Amazing nursery. My daughter loves it! Creative personalised approach to every child. Nice and cozy outdoor space. Indoor space is creative and comfy. Carers will go above and beyond to make our kids happy and healthy.

Review from Nabiha S (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started at Nurtured @ Northfield just before he turned one, and now at 18 months we couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The staff are incredibly kind, patient and genuinely caring, which made the transition into nursery so reassuring for us as parents.

They've created such a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy and encouraged to explore and learn. It's been wonderful to see how much our son's confidence, social skills and curiosity have grown since starting.

Communication with parents is excellent and the team always keep us updated. Most importantly, our son is always happy going in and comes home smiling. We're so grateful to the amazing team at Nurtured @ Northfield and would highly recommend them to any parent!

Overall Experience
I could not recommend Nurtured at Northfield enough! It is such a fabulous nursery, they are so child centred and made me and my little girl feel so welcome from the start!
My little girl started here in February 2026 and she has made such big improvements even in the first month.

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, they made the transition into their setting so smooth and easy, my little girl loves going and I'm very grateful for their kindness towards her.

We're really happy with this nursery. My son has been going since January 25. The staff are lovely, caring, and always make him feel welcome. Communication is great too, we get lots of regular updates about what my son has been up to during the day, which is really reassuring. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children. I'd definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience
My little boy has been attending this nursery since he was 9 months old and is thriving at the age of 2!
Staff in each room he has been in go above and beyond with him!
Having to leave your child in any care setting can be difficult but we are lucky with Nurtured @ Northfield to have such approachable, caring and supportive staff!
My little one loves going to nursery now and I can't fault the staff and activities the children carry out.

I look forward to hearing how his day as been - he is always talking about the staff when he comes home.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Nurtured at Northfield
All the staff are incredibly friendly, kind, and are genuinely interested in the children, even the ones who no longer attend (except on sibling drop off/ pick ups)

All of our children have loved going and are excited to go in, which is reassuring knowing that they are looked after and have a great time

We cannot thank them enough!

Review from James O (Father of Child) published on 6 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has settled brilliantly at Nurtured at Northfield, and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The staff are warm, attentive, and clearly invested in each child's development. We especially value the strong focus on outdoor activities, including regular trips to the woods and the library, which have really helped her grow in confidence and feel comfortable in different environments. Her speech has also come on noticeably since attending.

The food is another highlight-home-made by the on-site chef, healthy, varied, and something she genuinely enjoys. The app gives us detailed daily updates, photos, and notes on her meals and activities, which helps us feel connected to her day. Overall, the nursery has had a very positive impact on her, and we're really pleased with our experience.

The nursery staff have been so supportive and get on well with both my children who attended. Excellent garden outside for playing in in the warmer weather. Both children settled in well. Good to keep updated through the day on the app. Really lovely nursery.

Overall Experience
Cannot recommend this nursery enough. My little boy Alfie absolutely loves it and he's made lots of little friends. The girls who have looked after him in several of the rooms since he started have been nothing short of amazing and the place is run so very well. I can tell he's really comfortable there which provides me so much reassurance and he loves all the extra curricular activities that the nursery provide. The chef is great and the meals provided are always varied, healthy and very tasty.

I would choose this nursery over and over again and it will be a very sad day when my little boy has to leave it for school!

We couldn't recommend this lovely nursery enough. My little boy has gone from strength to strength since he joined and comes home after each session so happy. The menus are changed each season with lots to offer and all made by the nursery chef. The nursery is not massive and I feel that all staff know my child very well. We love it here.

Review from C M (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can't speak highly enough of this nursery. Frank has been attending the Pre-School room and he's genuinely excited to go in every single day. He knows all the staff by name, which says so much about how warm, consistent and welcoming they all are. It's clear they build real relationships with the children, and it makes drop-offs so easy knowing he's happy and comfortable.

