My son loves going to nursery on the days that he goes. The staff are all friendly and easy to talk to. Food is of a good standard and variety. Great facilities outdoors for various ages. The app is great as it lets you know what your child has done and also includes pictures. Staff also inform you
of what your child has been up to that day. Nursey is clean.

I’m a father of twins who have been at the Nursery for over a year now. They are amazing in all aspects as the children love going. They call it the “baby school”. They communicate and steer the girls in a wonderful way and with home cooking, it keeps the girls happy on varied diets. It’s a great place
and highly recommended!

Excellent nursery, would highly recommend. Staff are so kind and tailor to each individual child. Food is always varied, healthy and local. Lots of outdoor space and they go out at least once a day usually more. Very happy with my decision to send our kids there.

Both my children go to this nursery. They take the time to really get to know your child and progress them while having fun. I love the picture updates. The outside play area is fantastic! I am always jealous of the food they get throughout the day. Everyone is really friendly. It is a very flexible
and accommodating nursery. Now the weather is a lot nicer my girls will get to play outside much more, which they will love.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 12 months old. My daughter is very much attached to me but thanks to the amazing staff here at the nursery loves her days in.
She is always happy to attend, eats all her lovely home-cooked meals and enjoys her days, especially the ones spent in the
nursery’s own private orchard and playgrounds.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 6 months old, she is now nearly 4 years old.
In every single room she has been in the staff have been incredible. They are all so passionate and caring about their work, which makes it so much easier for me to have trust in them leaving my
daughter in their care.
My daughter has developed in leaps and bounds and has become a very confident, clever little girl.
I would highly recommend Stone Eden Nursery to any parent needed childcare.

My little girl has been attending the nursery since February 2021, she will be leaving in September to attend primary school however our second daughter will be starting the nursery in September of this year. I can in no way fault the care provided to my little girl. The staff are professional and friendly
and have helped our family through a lot of complicated and hard times. The support given to us has been a godsend. I would never think twice about sending my children here.

Our little boy has attended Stone Eden since June last year. He absolutely loves it there. It is lovely to be able to drop him off and see how happy and excited he is to see the staff and other children there. The staff are so friendly and have been really flexible with any day changes to help out.
The activities are creative and educational and I love seeing and hearing what they have been up to. Our little boy is also a huge fan of dinner time with the chef and the lovely meals he provides. I would and have recommended Stone Eden to others! Thank you for taking such great care of our little boy!

My daughter has been with Stone Eden since November 2023 as we decided to change her nursery. I can honestly say I have never been happier, she has settled in so well she loves nursery now and she’s learning so much! The staff are so accommodating to different shift patterns. I can’t wait for her to
grow through the years with Stone Eden to help her! The staff are absolutely lovely to talk to and know her inside out already!

Both of our kids have attended Stone Eden since the age of 1 (one is coming up 4 and the other is approaching 2). We can not recommend them enough. Every staff member is incredible, their communication levels are unwavering and their facilities/amenities/activities are just amazing. We are delighted
that our two have started their journey into education at Stone Eden, their confidence, self-awareness and social skills leave us in awe every day and we truly believe that the experience Stone Eden has given them is a leading conduit to this. We can't thank their team enough. A wonderful organisation that is committed to the development of the little ones in their care. Thank you!

Our daughter started at Stone Eden last year and has settled in really well. She loves going outside to play and loves that she gets to play with friends in other rooms also who are older and younger than her. Her nursery nurse is fantastic and our daughter loves going to see her.

My son (16 months old) has been attending Stone Eden for the past six months since I have returned to work, it’s his first nursery and so a big change for him and us. The staff have been great in helping him settle in, they are always friendly and he has a great time when he’s there. A big thank you
to them from us.

My daughter has been at Stone Eden Nursery for nearly a year and loves it! When she started she was quite shy and quiet, but I have really seen her confidence grow so much through nursery! To me that is testament to all the lovely and caring staff who have helped her grow and made her feel comfortable
at nursery! My daughter really enjoys play time, craft and outdoor time and is developing friendships with the other children. The staff is very good at communicating information and answering any concerns or queries. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Stone Eden is such an amazing nursery! My son has attended every day for just over a year now and he still looks forward to going every morning! The staff are amazing, so many fun activities are planned for the children on a daily basis and of course, lots of time spent being messy, reading stories,
singing songs and playing outside! My son has come on so much since being at this nursery! The communication from the staff is amazing and they are all very chatty and friendly, you almost feel part of the family! I have and will continue to recommend this nursery to everyone!

Look no further! Our two boys have been attending for almost a year, both with complex additional needs. The nursery has gone out of its way to make sure the boys are included and both have made brilliant progress in the past year. The staff are all amazing and 'Dinner Time Man' makes some fantastic
fresh meals for the kids every day. Lots of time outside, whatever the weather, so kids get plenty of fresh air as well as stimulating activities indoors. Daily communication with parents is excellent and recently has started using an app where the children's progress is recorded.

My son has been at Stone Eden Nursery since April 2023. All the staff are amazing and I can’t thank them enough for how much they’ve helped my son grow and develop so far. He doesn’t even look back to say bye to me when I drop him off! I know he’s in the best hands with all the staff! The nursery’s
is very flexible and always helpful if I need to put him in for any extra session last minute. Extra big thanks/mention to all the staff in the little blossoms room.. you do a cracking job! Huge variety of food and the place always looks and smells so clean! Lots of outdoor areas for the children to play safety in.

My daughter has been attending Stone Eden for approximately a year now and she has received a high standard of care from all the staff. The communication from the nursery has been excellent, if I ever have any queries my questions are answered fully and quickly. The food is excellent, home-cooked meals
and a good range of breakfast and snacks, my daughter nearly always has seconds! The children get to play outdoors a lot, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They have been very flexible for us, as both parents do shift work. Excellent nursery overall, my daughter enjoys her time there every week.

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.
