourished under the care and supervision of all at Mazehill. We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Thank
you!

My daughter has been at Mazehill Nursery since around 1 year old.
They have helped her shape into the lovely little girl she has become. All the staff have been wonderful throughout her time here since 2020. She has flourished in confidence over the years with the help of the staff at Mazehill.
From
nursery until preschool, she’s had a wonderful time. It’s amazing how creative they let the children be. The manager is a wonderful manager. I wish my child could have stayed but it’s time for big school!
Highly recommend.

What can I say about this nursery other than it is absolutely wonderful? Our daughter started here after her previous nursery suddenly closed. When we contacted the manager she was so accommodating. She reassured us about getting her a place and gave us lots of information about the transition. Having
a child with a nut allergy comes with a lot of anxiety around sending your child anywhere without you but this was all handled so well. The medical forms were so very in-depth and we were so reassured by all of the practices that the nursery has in place in terms of keeping children with allergies safe, such as having a board in each classroom where all staff can see any medical needs that a child has. The staff here are exceptional. They are always on hand to speak to you about anything and nothing is ever too much for them. Children are met with a hug and a smile which makes the settling-in process so much easier. The manager is incredible. Our daughter has come on so much academically!

Really nice and friendly staff and are very supportive of the children and family.
Very caring staff and very reliable to look after the kids.
Always put your child's needs first and make sure they feel supported and have their needs met.
Would not have it any other way.

Mazehill Nursery has been amazing for my little boy. He struggled to settle to begin with after being a Covid baby but, with patience and nurturing, he now looks forward to his sessions. He has developed a wonderful attachment with his key worker and talks about her all time at home - thank you.
And
a huge thank you to the manager for all your help and everything you do. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!

Mazehill Nursery and especially the manager have been amazing with my two little boys. My youngest found it very hard to be separated from me but the staff were so patient with him and helped him to settle in. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else. Both my boys enjoyed the food, even my eldest who
is a very picky eater.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first-time mam and dad, it was so important for us to send our son to the right nursery. As soon as we walked into Mazehill Nursery both myself and my husband knew it was the right place. The staff are kind and welcoming and offer a range of activities that follow the national curriculum. Both
myself and my husband call during the day to check in on how our son is doing and it never seems like we’re causing an inconvenience. They are fantastic there and our little boy has really enjoyed attending so far. He’ll be back in September after the summer holidays and I know he’ll continue to go from strength to strength with the support of all the staff.

A fabulous nursery throughout!
The care and love they gave to both my children who have been through the nursery is just perfect.
They are also really approachable if I need to have any conversations with them regarding my child when in their care.
Can’t recommend them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our eldest attended here two to four years and our youngest from one to three (currently attending). We cannot thank every member of staff enough for their care, attention, enthusiasm, communication and genuine approaches for all ages and stages. All staff go above and beyond, including management!
Our girls love attending, they feel happy, safe and welcomed. As do we as parents. Any question or element of advice is shared with empathy, understanding, time and commitment. All members of staff are professional, nurturing, understanding and have utmost respect for the children in their care and parents.
From day one, through covid measures and since we have felt valued, included and kept up to date with every element of personal, social and emotional development, food intake, changing (when in nappies), activities undertaken and in terms of assessment using the relevant ages and stages in the early years foundation stage curriculum.
My husband and I as parents and myself as a teacher recommend this nursery to all families!

I couldn't recommend Mazehill Nursery higher. My daughter has absolutely loved her time there. The staff are wonderful, and really get to know the children well. It feels like a second family for my daughter and the relationships she has formed (with both staff and other children) are so important to
her.


The extra miles the staff go to for each child are testament to their love and care for the children, and it is really appreciated by us all.


My daughter is starting school in September, and Mazehill has really helped set her up for this transition.


Thank you so much, wonderful Mazehill staff.

Both of my sons attend Mazehill Nursery and I cannot recommend them enough, nothing is ever too much for them and they are so supportive. Both of my sons have come on so much since attending. My boys love all of the staff and always come home enjoying the amazing food they have each day. All the staff

My son has been at Mazehill since January 2021 and is now leaving for big school. I cannot praise the staff here enough, he has thrived beyond my expectations the last few years and the women who work here are a credit to themselves and uou won’t find support for child and parents like it anywhere else.

For the last eight years, Mazehill has been an amazing nursery for both our children. Every single member of staff cannot do enough for the children in their care. The service they provide is, without doubt, exemplary. We have received nothing but support and love and most of all a sense of humour.
We would always recommend Mazehill to anyone asking which childcare provider they should choose for their child. We love Mazehill so much that we decided to keep our eldest there when we moved out of the catchment area!

Outstanding nursery with particular focus and detail on understanding each individual child's needs and offering emotional support to encourage my child to gain confidence, delevop social and educational goals.
The staff go over and above their job role to offer us parents with feedback and progress
updates. They are warm, friendly and caring to both the children and parents alike.
My daughter has been there for 2 years and in that time I've watched her grow from a shy, nervous toddler, to a confident, articulate little girl ready to take on her new primary school with all the skills required.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since October last year she she loves it. The staff are so friendly and are always happy to speak to me about any concerns. Her key worker is amazing and always makes me feel confident about her development. She always comes home with a smile on her face and
the care sheets let me know what she has been doing so if I’m in a rush I don’t have to sit and wait. The nursery itself is set out lovely and is always clean. My daughter always comes home with artwork that she’s done and it’s always well presented and age-appropriate. She seems to have come on loads since she started. I’m confident in the care she receives and believe she is well cared for. As a first time mum I was nervous to leave her but after a few short weeks I’d built the trust with staff to leave her with no worries, but any time I do worry I know the manager is always on the other side of the phone happy to go check and give me an honest answer as to how she really is.

Mazehill is a lovely nursery, the staff are very helpful and friendly. My child attends and does a lot of playing and drawing, but in that time they are watched, monitored and encouraged to learn. They send home assessment sheets for us to look at, sign and return, on this it discusses your child’s
behaviour, where they are and what they hope to encourage. The nursery always does things for world book day etc and it is always lovely to receive a card that they have made for you at Christmas and Valentine’s Day. I would highly recommend Mazehill Nursery.

Really lovely nursery. Our son has settled in well and every member of staff is friendly and helpful. Most recently the staff have been brilliant with potty training which has not gone smoothly but they have never complained and remained cheerful and helpful. The staff all seem to care about the children.
The manager is brilliant, she remembers everything about the children and is hands on in the classroom. Our child is thriving in the environment and learning lots and trying new foods.

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.
