My son has been at this nursery since a baby he attends full time and is 2 and an half now and has always enjoyed attending . My other two sons attended another great nursery years ago and I can honestly this is more friendly and caring. The staff are very caring and always put his needs first nothing
is too much trouble. He talks fondly of the staff at home. He's always happy and his development has been amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others despite what ofsted rating ( that is NOT a reflection on the level of care children receive at this nursery )Another great thing is nappies wipes milk suncream all included too!

My eldest child attended Sandhills Heath Mill, so it was the natural choice when deciding where to send my youngest. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They listen to you and support you with your parenting choices while they are at nursery like naps. The range of activities is amazing and my little
boys loves going to nursery which makes it so much easier as a working parent knowing he's happy and looked after. I would thoroughly recommend!

Since my daughter started nursery in September she has came on leaps and bounds. I initially felt nervous and guilty leaving her for 4 days a week but the staff in baby room put me at ease straight away and my daughter settled in after only a few days there. I get updates daily on the app of the lovely
activities that she does throughout the day. I could not be happier about the care that she receives while at nursery.

Our son has only been at Sandhills Day Nursery for a few weeks, following on from a negative experience at a different setting, and he is like a different child. The staff take time to welcome him and put him at ease each time he is in. He used to hate going to nursery but now will happily talk about
it. Even on the times where he is reluctant to go in, the staff make him feel welcome and he quickly settles. The food options they give the children are excellent and offer a wide range! Our son is always talking about something exciting he has played with or done so we are so pleased.

So far our child has been attending nursery for almost 12 months and the progression in her all-round ability and self-confidence is plain to see. All members of staff are always helpful and happy and this is reflected in the children as they all always seem very happy.
It's a great feeling knowing
we can carry on with our day-to-day knowing our children our safe and happy. Can't ask for anymore really. Thank you all.

My child attends and gets a huge amount from nursery life! The app allows you to see updates about their day and allows you to message back to the team. The staff a very professional, kind and always ensure my child gets the right level of stimulation. My child leaves nursery feeling energised and loves
nothing more than telling me what they did that day, what they ate, and who they interacted with - I cannot ask for more from the nursery team.

Great nursery with amazing staff! The staff really do make the place; they are always so friendly and welcoming, and my children flourish there without a doubt! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other parents. It would be great if there were larger rooms and more outside space, but this is dependent
on the location ultimately.

All the staff are so lovely here and really helped my daughter settle in over the last six months. She's really coming on in play, and they played a massive part in the speed of her potty training. She's always excited to go in and play with her friends. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.819)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.819) out of 10 for Sandhills Day Nursery Heath Mill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.904 for Sandhills Day Nursery Heath Mill is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.904
  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 4.915 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sandhills Day Nursery Heath Mill is based on 13 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.915
  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.
