Review from Jo B (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son is happy, safe and looks forward to going 4 times a week. He's made loads of friends, he knows the names of all the staff and he's exhausted and filthy when he gets home - to me the absolute sign of a great day.
Yes there was a high staff turnover and lots of changes initially, but this was

a new setting and more recently things have settled down, communication has been clearer and as parents we are now kept well informed.
I know who my child's key worker is and I can message her to ask questions or arrange calls to discuss things if the need arises. All the staff seem really kind and helpful and appear to have our children's best interests at heart. There are some genuinely really kind room staff who work there who go above and beyond to help.
Each situation and experience is different but my son is happy, included and settled which is all that I can ask for.

Review from S A (Father of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Zero Star Review
This has been the most distressing childcare experience my family has ever had. In my view, children's wellbeing is not a priority here. The constant staff turnover means children never get the stability or familiar faces they need. The approach to behaviour felt punitive, not nurturing,

and senior management were dismissive whenever I raised concerns. Instead of addressing issues, I was told to find another nursery.
The owners run this place like a business with no warmth or genuine care, and I do not believe they are suited to running a childcare setting.
The impact on my child has been heartbreaking: he developed a tremor when faced with the idea of nursery, wakes up with nightmares, and becomes scared when we drive past the building. My complaint was ignored, and the response I received was unhelpful. I deeply regret ever trusting this nursery.

Reply from L J Peacock, Executive Director/Owner at Northstowe NurseryDisappointing to read your review; however, the statements made do not reflect your child's experience at our nursery. Any concerns you raised were fully investigated and responded to within the required timeframes in line with our complaints procedure.
Your suggestion that your child was traumatised does not align with the evidence. Your child attended all booked sessions throughout the entire notice period, and during this time you continued to thank the team, both verbally and in writing, for the care and support provided over almost twelve months of registration. While we respect every parent's right to share their views, we must also ensure that publicly posted statements are accurate. We respectfully request that no further false or misleading statements are made regarding your child's experience, as the claims in this review do not reflect the documented facts or the care provided.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.1 (6.063) out of 10 for Northstowe Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

The Average Rating is 3.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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:

5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 3.000 for Northstowe Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 21 Ratings = 3
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 3.063 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Northstowe Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3
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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.063
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