The activities are always varied and engaging, and we love how many themed seasonal events they plan throughout the year. From festive celebrations to creative dress-up days, there's always something fun happening. The family events are a real bonus too-it's lovely to be able to join in, meet other parents and feel part of the nursery community.

Frank is thriving here. The care, communication and enthusiasm from the team are outstanding. We would recommend this nursery without hesitation.

Review from Jason K (Father of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attends this Nursery and both me and my wife have seen her developing really well and Nurtured at Northfield plays a major part in this. The staff are always very friendly, engaging and helpful. They are always providing updates via the app on what she is doing through the day, what she has eaton and her nap times. She absolutely loves coming to this Nursery and it is so nice to see her very happy when she is left for the day. The management are brilliant and any concerns you may have are swiftly put to ease. The team of Chefs create amazing healthy food everyday and I think she eats better than me and my wife!

Thank you to the team at Nurtured @ Northfield for making my daughter's early years full of laughter and enjoyment.

Review from Lisa O (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with our experience at Northfield. The staff are warm, caring, and attentive, and that extends to all staff that our little one has contact with. She has built some brilliant relationships with staff members. The range of activities offered is fantastic, with a big emphasis on outdoor play and giving the children plenty of time to explore and learn in nature.

The menu is also excellent: varied, balanced, and clearly well thought out. The nursery regularly asks for feedback on the menus, and input from home. Communication with home has been strong too. The team are always responsive to any questions, and it's reassuring to feel well informed about my daughter's day.

Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. The fact that she settled so quickly is a real testament to the brilliant staff who have made her feel welcome, supported, and happy from day one.

Review from Kristina E (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We honestly can't praise this nursery enough. Our eldest has just left for school after being there since she was a baby, and she loved every stage. She was supported through every milestone and really understood as an individual.
The staff are always cheerful, kind and nurturing. Nothing is ever too much, and there's always something fun going on, such as little movers, walks to the park, parents stay-and-play sessions, and lots of lovely extras that make the days feel special.
Our younger daughter is there now and she's just as happy. She was very attached at first and took a while to settle, but the team were so patient and calm, working with her at her own pace. She is thriving there and loves the varied activities in each room and outside.

It means so much knowing our girls are somewhere safe, happy and genuinely cared for. We're so grateful for everything the nursery has done for them both.

Review from Rebecca R (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can't recommend Nurtured @ Northfield enough and we have had the most amazing experience with them. The time and effort they have put in to helping my little one to settle in is nothing less than outstanding. He has quickly gone from being really distressed at drop off and pick up time to asking for nursery on the days he isn't there and I am so grateful for the genuine care from the staff to help him with this! Every member of staff knows him by name and acknowledges him every time he walks in.

I can't fault any aspect of the nursery at all from the standard of the rooms inside, the amazing outside space, the wonderfully varied food menu, the extracurricular activities, the communication from staff (not just during the day while my little one is there but also the admin staff to help with any issues). The way they genuinely care for all of the children is clear to see and is the most reassuring thing ever as a parent leaving your child in someone else's care. Thank you all

Review from Kirsty B (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended Northfield for over 2 years. The nursery has so much to offer to develop independence, fine motor and social skills. They provide lots of different experiences from cooking, gardening and athletics. Staff are not scared of the English weather and always have activities set up in the garden and share weekly planning. Children are able to explore their local community via walks to the woods and park. Nursery arrange lots of parent days from Easter egg hunts to Christmas breakfast. The nursery staff are like a family and all staff keep you updated whilst children are there and share their journey on an app and social media (if agreed). They are able to answer any queries and put your mind at ease. My son always talks about books he has read and activities he has done at nursery. Thank you Northfield, you are outstanding.

My little boy has been attending Nurtured at Northfield since September 2025 and he is making amazing progress with his development & has made some wonderful connections to both staff and his peers. Our little boy does struggle with change but we know how well cared for and adored he is & the staff really do care deeply for the children & it has made his journey a lot easier (for him & us!). We love hearing about his day with the updates and photos that are shared & we couldn't be happier with our choice of Nursery. 100% recommend.
