The nursery has excellent indoor spaces which are age-appropriately designed, giving children the best opportunities to grow and develop.

The children start in the Early Learner Room and move into the Reception room around the age of three.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Can’t recommend this nursery enough. My son has learnt a lot over the past year of being here and always looks forward to his nursery days. The staff here are incredible and the care they provide for the children is amazing! I can leave there without having to worry knowing my son is in great hands.
Wouldn’t send him to any other nursery, highly recommend!

Fantastic nursery, I love how happy my child is in the setting, the communication and updates I receive from them regarding my little one is also fab, such a great and friendly team. I'm just waiting on my second child turning two so she can be moved here. It's a great feeling dropping him off knowing
he's happy and cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my son started at this nursery he has learned so much, his speech has improved, he knows all his colours, he’s learning all shapes and retaining the information, he knows numbers up to 20, he’s learned to share and have compassion for another child, over all he has so much confidence in what he
is doing and he loves all the teachers they have been so amazing with him, when he first started he cried every time he went in and it was so heartbreaking leaving him but by the time I picked him up he had the best day and settled in nicely and he would cry every time for two months but his teachers would calm him down and he would be great and they communicated with me on how he was doing so that I wasn’t worried. The manager and the team are amazing and the chef cooks some amazing meals and hides veggies in them so well that the children don’t have a clue, I highly recommend this nursery it’s facility’s are great and it has a lovely garden with loads to do.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Blackbrook Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.969 for Blackbrook Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.969
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blackbrook Nursery School is based on 19 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2007

I have worked for Evolution Childcare since 2007, firstly working at the Stables mostly working between two rooms, Reception and Early Learners and I progressed to the Reception Room Manager.


I received my B-Tech National Diploma in Early Years in 2006 at college and started at the Stables a year later. I have received extensive in-house training and have gained certificates in training courses that have supported me to progress in my personal development.

In addition, whilst at the Stables, I had been the Stables Events and Equal Opportunities officer. This means I took control of organising events each month for the children, parents and staff, documenting these events and ensuring the children are aware of differences and cultures.


In 2017 I was promoted to 3rd In Charge which developed my knowledge of the operations of the nursery and gave me an opportunity to work alongside the Stables manager during training exercises. In 2019 I was promoted to assistant Manager at the stables.


In January 2020 I moved over to Blackbrook as the assistant manager and continued to work with my manager and the manager at Kalgarth gaining valuable training and knowledge. In September 2020 I was promoted to Nursery Manager at Blackbrook.


I have really been enjoying my time at Blackbrook, it has been great to work with a variety of different people from various backgrounds. I have supported families and children through lots of different experiences. I really do love my job as the Nursery Manager at Blackbrook, working alongside an amazing team of practitioners and all our families and children.
