Review from Beth L (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl started at 9 months old in June 2025 and absolutely loves going to nursery! She had a short while of being unsure but the staff in the baby room went above and beyond to help her settle. The communication is excellent, we receive updates throughout the day and photos at the end of every
day so we know what Nancy has eaten, how long she has slept and all the fun activities she has taken part in. There are lots of themes and events to keep her stimulated and learning, the meals are varied and balanced and she always gets involved in everything! The baby team are a huge credit to the nursery

The team are great. My son has been in this nursery since he was 9 months old and we love every single member of staff. Our son will be sad once he moves on from here! Definitely recommend - they keep you up to date at all times and really go the extra mile.

Both my children have attended this nursery & love it. As children who are both very attached to me and reluctant to go to others including family members they have never had issues coming into this nursery setting which shows how great the staff have been/still are with them.
Staff are very approachable
and helpful & it has a lovely family feel to it.

My children have both attended this nursery starting 2020. We live at the other side of town but it is definitely worth the journey coming as the staff are one in a million.
They are kind, understanding and go above and beyond for not only the children but parents aswell. If you have concerns, they're
addressed straight away and always offer any help they can. It's like a big family and has always been like that.

I registered my son in February 2025 and am very happy with the team who look after him. He greets the staff with open arms at drop off and comes out smiling at pick up. The communication is very good so I know exactly what he has been up to all day. Plenty of pictures of them at play and great set
ups to keep the children entertained all day to expand their imagination. Highly recommend Nurtured@Alverthorpe!

My son loves coming to nursery and is always so happy when I drop him off. I am always happy because I know how well he is looked after. He has improved so much during his time at nursery and just keeps getting better. The staff is very friendly and supportive, all questions are always answered. I am
really happy with how my son is doing, massive difference from when he started which is great. Highly recommend

My boy has been going to this nursery for 2 years and has always been so happy here. He is always learning and his development has come on so well. The staff and key workers communication really well with needs in nursery and at home. A particular lady in toddlers has especially been amazing in our
time at nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves coming to nursery. First week for her and she's settled too quick and she cant wait to go to nursery. I'm happy that she enjoying herself, and playing with children and getting them involved in activities. The staff there is so nice and friendly and I love how they send messages to
you if they want to say something and love how they send pictures of the children playing and seeing my daughter enjoying herself makes me happy and comfortable for her to stay there longer. Also, they have a different selection of foods for every day which is good for children to try experience foods they have never tried. My daughter is a fussy eater and she's trying some stuff which she wouldn't eat at home so that's good for children. Overall happy with the experience there and I would recommend to every parent to take their children there.

Review from J P (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one was just not ready to start nursery at 9 months so the manager kindly allowed me to push the start date back to 12 months. We initially had 2 settling in sessions which wasn't enough so we continued with another 3 short settling in sessions to allow my baby to become familiar with the
surroundings and her key worker. Gradually, she realised I would always come back and that actually, nursery is super fun. She now puts her hands out for nursery staff to take her from me which I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I get updates, pictures regularly through the app which I enjoy. There are lots of sensory activities for the babies to enjoy and the staff have been very supportive and comforting towards myself and my baby.
I also sent my other child here for 3 years and he is now at school. He thoroughly enjoyed his time there always and wants to come back.
Thank you so much. I would recommend to anyone.

Great, friendly staff. My little girl has a lot of fun when she attends. The app is fabulous, it keeps you updated throughout the day regarding your child and what they have been up to.
Management are available to message for any problems and respond quickly.
My little girl has made some good connections
and the staff are always asking for anything we would like to be taught/what their children are interested in, to develop their learning.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is 11 months and has been attending nursery since January 2025. I was a little anxious at first about my daughter attending nursery at such a young age but the staff at Nurtured instantly put me at ease with a warm welcome. From the initial settling in sessions, the staff in the baby room
have been so helpful and informative of my child's progress and development. I love receiving the regular updates and can see what my child is up to whilst I'm at work by simply logging into the app. We were allocated a key worker and any concerns or questions are always answered quickly either in person or via the messaging system on the app.

My daughter attends preschool class and has been going since baby room. She absolutely adores it here.
I can see a massive improvement in her behaviour.
She's constantly coming home telling/showing me something new she's learnt.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Alverthorpe 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.951 for Nurtured @ Alverthorpe is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.951
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nurtured @ Alverthorpe is based on 17 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
