This is a 1st class creche, and a brilliant environment for children to learn and grow. All the staff are great , a number of staff have worked in this creche for a long period and their genuine
devotion to the children in their care is clear to see.
The staff do clearly put a lot of thought into keeping creche stimulating for children and there are a number of special events organised for children throughout the year eg a bouncy castle over the summer, visits from a petting farm, Hawaii day, the odd trip to the zoom etc for older children.
My son made so many friends during his time in creche and had so many happy experiences.
If we were lucky enough to ever have a second child we wouldn't hesitate to send them to Ashvale x

My son has just finished at Ashvale. Started in the tots room moving to preschool so a few years of fun!
Really enjoyed it, never looked back going in and the staff during his time were brilliant and I can't say enough positive words about them and the experience they provided.
Lots of activities
through the year like bouncy castles, themes for the kids to get involved in and guest visitors - whether it's animals and insects or the fire and police! Christmas was great fun too!
Very helpful and great communication with parents. Varied meals. Pick ups and drop offs from nursery unit was both helpful and perfectly delivered . Total professionals!
He will miss Ashvale and the staff. We have recommended it to other parents and would continue to do so!
The Ashvale experience was everything our son and as parents we could have hoped for.
Thanks a million!

I'm so glad we found Ashvale! Our son has been there for three and a half years and it's been great. He has loved going in every day and we have loved knowing that he is somewhere safe and where he's cared for. He has learned so much and had the opportunity to do lots of fun activities. The staff are
great - always approachable and lovely!

Ashvale Private Day Nursery is more than just a nursery - it's a second home for our children! We've been fortunate enough to have not one, but two of our little ones attend, and the love, care, and dedication they receive is truly exceptional. The staff are absolute angels, showering our children with
warmth, kindness, and personalised attention that makes them feel seen, heard, and loved. We're forever grateful for the nursery family they've become a part of. If you're looking for a place that will wrap your child in love and care, look no further than Ashvale. We couldn't recommend it more highly!

My daughter has been at Ashvale since she was 9 months old and I couldn't imagine a more nurturing and supportive environment. The staff are not only well trained but also friendly, empathetic and approachable. They have nurtured our daughter through all her milestones with patience and care. I am sad
that our time has come to an end!

We are very happy to have had our son as part of the Ashvale family. This is our second time choosing this nursery, and no regrets. Our son loved the staff, activities and everything else the nursery offered, and we were sad to leave after three years. My husband and I felt very comfortable talking
to the members of the team and being kept up to date with any new achievements. We loved the app to keep up to date with our son's antics and would like to thank each and every member of the team for taking such good care of him. Thank you.

I have had the pleasure to send both of my children to Ashvale Day Nursery over the last 7 years, both started from around 6 months old.

The care and support my children received throughout their time here was second to none.
I could not possibly single out any staff member or management, as they
all have been incredible throughout the years. Although my two definitely had their favourites, which they still talk about!
They provide children with special days such as beach days, pamper days, bouncy castles, fancy dresses, and many more. They also have included visits from the police and firefighters etc.
I have and would recommend Ashvale to anyone looking for a day nursery.
A huge thank you to everyone at Ashvale!

I loved this nursery - for lots of reasons but mostly because my son seemed very happy there. The staff was great, always going the extra mile, especially in summer time arranging days out and activities.
The management could not have been more helpful they were just wonderful we will miss them.

A wonderful place for the little ones! Thank you to Ashvale Nursery and its caring and amazing staff for taking care of my daughter for the last 3 years! She had been in great company, enjoyed thoroughly, played and learnt while being cared and loved! She had enjoyed the setup, her friends and particularly
a staff member who had seen her from tots room onwards. Thank you!

Honestly can't thank this nursery enough for our journey with our daughter! They had her from 9 months when I started back to work and they made me feel so relaxed and at peace and respected all of my wishes while being absolutely amazing with her! From the staff in the baby room one member in particular
etc. to the staff in the tots room three members of staff in particular and many more I can't thank you all enough! She had the best experience in Ashvale! The staff were kind, caring, friendly and just couldn't do enough for us all! The food was always top standard and the service from the manager and another member of staff in particular etc was amazing too. Thanks so much everyone at Ashvale! We appreciate you so much.

Ashvale Private Day Nursery is just the most wonderful place. My child has come out of her shell so much and blossomed in the environment created by the fantastic staff. Two staff members are particularly fantastic. I highly recommend this place to all parents in search of daycare, especially if your
child has any special needs like mine does.

Current
Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)
Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Ashvale Private Day Nursery - Newtownbreda Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
- The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
- The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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:
- 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.882 for Ashvale Private Day Nursery - Newtownbreda Road is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.882
-
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 Ashvale Private Day Nursery - Newtownbreda Road is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- 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
- 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
- If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
