Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves this nursery, and it's wide range of innovative activities. It has a wonderful community feel. I look forward to my 2nd daughter attending when she is old enough.


The outdoor nature of the nursery creates a unique environment and introduction to a vital.part of life

My son loves going to Dunbar Private Nursery, he gets excited every morning he attends. Being outdoors has been so good for him, he is more confident and calmer, and he has become a nature lover. Staff are lovely and I can see how they care about each little kid.

Great set up and so wonderful for children to be able to spend so much time outside. They're learning skills for life just by being there. All the children get a backpack with their own kit which is a lovely way to start. The staff are amazing, my daughter loves it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely outdoor nursery with a lot of freedom to explore both a walled garden as well as forest and trees. It is what Dunbar needed for a long time. It gives the children the chance to explore and engage with nature and use creativity and sustainability in their play. Staff are lovely and friendly,
communication is great.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has attended the nursery for three months or so and absolutely loves it. She was 3 when she started but has since turned 4. She has exciting learning opportunities all through the day, she is challenged and she is never bored. Her days are spent in wholesome, creative activities that have forged
a really strong connection to nature and we love knowing that she is outdoors the whole day. She receives excellent, nurturing care and she has an affectionate and warm relationship with the staff. There is a really high ratio of staff to children. Currently, we send a packed lunch. We get lots of detailed feedback in conversation at the end of the day about how her day has been. We also see lots of photos of her on the app and it is clear that she is having the time of her life. I am so happy sending her off to nursery, knowing that, even on my best parenting days, I would still be hard pressed to provide her with the sort of day that she has at nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.523)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.523) out of 10 for Dunbar Private 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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 4.985 for Dunbar Private Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 67 Ratings = 4.985
  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 4.538 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dunbar Private Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.938
  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.
