All of the nursery staff are so friendly and approachable. The nursery itself has such a relaxing atmosphere and the surroundings are not overwhelming, unlike some other nurseries. My daughter settled in really fast which makes me feel at ease when I’m at work.

We couldn't be happier with Nurtured! Management and carers are all amazing! It's always super clean and the food is fantastic! Our little ones love the outdoor learning areas.
Couldn't ask for anything more from them.

I would recommend this nursery for all the right reasons, the standard is always 110%, my child has been with the nursery for over 6 years now. I feel happy in leaving him and knowing he will be very well cared for whilst I go to work, he is given every opportunity to try new things, come rain or shine,
the outdoor space is very good for outdoor learning. He comes home daily explaining what he has learnt about his surroundings and the many adventures he has had, the children learn with play. The staff also spend valuable time with each and every child, they bring out the best in all the children. The inside space for the children is very well thought out to enhance each and every experience, whilst teaching the children valuable life skills which also makes for happy children who work hard and are kind to each other also the meals are very good.

I couldn’t be more happy with Nurtured. My twins attend and have done since they were 6 months old and my 5 year old also attended. From the moment you arrive, the staff are there with the warmest of welcomes. They take great care and pride in getting to know each of the children, seeing them as the
unique individuals that they are, to best support, challenge them with appropriate development goals, ignite their interest and make the setting fun and rewarding for each child.


Every member of staff is truly outstanding and we feel so lucky to have such exceptional care for our children. I think Nurtured provides the perfect balance with the care I give the children at home as they have so many new, exciting, stimulating experiences, many of which are outdoor, active and involve nurturing their love of nature.


I can not recommend Nurtured highly enough and am going to be devastated come September when our twins move up to school!

My son absolutely loves Nurtured Nursery. He has been going there since he was 8 months and I am extremely impressed with the quality of childcare and learning environment that it provides. Whenever I collect him, he is always so excited to tell me what he has been up to that day. I am kept continuously
informed of his progress via his Learning Journey. Great outdoor space for exploring and playing. Amazing food.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attends St Winnow Nurtured Nursery 3 days a week and absolutely loves it!! The staff are so friendly and really care about the children, it feels like a little family. Since being at the nursery my daughter has grown in confidence, she has developed strong friendships with other children
and gets excited every morning to go to nursery, in fact, it's hard to get her out of there!! I have had times when I have needed her to go in on different days, and the staff have always done their very best to accommodate this. They have always been quick to let me know if there have been any problems and I trust them completely to provide the best care possible for my daughter. I 100% recommend Nurtured Nursery, it is so lovely and any child would be happy there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very supportive and enthusiastic nursery.
Our little boy settled immediately and loves to go, which makes it so much easier as a parent.
The staff are attentive and spend many hours inside and outside with the children, catering for all interests.
When I collect our boy, they are able to tell
me about his day and I find this so important as its hard enough having to go to work and not be part of their world.
The food choices are brilliant, resources and creativity are great along with communication.
Sad my child will be leaving for school in September.

My 3 year old has attended the nursery since he was 14 months old and the nursery have supported him at every stage of his development. He loves going to nursery and this is all down to the friendly and dedicated staff who work with you with regards to development. I am due to have twins shortly and
they will also be attending Nurtured Nursery, I can’t think of a better environment for my children. Well done to the fantastic team!

I had to take my child to nursery from an early age and to start off with, it made me very anxious. As soon as we walked into Nurtured Nursery St Winnow, this changed. Such a welcoming and lovely atmosphere. My son absolutely loves spending the days there and he has made lots of friends. Only problem
is trying to get him out of there at the end of the day. He just does not want to leave.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Nurtured Nursery St Winnow for 2 years and has thoroughly enjoyed it, he is now starting school. I drop him off at 8 am and collect him after tea. All I provide is a change of clothes. He receives excellent care, breakfast, lunch, tea and snacks provided. He is encouraged to
develop and the team are always keen to assist with any learning/development needs identified. The drop off is lovely with each child getting immediate attention and on collection a lovely summary of their day. I used another nursery before which was well below the standard Nurtured Nursery St Winnow provide but allows me to now appreciate the excellent service they offer. The children always seem happy and are offered lots of play and learning options. The outside area is wonderful and they seem to use it at every opportunity. I will miss the interaction, the wonderful learning journeys, the enthusiasm showed by all the staff and the quality of care provided. Thanks Nurtured for all you have done for us.

This is a really fantastic nursery with very dedicated and caring staff. There are lots of different and creative activities for the children to take part in, and the staff are always coming up with brilliant new ideas each week. There's a great outdoor ethos with the children spending lots of time
having fun outside. The inside and outdoor spaces are both great. Nothing is too much trouble, our daughter loves it there and is really flourishing. Great communication between staff and parents - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Our daughter has been going to the nursery since January 2017, at first she wasn't keen at being left behind but the staff were brilliant and now she loves going. The food is also great and our daughter nearly always has seconds! What I also like is that the children are encouraged to go out play as
often as possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has absolutely loved going to Nurtured Nursery for the past 2 years. She particularly enjoyed singing and would often come home singing songs she has learned at nursery. She struggled a little with the change in moving up to the Explorers room but the staff were very understanding and allowed
her to go and see the children and staff in the younger room if she wanted to, to help with the transition. The outdoor space is a really nice area for both rooms. It's great that the children can play with water, sand, paint and get messy; really important for them to have fun and also so they get it out of their system before they come home! We really appreciated the excellent home cooked food and variety of snacks. At this age, it helps them so much to enjoy different meals together as a group. Nurtured were also very flexible if I needed to change a day or timings. The learning journey books are a wonderful keepsake. Thank you for such a wonderful start to her learning!

My daughter has been attending Nurtured for some time now and she thoroughly enjoys it. The staff are friendly and every child has a key person who looks after them to ensure stability and comfort.


Ongoing learning journals are kept for each child, which is a lovely way of capturing their development

and growth. These are packed with photos and notes as to what they have been up to. As a parent, we get to review these periodically and it always surprises me just how much she has come on.


The range of activities available such as Forrest School, crafts, drawing/painting, dressing up and reading to name but a few, is extensive. When it is warmer there is an outdoor space including a fairy garden which is a big hit with her.


I would highly recommend Nurtured to any parent trying to decide which nursery is best for their child. A final bonus is the flexibility. It is open all year round which is good for routine.

Such a kind, gentle and understanding approach to childcare. One of the most potentially difficult things transformed into the most positive experience when deciding my daughter should start nursery. I feel she is cared for, nurtured and enjoyed in a way that makes us feel secure in our decision. She
has an enriching time with the lovely, lovely staff.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.292)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.292) out of 10 for Nurtured Nursery St Winnow 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 3.3 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 Nurtured Nursery St Winnow 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 3.292 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nurtured Nursery St Winnow 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.167
  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.
