Since my little boy has started at Nurtured Wakefield he has come on in leaps and bounds. We moved him to a nursery after him not settling at a previous childminder, the setting is so welcoming and calm. He instantly settled and has made lovely bonds with all the staff, we constantly are kept up to
date with his progress and learning. Definitely peace of mind that my child is getting the care and support he needs for his journey in nursery.

We are very happy.
Excellent staff.
My little girl likes too much.
She doesn't like to come back home.
Staff are very kind and responsible.
My little girl eats less, but she likes to eat at nursery so it is a good benefit for the baby.
I love this nursery.

We have recently moved our daughter into Nurtured Wakefield and are so glad that we made this decision!
The staff have all been so accommodating and made the transition so smooth for us and our daughter. We have seen such improvement in her confidence and development, most importantly she is really
happy going into the nursery.
It's clear all the staff really care for the children and have their best interests at heart. We have the upmost confidence when dropping our daughter off that she will be safe and cared for. All the staff recognise our daughter after only a few weeks, showing the extra effort they're going to make her welcome. Communication throughout the day is fantastic and there's such variety on offer in terms of activities and food.
The nursery is regularly putting on extra events for the children and families, creating a real community feel.
Thank you to all the staff!

I am really happy with my choice to send my daughter to Nurtured. Staff are welcoming and helpful. They keep me updated with pictures, posts and messages throughout the day. They have a range of different activities she can get involved with.
My daughter found nursery difficult at the start, but the
staff and management kept in contact with me and put a plan in place to help her feel more comfortable. Since this, she is now thriving at nursery which is a big relief knowing she is in safe hands. She is flourishing at Nurtured, it is a warm and nurturing environment, and it is clear that staff are dedicated to creating a positive and enriching experience.

Have been pleased with Nurtured so far. Everyone is lovely to my child and I feel they are safe left in their care. I like the updates I get throughout the day in the nursery app too. My favourite thing about this nursery is that the outside space is generous in size, especially compared to others in
the area, and it is full of nature and big trees which was important to me as we don't have a garden of our own. They spend lots of time outside and don't let the weather stop them, they just wrap up warm which I love. My child really enjoys going!

Both of my children have attended the nursery over the last three years and I am so pleased they did. It has changed hands in that time and has seen many improvements to keep children safe, happy and loving learning. Over the last year, my youngest has enjoyed toddlers and is now loving what preschool
has to offer. She has come on so much with her speech and confidence and has made some strong friendships with pupils. The staff all work tremendously hard to stay up to date with policy and practice, to keep children safe and to provide next steps and numerous learning opportunities. Staff have especially worked hard to bring a buzz to nursery this month with the crafts and activities brought about by Halloween. The scare-fest event for families to bring the children to and take part in a number of fun activities has been a real highlight and is hopefully the start of more moments like this. We loved spending time with our daughters in an environment they feel safe in!

I have a lovely and wonderful experience with this nursery with my 2 boys. All staff are lovely and understanding of any concerns shared with them. The office staff have good listening ears and are supportive whenever I have issues with payment and family lives especially when I lost my mum. Well done
to the staff because they have a unique teamwork.

Nurtured @ Wakefield is a lovely place.
The staff are all kind and welcoming with a clear passion for looking after young children.
The whole team know my daughter by name and has made an effort to get to know me and my husband.
The team go above and beyond to organise extracurricular activities
on a regular basis and is clearly very good at organising group events for parents and carers to attend.
Safeguarding is clearly high on the team's agenda as all of the staff are aware of the do's and do not's within the setting and are not afraid to challenge any concerns. For example, I have been asked to put my phone away on an occasion when I forgot that it shouldn't be used around other children. This for me is a huge positive and makes me feel like my daughter is safe.
I am always made to feel welcome and feel like I can stay and chat as if I am a member of the team.
I feel very lucky to have found Nutured @ Wakefield.

