I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone in the local area looking for a nursery for their child(ren).
My little girl loves going and is happy / thriving at Northfield u5's. I love how all the staff know all the children by name and my little one is happy to go off with any member of staff in
the morning. They are all so lovely and great with the children. You really couldn't ask for a nicer team / nursery.
Since being at this nursery my little one has grown from a shy, reserved Covid baby who didn't want to leave my side, to a happy confident toddler who is happy to interact with anyone and everyone. She definitely wouldn't be where she is now without the support and assistance from nursery.

As a first time mum during this covid pandemic I was extremely anxious about my daughter starting nursery being so young and after many days of isolating she wasn’t used to the world but I can say now it is one of the best things I’ve done for her. The staff in Northfield Under 5's
are extremely amazing
with my daughter and have definitely encouraged her confidence. The staff are helpful and keep notifying progress every day for my child and reply promptly to any concerns. The nursery is clean and all children look well cared for and the food menu each day provide a variety and it’s nice to know it is all fresh. My daughter definitely enjoys her time at nursery as I received pictures of her smiling and she has created a great bond with her key workers.

My daughter has attended this nursery from being 9 months old, she is now 2.5 years. I knew on my walk round that this was the nursery for my daughter and my feelings have not changed since. I feel my daughter is in very capable hands, she is safe and very well looked after. The ladies are all very
friendly and deal with any issues and concerns parents have straight away and communication is great, I love the updates on the app! My daughter loves to go and ‘play with her friends’ and recently she even tried teaching me some sign language which just amazed me! Thank you to all the staff at Northfield Under 5's, my little boy will also be starting nursery in March and I know he will love it just as much as my daughter.

The nursery is fantastic. My daughter has been attending since been 3 months old and now is one and a half she has learnt a lot from nursery. I wouldn’t want her going anywhere else.
My step-son has also has been attending for 2 years and is so bright. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough.
The
app is great to let us know everything they are going at nursery and lots of pictures.

As a Mum of 2 children who have attended Northfield Under 5's, I’d have honestly been lost without them. My 16-month-old still attends there twice a week.
They are flexible and continue to willingly go the extra mile for us as a family.
Over the years the staff have become an extended part of our
family in regards to our children. They are familiar to our children and as parents we trust them.
Through Covid they have continuously protected our children from Covid, as hard as that task must have been, they have succeeded.
Lastly, The chef’s food is always eaten with extras by our kids, so hats off to him. Superman.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Northfield Under 5's nursery is an excellent nursery, and I wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else for our son to go. I was rightly recommended this nursery by lots of other friends and would recommend it to anyone. My son has gone from shy and quiet to a confident, chatty and sociable boy since he has
been attending since April this year. He gets so excited when we pull up to drop him off and when we tell him where he’s going in the morning. He has made lots of friends, and it’s clear when we pick him up that he is very fond of the staff too. He does lots of fun activities, which we get to see on the new app. Thank you to all the staff for all your hard work.

When I took custody of my niece, she was very behind for a 1-year-old, I was trying to fetch her update with milestones at home, but once she started nursery, she flew through the milestones and caught up amazingly. I couldn’t thank them enough; she’s been there nearly a year now and is so much more
independent, the staff are brilliant.

My twin daughters attend Northfield under 5s and before this my 5-year-old also attended.
Thank goodness the twins came along because I couldn’t comprehend not having Northfield Under 5s and its staff in our life.
All three girls have flourished under Northfields care and attention. It’s like a big
family.
All-day every day the activities are educational, fun and enhancing for the children. Particularly since they have adopted the curiosity approach, I have loved seeing the activities the girls get up to and the thought that goes into all that the children do.
I can see on my girl's faces when they leave how much fun they have had that day and how correctly stimulated they have been.
The new electronic app is effective for communication and allows me to communicate quickly with staff.
Thank you for all you do for the girls, the commitment to your roles and the care shown in what you do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child absolutely loves attending this nursery and he cannot contain his excitement when he sees the nursery staff, first thing in the morning. The nursery uses an app to effectively communicate with parents and share the children's learning. This is regularly updated to include photographs and observations
on your child's development and progress. The activities are always creative and varied and are delivered well to help the children meet their milestones. All members of staff are friendly, approachable and really do have the best interests of the children at heart. I know that when I leave my son at nursery, he is in safe hands and will be well cared for.

When it came to picking a nursery for my little boy I looked at several before picking Northfield nursery, I'd had the nursery recommended by a few of my work colleagues and I'd definitely not been disappointed with my choice. Within weeks of attending from 9 months old, little boy became so confident
and the staff there always made me feel at ease and kept me up to date with his progress. He has made friends for life and developed great relationships with the staff. The staff have always assisted me with how to encourage home learning and I always keep them up to date with changes at home and they as a setting have always implemented learning through his interests which makes me feel they value him and make him feel like not just a child at the setting but an overall part of the setting. Thank you, Northfield for all you have done and all you continue to do for my little boy.

A fantastic nursery! My daughter Has been attending here for almost a year and has come on so well during this time. The settling In process was really well-managed and all of the staff made sure me and my daughter were totally happy before she started full days. All members of staff know every child
by name, and you can tell that they genuinely care for them all. We get regular updates on activities, development etc and the food provided seems to be varied and have a great quality also.
The outside area is lovely and my daughter loves playing outside as much as she can. The premises also seem safe and well managed

My little boy has been going here for a few years now and he’s come on so much, from the start being around 9 months to now being 2 and a half his speech, communication and people skills have come on amazingly! He now knows sign language and even corrects me when I do it wrong! He looks forward to seeing
his friends in the morning and playing with all the different toys and doing the variety of activities that the staff have planned for him! The new app they use they keep up to date so I know how much he’s eaten, when he’s had an accident and they keep it updated with pictures of what they’ve been up to during the day, I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone in the local area!

Northfield Under 5's is an excellent nursery. My little girl has only been there since September this year, but she has already come on leaps and bounds. She thoroughly enjoys going to this nursery, and already I can tell she loves the staff who work closely with her. I love that they take photos and
regularly update parents with what their children have been doing whilst at nursery. I'd definitely recommend this day nursery if you are unsure where to send your child.

Northfield Under 5's is such a lovely place. My daughter started there from being just 6-months-old; she's now 2-years-old and her nursery days are her favourite days of the week! She learns so much with them, tries new foods, and it's lovely to hear about all of the fun she has when I pick her up.
It's brilliant to know that I can go to work with peace of mind that she's in a safe place and being well looked after.
I'd recommend Northfield Under 5's to any parent looking for a childcare provider.

I started my son at this nursery before the pandemic hit and was so relieved I did!
So many children missed out on the provision of childcare during that time, but Northfield upheld cover and delivered a wonderful and safe environment. I’m so grateful for this time, as it kept my son mixing with his
peers and helped to support vital learning milestones. The staff are a wonderful, friendly bunch who my son loves dearly!

Northfield Under 5's is an absolutely outstanding nursery! My little girl loves going there. She has learnt and grown so much in the 3 years that she has been here and I have every confidence that she will continue to do so. All of the staff are an absolute credit to the nursery, and always professional.
Our experience there has been first class. Not once have we ever felt that we cannot approach staff and any queries we have had have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. If you are unsure about where to send your child, I would 1000% recommend you send them here, you won't be disappointed!

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.
