Latest Reviews for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Padgate
28 January 2026
My little boy started at Ashbourne Day Nurseries in October 25 and he settled in so quickly! All the staff have been amazing, supportive, and attentive. He began attending 2 days a week and has now increased to 3 days, and the difference in him is incredible - such a happy little boy! The nursery is
very responsive if you need to contact them. I would highly recommend Ashbourne Day Nurseries to anyone looking for a caring and professional environment for their child.

I went for a show round at padgate this week and it was amazing. We have viewed other nurseries but Padgate was the best we have seen. The manager was lovely and gave us all the relevant information about the rooms, staff, resources, the areas they have set up and the routines for the nursery. All
the staff in the room were very smiley and looked happy to be there and it was so nice to see so much positivity from the manager, staff and children and to see the staff engaged with the children. I absolutely love the idea of the children telling you how they feel when they arrive and how you focus on their feelings and allowing them to learn about it. I was made to feel like my child will be valued and cared for instead of being just another number in the setting and i couldn't ask for any more.

My daughter started here in September and is settling well. All the staff are lovely and helpful. My daughter likes the activities they arrange and the toys provided. She also makes use of the sensory room provided.

Exceptional Care & Growth - Ashbourne Nursery is Unmatched!
Ashbourne Nursery has provided truly exceptional care for our autistic son. From day one, their expertise in SEN support, compassion, and tailored approach helped him settle, thrive, and find joy in learning. They don't just meet
needs-they anticipate them, creating a safe, stimulating environment where he feels understood and celebrated.
Their team's patience, proactive communication, and genuine warmth have been transformative. Daily updates and creative strategies (sensory play, calming techniques) show their dedication to his progress. Watching him grow socially and emotionally has been incredible.
For parents seeking inclusive, heart-led care, Ashbourne sets the gold standard. Forever grateful!
Trust, care, progress-they deliver it all.

Outstanding Nursery - Highly Recommend!
This nursery has been absolutely amazing! The staff are incredibly nurturing, and the facilities provide a warm, safe, and engaging environment for children to thrive. They looked after my daughter for four years, and I couldn't have asked for better care.
Even now, I continue to support this nursery at a community level because of the incredible work they do. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a loving and supportive setting for their child.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for over a year now. She absolutely loves it and so do I, every single time she comes out her speech has developed even more as the weeks go by.
The manager is incredible and we have formed such a special relationship with her, she goes above and beyond
for every single one of the children that attend. You can see how much the children mean to her and how much she loves her job.
The staff members are also amazing, handover is always in depth and my child always comes out with a smile on her face.
I will be sending my other little girl her too when she is old enough.

My little boy has been attending this nursery for a year and loves it. Never upset to go in, always in a great mood at pick up. That says it all really.
Staff are warm and approachable, updates are thorough.
I feel like the app could be better utilised for things like developmental updates. But
it's nice knowing what they've eaten through the day and the occasional snapshot of activities.
They have a spacious outdoor area which they spend lots of time in (weather permitting).
Indoor area has lovely little nooks, messy play, home living, sensory.
I love that they have a separate dining area to replicate school/home dining.
Manager/parent communication is great, the manager keeps us up to date on everything and is always on hand for any issues.
Only reason I'm marking down learning is because my son is only 1.5 and I'm not sure what he's actually "learning" at this age (again developmental updates on app would help here)
Would definitely recommend this setting to others.

A really nice and well thought out nursery. My daughters absolutely love it there, so much so that my 2 year old chose to go to nursery on Friday instead of spending her day with daddy!
The staff are passionate and well trained and there's a real family atmosphere to the entire setting. I'm always
kept up to date with my 2 daughters' progress/activities through the app and, most importantly, through face to face conversation with the staff who speak to me respectfully and graciously.
This nursery keeps going from strength to strength. Keep up the great work!
