Review from Tejal M (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and attentive to our child's needs. Our child settles well thanks to the caring environment and the thoughtful approach of the team.
The nursery offers a fantastic balance of play, learning, and development. We've seen real progress in confidence, communication,
and social skills. The activities are creative and engaging, and it's clear the staff put a lot of effort into making each day productive for children.
We always feel informed and involved. The regular updates, photos, and feedback give us peace of mind and show just how much the staff care.
Highly recommended to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child!

I have 2 kids at the nursery as of September 2025 and so far we have not had any distasteful experience. The nursery teachers are all very welcoming and friendly.
The communication with parents is really great and my children's development in all areas have definitely been enhanced since they joined.
I
would recommend for anyone looking for a nursery that gives you the peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ryan has been attending the Nursery for just 7 months now and I'd like to take this opportunity to share our thoughts so far. With the great support and guidance of the staff at Yanton way Nursery Ryan has really developed into a very bright and intelligent 1year and 11 months old. His great attitude
and intellectual mind is a plus to the entire team as they have been very welcoming, friendly and kind to Ryan. Yanton Way Nursery have created an incredible atmosphere for him to learn and play with great pressure. The nursery is very clean and well structured and the day is planned around fun games and activities. The nursery is respectful of all faiths and backgrounds, and try their best in introducing the children to fun loving activities and significant calendar days. The meals are always on time, well planned and healthy and the children also get to enjoy a very essential nap during the day. Yanton Way Nursery take very seriously the general health of children at the nursery.

This is my son's first nursery placement and he is two years old. The staff at Yarnton Way Nursery have been so kind, gentle, and welcoming, which made the transition much easier for both of us. They take the time to really get to know the children and create a warm, safe environment where my son feels
happy and comfortable.
I especially appreciate how thorough they are with their feedback, I always know how his day has gone, what he's enjoyed, how much his eaten etc.
I'm really pleased with our experience so far and grateful for the care and attention they give to my little one. I would highly recommended them.

Review from L T (Father of Child) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our son receives at Yarnton Way Nursery. He attends 2-3 days a week and every time we drop him off, we know he's in the best hands.
What stands out the most is how attentive and communicative the team is. We receive constant updates throughout the
day - from what he has eaten, to activities he's enjoyed, to how he's progressing in his learning and development. These updates mean so much to us as parents we always feel connected and reassured about how he is doing.
The staff are warm and caring and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and learning journey.
Thank you to all the staff at Yarnton Way Nursery for amazing work you do!

My 1 year old son has been in the nursery for a month now and we are happy with his progression and with the staff of the nursery so far. I can see how much my son is enjoying nursery from the updates through the app. He wasn't the best eater at home but since being at nursery has really improved which
makes me feel less stressed! It has only been a month but I can see how much more confident my boy has become.

My daughter started at this nursery when she was 10 months old and has just left to move on to Reception. We have loved our experience here so much that my 11 month old has now just started too. The staff are so friendly, kind, and caring, and they always communicate well with parents. I have complete
trust in the nursery and feel so confident leaving my children in their care.

Review from Lydia J (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Yarnton Way Nursery for nearly three weeks now, and even in this short time, I have been deeply impressed by the level of care and dedication shown by the team. As any parent knows, starting nursery can be a huge adjustment-especially for little ones who find transitions challenging.
For my son, who has a speech delay and needed extra support settling in, this was particularly true.


What makes this nursery stand out is the incredible patience and professionalism of the staff. They've handled his difficult adjustment with such calmness and consistency, always offering reassurance-not only to him, but to me as a parent, too. Their strong communication is something I especially appreciate; I'm kept well-informed about his day, progress, and emotional wellbeing, which builds trust and puts my mind at ease.


It's clear that the team genuinely cares about each child. They don't just manage children-they nurture them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started going to this nursery at 16 months of age. It's been 3 months so far and we're happy.
Learning graph went quickly up in last 3 months, picking up new words, overcoming social anxieties in meeting new people, self sleeping & learning to eat with a spoon.


She is able to have company

of many other similar age kids & play with stuff which is difficult to arrange at home such as sand, rice & playing out in the open.


She has been the only girl in her class so naturally everyone knows her by name whether staff or her peers. I find it satisfying that all staff members are aware of her current progress & habits.


The kitchen offers fresh and variety of foods which we may have not thought of offering at home. They understand religious diet restriction too.


Their app is amazing to record progress, observations, photos.
I was made very comfortable during the initial transitioj period. Staff & management is doing an excellent job in maintaining relationships with parents too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2 year old son currently goes to Yarnton and he really enjoys it. Within a few weeks we noticed improvements in his speech and ability to follow routine. Yarnton really takes an interest in the child's individual needs. We get updates in the app on his progress and how he is developing which also
helps us to know how we can support at home. The manager is really engaged. She has a clear passion for children and seeing them develop. My eldest son also went to Yarton and is now doing really well in Primary school. I would definitely recommend Yarnton to any parent looking for a nursery that focuses on individual needs of children.

Very happy with care provided to my child at the nursery. Staff seems very alert to child's need, communicates effectively any concerns they might have directly (sometimes they use the app for reminders which is handy) and my baby who is currently 14 months is progressing well under their care. There
is a wealth of activities to help them develop most of their skills and understand the world around them.

My child started the nursery in September 2024. He was very nervous and anxious but the support and encouragement given from all staff made it a very easy and quick turnaround for him and also me as his mum. Going here has also made him become such a better eater and speaker. I'm very happy I chose
this nursery and my child gets very excited about going on the days he attends. Thank you to all at Yarnton Way Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) out of 10 for Yarnton Way Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.828 for Yarnton Way Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (378 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 454 Ratings = 4.828
  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 Yarnton Way Nursery is based on 38 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 38 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.
