Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children at Leafield House Nursery. My big boy (3 years old) was previously in two nurseries abroad. After the first day at Leafield, he told me, "I had a lot of fun". He still likes to go there. He likes the staff and the food (that is what he mostly talks about). I am really impressed by
the design of the rooms and the playground outside. It is clean and neat but there is everything the children can ask for.
My baby girl (1-year-old) went only to Leafield House and while the separation at the beginning was not easy, the team took care of her very well, so that shortly after she was exploring, starting to babble and enjoying herself.
I can‘t recommend Leafield House Nursery enough. I am so happy that I found this nursery for my little ones.

As a first-time mum leaving your baby at nursery is very daunting and scary. Leafield made the whole experience wonderful and exciting for me and my baby from initially showing us around, the settling-in days and starting nursery. All the staff are fantastic and so lovely. My baby loves them all and
I am settled knowing he is in great hands all day. The nursery is gorgeous and there are so many great facilities to help develop all the children. The food is also yummy, healthy and fresh every day. I would definitely recommend it to all parents.

As a parent, finding the perfect environment for your child's early education is a huge decision, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Leafield House Nursery. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was evident that this is not just a nursery but a nurturing haven for our little one's
growth.
Our son started on the 1st day when the nursery opened and he has loved every moment of it. He loves the space and we feel like he has already grown up so much. We were struggling with potty training and within only weeks of him being there he was fully trained.
The rooms are bright, really well equipped and so clean. The outdoor play areas are an extension of the delightful learning spaces for exploring which we loved! My son loves the garden and gets so excited when he sees it.
The staff are amazing, friendly and very attentive and cannot do enough for you!
The food is a 10 out of 10!
All round fabulous experience.

We couldn’t be happier with Leafield House. After relocating to the area, we were apprehensive about joining a new nursery, particularly a newly opened setting, however, our experience with Leafield has been excellent. The nursery manager and all staff members are professional and friendly. The activities
are well thought through and our son is engaged from the minute he walks through the door. They do a great job of keeping him busy! The nursery is beautiful inside and out. Overall a professional, premium set-up where the happiness of children is clearly the main focus.

We had to move our 18 month old son from his old nursery to Leafield House when his brother started school, so we had some trepidation in making the switch but the staff at Leafield House have been amazing in getting him settled in really quickly. He now enjoys going into nursery and always has no hesitation
in walking into the room, ready to start his day. He also eats well from a varied menu at nursery. There are always plenty of activities for the children to get involved in and it is very nice to see the crafts that the staff had made together with the children. Overall, we are very happy with the nursery and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality childcare.

I cannot express how happy and impressed I am with Leafield House, the facilities, staff and activities are second to none. My son was a member of a different nursery prior to Leafield, so I feel that I am in a position to appraise sufficiently. They offer genuine care and support with a level of professionalism
and warmth. We couldn’t be happier.

Leafield House Nursery feels like an extension of your family, the staff are always warm, friendly, welcoming and really caring towards our son.
The facilities are brilliant with well-thought-out rooms and toys and our son especially likes the outdoor space with the slides and regular forest hunts.
Leafield
House also hosts external baby and toddler groups which our son loves attending too. The variety of activities daily is really great and we have some lovely mementos that he has brought home.
The food that the children are offered is delicious and cooked by an on-site chef who has been really accommodating after our son was diagnosed with a dairy allergy and potentially soya. He never seems to miss out and eats a wide variety of food.
Our son has been attending the nursery since they opened and absolutely loves it blowing kisses to the staff and wanting cuddles as soon as he walks in, barely remembering to wave bye as he wanders off to play.

After transferring my son from a different local nursery I can honestly say I am over the moon with how well it has gone.
The staff are professional, fantastic with the children and always have time for any concerns. The setting is like no other nursery I have seen and exceeds expectations. It’s clean,
welcoming and everything you would expect from a well-run organisation.
Communication is on point and I feel my child is safe and secure in the setting.

We are so pleased we chose to go with Leafield House Nursery. Our little boy has settled in really well and loves the team there. We have seen a huge development in his vocabulary and social skills since joining. He loves to be outside so the garden is his favourite place with all of the activities
they do outside.
We always feel well informed on what has happened in the day. The parent app is a great tool. We love getting little updates with stories about his progression. The team are very welcoming and always reassuring. I would highly recommend Leafield to anyone looking for a nursery.

Our son joined in September 2023 and we could not be more pleased with Leafield House, the facilities are stunning and all the staff are so friendly and smiley, the menu always sounds delicious and only wish we could have meals sent home too! All together it makes leaving our little one for the day
so much easier knowing he will be loved and cared for. I would (and do) happily recommend it to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Leafield House Nursery 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.948 for Leafield House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (331 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.948
  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 Leafield House Nursery is based on 29 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 115 number of registered child places is 23, which has been reached with 29 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.

Leafield House Nursery was my dream and is now a reality!


I wanted to create a fun, warm, safe environment where our children can come and feel at home. With healthy fresh food, conscientious staff and a stimulating setting I believe we have created just that!


I believe the early years are so important for our children to learn, grow and flourish into happy and confident little humans ready for the next chapter of their precious lives.


Here at Leafield House Nursery, I’ve tried my very best to create the perfect place for this to all happen!


As a mum of 2 young children and with my business background I feel I really understand the balance that is needed to successfully run Leafield House.


I am so proud of the space we’ve created, with the wonderful indoors to the unbelievable outdoors…I feel we’ve covered every angle to make this an absolute dream for our children.


We are so excited for you to come and be part of our wonderful family here at Leafield House… let’s grow together?”
