Review from Sarah D (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been going to the nursery since 11mths, she is coming up 2 and a half and she absolutely loves it. The staff are fab, really caring, nurturing and educational. They do everything they can to stick to my little one's routine and I have to say she is absolutely thriving above and beyond
where i expected her to be due to attending this nursery. She has moved up into the older class earlier and the staff have been brilliant with the transition so she could take it in her stride. The staff are personally connected to the children which is evident to see when my little one runs in for hugs and brekkie on a morning. They are encouraging with all the children doing loads of activities including messy play, walks, play parks and often have special visits from the ice cream truck and crazy creatures. They incorporate all key events in the year and have fun with all the children plus homemade wholesome healthy food. I really can't thank them enough.

Review from K C (Grandmother of Child) published on 14 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson has been going to new beginnings for over two years now.
The staff are so friendly and they do so many activities over the day.
It took a little while for him to settle in but the staff helped us through this.
While he has been coming they realised he had a few learning difficulties
- with the help of the staff and health visitors my grandson is now getting the right help.
We can not praise them enough, such a small friendly, Clean environment.

Review from G H (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
New Beginnings are an excellent nursery. We were in urgent need and they accommodated us in no time. The settling-in days were brilliant and all staff are so friendly and welcoming. The staff are very knowledgeable and excellent with my child. My little boy loves going to nursery and has so much fun
while he is there. He often will run into the nursery shouting excitedly. The food is excellent that is provided by the nursery as they have their own chef that cooks nutritious meals for the kids. The nursery keeps in contact with you well and it is very easy, they use the app for communication. The management are open and friendly and will go the extra mile for each child. They have their own private outside space that the children spend a lot of time in. Overall this nursery is brilliant and my son loves coming here.

My little boy attends this nursery and they are fab he loves all the teachers and they have a great bond as my son struggles a lot with his speech, he was non-verbal when he started New Beginnings but with the help and support of teachers, he's come on loads.
My little girl also attended New Beginnings
until she started school in September, she also loved it and had the same experience with her speech, the manager and the girls are fabulous I wouldn't recommend any other nursery.

Review from Shannon W (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Would highly recommend New Beginnings Nursey all three of my children attended this nursery and all were very happy there. I have a little girl who is currently with them and they do everything they can to meet the needs of your children always keep you updated on stuff and are always very supportive
of any concerns. The staff are very lovely and understanding and very good with the children they are also very approachable and make you feel valued as a parent as well as making sure your child is meeting all their targets.

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one attends this nursery. She goes in happily and has such a great bond with her key worker and the nursery will follow her routine as closely as possible. We love to see all the things she gets up to via tapestry and all relatives can see and comment. Her care diary is filled in each day
so I know exactly what and how much she's eaten as well as any personal needs being met. She has made such great progress since attending New Beginnings (Moorside). They have a large outdoor area and regularly explore the outdoor environment. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.438)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.438) out of 10 for New Beginnings (Moorside) 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for New Beginnings (Moorside) is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  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 3.438 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for New Beginnings (Moorside) is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.313
  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.
