This is the best nursery, me and my son both love it, the staff are so lovely and they do some fantastic things with them every day. The food they do is really nice and healthy too. My son settled straight away and made lots of friends.

Fantastic nursery.
My 1-year-old goes every week and enjoys himself.
My child doesn't like leaving us but has settled well there with the staff.
The staff are lovely and my child is well looked after.
We are well informed throughout the day which is lovely to see.
Would definitely recommend Nurtured
@ Northfield.

My little girl attends Nurtured @Northfields and I can honestly say the team and setting are exceptional. We started at a different setting to which we had some issues and transferring my daughter to Northfields was the best decision we made. Can not fault the team or setting in any way, they have been
supportive in terms of additional needs (SEN) and assessments for our child ensuring that she has a plan tailored to her own specific learning requirements. My daughter loves her school days and has a fabulous attachment to the team that work to meet her every need, whilst in the setting. Communication is outstanding and the team is so nurturing. Thank you, Northfield!

My child has been going to Nurtured @Northfield since 2022 following the positive feedback of my nephew who loved attending. I couldn't find fault in any of the staff, they all have a keen eye for detail and provide an amazing environment for each child to develop and grow individually, whilst constantly
being in a safe environment. The app ensures updates on their well-being and activities plus photos to see how much fun they are having. My second child is already signed up, I wouldn't want to use any other setting for them.
Reply from Elizabeth Kemsley, Area manager at Nurtured @ Northfield
Such a lovely review, thank you so much. It's great that you love the environments, staff and app too. Thank you also for choosing us for your second little one.

My child has attended Northfield for the past year. In this time he has developed emotional and socially. The menu offers a wide variety of foods which are healthy but appealing to the kids. Each member of the team post via the family app keeping us updated. They often review his progress and send us
updates on his development. Mark the chef posts healthy recipes and asks for menu selections. They host many themed events such as Yorkshire day, sports days, world book day etc. All staff know the children so well and our little boy feels confident approaching them all. We are so grateful to the staff at Northfield.

Both of my children attend Northfield and settled in so quickly - the staff are fabulous and we have been impressed with the extracurricular activities they do. They create a family environment and have been very flexible around extra sessions.
It's so important for parents to feel their children
are being cared for adequately and I can honestly say this nursery makes me feel so at ease when dropping off/picking up.
My children have come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery and would recommend it to any parent.

My daughter has been with the nursery in a funded place since November and she absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and always so happy and smiley with the children. We are always kept informed on how our daughter is doing and the staff are always happy to have a chat or answer any questions we
have. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining, not only with things she is learning but with her confidence too. We can't forget to mention the chef and the food! My daughter loves nearly everything she is given at nursery and the variety and menu choices are incredible.

Nurtured at Northfield has consistently been outstanding. My little girl who has a very shy character has come out of her shell over the last 12 months and this is solely because of the staff encouraging her through 1 to 1 play. Building into group sessions. This has been such a massive result for her
to start her next journey in September. I also have a little boy at this nursery, who is a big personality. They welcome him with open arms and he walks happily straight in. (Which is a miracle as he is a Velcro baby). Nothing is ever a problem or too big of a deal for them to be happily willing to support and help you. They have a brilliant understanding that all children do their own thing in their own time. They are always at the top of the list in regards to recommending to other mums. They are without doubt the best nursery within the local area. I will be very sad to see them leave such a wonderful place as their first step into play and education.

Honestly cannot praise this nursery enough! My child left here to start shool in 2021 and now my youngest child is starting here and I can honestly say the staff are the most friendly and supportive staff, my daughter found it hard to settle back when she started her nursery experience and all the staff
kept me as a parent calm and reassured that my daughter would be OK and I'd be informed of every little step of her day in which I was. Now it's time for my little boy to start those nerves have all flooded back but I have already spoken to staff who have been nothing but supportive and reassuring of my little boy's journey to start. Such a wonderful heartfelt nursery who really do take pride in their jobs of caring for our babies.

Having viewed a number of nurseries for our little one, Nurtured @ Northfield immediately had the most welcoming and caring feel; twelve months on we couldn't be happier with our choice. All of the staff know each of the children as individuals and the communication between practitioners and parents,
both in person and via the app, is brilliant. The activities planned by the staff are fantastic, and the children are outside at every opportunity. The most important part is seeing how happy our son is each day when we pick him up!

My son is thriving at this nursery, every member of staff have taken the time to know him and have a lovely relationship with him.
They’ve thought of everything for activities and all the rooms are really nicely laid out and decorated and it's safe for the kids to move between them.
My son is the
only one in his class whom can’t walk and within the first couple of days extra care and support was given to him, arranged by the staff from inside and outside the nursery. I’m so impressed and at ease knowing he’s fully supported.
The cook is amazing and my son eats more than ever when he’s there, which is always rich nutritious meals and snacks.
I have an online account where I can see pictures and updates about my son’s development and time at the nursery and they have plenty of lovely special days to document.
I have been to many nurseries in my years of being a mother and this is by far the best, highly recommended and I can’t thank them enough for their continued support.

The most wonderful group of staff and a really lovely nursery, I'm so grateful for them. It's such a huge adjustment to leave your little one at nursery, but everyone at Northfield couldn't be more on hand to settle in the children and put the parents' minds at rest. My little boy has adored his time
here and has come on leaps and bounds with his communication and confidence since going. You get a real sense of genuine care from everyone there and you can see they love what they do and the children love them for it.

My daughter attends this nursery three days per week and absolutely loves it. The staff are very nurturing towards her and I know that she is in safe hands when I drop her off in the morning. The app that they use to communicate with parents is very effective, as the staff update it regularly with information
on my child's milestones and the progress she is making towards them through observations. I can't recommend this nursery enough!

Our eldest son went from Toddler 1 through to preschool at Nurtured @ Northfield and throughout two plus years we don’t have a single bad word to say about the setting. The practitioners are amazing with the children and care so much about the children's development, management are amazing and always
reaching out and checking in. Our youngest son has recently started in the baby room and loves it, I never thought I’d be comfortable leaving our baby as young as 8 months in a nursery, but knowing he’s at Nurtured @ Northfield fills me with confidence knowing he’s with the best. The food is also outstanding and really sets the nursery out from the rest!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Northfield 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 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 4.934 for Nurtured @ Northfield is calculated as follows: ( (372 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 394 Ratings = 4.934
  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 @ Northfield 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, 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.
