Review from Ailsa B (Mother of Child) published on 16 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Wildhearts have created a nurturing, happy environment for their little visitors.
I am so grateful we found this little haven for our little one. Not only are the staff fantastic, but the outdoor space gives our daughter the freedom to explore and investigate with a wonderful variety of
learning opportunities. I recommend the Wildhearts nursery and stay and play sessions to everyone and will continue to do so!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was so anxious about sending my child to nursery, but on finding Wildhearts, I just knew it was the right place for my kids. The ethos of the nursery aligns so well with my own; I'm never worried about leaving my daughter in their care, and she is always so excited to go and sad to leave at the end
of the day. I just wish she could stay another couple of years instead of leaving before she turns 5.

Review from Kate A (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were regular attendees to the weekly Stay and play sessions run at this setting for a year before my child started school. Both myself and man-child absolutely love it - it was a definite highlight of our week! I sincerely wish it had opened a few years ago so I could have utilised it as a childcare
setting, but by the time she was open for enrolment, my youngest was only a term off starting school so it didn't make sense to move him. Nadine is brilliant and had a true passion for what she has created here and the children who attend. The care, attention to detail and amazing facilities mean that I would highly recommend this setting to anyone though, it's truly one of a kind and second to none.


Just adding a note to say I've scored it down on cleanliness because its an outdoor nursery - there is mud everywhere! But personally, I don't think that's a bad thing, it just wouldn't be realistic to give 5 stars for this section!

Reply from Nadine Marshman, Manager at Wildhearts Outdoor Nursery
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It's really appreciated. I'm dreading the return of the mud this winter already but such a sensory experience for the children!

Review from Chantal M (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child absolutely loves this nursery! It's a true outdoor forest school where the children spend most of their time outside, exploring, playing, and learning in nature. Every morning he goes in with a big smile on his face and is already asking when he can go back again. The staff are incredible -
caring, supportive, and always encouraging the children to try new things, take safe risks, and build confidence. I love that he's learning so many practical skills and getting a Montessori-style education, all while having fun.


We couldn't be happier - it's a wonderful place for children to grow and thrive.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.332)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.332) out of 10 for Wildhearts Outdoor 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 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 4.957 for Wildhearts Outdoor Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.957
  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 4.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wildhearts Outdoor Nursery 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 4 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.
