Marlborough House School Nursery is such a special place. The setting is magical and the staff take care of the children with patience and compassion. One of the reasons we chose this nursery was for the amazing outdoor opportunities. The children spend so much time outside exploring nature, either
at forest school or in their garden. The staff support their children with their phonics and numbers and my child is growing in confidence for starting school. I truly believe Marlborough House School is giving my son the best start in life. I couldn’t recommend it more.

We cannot fault Marlborough House nursery. We drop our son there every day knowing he is in the very best hands with brilliant teachers. It is a very happy, caring and loving environment. The children are exposed to a huge variety of indoor and outdoor activities and our son loves the interactions that
he has with the older children in the school.

Marlborough House School Nursery is an amazing nursery! My son started in September 2022 and he absolutely loves it, so much so that he asked me if he could go an extra day this term. The staff are incredible, kind and caring, and the activities that the children get to do are so innovative, varied
and no day is the same! I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend this nursery and my daughter is extremely excited to start this coming September!

Fantastic nursery, that lets the children be children in a wonderful environment, the classroom is full of toys and educational bits. The garden is lovely with animals and space for the children to be imaginative as children should be. Teachers are all caring and wonderful!

Marlborough House School Nursery is the most wonderful environment a parent could wish for. The children are encouraged to be: independent yet part of the family, strong yet compassionate, free yet focused and task-driven yet imaginative. Every child is nurtured, encouraged and loved. Every child can
be whoever they want to be without fear of criticism or failure. The indoor and outdoor space is solely child-focused, the rotation of activities and role-play areas ensures that there is something for every child to engage with. Plus, of course, the addition of their beloved animal friends. Lunch in the main dining hall, PE, music, Spanish, ballet, forest school, cooking need I go on? As parents you feel completely involved in your child’s learning journey, no question is too silly. The staff never fail to greet you with a smile - come rain, shine or toddler germs! Marlborough House School Nursery is the sort of foundation every parent dreams of their child having and we are so lucky to be a part of it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing. We had a list of nurseries to visit before deciding. But just one visit to Marlborough House School Nursery was all we needed, we knew instantly this was where our son should be (and looked nowhere else). The nursery teachers and staff are kind, caring and brilliant in every way and most importantly
he loves them, his first time nursery wobbles did not last long and my wobbles were put at ease with constant updates the first few weeks straight from the teachers. Admin has been a breeze, with easy and instant communication. No matter how insignificant. Great daily photo updates on Instagram. The facilities are incredible with Forest School and P.E being a highlight. And lastly ‘cake’, there always seems to be cake = very happy boy!

A magical place where my little girl was cared for and loved as if she were in a family. She will keep wonderful memories and has learned to be independent and self-confident. The Forest school experience was extraordinary, as was the contact with nature and seeing the birth of small animals. She was
always happy to go and smiling at pickup time.

I’m so pleased to be able to write a review about Marlborough House School Nursery and give them the praise they daily earn. The staff actively go out of their way to nurture, engage and encourage each child every day, they have such a deep knowledge of each little person under their care it’s a wonder
to behold. I have seen both my boys blossom under their care and have witnessed how they are encouraged to value and use their own voice from day one. Their days are so full of fun it’s easy to miss how crammed with learning they are! We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery or school.

Over the moon with Marlborough House School Nursery, the entire community and all the hard work and care that goes into looking after our daughter. Our little girl loves attending and always leaves full of energy and with a big smile on her face, we have really noticed how our daughter has advanced
since attending. We always knew Marlborough House School would be a super place to send our children and Marlborough House School have exceeded expectations. There is a great variety of tasks, and as parents, we are always updated with everything from what is being taught to what is being served at lunch. I love how seasonal events are incorporated into teaching: you can really see how sessions are used to teach the children basics whilst staying fun. The outside space is fantastic and has lots of space and equipment for children to play and share. The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing and if we have ever needed to talk to them then we have always been able to. We are so happy and more importantly, so is our daughter.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both our children started their schooling at Marlborough House Nursery, and we could not have made a better decision. In fact, our decision to leave London and move to the Hawkhurst area was significantly influenced following our visit and tour of Marlborough House School, when our eldest daughter was
at nursey age. The team could not be more wonderful, caring and enthusiastic about what they do. Not once have our kids ever said that they did not want to go to school, on the contrary, they look forward to each and every day.
The genuine care and attention to our children's wellbeing and development has always been exemplary. The team have stuck the perfect balance between academia and all round development that focuses on nurturing curiosity and kindness - perfect! Marlborough House School and Nursery has our highest recommendation.

Marlborough House School Nursery is the best! All staff (from Nursery and school) are very kind, the infrastructure is amazing and they have well-defined activities throughout the days/weeks, besides the fact that they can (and they always do) use the school premises. My son took only three weeks to
settle in. Although our son is very happy there, we think there is a lack of a day-to-day update.

With older children at Marlborough House School enrolling our youngest to the nursery was the obvious choice. As a school we have felt the whole community and ethos is welcoming and inclusive and the nursery even more so. The staff go above and beyond to put children and parents at ease. The exciting
curriculum caters for all interests with things like forest school, Spanish, yoga, nature walks and PE to name a few. With plenty of time for play both inside and out, and of course petting the animals! Our child is happy, settled and thriving.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Marlborough House School Nursery 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.993 for Marlborough House School Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.993
  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 Marlborough House School Nursery 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:

    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
