Fantastic nursery - my child has attended since 10months old and initially settled in very quickly ... the staff are attentive and personable and communication is great on drop.off and pick up and via the app.
Transitioning into pre school my child settled very quickly which is a credit to the nursery
and they nursery thrives from lots.of outdoor play and creative play!
Fabulous setting would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started at the beginning of the year and has settled in so incredibly well. The whole nursery is so welcome and we feel comfortable with every member of staff who have all really made an effort. Even though my child is in the baby room the staff across the setting up to the preschool room have
got to know them. The food is quality and the setting is really well cared for. We have loved that our child gets the chance to spend moments with older children throughout the day outside and in other age range rooms. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a really welcoming and personal nursery!

My son has recently started at Swineford Nursery. He's settling in really well. The setting is beautiful and it's lovely that the children have the opportunity to play outside. The menus are always amazing with a good selection of food. The staff are very caring and supportive and are always working
hard to provide great care to the children. Overall a lovely nursery and one that I would recommend to others.

Review from Hannah C (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Describing Swineford Nursery is a bit like trying to capture a childhood daydream. It's somewhere between different adventures we loved as kids. It's a place where every child's unique personality isn't just accepted; it's celebrated.
I've sent all three of my children here, each with their own distinct
personalities, and the staff have made an incredible effort to nurture them. They create activities that spark joy and growth through every season.
My middle child, let's just say, has a "headstrong" spirit. While a previous setting struggled to keep up with his determined nature, the team here channelled it beautifully into learning. By the end of the year, he was writing the entire alphabet.
Calling this place magical almost doesn't do it justice. If you're looking for a nursery that feels like a blend of visiting your favourite aunt and the most enchanting classroom, Swineford is it.

Review from S K (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Swineford Nursery for 3 months after his previous nursery shut down.
Upon reviewing the nursery at a show around, I instantly knew he was going to come here. The management team are very caring and understanding and happy to answer any questions and the staff are warm and
friendly too.
The setting is exactly what I wanted for him. The garden is amazing with lots of toys, bikes, and shade. As well as visits from tractors and cows which he loves.
They even teach some sign language (Makaton).
His development has come along so well and he has built relationships with new people as well as playing with friends from the old nursery. He has settled well and that's been helped by the caring and understanding of all staff.
I have recommended the nursery to friends.

The staff are all great, very friendly and approachable.
The children spend a lot of time outside in the garden which is really important to us as a family. Our child has really developed quickly since starting nursery in January and always comes home full of beans with a smile on her face.

Review from R B (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Swineford Nursery for 5 months now after his previous nursery shut down. Since his first visit, the team have been so accommodating and attentive to his individual needs, it has been lovely to see.
The nursery has a wonderful garden, where my son loves running, climbing and
watching the frequent visits from the cows, pigs and Ostrich when they escape out of their field and run into the car park.
My son speaks highly of the staff and enjoys a wide range of activities. His development has come on leaps and bounds over the past few months and that is all down to a wonderful team!
My only downfall is that I didn't enrol him here sooner, I think he would have excelled even more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children are very happy at this nursery. They play outside as much as possible and have a really wide selection of outside toys which are rotated regularly. They do lots of learning through play and we get regular updates through the app. The staff know the children really well. I've found all the
staff to be really approachable, flexible and attentive to the children's needs. They are very responsive when we contact them about various things. The location is really convenient and there's easy parking for pick up and drop off. Staff welcome parents in at drop off which is great as we can see what the kids have been playing with and get a little insight into their life at nursery! We've had no issues and regularly recommend the nursery to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 2 boys (2&3) absolutely love going here. They love all the activities that are set up for imaginative play and the lovely garden.
The staff are brilliant and communication with parents is great! The boys have built some really strong relationships with staff and always ask when they next get to
see them!
Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

Our daughter started at Swineford Nursery and pre-school in March 2024 and instantly settled. The staff are fantastic, caring, nurturing, fun and very professional. There is a lovely big outdoor garden and they spend lots of time outdoors exploring. The staff genuinely care about the children and my
daughter has built a great relationship with the staff and children. She has settled much more easily than in her previous settings and loves attending. We are so happy with this nursery and the care provided.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Swineford Nursery and Preschool 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 4.972 for Swineford Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.972
  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 Swineford Nursery and Preschool 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, 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.
