This is such a friendly, fun, evolving nursery. All 3 of my children have attended here, and all 3 of them have loved it. They always go bounding in excited, happy and confident.
The environment is safe, fun and stimulating. Over the past year, the nursery has been transformed: the garden has been renovated, the baby room has a new soft play area, the menu has had a revamp, etc - and I know there's more in the pipeline to follow.
The new manager is dedicated, proactive and seems really motivated to make the nursery and staff the best they can be. It is really clear that the welfare, safety and happiness of the children is at the heart of everything they do. Emails are responded to the same day, any queries or concerns are welcomed in a highly approachable way and are then adapted or responded to in a timely manner. The manager is present as often as possible to have conversations with parents, which is really valuable as communication is key to ensure children and families have the best possible experience.
The nursery plans so many exciting events and experiences for the children too: pet handling days, people coming in to talk about their professions, summer/autumn/winter/spring fetes, spa days where the children can wear their pyjamas, dress up days, walks to the local park, halloween discos, Santa visit, special days where parents can come for breakfast and a stay and play, etc. The children even have Spanish lessons where they learn simple phrases, counting and songs in Spanish. My 4 year old can now confidently count to 10 in Spanish and sings a couple of songs too.
All of the staff are kind, caring, fun and loving. They all really create an environment for my children that feels like a home from home. It's so nice to know that I am dropping my children off each morning to a place where they are going to feel loved, safe and valued. So often when I come to pick my boys up in the evening, they are having a disco, with lights and music - even the staff are joining in most of the time. My 4 year old Comes out saying that he has been at a party - good exercise for him too.
Honestly so impressed with this nursery and how it is always adapting and evolving to ensure it is offering the children the best possible deal. My children love it and are always buzzing to tell me about their day when I come to pick them up.
Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review. It truly means the world to us that all three of your children have loved their time here and that they come in feeling excited, happy and confident - that's exactly what we hope for every child who walks through our doors.
We're so pleased you've noticed the changes and improvements over the past year. From the garden renovation and new soft play area to the menu updates and upcoming plans, we're always striving to create the best possible environment for our children and families. Your recognition of that effort really does mean a lot to the whole team.
It's especially lovely to hear your kind words about our manager and staff. We are incredibly proud of our dedicated team and their commitment to providing a safe, nurturing and engaging setting. Open, approachable communication with parents is something we value highly, so it's wonderful to know you feel supported and listened to.
We're glad your little ones have enjoyed all the events and experiences too - from Spanish lessons to discos and special celebration days! Seeing the children learn, grow and have fun (and hearing about counting to 10 in Spanish!) is exactly why we do what we do.
Thank you again for your continued trust and support. We feel so lucky to be part of your family's journey and to provide a home-from-home for your boys.

Both of my children attended this nursery. They are both in school now and still tell me how much they miss the setting. My nephew, who is now 2 years old, also attends Ashbourne Oxley, as I couldn't recommend it highly enough to my family!
They have been amazing throughout and truly are a godsend to our family. They are always so supportive and have been able to accommodate extra sessions whenever we've needed childcare support at a moment's notice. The management team are incredibly approachable, always happy to answer any questions, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble.
Whenever I collect my nephew, the staff are so welcoming and always give a full rundown of his day and all the wonderful activities he has taken part in.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a caring, nurturing, warm, and welcoming setting. I just wish I could give them more stars!
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and detailed review, Jane. It truly means a great deal to hear how positively your children remember their time with us, and that your nephew is now enjoying the setting too. Knowing that our support, flexibility, and approachability have made a difference to your family is incredibly rewarding for the whole team. We're especially pleased to hear that you feel welcomed and well informed during collections, as strong communication with families is something we value highly. Thank you for your trust, recommendations, and kind words, they mean more to us than you know.

My child went here and was in the pre school room he had a great time and always enjoyed coming. He even tried new food there which he wouldn't eat at home so very happy.

The activities are always well thought out, creative, and help the children learn while having fun. I've noticed such a boost in her confidence, communication, and independence since she started here. The nursery also keeps us well-informed with regular updates and photos, which is such a lovely touch.
It's so reassuring to know she's in such a safe, nurturing, and happy environment. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent or family member looking for somewhere that truly puts the children's well-being first.

My grandson has been attending Ashbourne Oxley since he was 9 months old, and I can't praise them enough. He absolutely loves going to nursery and has formed amazing bonds with both the staff and the other children.
He also has an allergy, which the team have catered for brilliantly. They make sure he is never left out and always has the same meals as the other children, adapted to meet his dietary requirements.
The events held at the nursery are fantastic, especially the open days where we're able to bring friends and family along. During the time my grandson has been there, he has come on in leaps and bounds and has learned so much.
The nursery has truly exceeded our expectations over the last few months, and the management team are increasingly responsive to our needs and always there to welcome us with a smile.
The team at Ashbourne Oxley are truly amazing -- well done, girls!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Jules. We are delighted to hear how much your grandson enjoys coming to nursery and that he has formed such strong bonds with the staff and other children. It's great to know that his dietary needs have been carefully catered for, ensuring he feels included at every meal. We're also pleased that you enjoy our events and feel supported by our management team. Your kind words mean a lot to everyone at the nursery and are truly appreciated.
