Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to say a big thank you to Ampfield nursery for being so supportive to my little girl. A big shout out to three members of staff for welcoming our family to the setting, keeping us updated on her progress, and offering so many incredible experiences, such as playtime in their forest area,
and lovely parent/child based events throughout the year.

Review from A G (Father of Child) published on 9 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really lovely nursery, we moved from another setting and the difference that we saw when moving was exceptional, the staff are so caring, no matter what room your child is in all the staff from different rooms will also make such an effort towards your child! There are always so many activities that
take place, the outdoor areas are great if your child enjoys being outside! My little one always talks about the activities hes been up to, the yummy food he has and mentions a lot of his friends and staff! It was the best move for my little one and it's so lovely to see him so happy to walk into nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Ampfield Childcare Hub since it opened and we have always been more than impressed by every aspect of the care she receives. As an EYFS teacher myself I am incredibly picky about nursery settings and I can only say positive things about Ampfield Childcare Hub.


The

setting boasts an incredible forest area and the children spend most of their mornings in nature exploring. This is very important to us as a family. We are regularly invited into nursery to take part in learning alongside our children. All members of staff are highly experienced or being trained up and encouraged to thrive.


Our daughter has allergies and we have never felt anything less than 100% confident that they can keep her safe.


Staff genuinely seem to love our daughter and enjoy feeding back about her day.


We actually live in a different town but would not consider changing our daughter's nursery for the convenience that one closer to home would provide.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff at the nursery are constantly delivering an engaging and fun nursery environment. They genuinely care about the development of all the children.


The nursery has an amazing outdoor forest space as well as a playground. It's quiet and away from the main road and offers a safe environment.


My

children have been at Hursley (and later Ampfield) for the past few years and they have shown significant growth and emotional development in their time there.

Review from P R (Father of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
We had a disappointing experience with this nursery. When we raised several concerns about our son's wellbeing, the responses felt dismissive. One key issue was that our son repeatedly said he wasn't allowed to play with his old friends. We shared this with his key person, but were told he had "new
friends" and it wasn't a problem. We later found out that the same child he struggled with was also stopping him from playing with others, which we felt needed better support. We also raised concerns about staff language and tone, but these were met with firm denials rather than open discussion. One written reply even included "lol," which we found unprofessional. We were encouraged to move him to another setting, which didn't feel like a resolution. Overall, we didn't feel heard or supported and, based on our experience, we cannot recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.066)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.066) out of 10 for Ampfield Childcare Hub is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.383 for Ampfield Childcare Hub is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.383
  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 3.683 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ampfield Childcare Hub is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.308
  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.
