Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I love the atmosphere of the nursery school as the people are very friendly and welcoming. I can see a lot of progress in my child after joining the school. My child started potty training late, but the nursery teachers encouraged the idea and helped me also follow some tips on potty training at home,
and it really helped. Overall, I feel more satisfied with the whole experience.

My son has been coming for nearly a year and we have seen a lot of progress from him. His speech has improved, he has made friendships and the staff have helped us with our toilet training journey. The staff are AMAZING and my son has a lovely bond with them all. Brilliant nursey would 10/10 recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 10-month-old has been at Ashbourne Day Nurseries for nearly 2 months now and has settled in so well. All the staff are friendly and my daughter is happy with all staff and never moans when I drop her off. I feel this is because she is cared for and content in their company. Sometimes when I pick
her up I manage to sneak a look before she sees me and she is always playing just like she does at home which is so comforting knowing she feels safe and happy in her environment.

My son has thrived since being at Ashbourne. The staff are truly amazing especially three members of staff in particular who were extra attentive to my son's wants and needs as he goes through life learning to live with autism, I really can't thank these ladies enough for all of their hard work and
dedication! We will most definitely miss you all!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I think Ashbourne Nursery provides excellent care for babies and toddlers. Wish they could be slightly more flexible when it comes to swapping days if given long notice in case of emergency as a one-off occasion but apart from that I'm very satisfied with the nursery. Proud to see how much my son is
learning while there and how far he developed the skills.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We got admission in September, my daughter is 2 years old and is shy and it took a couple of weeks to settle into a new environment with new people. I was very stressed initially but the staff made a great effort to make her comfortable in a new place which worked. And now after a few months, she is
very happy and made many friends. I would really recommend this nursery as found it very effective in all things that were of my concern.

Review from Shannon A (Mother of Child) published on 15 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing staff, they are so friendly, kind and understanding. My 2-year-old son has learnt so much since being at this nursery. They supported with his speech which has made a massive improvement since joining last year. Prior to my son being at Ashbourne Day Nursery he was at another nursery and my
experience with them was a bad experience and I lost trust in leaving my son to go back to work, but Ashbourne staff have shown me not all nurseries are bad, they understand your child as an individual and what support they require.


I would definitely recommend

The staff offer a friendly, caring approach to looking after my children.
My children are aged 7 and 4 now and have been attending from the age of 9 months.
My children never want to leave when I collect them, which tells me they are in a good place; they are currently with the after-school club as
the nursery offers a collection service from selected schools, which is a great addition when you have children of different ages and played a big part in our decision making.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.904) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Leicester Central 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 8 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 4.875 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Leicester Central is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.875
  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 4.029 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Leicester Central is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 175 number of registered child places is 35. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 35 = 0.229
  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.
