Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Cheltenham Nursery School is such a wonderful place. The staff are amazing and go out of their way to support and communicate everything that happens each day. My son loves every minute and has never resisted going in each day. The new building is second to none in the area and caters for everything
a young child needs in their development at an early age. Being connected to The Prep School offers even more opportunities with incredible grounds, facilities and specialist staff. Having been to another local nursery prior to this one, I can 100% say that this is an outstanding nursery. I feel very lucky to be able to send my son here and would highly recommend to anyone in the Cheltenham area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Cheltenham Nursery School since April 2022 and he has thrived since joining. The care from all the staff is amazing, everyone is so warm and welcoming and they all have great knowledge of the child's individual interests. The activities on offer are incredible and include French,
PE, music, outdoor learning and wellbeing all taught by specialist staff. The facilities in the new nursery school are outstanding and we really do feel our son is getting the best possible preparation for school in this first-class setting.

We are so delighted with Cheltenham College Nursery. Our little girl is so happy there and every day is a different and exciting adventure! From fun at Forest School to singing in French, specialist PE lessons or baking extravaganzas, we are amazed at what the wonderful team create for them. The new
facilities are fantastic but for us, the most special part is feeling as though we are leaving her in the care of family each day!

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.292)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.292) out of 10 for Cheltenham 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 Cheltenham Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 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 3.292 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cheltenham Nursery School is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.167
  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.

Rebecca Hughes-Noon

Job Title: Head of Cheltenham Pre-Prep Joined: 2022

What are your qualifications?


I read Geography at St. Andrews (M.A.), gained my PGCE from Goldsmiths and completed my NPQEL with Best Practice Network.


What is your favourite aspect of being Head of Pre-Prep?


I have always loved the infant and early years stage of childhood development. This is the magic time for children, when every experience is fresh and exciting, imagination runs wild, and laughter goes hand-in-hand with curiosity and wonder about the world around us!


Why did you choose Cheltenham Pre-Prep?


This is my dream job! I have aspired to be in such a role since I started my career. I am leading the educational phase I love, working with forward thinking, modern, fun, brilliant colleagues, children and families. Cheltenham Prep School is an environment which puts the holistic and wellbeing needs of children at the centre of our practice and pedagogy.


What makes you passionate about working with children of Pre-Prep age, specifically?


The tiny smiles, hands and bright-eyed awe with which young children view the world is heart-warming and makes me very happy. I truly have the best job in the world.


What are your interests and hobbies?


I love the outdoors, and really enjoy sports - cycling and running are particular favourites. Something I will never forget was completing the 'Ampler Challenge' a few years ago. I cycled from Palermo to Sorrento, Italy (900km) in just 10 days!

Job Title: Head of Cheltenham Nursery School Joined: 2018

How long have you worked at Cheltenham Prep School?


This is my fourth year working at The Prep, I started in September 2018!


What is your favourite part about working at the Nursery School?


The team of people around you are brilliant and everyone is happy to help out. I love all the different characters working at Cheltenham Prep and how involved everyone gets in the amazing, themed days.


What does a typical day involve for you at the Nursery School?


My day starts with talking with the team in the Nursery School, then welcoming the children and their families. Then we meet in our groups for some 'carpet time'. The day is filled with specialist lessons and lots of play. In the summer we spend more time outside enjoying the warm weather and maybe lots of water play. After lunch (which is now in the Dining Hall with the whole of Pre-Prep) we have a rest time or pull on our wellies and puddle suits and head out to the Outdoor Learning Classroom, or the Forest School. Following this we enjoy our delicious well-earned snack and then come together for a storytime on the carpet. It is a busy, full-on day for everyone, so some rest is definitely needed ready to start all over again the next day.
