Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm so pleased with the care and support Nathaniel and Malachi have received at Ashbourne Day Nurseries. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each child's growth and happiness. Since joining, both boys have shown incredible progress - they've become more confident, independent, and
excited about learning new things.


Ashbourne provides such a warm and nurturing environment where every child feels welcomed and valued. I really appreciate how the team keeps me updated on their progress and daily activities, always showing genuine care and attention to their development.


It's been wonderful watching Nathaniel and Malachi grow in confidence and skills. I'm truly grateful to the amazing staff for their hard work, support, and love. Ashbourne Day Nurseries has been a fantastic place for them to learn, grow, and thrive!

Review from Dan T (Father of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were initially apprehensive about our Daughter attending nursery due to her young age at the time (and being the youngest child in the room), and after viewing a number of other nurseries that didn't feel like the right choice, Ashbourne in Orton Southgate was recommended to us by a friend.


We

attended an open day and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was clean and had just been expanded as well. We immediately felt like this was the nursery we wanted to send our daughter to - simply on first impressions.


If ever we have had a query, the staff have always been quick and willing to answer/help. And even at 11 months old, we can tell our Daughter is at ease when in their care. She certainly gets spoilt with cuddles and tasty food as well!


I would certainly recommend Ashbourne Orton to anybody currently looking for a nursery placement for their child.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for 8 weeks now and she loves it, she is our only child and it was daunting thinking about sending her to any nursery. We visited many nurseries and we found Ashbourne to be brilliant from the first interaction, to the settling in sessions and my daughters
first day there. The team are so friendly, knowledgable and caring. They have been as supportive to myself and my wife as much as our daughter. I can't thank all the team from those in the settings to those in the main office, there is genuine warmth, patience and a love of children here. Our daughter loves all the resources, outside play and other children, we have seen a real growth in her (including learning to walk from being around the other children who were walking). Honestly can't recommend the team and Ashbourne enough, we will even be putting our daughter in for extra days.

I can't thank the team at my child's nursery enough. From day one you've treated him with genuine warmth, patience, and enthusiasm, making each drop-off feel safe instead of stressful. Your flexibility-allowing us to arrive a little early, stay a little longer, and ease into the new routine-has been
a lifesaver for both of us. Every member of staff greets Isidor by name, celebrates his tiny milestones, and keeps me updated with thoughtful notes and photos. Knowing he's in such caring, capable hands means the world when you're leaving your child for the very first time. Thank you for turning a daunting transition into a joyful adventure.

My little boy starting nursery has definitely been one of the biggest challenges for us both so far, but the amazing team at Ashbourne couldn't have made it easier for us both. Super supportive for me as a new Mum and incredibly attentive and welcoming for my boy. He found the adjustment of nursery
hard at first but in just a few sessions he was happy and thriving! Collecting him at the end of the day with a big smile on his face says it all. Thank you to the Ashbourne family for making my boy so happy!

My little boy has been going to this nursery for just under a year and he has just thrived!
He's currently being supported for an EHCP and the manager and the team have been nothing but amazing with helping him manage his struggles and turning these into huge positives for him.
They listen to my
worries and are so reassuring and supportive to myself also. They focus on consistency which is so important to my little boy and he's going from strength to strength. Brilliant team of staff and I cannot wait for my 2nd child to join the baby room next year!

Was my little ones first week last week, all the staff are wonderful & so warming. Not only did they made my child feel welcome but was also very supportive to us parents! It was very hard to leave my little one, especially as he was upset on his first offical day, his key worker, knew exactly what
to do, she took him & cuddled him and told me he will be fine, she knew I would just stand there not knowing what to do and not want to let go, so I needed that guidance. Settling in days were so helpful too. Thank you ladies X

My 2 children have been attending Ashbourne since last September! They have come on leaps and bounds since being there. Especially my son who has delayed speech, he is talking so much more now and I truly believe that the nursery and all the staff have helped with this! All the staff members are so
friendly and bubbly; you always arrive to see happy faces in the morning. My son and daughter come home happy every day they attend (sometimes not wanting to leave) and it's great to see as a parent :) The nursery is always clean and the kids get up to plenty of activities throughout the day. Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone!!

Everyone is so friendly and caring, they really connect with the children and get to know them individually. They're a child lead nursery and all of their rooms are open so that your child is not confined to one room, and can integrate with older children. They cook all of their own meals so that every
child has a variety of healthy foods. My little girl settled very quickly and you can tell she trusts all of the ladies at the nursery. She really loves being there and she makes everyone so happy; it makes my husband and I happy and reassured that she's comfortable and cared for.

My child has been at the nursery since September and I cannot fault the staff enough for all their support with helping my child settle in and make the transition so easy, especially how nervous he was at the start.
It's lovely to see all the photos and updates on the app we get and can really see
how much joy and excitement my son gets from the nursery. His speech and confidence alone has come on leaps and bounds and it's lovely when we pick him up to see everything that he has got up to.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent, the staff are so thoughtful, kind and caring and go above and beyond for your child. And if you ever have any query or concern they are happy to help.

I can't recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery enough. The staff are so welcoming, happy and hardworking.
My little girl started in the toddler room and is now in preschool and very much enjoys it. She has seen the setting grow and it's so wonderful to see all the content child when we do collections and
drop offs.
My child can be very clingy but the staff are great to distract her and I know once I have left she settles quickly.
They do such creative and wonderful activities with my daughter she is excited to tell be about at the end of the day.
Nice now the days are sunnier they can all enjoy the large garden too.

I had my reservations on choosing a nursery over childminder but we have loved Ashbourne! I am a huge worrier and the ladies are so supportive and don't bat an eyelid to my emails and calls to check in! It's a huge transition and we have felt comforted along the way.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.873 for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.873
  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 Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Orton Southgate is based on 25 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 25 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.
