Review from L M (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the nursery for over a year and leaves soon to start reception in September. The most current manager has really turned the nursery into a fantastic setting. We receive good communication about updates on learning and activity's, what food she's eaten and how much. The staff are all lovely and there's been a lot of consistency the last 6 months. I love the improvement Michaela has done. Thank you

My child loves coming to nursery and is always excited in the morning on the way in and happy when picked up. We feel that he is happy and safe when he attends and gets lots of stimulation and activities in the day.

Overall Experience

As a mother, I am really happy with my child going to Northstowe Nursery. They are taking good care of my child. Really happy about the feedback we see receiving day by day. I should say that the introduction of diary is a very good incentive, we get much more information about their daily activities, eating style. Looking forward to see much more information and details regarding how they are doing every day. Thank you for all your hard work and support for our child.

My son has been at the nursery since it first opened. We have had a great experience with all the staff. His social skills have improved along with his language as English is not his first language. Thank you to all staff who have taken care of him.

Review from T I (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We were a bit skeptical about the care especially when our child moved from the baby class to the toddler room however, management and staff have consistently reassured s and improved whenever we had any comments or reviews, which is appreciated. We would appreciate if pictures of activities done by out child will be showed with us as often as it were when they were in the baby room. Overall, we are happy with the staff and management.

Review from E L (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter (almost 3 y/o) joined the nursery last may and she was welcomed by the staff very well. We had some issues on difficult drop offs, as expected with a first timer in the nursery; but when we escalated this to the staff, they helped us navigate through different solutions to mange it. After 4 weeks of joining we noticed improvement on our daughters social skills. One thing that can be improved is the updates on the app, like few photos can be included, or a description of any activities done during the day so that we can reinforce it at home.

I found the nursery a very pleasant place for my son. Staff are very friendly and always open for a quick conversation. They helped my son get settled into the nursery nicely. I also found new app very useful and easy to use.

Overall Experience
The staff at Northstowe Nursery seem very caring. I have found that the communications and observations have improved over the past few months. My daughter seems happy and goes into nursery with no issues.

I have found some of the staff changes a little unsettling, but it has settled down now. I would also appreciate a bit more flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times.

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

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 Nursery
Disappointing 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.
