Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery since 2023, and I can confidently say it has been an incredibly positive experience from the very beginning. The staff are amazing - kind, caring, and genuinely engaging with the children. It's clear that they take the time to build meaningful connections
with each child, making them feel safe, supported, and excited to come in every day.
The range of activities provided is fantastic and always varied, keeping things fresh and stimulating for the children. Whether it's creative play, outdoor fun, or learning-based tasks, my daughter comes home happy and full of stories about her day - a true sign that she's thriving in the environment.
Management is also worth highlighting - they're approachable, understanding, and maintain clear and consistent communication. Any questions or concerns are always dealt with quickly and professionally, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent.
I'm so grateful to have found such an amazing setting

I have had an easy time getting my child involved in nursery. They are great at keeping me up to date with everything going on regarding my child's learning.
The only issue is the loss of some of my sons clothes but I am at fault for not always putting his name on them and when kids are coming in
from outside and they all need changed then there's going to be some loss of clothing. I do always get it back though


Everyone is so nice and the relationships my son has built with the teachers and management and his peers has been a blessing to watch

My son has attended The Barnehage Nursery since he was 9 months old and is currently about to sadly leave to go to school. He has had a blast at nursery enjoying lots of fun adventures to the woods and the amazing activities provided by the staff. We are fortune enough that he created an amazing bond
with his keyworker who he had in the poppies playroom and fortune enough to have them again in the sunflowers. We are so thankful to all the staff at The Barnehage Nursery and the amazing experience that has been given to my son!

We are so glad that we chose The Barnehage for our daughter. The staff really make the place, and it's clear how much they care for the kids. Whenever we have questions we just send a message on the app and always get a quick response, which really puts your mind at rest. We love the focus they have
on the kids playing outside and going for walks. Our daughter is always happy to see the staff in the morning and we are always confident she will have a great day.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 11 months old and has worked her way through Buttercups, Daisies and now in the Poppies. All the staff who work here are very friendly and take pride in their jobs. They care for the children a lot and it shows when you talk to them and see how they
interact with the children. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being in this nursery and I have just managed to secure her funded placement here for when she turns 3. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The staff in the Daisies room which my 20mo daughter attends are absolutely fantastic. We are fortunate that staff rotated from the baby room which also aided our daughters transition. The staff are so attentive, they are genuinely invested in our daughter, celebrate each key milestone with us and always
provide regular updates throughout her day should we ask over and above the general daily report. We are so fortunate to have found such a great nursery and could not be happier.
All of the staff and our girls OG key workers you are all amazing and honestly such a credit to your nursery. The bond our little girl has with you all is so amazing to see.

Can't speak highly enough of all staff at the Barnehage. They go above and beyond for the children, providing great activities and keeping them engaged. My wee one absolutely loves her keyworker, and all of the other staff members in her room. She looks forward to playing with her friends and loves
to tell me all about the fun things that happened during the day. She has attended 4 days a week since turning 1 and has absolutely thrived under the care of everyone at Barnehage.

My daughter has been at this nursery for nearly a year since she was 10 months old and she loves it! She started in the baby room and is now in the toddler room and is thriving! The staff are great and very helpful and they always have activities planned to keep the wee ones stimulated.

My son goes to breakfast club and holiday club. He has had great fun and days out since joining. They post pictures for you to view and see what the children have been doing that day. Also very flexible should something crop up and require an extra day.

My daughter went to this nursery from age 3 until school, and currently uses the breakfast club, which she loves. And my son started when he was 2. This is a great nursery and I can highly recommend it. My son loves going in and spending time with his friends and teachers and exploring the local woods
and parks. He has come on so much since starting. The staff are great and you can tell they genuinely care about your wee ones. The kids also love getting to see the nursery's pet bunnies, and were even lucky enough to get to have them home for a weekend.

I can't praise this nursery enough. My wee girl has came on leaps and bounds and initially shy has came out of her shell and learned so many skills. All staff are approachable and really do go above and beyond. Especially my daughter's key worker. My daughter started 6 months ago and loves her weekly
session.

My son joined in August 2024. The staff have been so helpful with the transition. They are very caring and supportive of my sons needs especially as he was struggling with settling in. They offered various options to help him settle in. The communication is great and prompt. It is lovely receiving a
photo and messages. When picking him up the staff always take time to give a handover of how the day went. Very happy with the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for The Barnehage Nursery & Out of School Care 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.922 for The Barnehage Nursery & Out of School Care is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.922
  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 4.702 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Barnehage Nursery & Out of School Care is based on 16 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.8 = 0.702
  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.
