Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children had a wonderful experience at Keswick House with an excellent balance of academic learning, garden play, sport, dance, music and forest school. They were given the opportunity to explore so many different concepts in so many different ways, making the system really tailored to each child.
My children loved their time there and especially their teachers, who really went above and beyond for them. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Going from expatriation to expatriation, I was looking for a school where my son could flourish and find a form of stability. I couldn't have found a better place than Keswick House. There he learned to speak English, while continuing to practise his native Spanish and French. They were able to respect
his rhythm, understand his difficulties while adapting to him and succeeding in offering him the framework he needed to develop his personality while learning to concentrate, respect a structure and rules, and forge a team spirit. The availability of the whole team, their kindness, the care, attention and genuine affection given to each child gave him the confidence to develop lots of new skills, passions and forge some great friendships. We appreciated the fluidity of communication. He loved the garden, the activities, his teachers, all of it. I don't think any other school could have done a better job in our case and our expectations were surpassed.
We highly recommend this school !

Keswick House is a wonderful little nursery that feels like family. The teachers are nurturing and lighthearted. The kids mature and grow to be aware of the world around them and build a wonderful character. Our son is ready for life ahead in so many different ways. Highly recommend!

Our daughter is now in her last term at Keswick and we could not be more pleased with her progress over the last 2 years. We were looking for a pre school that would encourage her to learn and be curious in a caring, nurturing environment and Keswick has delivered exactly that. Our daughter adores her
school and the teachers and has made wonderful friends. She enjoys a wide range of activities and the team make great use of the lovely garden as well as weekly trips to forest school. Its a great nursery and we will miss it when she leaves.

Keswick House is a truly happy and homely place for the little ones to learn and thrive. Our son settled almost immediately and always shows a happy face running in without any hesitation. The teachers are warm and loving - he adores his key teachers (and so do we!) are simply outstanding. The nursery
finds a great balance between child-led exploration / development and gentle introduction of structures into their lives. There's always something fun happening from dance / music classes, forest school to seasonal themed events - there's a happy and relaxed vibe in which the little ones were taught numeracy and literacy along the way. Our son's learnt so much at the nursery so far, most importantly growing into a well-rounded and confident child within a lovely community. We absolutely recommend the nursery to anyone who's considering.

Review from Lina S (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of our children have attended Keswick House and each one them have absolutely loved their experience at the nursery.
The level of care and attention is exceptional and they really do tailor their approach to each child's individual needs. The quality of teaching is second to none and forms
a solid foundation for starting primary school. The children are always more than Reception ready. The nursery is great at also providing a huge range of other activities for the children to get involved in, such as Forest School and other fun activities. The nursery focuses on creating well rounded and happy children.
It truly is a fantastic place for pre school children.

A warm and nurturing nursery where children are transformed into incredibly competent little people while learning through play. Fantastic teachers and a vibrant, safe environment. We have been very happy parents, and our little one has enjoyed being at nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My three children have all been through Keswick House and I couldn't recommend it more highly. My youngest is there now in the upper nursery. I would especially recommend it to parents looking for a more academic educational route as there is a lot of focus on phonics, numeracy and learning in general.
The
nursery provides the whole package. They learn so much. They have fun. They are brilliantly cared for. They make great friends. There is a big garden to play in. They go out to forest school on a local Common. They leave very well prepared for Reception. There is very little staff turnover.
I have direct experience of three other local nurseries as my children are all autumn-born and had to go to other nurseries for a year before being old enough to start at Keswick House. The others all had their strengths but Keswick is the only one that ticks all the boxes.

There is a reason Keswick House is rated "Outstanding", the level of care and communication is exceptional, the children are always so happy, and the teachers clearly care a lot about each child.
My son took a little bit of time to settle in but he is now thriving and his confidence has rocketed! He
adores his friends and teachers, he talks endlessly about his weekly forest school, he has so much fun getting down and dirty in the outdoor play area, and surprisingly he has developed a keen interest in learning phonics! There are Spanish speakers there too so he can also be exposed during activities which is a bonus. He has made some great friends and there is a strong feeling of community with the parent's group and regular birthday parties.
I will definitely be sending my daughter there too and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Review from A M (Father of Child) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly commend the entire team at Keswick for the care and early learning opportunities provided to the children at this nursery. Our eldest son started Lower Nursery in Sept 2021. He spent a very happy two years at KH, enjoying everything on offer and importantly gaining the social skills which made
the transition to Reception so easy. The staff were also on the frontfoot in identifying areas where he might need extra support and were fully committed to augmenting the work done by external providers. We received good insight about school choices when it came time for him to move on.
Our second son is now midway through his year in the Lower Nursery. He is also very happy there; highly stimulated and engaged.
The very experienced staff have created a wonderfully positive environment in which young children can explore, learn and make friends. As parents, we developed a strong relationship with our boys' carers because the channels of communication are always open.
Excellent!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Keswick 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.930 for Keswick House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.93
  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 Keswick House Nursery is based on 11 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
