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!

Review from J B (Mother of Child) published on 14 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

I am extremely happy with our child's experience at Rosehill Day Nursery. The staff are genuinely caring and create a warm, welcoming environment.
The daily updates I receive through the school app allow us to stay informed about our child's day and any developmental milestones she achieve. My daughter
really likes to go to school and enjoy every activity.

Our two year old son started attending this nursery recently. He has settled down quickly and enjoys attending daily. He has made new friends and his language is noticeably improving. The care has been outstanding, no complaints at all.

Review from K B (Mother of Child) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has attended Rosehill Day Nursery since it opened, and we appreciate the beautiful, recently refurbished building. The staff we have encountered have been lovely; they are patient, encouraging, and at times quite enthusiastic with our child! Initially, we received regular updates and photos
through the app, but this has not continued, which is disappointing for us. While the app does provide updates throughout the day on nappy changes and meals, we believe there is room for improvement in overall communication between staff and parents. On a few occasions, we have picked up our child from someone we had never met before, and the communication has been poor, particularly when the nursery becomes busy. Our child is adjusting well, which is a positive development.

Mine and my daughter's experience has been nothing but positive with consistent contact with the nursery staff who are absolutely lovely, also the fact the nappies and food are included is a huge weight off the shoulders of the Mumma/Dadda's out there struggling. Thank you Rosehill for giving my daughter
an incredible and positive learning environment, I look forward to watching the nursery flourish as it deserves to!

Being connected to this nursery 5 and 6 years ago, knowing the old and now the new. It has improved dramatically. Since reopening with a new owner and new management it has been an absolute delight for my child to attend. Each and every one of the nursery staff are so bubbly, friendly, and welcoming.
You feel so at home. It didn't take long for my child to settle in as the atmosphere could not be any better for a toddler. They make sure to upload photos or updates regarding your child's day, what they play with, or who they interact with. It is so easy to approach any of the staff members with any questions. I believe the nursery deserves these 5 stars.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 Rosehill Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 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 Rosehill Day Nursery is based on 15 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
