Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been attending for 6 months now and we are so impressed by the care at Thorncliffe Park. All the staff have been so lovely, welcoming and patient and have really taken my little one under their wing. He struggled with the adjustment at first as expected, but his key worker and the
rest of the staff were so supportive, really helped ease the transition & he was settled in after only a few weeks! I always look forward to picking him up at the end of the day and hearing from the workers everything he's been up to. They always talk about him like one of their own, & can tell they really care for him which is so reassuring. They're quick to pick up any concerns, and are really focused on his development. He's come out of his shell since starting nursery, he's a lot more outgoing and confident and it's been amazing to see the new skills he comes home with which is a reflection of the staff working with him. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son began TP in February 2025, following a disappointing experience at another nursery.
From the first minute, we have been welcomed with open arms, the service from every member of staff is exceptional. They are all so kind and chatty, they invest so much into our boy and nothing is too much.
The change in our son, coming home so happy, singing, counting and growing as a little person is a joy to see.
I cannot thank the staff enough, I highly recommend this nursery for your little people.
Reply from Mary Brown, Manager at Thorncliffe Park Day Nursery

The manager and staff here are incredible I cannot praise them enough. They are knowledgeable and so attentive.
My child is quite clingy and usually attached to myself or his dad but has thrived here and built a really good bonds with everyone. I can be sure he is getting the care he needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son is very happy at Thorncliffe. He has such a bond with the staff members, who really do seem to care for him and all the other children. I really couldn't compliment them enough for their kindness. They know him as if he is one of their own. He has made friends of which he talks about at home
and looks forward to seeing when he next goes. He comes home reciting songs and stories, so I do feel he enjoys his time there.
It is always fresh smelling inside and they seem on top of all cleaning. They are currently having some painting completed in the rooms, so the whole place is nice and refreshed. He enjoys outside time and having the freedom to exercise there. I've seen bigger outdoor areas, but he seems very happy with the array of things to play and ride on. They have recently had refurbishment outside to that area. Meals are mostly vegetarian with some fish dishes (for those that have it) which suits us as he is vegetarian. I'm often told he has eaten more than one portion!

All the staff are incredibly welcoming and continue to be so patient with myself and the transition of my LO starting nursery. It's an incredibly overwhelming time and I can't articulate how the whole team have made leaving my little girl in their care so much easier. The difference I see in her development,
growth and the friendships she's made is wonderful, my LO has the best connection with her key worker that I'm beyond grateful to see.

Upon arrival, the nursery is found to be clean and warm, incorporating two doors for enhanced safety. The high placement of door handles effectively prevents unsupervised access by children.


Morning greetings are consistently welcoming and pleasant. The nursery staff are consistently kind, approachable,

and demonstrably pleased to see the children.


Age-appropriate rooms, each well-equipped with a variety of toys, are a significant advantage.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Considering change in management lately I still find thorncliffe take wonderful care of my daughter. She has flourished in rainbow room. And behaviour at both parents home has improved as well as less avoidant to complete tasks when asked. And is coming on bounds in potty training. Something we had
been battling with. My daughter's communication skills have also come on in leaps and bounds and her understanding of language used is also super.
My only complaint is the pack lunch situation which I'm unsure still stands? I'd have my daughter in every day 8-3 if possible however she is an incredibly fussy Eater and simply wouldn't eat cooked meals provided as we struggle at home so she simply wouldn't eat all day unless a pack up was provided.

My son really enjoys going to this nursery, his face lights up when he sees his key staff, and the rest of the staff. We can see how fond the staff are of him and how well interacted with and looked after he is. He started when he was under 1 and now going on 2 he has come on leaps and bounds and shows
so much confidence at nursery and has such a connection with the nursery staff. The nursery itself is lovely bright and full of interactive things for the children and the parents to see what they're up to, it's always clean and homely.

I am very happy with Thorncliffe Park Day Nursery. The staff are very helpful and great with my daughter. She has a great time there and has learnt so much since starting. She has been there for over a year now and I could not fault them. They have lots of activities available for the children to do
and a great outdoor play area. They provide a variety of cooked meals which my daughter enjoys and healthy snacks too!

We could not be happier with Thorncliffe Park Day Nursery and are so glad we chose to send our child there. The staff are all amazing, very knowledgeable about all children not just those they are key workers for and you can tell they really care and are dedicated to their jobs. They communicate well
with us and we feel reassured that our child is in good hands, doing a variety of engaging and educational activities and eating a fabulous and varied menu of foods.

After a bad experience at another local nursery, Thorncliffe Park Day Nursery went above and beyond to make me and my child feel welcome and supported. All staff, even those not in direct contact with my child on a day-to-day basis (in other rooms), showed us both so much compassion and patience and
all rooted for her success. All calm but firm. Helped her however she would let them. Could not have expected to be in a better position starting school and year ago when starting here. Couldnt speak highly enough about everyone here!

All the teachers are fantastic, kind and considerate and nothing is too much trouble for them. Every child at the nursery is looked after to the highest standard.
I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent looking for childcare. I cannot thank all the teachers enough for everything they have done for my daughter.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.751)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.751) out of 10 for Thorncliffe Park Day 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.751 for Thorncliffe Park Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.751
  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 Thorncliffe Park Day Nursery 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
