Review from Jordan H (Father of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery was a great place for my son and he thrived. Now my daughter is there and nothing is to much for Aimee and the rest of her class. They have wonderful patience and are so so lovable and enduring. My daughter was is a rough and ready Tom boy but still has princess qualities and they also make
her smile and thats something you can't be grateful enough about. The management team is professional and communication is second nature to them. They have the same values we as a family hold dear.

Stone Eden is a purpose built nursery with great access from the M6 whilst still retaining a rural feel through large outdoor play areas, orchards and a farm to visit just round the corner.
It's important to me that our child has a structured approach at nursery and following the early years curriculum
Stone Eden achieve this. I can see my daughter developing and she is excited by all the activities that they do on a daily basis.
The food provided is excellent and the meal plan is varied which is important to develop their tastes.
The nursery itself is full of laughter and the staff have a can do attitude so I'm confident it's a good place for my daughter to be.
From a business perspective there is a clear investment plan and facilities are continually evolving with maintenance a priority (replacement outdoor all weather play area recently).
The area is extremely clean and excellent value for money now the government are contributing towards nursery costs.

Cannot express how happy we are with the care our daughter gets at Stone Eden! She clearly loves it and is getting on so well with her milestones. Lovely outdoor spaces. Amazing food made on site, and always extras for the big appetites.

I can't stress how good Stone Eden has been for our son. Ever since he started he's grown massively, from him crawling to walking to his speech, counting and general knowledge! They're incredibly caring and professional and I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to get their child in nursery!
Special
mention to Dave the chef making fresh healthy meals everyday.

Brilliant staff and very friendly. All the staff make me and my child very welcome every day. They take the time to ask how each of us are every morning and explain what the activities will be that day. I feel very assured my child will have a great day and more importantly is safe. My child has come
on leaps and bounds since coming here and we are very proud of their progress. Well done team. Oh and the meals are extraordinary- just wish I ate this well.

Review from Charlotte R (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a mum, finding the right nursery is one of the most important (and emotional!) decisions you make - and I can honestly say that choosing Stone Eden has been one of the best choices for my children and our family.
From the very first day, the team welcomed us with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine
passion for early years care. The environment is not only safe and clean, but truly inspiring - full of colour, creativity, and curiosity. My children settled in quicker than I ever expected, which is a testament to the love, patience, and consistency of the staff.
What truly sets this nursery apart is the way they care. It's not just about ticking boxes - the staff really know each child. They celebrate their strengths, nurture their personalities (even my little character) and support them. As a parent, that personal attention means everything.
In short, Stone Eden has created a magical foundation for my children's early years. I can't recommend them highly enough!

My baby started Stone Eden on June 2nd 2025. The team in the Little Blossom room are nothing short of fabulous! They have made my transition back to work stress-free as I know my son is in very capable hands.
All the team care deeply for the children in their care & they know each and every child.
They always have time to chat at the end of the day to fill us in, making us (and our son) feel valued and seen. My son always enjoys going knowing he has a fun-filled day ahead, evident by the huge smile on his face at the start and end of his day!
Even though he has only attended for 1 month, my husband & I couldn't be happier with the service provided.

I wouldn't want my child to go anywhere else and would recommend to everyone.
The staff are so friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to help with any advice or concerns with my child and I feel completely at ease leaving them there all day. This is my first child and parenting is new to me
and I have found the staff in each room so far so reassuring and kind.
The outside space is perfect for the children and they spend so much of their day outside which I think is really important and my child loves.
The meals are home cooked and fresh daily and always a mix of variety. Over all, just a great nursery and I'm really happy I chose to bring my child here.

My child has been attending for a year now and I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little loves all the staff, they provide constant development opportunities through play and learning. They are amazing at keeping us up to date with what is going on. We work shifts which sometimes change last
minute and they are always as flexible as possible with us whilst keeping us informed and keeping their numbers at a safe capacity.

My little girl has attended this nursery for almost a year now. At first I don't think she was keen only starting when she was 11 month old. Now she absolutely loves it. Great outdoor space and facilities. And i have noticed she has taken keen liking to one of her key workers and for my child this is
great as she's not really bothered about people. All staff are lovely and if I'm ever unsure in anything there is always someone to message. So glad I went with this nursery.

I cannot recommend Stone Eden Nursery enough! My child has been going for a while now and loves it every time he goes. He has really come along with his speech and development and I believe nursery is really helping that. The staff are all so lovely and go above and beyond. They do lots of activities
with them and look forward to seeing all about their day on the app. He particularly loves going outside as they have such a great outdoor space on site and sometimes takes a walk to the local farm and park. He eats really well there and the meals are always varied.
Thank you to all of the staff for looking after my child so well. He clearly has a great relationship with you all as he loves going back time after time!

My son has been attending Stone Eden since my return to work when he was 9 months old he is now 3 years old and in his last year there and we have got nothing but great things to say about it. The staff have gone above and beyond for our family, making us always feel like nothing is too much of a bother.
His development is exceptional for his age and can only put this down to the great care and encouragement he has had from all of the staff. They have been very understanding of our home/work situation and have always accommodated us as best they can to this. The updates and notifications of any change are prompt and if I ever have any queries the lady in the office is easy to speak to to help. The room leads are excellent at sorting things out too so most things go through them. The team as a whole are just fantastic and my son loves all of the team and talks about them constantly. We can't wait for our second child to join us and have the same experiences.

My little girl started with Stone Eden a few months ago and it has been the easiest and most welcoming experience. All of the staff go above and beyond and it really does feel like a home from home. A specific mention to the girls in the Cherries room, they really do make both us parents and the children
feel at ease. What I enjoy most about the nursery is all of the outdoor play that they get in all weather. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. I highly highly recommend it!

The best nursery so far! I can't believe that my 10-month-old daughter settled into the nursery very quickly and easily without having a problem getting her own place or anything else. The staff are very helpful, friendly and supportive. The facilities and the staff, food, everything just unbelievable
beyond our expectations. Thank you Stone Eden Nursery.

We have been with Stone Eden for 2 years. In that time my little girl started from the baby room to toddlers and now the next room up.
Every room has been amazing the head of each room goes above and beyond and nothing is ever too much. There are many times I've had to switch days due to work reasons
and every time they have accommodated me.
I would highly recommend Stone Eden. My eldest went to a different nursery which was good but Stone Eden has been exceptional in terms of development, friendliness and being accommodating in every way.

Our twin boys have attended the nursery for a few months now and our experience has been nothing but positive. The boys have come such a long way in a short period of time. From not wanting us to leave them, to not wanting to come home some days!
A particular staff member and her team do a great job
in the Little Blossom room, always making time for parents and developing close relationships with the children. It is great to see what they get up to through the day and the smiles on their faces!
Cannot recommend highly enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Stone Eden Nursery School 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.975 for Stone Eden Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.975
  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 Stone Eden Nursery School is based on 33 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 33 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.
