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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

This isn't just a childcare provider it's a home away from home for the children which is lovley to know , I have not once worried about my daughter here as I know she is in caring and competent hands who love and cherish children while giving them to best possible early learning education. My daughter
absolutely loves all the staff and they are very good adapting to suit her every need on a day to day basis of what support she needs, with her having Autism she is no verbal and therefore cannot communicate her needs but all the staff surrounding her know mostly everything she wants especially her 1:1 which has made a big positive impact on her time at Nursey. Nothing but good words for these absolutely lovely people who dedicate themselves to our little one's happiness and growth

The entire staff is very well trained and my little boy loves both the old and new teachers. He really likes the activities they do every day so much that he tells me to do them at home too! Every day we are informed about everything our child does during the 5 hours spent at the nursery. We are extremely
happy with the entire team and we will miss all the moments spent together, my boy will be going to school in September. In the 2 years we have never encountered any problems or misunderstandings, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

My daughter has had the good fortune to be part of Rosehill Nursery.
I've watched her blossom into a happy, confident, intelligent little girl, with exceptional emotional maturity and superb social skills, whilst retaining the joy of childhood. My daughter enters nursery laughing and I struggle to
pull her away at the end of the day, when she tells me how each member of that team has worked together to make that and every one of her days special (especially one staff member in particular). The consistent high standard of integrated care my daughter receivedls from this diverse, yet stable team of staff cannot be paralleled. As parents we are very much included and 'on board'. constant feedback given via the app, and our opinions sought!

I am so pleased with Rosehill Nursery and the care they provide for my child. From the very first day, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, friendly, and supportive, making both my child and me feel at ease. The environment is warm, nurturing, and full of engaging activities that keep the children
happy and stimulated.


The staff are attentive and genuinely care about the children's well-being and development. My child has grown in confidence, made lovely friends, and enjoys going to nursery. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed about my child's progress and daily activities.


I highly recommend Rosehill Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, friendly, and caring place for their little one. A big thank you to the wonderful team for all they do!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.945 for Rosehill Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.945
  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 26 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 26 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.
