Number 9 has been a truly wonderful nursery experience for our family. Our son attended for three years and loved every minute - and now our daughter has just "graduated" as she prepares to start school in September. It's the end of a very special chapter for us.


What makes Number 9 so exceptional

is the people. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's happiness and development. You can feel the warmth and joy the moment you walk through the door.


Both of our children have thrived here - not just academically, but emotionally and socially. They've come home singing songs, proudly showing off their arts and crafts, and talking about feelings and kindness in a way that's been so lovely to witness. Number 9 doesn't just prepare children for school - it nurtures them as people.


We'll always be grateful for the love, patience, and dedication shown by everyone at the nursery. Thank you, Number 9, for giving our children the best possible start.

Reply from Denise Mullins, Manager at Number 9 The Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review, it has been a pleasure watching her grow in confidence and now ready for reception. We wish you all well.

Our daughter was at Number 9 from 10 months old until school age. She loved the nursery as did we. The staff are so welcoming, warm, supportive and patient. They'd always greet us with a smile and were brilliant with our sensitive, strong minded, sharp little one :)
She blossomed during her time
at number 9 and we're so grateful. The team always go the extra mile.
We're a year on now and our little girl is now well settled in her school. She still fondly talks about Number 9 and misses her teachers.
We highly recommend Number 9 to any parents looking for a safe, supportive, nurturing nursery for their child...just please save us a space if we have another little one in the future!

My boy started in number nine since 6 months. He is well taken care of and the staff are nice and helpful. He moves to the toddler room and he loves the nursery. When I asked my boy about his life in the nursery, he always answers me with a big smile. I think this is the kind of nursery children and
parents love.

Simply the best nursery in the area (and beyond). The effort the team goes to to ensure a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for the children is just incredible. They organise a great diverse range of activities and things for the children to do. Watching my 3yr old come home being able to start to
read and write her own name is pretty cool. I can highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about Number 9. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and truly dedicated to the well-being and development of every child. The nursery really makes it feel like a home from home environment.

My child has made excellent progress at Number 9 over the last 3.5 years. The pre-school team are doing an exemplary job of getting him ready for primary school, with the embedding of phonics in particular. His homework is manageable and effective, and really helps us understand what he needs to do
to transition to primary. We feel this is setting him up for success for this September and hope the same will apply for our other child who is in the baby room currently.

Great nursery. Our daughter loves going and her day is packed with activities throughout the day.
Compared to the other nurseries we reviewed, number 9 was by far the one with the best facilities (especially the outdoor space) and the cleanest.
Since attending we can see why its rated so well on
legitimate day care sites as the staff are great too.

Our son was in the Baby room at Number 9 The Nursery for a year and absolutely loved it. He was so well cared for and looked after and I felt so confident that he would be happy there during the day. He settled in so well, participated in lots of different activities and events and was always welcomed
with lots of smiles and cuddles. He has developed so much since he's been at Number 9 and has thrived so much. The staff are lovely, office staff always so helpful and responsive and I couldn't recommend Number 9 more.

My daughter has attended Number 9 since she was 7 months during Covid. We soon found out how reassuring the place was for her and the entire family. She would not have been who she is now without the constant support, care and fun she had at Number 9. They play outside all the time and she's now an
outdoor girl rain or shine! We saw such a big difference from my older son's nursery (which was also lovely but nothing like Number 9) - well-structured, amazing staff who are all super trained and provide numerous opportunities to learn various things. We as a family could not be more grateful for the love and care the nursery has provided and I would recommend to anyone local here.

Both my children have flourished under the care and guidance of Number 9 Nursery. My boy showed signs of Autism which the team supported with his application for an assessment. The team worked with us to be more aware of his needs and tailor their support to meet his needs. He was always happy attending
and it was a joy to see him grow and develop under Number 9's care. Thank you

My little daughter came to Number 9 when she was two years old. They helped me realize that there was something wrong with my child, and I promptly consulted a doctor who diagnosed her with autism. I have to say that during such a difficult time, they really provided me with tremendous support. I can
deeply feel that my daughter is loved. Her care worker is truly an angel, and I am completely at ease leaving my child with them. The manager here is a very kind lady; you know she is doing her utmost to help you. I feel that both my child and I are very fortunate to have encountered such a nursery. Oh, by the way, my elder daughter also graduated from here.

Having had two children attend the nursery and my youngest about to start school, I'm genuinely gutted we have to leave! Couldn't have wished for a better setting for my daughters. Number 9 has been incredibly friendly, supportive and nurturing. My girls (and I) have made brilliant friends too. I am
confident they have the skills to make a flying start at school. And not to be underestimated, the office staff are also fantastic, the systems used are easy and efficient and the communication is excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Number 9 to anyone.

My son started in the baby room in November 2023 and as a new mother, with all the bad news surrounding nurseries, I was apprehensive about sending him to one and going back to work. The assistant manager made both of us feel right at home and from day 1 my son has never cried about going to nursery.
The staff in the baby room have ensured my little boy is well looked after and they constantly provide updates throughout the week on how he's doing. Sending my son here was the best decision I've ever made.

Number 9 The Nursery is an outstanding nursery. My little girl attended the nursery for two years before moving to a preschool (we only moved so that she would be familiar with the school she would be attending in September) and she loved being there. My little boy has recently started and took a while
to settle, during which the team in the baby room were so lovely and supportive and consequently, he is now very happy and settled at Number 9 (very attached to his key worker which is a great sign!) The facilities are fantastic, there is a lot of space for the children. The outdoor space is one of the best I’ve seen at a nursery and the activities are amazing - they have classes in the week included in the price (e.g. baby ballet, sing and sign) and they have chicks/ducklings which hatch around spring and reindeer at Christmas which are very exciting for the children. The food is also excellent. All nurseries are expensive but you get what you pay for at Number 9 and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

They do a fantastic job keeping parents informed of what areas they're working on in preschool, they are extensive. It's really comforting to know that every aspect

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Number 9 The Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.978 for Number 9 The Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.978

  • b) 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 Number 9 The Nursery is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 23 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.
