  • Sapphires Nursery School, East Molesey
At Sapphires Nursery School, every child is like a precious jewel that has been carefully set in a royal crown. Teachers encourage them to interact together, relate to one another and have a real sense of joy and adventure, every day. Children are able to enjoy the secure, secret garden where they can explore and measure, dig and plant, or just enjoy the stream and watch the wormery. SNS are located just across the river from Hampton Court, at St Mary’s Church Hall in the heart of East Molesey. The family owned Nursery promises to provide children with a stimulating, nurturing and safe environment where every child is precious.

Every child can enjoy tasty, home cooked meals that have been freshly prepared. All food is locally sourced, free range and/or organic where possible and the team cater for all food allergies and preferences. Healthy snacks, organic milk and filtered water are available throughout the day.

Before the children eat, they are encouraged to give thanks for the food and good table manners are taught as the children grow. Inspired by a Christian foundation, SNS welcome children and families from all faiths and no faith.

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a walk around, I left pumped with information and a happy baby who loved the interactions with the staff. Weaning was difficult at home and now he eats everything and self feeds. We had a few issues at the beginning especially as he kept blowing out his nappies. The nursery was very kind - not
only with me, but also my baby, always inquisitive, asked loads of relevant questions. I now have the happiest child in BLUEBELLS, who has let the staff in his inner circle and eats proper nutritious meals. This place is very caring but also keen to do the right thing. The activities are tailored and thoughtful, the outings to the river are wonderful in the summer, they ensure every toy has at least 3 things about it that helps with development etc. Photos are shared on the app to help and they frequently share special moments. My little boy loves going everyday and I see how much he loves being around them. We also speak another language and they've even requested words.

Fantastic nursery. My son attended Sapphires since he was 20 months old and he has enjoyed every day since. The staff are very friendly and great with the kids.
Fantastic fresh food served every day by the in-house chef.
My daughter starts in August this year and I can't wait to see her develop and
make new friends. Well done Sapphires!

We find Sapphires Nursery School to be a unique nursery with a lovely ethos and approach to childcare. Based on established psychological principles they have created a great approach which has helped my child feel happy, secure and form strong bonds.


The structure and facilities at Sapphires are

impressive and they challenge the children's development through a range of activities from action sessions, french for the older children, indoor and outdoor play, taking them out and doing fun and interesting things in the nursery, like hatching ducklings!


The food is wonderful with my son loving everything he is given, and its really reassuring to know that he is getting varied, healthy, home-cooked, nutritionally balanced meals every day he attends Sapphires.


It is a beautiful nursery with some of the best childcare workers I have ever met, run very well, with the children's safety, happiness and development at the heart of it all. We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our son.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.083)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.083) out of 10 for Sapphires Nursery School 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 Sapphires Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 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 3.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sapphires Nursery School is based on 1 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 = 3
    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. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.083
  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.
