The team in the baby room have gone above and beyond to build up trust with my little one who was not a fan of leaving her mum. She now holds her arms out to staff for a cuddle, after initially doing nothing but cry. A massive change in a short period of time. Her confidence has really grown.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first-time mum looking for a nursery for my two-year-old daughter, I felt so anxious. After visiting a few nurseries, Redbrick Day Nursery instantly stood out and just felt right. From my very first contact with Mandy, then meeting Danielle and the rest of the team, I couldn't have been happier
with the warmth and professionalism I experienced.
I love receiving regular updates through the app, I'm always greeted with a smile, and most importantly, my daughter comes home happy and settled. That peace of mind is priceless.
A huge thank you to everyone at Redbrick Day Nursery for the amazing care you give - you really do make it such a special place for the children.

My daughter started at Redbrick in July and from the first day and every day since, I couldn't be happier with the staff, environment and how she is treated. She is so happy everyday I pick her up and I have seen her come on leaps and bounds in her development in that short time too. I feel like she
is in safe hands, which to me is my biggest priority when she is at nursery. I couldn't be happier with Redbrick and the ladies in the baby room, best decision I made sending my little girl there.

As my eldest daughter's time at The Redbrick Day Nursery comes to an end, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible staff. Over the past two years, they have been consistently kind, caring, and supportive, going above and beyond to make both my daughter and our family feel welcomed and understood.
Their dedication has not only helped her thrive academically but has also built her confidence and nurtured her love of learning. I truly could not recommend The Redbrick Day Nursery highly enough. I'm excited to continue our journey with them for the next three years as my youngest now attends too.

I had my 2 children go to The Red Brick and I couldn't be happier with my choice.
The Nursery is very accommodating and treats my kids as one of their own. As a working parent, I couldn't have chosen a better place and people to leave my kids, they are very flexible and accommodating and really do
try their best to attend to our needs.
If I were to have more children, they would definitely go to The Red Brick.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience with redbrick has been fantastic, my children have attended the nursery since the age of 18 months until 4 and in this time I've had no issues whatsoever, the care the girls provide to the children is like a home from home, and treat them as if the children are their own. The facilities
are 10/10, the food variety is brilliant, in addition the motor skills encouraged, manners, teaching kindness, self development skills have been fantastic. The support with potty training helped me so much and I'll forever be so grateful to all the staff. My children come home repeatedly telling me the workers there are their best friends and on occasion have cried when it's time to go home lol! I have total confidence leaving my children there and red brick will forever be a huge part of my children's early life, I'd recommend them 100% your babies are in such safe hands x

The care provided by the staff at Red Brick Day Nursery is truly exceptional. Every staff member knows each child by name and consistently shows genuine warmth and care. They always seem genuinely happy to welcome my little one when I drop him off, which reassures me deeply.


I can't imagine any other

nursery making me feel as confident and at ease, knowing my child is in such safe, nurturing hands. The staff never make me feel like my child is a burden or difficult to manage. Instead, they maintain a relaxed, warm, and caring environment that really makes the nursery stand out.


The staff truly are what make Red Brick Day Nursery so special!

My child has recently started at Red Brick Day Nursery and I am really pleased with how it is going. From the offset, staff have been really welcoming and helpful when signing up and sorting paperwork. My daughter has settled in very quickly and I like the interaction between staff and parents at pick-up
time. Having gone to another nursery previously, I am given more information about her day at pick-up than I ever have. I could not fault our experience so far.

A nursery that truly cares. When we first joined, I had some initial concerns about the care my 2-year-old daughter was receiving. However, I was positively surprised by how supportive and understanding the management team was. They took my feedback seriously, handled the situation with care, and ensured
everything was resolved promptly and professionally. Since then, our experience has been fantastic. My daughter now loves attending the nursery and has truly thrived. The staff are nurturing, attentive, and committed to creating a positive environment where children can grow and enjoy themselves. It's been heartwarming to see her confidence blossom as she makes friends and participates in the wonderful activities they offer. The nursery's communication and dedication have given me complete peace of mind. I'm so grateful for their attentiveness and care and would highly recommend Red Brick Day Nursery to any parent seeking a supportive, high-quality childcare setting.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for The Red Brick Day Nursery - Welford Road 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.910 for The Red Brick Day Nursery - Welford Road is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.91
  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 The Red Brick Day Nursery - Welford Road is based on 27 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 27 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.
