My daughter has always been very happy at North Street Nursery. She has made many friends and is always telling me what she has learned that day. The staff have always been so kind, engaging and helpful.

Both my children have been very happy in North Street Nursery. My older daughter has developed a great relationship with her key worker. I think the staff really cares for the children and they always try to come up with all sorts of games and ideas.

North Street nursery has been great for our son. The staff are always friendly, the nursery itself is a bright and vibrant space with lots to do and the care and transparency of the nursery are brilliant. We are really happy to send our child there.

Our twins have been very happy since they started at North Street nursery. The staff are great and the kids have really bonded with their key workers. There are always loads of activities going on to keep them interested which has really helped with their development.

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended the nursery since it opened and loves going. The staff are all friendly and approachable and care about all the children. If our son is ever unsettled they know how to distract him and know what his interests are. They regularly used the roof terrace with the mud kitchen, bikes
and other equipment and also go to the local park. They go on day trips, having recently been to the zoo on the bus which the children enjoyed.
We are kept up to date regularly with our son’s progress and development and he is always singing songs or the alphabet that he’s learnt. They have a nice variety of meals which are sourced locally. Our youngest child will be starting there next year and I’m sure he will enjoy it as much as his brother!

Review from Amy E (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An excellent nursery with a particularly caring environment. My baby struggled to settle into the baby room initially which was a painful process for us as parents but staff went above and beyond to help settle him, with plenty of cuddles and lots of reading his favourite books. I felt they made a strong
effort to get to know him and his personal likes which was helpful and reassuring. The staff are so excited to tell me about how his day has been and the progress he is making. He now has an extremely close bond with his key worker and is so excited to arrive in the morning.
The standard of food is very high and the recent trip to the zoo was a great success.

North Street Nursery is a lovely community nursery. Our daughter absolutely loves it there and has really come out of her shell since she started attending. The staff are friendly, accessible and responsive and it’s obvious that they care deeply for our daughter.

Lovely caring staff who have a genuine interest in each individual child, their development and their needs.
Our son settled very quickly with plenty to keep him entertained and challenged all day.
We would have no hesitation in recommending North Street as a welcoming and nurturing environment.

Review from L B (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter is extremely happy at North Street Nursery. She has a special bond with her key worker and the other staff who every session make an effort to steer her towards activities she enjoys doing and then encouraging her to explore new things. The staff take a very active role in playing with her
and doing activities alongside her so she feels confident and also have taken time to know her family and update the app to let us know how she is getting on each day.
My daughter comes home reciting new songs, repeating stories and producing artwork she has made. With the nursery, she has been on exciting trips to different parks, library, farm, shop and has been on the bus. The nursery now has a lovely roof garden space with mud kitchen, bikes to go on and so forth. The nursery inside has a lot of resources accessible to the kids, is bright and very clean and has a lovely quiet area.

Review from Flo M (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
North Street Nursery is a lovely nursery, my boy settled in well immediately after they opened and has loved it ever since. The staff are warm, friendly, kind and patient. They make a huge effort to get to know all the children individually, including their interests, their strengths and where they
may need extra support/attention.
Their indoor space for toddlers is large and open, with space to run around and play, or snuggle in a quiet corner.
The preschool room is excellent and they learn loads of things including self-care, kitchen skills, crafting, etc.
They make good use of their outdoor space, the kids do gardening with planters, enjoy the mud kitchen, ride-on toys, balance and play with all the toys and equipment.
They also do trips out to give varied outdoor stimulation.
We're regularly updated on their app about meals, activities and photos, which helps us to feel involved in their day.

Our 18 month old has been at North Street since the day they opened and is extremely happy there. They're warm, welcoming and obviously really care about the children. Communication is great (using an app which updates you on everything like naps, nappies and food as it's happening) and it's a really
lovely environment. They've been keen to hear from parents since starting out and very responsive to feedback. Highly recommended!

This nursery is a friendly supportive childcare provider. It has an emphasis on bringing the community together. It focuses on individual children and staff know the children's strengths and interests. The lack of free flow outside space doesn't concern us as there is timetabled garden time and trips
to local parks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at North Street Nursery in December and clearly loves it. All of the staff take the time to get to know the children and parents and are welcoming and friendly.
It has a lovely atmosphere where you feel everyone - be it my son’s key worker, staff in his room or another room, or in-house
management - genuinely care and always have time for you.


There are a range of activities to engage the children with the environment around them such trips to the zoo, the local park, the Harbourside and to Windmill Hill City Farm. What’s also lovely are the regular updates with pictures and comments so I am able to see what my son has been doing and feel involved with his day.


My son is making great progress with his communication and his development is nurtured by a range of activities that incorporate both learning and fun.


It is a lovely nursery that I would happily recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.826) out of 10 for North Street Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.750 for North Street Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.75
  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 4.076 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for North Street Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.376
  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.