My children have been attending for over a year and a half now. And I absolutely love this place for my children! The staff are amazing, and the communication is great. The environment is safe and the nursery has been made to be a very comfortable safe place for children and babies. I never have any
worry, I am always reassured. The recent Halloween party was absolutely amazing and you can tell how much hard work the staff put in to give the best outcome for the children which means a lot. Thank you Nurtured for giving my children the best days they are in. As well as the amazing trips when they go out! Would definitely recommend this nursery 100%.

I love how my daughter comes home happy each time she's there. She seems to have learnt so much in the short time she's there, is eating so many new foods from the meals she has and is starting to make friends. It's nice to see her opening up to new adults which shows me the staff are good with her.
I can't wait to see how much more she develops in this lovely setting with the amazing staff.

Cannot recommend Nurtured @ Wakefield enough. Our little boy has been going here for nearly 2 years now and absolutely loves it. They go above and beyond to plan amazing trips and activities for the children. There is always some event they have planned! They take such good care of the children and
build really strong relationships with them. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble.
Our son has come on so much since starting nursery, they really promote independence and he's always coming home having learnt something new.
The food always smells amazing and he seems to love it (nearly always going for seconds haha!)
It truly is a brilliant little nursery and I always feel happy dropping him off in the morning knowing he's in safe hands and is going to have a wonderful day.

If I could give more stars then I would! My daughter has only been attending nursery for 4 weeks and I can’t praise the staff enough. My daughter has type 1 diabetes and the girls go above and beyond with supporting her! They have made me and Dad feel so relaxed and calm whilst they are caring for her.
The staff are so welcoming and the children that attend always look happy and fully engaged in the activities that are set up. Even the nursery cook reached out to me when they had a few changes on the menu to support my daughter’s needs. Beautiful nursery with outstanding staff!

I could not be happier with the service provided for my daughter during her time at Nurtured. Key workers are attentive to her wishes and needs and always plan provisions and activities that support her development across each of the early-year strands. Members of staff are all friendly and approachable,
making drop-offs and collection easy and comfortable. My daughter thinks very highly of her key worker and the members of staff that oversee her in preschool, I am overjoyed.

I was a bit apprehensive about bringing my little boy to this nursery after reading the reviews online. However, when I visited the nursery one of the staff showed me around and told me about the plans for the nursery to improve as new management.
I must say that I am very pleased with Nurtured at
Wakefield Nursery. My little boy loved going to nursery, he was well looked after there and his key worker was always communicating with me. Thanks to one staff member who gave my boy a warm welcome initially as his key person. Thanks to the staff, always giving me handovers about my little boys' day whenever I picked him up.
The only thing is, that it would be helpful if parents could see meal plans for the day or week to enable parents to not repeat the same meal at home for tea.
Overall, I will recommend Nurtured at Wakefield to my family and friends.

My eldest has been going to this nursery since she was 9 months old, she’s always loved it here and I’ve always felt comfortable and happy sending her. The staff are great and more than happy to help in any way they can and address any concerns I might have instantly.
My youngest has been going since
she was 8 months and I’ve had the same experience, if not better. Staff have implemented the app which means I get regular updates and good communication throughout the day and I’m updated regularly on my children’s learning and progress at nursery.

Our child has been attending Nurtured since 2022 and loves it. Every day there are different activities for the children to play with and learn from. The staff put a lot of effort into the activities and planning of each one, taking on board what the children's current interests at home are so that
they can be incorporated into nursery activities as well.
The food is always varied and looks fab - I have recently been informed that the nursery's take on a meal was better than I cooked at home!
The app is a great addition and the staff keep it up to date with activities, observations and meals eaten etc. throughout the day.
The whole team are fab and take a real interest in the children. Our child loves going to nursery and asks almost every morning "am I going to nursery today?"
It is a great nursery and one we would recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Wakefield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.875 for Nurtured @ Wakefield is calculated as follows: ( (520 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 582 Ratings = 4.875
  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 Nurtured @ Wakefield is based on 49 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 49 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.
