Our child has really enjoyed his time at this nursery. Under the new management system I can see lots of positive changes (not that it was awful prior), the garden is better utilised and the children are encouraged to grow vegetables and learn about nature.
This nursery are excellent at reading with
the children and having themed weeks, which we can then continue at home.
The only thing I wish they'd do more is update parents on what our children are doing each week. They have the app but updates are very sparse, currently 2 this year on the child with photos.


The staff seem to really care about the children, and the manager is excellent.

Reply from Hannah Harber, Parent Liaison Advisor at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm so pleased to hear your child has enjoyed their time at the nursery and that you've noticed the positive changes under the new management - from making the most of the garden to introducing activities like growing vegetables and exploring nature. It's great to hear how much you value the themed weeks and reading sessions too. I also really appreciate your comment about updates on the app. We're always looking for ways to improve communication with parents, so I'll make sure your feedback is passed on to the team for consideration. It's wonderful to hear how highly you think of the staff and the manager - I know they'll be delighted to hear your kind words.

Our daughter is coming to the end of her time at Ashington Nursery and we couldn't have asked for a better setting. She has had the most wonderful 4 years of play, nurture and development from the amazing staff who show such care and attention. Her key workers have always supported her and us through
milestones, struggles and achievements, getting to know her so well and as a result we have a confident little girl, ready to start school in September! The nursery offer a lovely range of activities and opportunities both inside and outside in the fantastic garden! She always comes out smiling with a bag full of drawings and crafts she has completed that day! The recent graduation event was so well organised and was such a lovely way to finish her time at the nursery with her friends. We can't thank you enough for the love and care that you show day in, day out. Special shout out to one member of staff who our daughter adores and to another, who has taken the time to develop our daughters love of learning!

Reply from Hannah Harber, Parent Liaison Advisor at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. It's wonderful to hear how much your daughter has enjoyed her four years at Ashington and how supported you've felt through each milestone. Your kind words about the team, the activities, and the graduation celebration truly mean a lot, and I'll make sure to share them with everyone involved. It's lovely to know the nursery has played a part in helping her grow into the confident, happy girl who's now ready for school.

This is such a wonderful nursery. The activities are engaging and blend perfectly for fun and learning. The team are welcoming, encouraging and supportive of my little boys needs and personality. They've helped him settle into the next room and create such a safe and nurturing environment. It's so lovely

After having a rocky experience with a childminder as my son's first experience of outside family care, coming to Ashington Nursery has been such a breath of fresh air. The team in the baby snug have been so caring and patient while my son settles over the last couple of months and he's come on leaps
and bounds with them. Barely any tears at drop off and enjoys his time while in their care. Can't recommend the nursery enough. Thank you!

My Daughter started in September 2024 and was welcomed with such love and care. Her keyworker is amazing with her and mentioned that speech therapy was need for my daughter (something a different nursery failed to help with) which was addressed and dealt with immediately. Communication throughout the
day of what the children have been up to, with pictures is so lovely. Every afternoon on pick up we get a run down of her day has been (good or bad). One lady has been working with her to help with pronouncing words and stringing sentences and the difference is amazing! Other ladies are always there with literal open arms which just makes the start of the day so fun! They have a fab manager and you can see how much fun the children have throughout the day! I can't thank all the staff enough for everything they have done for my daughter. Would recommend to all parents who are thinking of putting their child into nursery!

Reply from Jess Robertson, Social Media Co-ordinator at Ashington Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your daughter has felt so welcomed and supported since joining us. It's fantastic to know that the support with speech development has made such a positive change and that communication with parents is a key part of her experience. We're so proud of our amazing team and it's wonderful to hear how much their care and dedication is making a difference.

Our son started in the baby snug a year ago, he settled so quickly at the nursery. We get good updates on the app throughout the day and a more detailed update at the end of the day. As parents, we find these updates excellent. Our son's key worker has been amazing helping with his development from
weaning to his speech, we have regular catch-ups on how he is doing and what they can do to support him.
All of the baby snug staff know what our son's interests are and ensure that the activities set out for the day include his interests. They also know his favourite song to play! If his key worker has left for the day, we still get a very detailed rundown of his day from other staff which just shows that the communication between the baby snug team is great and that all staff have a good bond with our son. He is so happy at the end of the day he doesn't want to leave.

Our son started nursery in April 2024 in the Toddler Den. We cannot thank the team enough for their support, encouragement and overall engagement in making all of us feel comfortable and confident from day one. He has been thriving ever since, really looking forward to going to nursery every day - and
even being reluctant to be picked up at the end of the day as he does not want the fun to stop! Everyone on the team is so friendly, they know all of the children very well and make sure they grow into themselves and develop their unique skills and personalities. The nursery has a very familiar, welcoming feeling and there's always a great vibe of conviviality and fun whenever we go in for drop off/ pick up. Staff and management have gone above and beyond to cater for our child who suffers from an allergy, and we really feel he is in safe hands.
We are so happy, and would 100% recommend.

We would really recommend this nursery. The staff are super friendly and thoughtful planning out activities and keeping us updated. Our two children really enjoy their time in the baby room and preschool and have built special bonds with the team. The new garden is fantastic and it is evident that the
children think so too, outdoor play is really encouraged and the children are able to mix and play together.
The baby room has been extra supportive with our youngest and we receive some great updates and photos throughout the day, where we can see what activities they are up to with their friends. They eat better than us with their onsite chef and often end up eating seconds or even thirds! We are very happy with our experience which is largely due to the amazing caring staff and management team - they are a real asset to the nursery.

Good morning, thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave such a wonderful review! We love our outdoor play and firmly believe that children thrive and flourish in nature! The children and practitioners all love their new garden too and are spending as much time out there as possible! Communication and maintaining the nursery and parent relationship are so important to us, so it is great to hear that the use of our app is so effective. I love the food too, when I visit the nurseries I always make sure have a little plate! We put a lot of work into our menu, working with a nutritionist to make sure that every meal is both delicious and nutritious!

Ashington is a happy, kind nursery with dedicated loyal staff who have improved this nursery in a short space of time into a place where my son thrives, and where he’s built special relationships with other children and staff.
The communication with parents is open, good and consistent. This includes
a board of staff, activities and meals for the day ahead.
The nursery goes that bit further with ideas including cookery time, acting out story books, themed activities and creating crafts for special dates of the year to send home.
The new garden is a lovely space for exploring, and children are encouraged to spend time outside every day.
The nursery has an excellent chef with fresh food every day.
Ashington has an excellent manager who clearly leads by example, with kindness and passion for making this nursery the wonderful place it is for all children.

My daughter has been attending since October 2023.
We did lots of settling sessions as she was very clingy with me and she quickly formed bonds with the lovely ladies in the baby room.
She is thriving at the nursery and she is very happy to be going to see the lovely ladies and the other children
in the baby room each week.
She eats a wide variety of food all cooked on site by the amazing chef.
There is a lot of outdoor play in the garden and always doing activities inside.
All the lovely staff treat both my children with so much love.
She is getting amazing care - certainly the best decision to send both my children to Ashington Nursery.

Hi - thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! It's wonderful to hear that your daughter has transitioned to nursery with the help of our team. We put a huge emphasis on that settling-in period, as it can be stressful for children (and parents!) to start nursery, so it's really great to see that it is working. The team at the nursery are so wonderful, and I too get that warm and cosy feeling when I visit! We are really proud of our menu - I always make sure to visit the nurseries at lunchtime so I can have a plate of the lovely food!

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
