The staff are amazing the approach of warmth & welcoming. The staff are very friendly towards the children & parents. Full of smiles.
They are very helpful.
My child throughly enjoys
Going to nursery.
In a few week he had learnt how
To wash his to be very respectful & always saying thank
you & welcome & when he makes a mistake quickly say I'm sorry.
This is all because of the staff how they teach the children.
He also started drinking milk &
Eating fruits.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The Staff at the nursery are doing good with my son. Initially, he gets injuries from either dragging a toy with another child or another child hitting him on the face or him hitting a leg on a stand alone object. There have been little or No incident to report since around February of this year 2026.
Overall I'm okay with the care and education of my son at Rosehill Nursery. Thank you
Reply from Kaysha Sulley, Area Manager at Rosehill Day NurseryDear Temitope,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Rosehill Nursery.

We're really pleased to hear that your son has settled well and that you're happy with the care and education he is receiving. It's also reassuring to know that the number of incidents has significantly reduced since February 2026, as the safety and wellbeing of every child is always our highest priority.

We understand that young children are still developing their social skills and learning how to interact with one another, which can sometimes lead to minor incidents. That said, we are always proactive in supporting positive behaviour and ensuring safe play, and we continuously work closely with our staff, children, and families to maintain a nurturing and secure environment.

Your feedback means a great deal to us, and we truly appreciate your continued support and trust in our team.

My child loves attending the setting and loves to interact with his peers that he has made friends with. Amazing staff, any issues they go above and beyond to help you with them. Also lovely of them to do a little get together where parents can come in for a short time, for example Christmas they did
a Christmas party where Santa (staff member dressed up) came to visit. Also top marks for the chefs for their amazing food to cater to all religions. Amazing app to be able to see what your child has to eat, when they come in and leave.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are incredibly happy with this nursery and couldn't recommend it more highly. From the moment we first visited, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. They are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child's development and wellbeing.
The environment is safe, clean, and thoughtfully
set up with a wide range of engaging activities that support learning through play. It's clear that a lot of effort goes into planning fun and educational experiences every day.
Communication with parents is excellent - we are always kept informed about our child's progress, daily activities, and any important updates. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands
Most importantly, our child is always happy and excited to attend, which says everything. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a nurturing and positive environment.

Rosehill Day Nursery has truly exceeded my expectations. My daughter started at the nursery in January and the staff have been remarkably attentive. They have taken care of all our needs and nothing has been too much in assisting my daughter to settle in.
She is thriving and is very fond of her care
providers. I am very content with the setting and staff as I am able to confidently leave a happy, excited little girl with them.

I am always telling friends/family how amazing this nursery really is simply because of the people within it. The staff are like family, they are so easy to talk to, so easy to take advice from etc. I cannot thank the nursery staff of Rosehill enough for the help and support they've given myself and
my son with potty training and kind hands my son has developed such great friendships with the children and the staff. He absolutely adores them and I would never choose any other nursery for my child.

After visiting multiple Nursery's for my 18 month old and having reservations against putting my child in a Nursery. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of professionalism, kindness, and care from every single staff at Rosehill Day Nursery. The individuals looking after the younger children are
attentive and the detailed feedback they give on the child's day is really comforting and gives parents confidence that they are in safe hands.

Great, approachable staff, clean and well maintained premises. Great communication and attentive members of staff and management. Baby garden small but and effort is made to take babies into the toddler garden when available. A range of toys and activities is provided. Parents are updated about their
child's progress, with pictures.
This nursery no longer covers school holidays but their sister nursery does at a good price. Staff show genuine interest in children.
A small ?indoor climbing frame would be a great improvement.
Food is brought from sister nursery at it's nice and varied. No halal but vegetarian provision. No space for own kitchen unfortunately.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for Rosehill Day 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.946 for Rosehill Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (404 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 426 Ratings = 4.946
  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 Rosehill Day Nursery is based on 36 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 36 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.
