Fantastic nursery. Great communication. Daily updates and our son is developing so much it's incredible. He walks in in the morning and doesn't look back which shows me he feels safe and enjoys it. We are thrilled with their service and every single member of staff goes above and beyond to help, daily!
They respect our choices with food habits and really help build on what we are currently working on at home with him. Can't thank them enough.

My son has been at Redbricks since he was 2, it's an absolutely amazing nursery. He has gained so much confidence and learned so much in the times he's been here. All the staff are amazing and can't do enough to accommodate. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for good safe child care. Thank you
so much Redbrick for everything you've done for my son.

This is not just a nursery, it's more than that, it's a continuity of a family. My daughter is part of this family for more than 12 months and we've seen so much improvement in behaviour, language, learning, socialisation and much more. The children are doing lots of activities, reading, games. The
staff are more than welcome and happy to help you, every day coming with updates. They are approaching every child as they demand. Best nursery I could think of for my daughters, as my other daughter will attend this nurturing place soon.

I’ve been using this nursery for around 5 years for my children, my son who started there at around 1 and a half-2 years old who left for school 3 years ago and now my daughter who has been going for over 2 years. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, they really accommodate your childcare needs
and really care about the children they look after and take such an interest in them. My children have both come on leaps and bounds since they both started this nursery as the staff are so interactive with them and make the effort to teach as well as play with the children. My daughter who is currently there absolutely adores all of the staff and has made lovely friendships there. My son also made lasting friendships there who he went on to primary school with. Thank you to all the Redbrick Team!

Me and my son absolutely love The Red Brick Day Nursery. The manager and all of the staff are amazing and make you feel so comfortable. My son loves going to nursery and he has come on leaps and bounds since being here. I can speak to the staff about any issues I’m having at home and they are so supportive.
My son is always doing fun activities and comes out of nursery smiling every day. I couldn’t have picked a better nursery and would 100% recommend The Red Brick Day Nursery to any parent.

My daughter has attended Red Brick Day Nursery for the past two years or so and I am more than happy with all aspects here. Staff have gone over and above to accommodate any requirements for us and her progress and development have come on so much since she has been here. Not only would her key workers
give a breakdown of what she's eaten and been doing/learning each day, but it was clear through their care and attention that they came to know her character and personality well which not only made her feel welcome and settled it has also given us as parents peace of mind that our child is in good and safe hands in our absence. I would highly recommend Red Brick Day Nursery for parents looking for childcare.

Friendly atmosphere very engaging for children. Always make good use of their premises with fun interactive activities for the children. The staff are always enthusiastic about the children and their development. It's a nurturing environment as it should be and they do not hold back on play time either.
Food is always something different and they take care to avoid certain foods that my child cannot consume. The entire team is fantastic taking time to listen, talk and understand. Like a home away from home.

Both of my children have attended Redbrick and it's been amazing. The staff are amazing at communicating with you about your child and their day, they are so friendly and welcoming and you can see each of them have a care and passion for what they do. The manager has been so supportive and always tried
to accommodate me with childcare when I needed it. I always recommend them to friends who have actually put their children into the nursery and they always say it was the best decision they made. Thank you all

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is absolutely outstanding! My son came from quite a ‘chaotic’ nursery before we found this one and I believe he had learnt some bad habits from there. I was worried about moving him as he hates change but he settled so fast and fell in love with the nursery just as quickly as we did. The
staff are absolutely wonderful all so friendly and professional - you can tell they genuinely adore the children and want them to learn and develop just as much as you do.


They have helped him so much with his sharing and he comes out saying words I’ve never heard him say before. He runs in without looking back and always eats such delicious healthy food there too. It’s a very relaxed, calm, professional environment.


I am so grateful we found this nursery and I know he is too. I could go on forever about how much we love it.


Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A great team that really care and have a healthy bond with the kids. There's always a friendly welcome in the morning and a chat in the evening to provide a progress report and help with ideas we could use at home. It also provides a great ratio of kids per adult, which ensures our son gets the attention
he seeks.


Our son soon climatised to the nursery and despite being a bit of a clinger to us, he grew confidence around the team which in turn has given us confidence to not worry about him. The team have helped our son from 1 year onwards and have been a great support in his development. As well as a great insight of knowledge to help us as naive parents.


In the near future, we hope to be sending child number two there.

Our son has been at the nursery since he was 7 months. Soon he’s going to school and honestly, the girls have been absolutely amazing! The care, the love and flexibility they have provided not only to our boy but our family has been an absolute lifesaver. Regardless of what I say or write won’t even

When, together with my husband, we decided to find a nursery for our son there was good research ongoing. From the day our son opened The Red Brick Day Nursery's door, his life changed. In the first place, he met such a lovely, dedicated, friendly and supportive team. From day to day, he developed wonderfully,
all his needs were being met. From the bottom of my heart, I can strongly recommend The Red Brick Nursery as a place where your child will be well looked after with passion and care by the wonderful team who works there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at the nursery for two years, all the staff are welcoming and show much compassion for him and us as parents. Our son can’t stop talking about all the fun activities he does from drawing, painting and sports on a Thursday to reading books.
The staff who look after him treat him like
he is their own and it makes us as parents very happy knowing they will show him this when he is there.
When our son first joined the nursery the staff used a book to write in and cover every detail you would want to know informing us of how his day went.
The staff update us via the app, email, telephone or in person if anything comes up. We get regular updates on how our son is getting on.
Overall the nursery provides an amazing setting for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to learn and develop and we are so glad we chose the nursery.
We can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

My son has attended The Red Brick Day Nursery for about a year and a half now. the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure he is settled in. He is always a bit teary going in of a morning but is met with nothing but smiles and hugs to encourage him to settle. He is always happy on pick-up and
has a great day completing a wide range of activities. I would recommend this lovely setting to anyone.

The Red Brick Day Nursery has been absolutely fantastic since my son started there a couple of years ago and every time I visit I am impressed with the staff, their passion for what they do and the information they give you when you collect your child. My son loves it there and I have seen his development

My toddler absolutely loves her time at The Red Brick Day Nursery, it really is a home-from-home. All of the staff are so personable and it is so lovely to see how happy my little girl is to see them when she arrives at nursery.
I never used a nursery with my older two children so this was a big step
for me, however, I couldn't have asked for a better environment for my little girl to learn and grow in.

My daughter has been going here for the last year and we have had such a wonderful experience. She absolutely loves the staff and the nursery activities that they provide, especially PE.
We honestly couldn't be happier with the nursery experience we have had. It's very daunting finding a place you
can trust with your children but The Red Brick Day Nursery really does help you through the whole process and I would honestly use them again. I will be very sad when our time comes to say goodbye to the team due to the wonderful relationships we have built.

I am massively supportive of the ethos and vision of The Red Brick Day Nursery. They have supported my son with special needs when the institutions/facilities would not. They have catered for all my children's needs of various ages, from primary to secondary school. The practitioners are empathetic,

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.
