Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little Boy has been there since he was 11 months old and settled beautifully after moving into the area. The staff are great, caring and understanding. The manager goes above and beyond and the staff are always happy to help. My little boy has grown in confidence since being there and loves to go
to nursery! We also like to see the pictures and updates from the app daily. The staff take the children out into the local area too.

Our son has just started at Hipswell and the team there have gone above and beyond to make sure he settled in prior to starting properly.
He comes home exhausted from all the fun he has had and we love getting updates and photos of what he gets up to.
The team have really gotten to know him and
tried to make sure he gets food he enjoys.
Overall a fantastic start! Can't fault the staff at all.

Lovely nursery, staff have kept in line with my child's allergies. Whenever I come on pick up they have lovely interaction with them and are always quick to answer the phone. The app is updated daily that they supply with meal times and how much my child has eaten and with photos of my child learning.
There is a lovely garden out back where the children learn outdoor skills like garden climbing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery, my son started January and he has changed so much he has developed amazingly. The ladies in the nursery know each child and will spend time with them playing. It's about the experiences not the paperwork for the staff.
The manager is brilliant she has helped us settle in for my son
and nothing is too much trouble.
Reply from Kim Sutton, Manager at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Hipswell
Thank you, I have noticed a huge change in your son since starting at Ashbourne. He is more confident and happier to come to nursery. He has good relationships with all the staff and his peers.

Staff are amazing and understanding. They go above and beyond for the kids, as well as very transparent with parents. Glad to have my lad schooling in Ashbourne Day Nurseries. I was very impressed with how comfortable they made my lad settle in within some few days.

Thank you for your lovely review. Your child has settled in and is so happy at his time at nursery exploring the environment of our baby room.

Fantastic nursery, staff are so friendly and helpful. The nursery has such a lovely homely feel. Staff go above and beyond to help the children settle in and get to know the families. Both of my children have attended and I wouldn't want them to go anywhere else. The manager is always very helpful and
will go above and beyond to help you out if you ever need it. 5 stars just aren't enough for how amazing this nursery is.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and the team are great. From my first visit to the nursery, I was made to feel at ease and got the sense that my daughter would be well looked after. My daughter's key worker has a great bond with her. The children are always busy and happy. My daughter might come home a bit mucky, but that's
the sign of a good day! The children are encouraged to take part in everything and there's plenty to keep them interested from themed messy play to sensory toys. The handovers are very thorough and I always know what my daughter has eaten, how long she's slept for and how many nappies she's been through. I would recommend this setting to my friends and family.

My daughter has settled really well in the baby room. I am not confident with baby weaning and the nursery staff have been great with getting her to try new foods which has been a real help! Whenever I drop off or pick up, there is always a nice range of baby activities set up, so I know her days are
filled with exploring new things.

My little girl has been coming here for over a year now the staff are so lovely and welcoming. She never used to like it but she asks to go every day and asks about the staff too. She is not a very people person but she loves them all! They also help you and work around you to be happy with everything.

Welcome nurseries have really bought my little one out of their shell since lockdown from a child who wouldn't approach other children, to a leader of the pack. They've taught my child, singing, counting and the alphabet when I struggled to keep them focused at home. The staff are friendly and helpful
and management are always flexible with my work hours in case I need my child in for longer than normal. All in all a brilliant nursery to send your child to.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for just under a month now. Since her start date, she seems to be coming on leaps and bounds! She always goes in and comes out very happy! The staff are very lovely and welcoming! I would recommend welcome nurseries to anyone who is looking to start their

I was recommended this nursery by a few people. I'm glad we chose this one as my daughter absolutely loves it. They treat her as if she was one of their own. I love picking her up and hearing all about her busy day - the staff are amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.048)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.048) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Hipswell 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 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 4.869 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Hipswell is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.869
  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 4.179 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Hipswell 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.6 = 0.479
  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.
