Nursery and Childcare Ratings

Children are what parents live for! They are the most important part of their lives and are loved unconditionally. Pre-school (6 months-5 years), Nursery and Childcare Establishments are often where parents first have to bravely show a leap of faith and trust in relation to, not only their safety but also the nurture of their beloved children. Therefore it is only right that parents have an unbiased and detailed assessment of the prospective Nursery and Childcare settings in their area, allowing them to make more informed decisions. Nursery and Childcare ratings should be the first step for all parents and carers when searching for an establishment for their children to thrive.

The rating system we use is developed by skilled industry experts and is therefore thorough, impartial and highly comprehensive. This allows us to provide the most accurate and informative reports to those who need it the most ensuring that the best interests of children are at the core.

Our team of qualified professionals conduct detailed annual assessments of the 33,000 Nurseries and Childcare Establishments in the U.K. The findings are then published here exclusively on our website, achieving our goal of allowing parents and carers to make more informed decisions where it may feel that they are spoilt for choice. We also provide useful and informative information such as the latest news and articles, childcare products, new legislation, job advertisements and lots more.

Although Ofsted is a good source of information it’s a governing body and does not specialise in assessing Childcare settings. Their assessments are bureaucratic, mechanical and mainly concerned with procedural matters. The establishments are notified before assessments which are not conducted annually.

In our opinion other sources of nursery information are more similar to advertising businesses for Nursery groups i.e. companies that operate nursery chains/franchises. These relationships therefore may lead to biased representations and lack some of the information that is essential to help parents and carers in making this crucial decision.

In contrast, this cooperative was built by parents and professionals passionate about children, their care and their well-being. We will be a fundamental advocate for improving the industry in every way possible and strongly believe that 'it takes a village to raise a child.' We are reliable, dedicated and here to stay.

Thank you for taking the time to read our mission statement.

  • Nursery and Childcare Ratings release a new website for parents:A good start in life is indispensabe

    A group of young entrepreneurs have taken up a monumental task for their first independent business endeavour. The founders of Nursery and Childcare Ratings Stephanie Downey, Kendall Gideon and Melissa Nelson have joined professional forces to create a business with longevity. www.nurseryandchildcareratings.co.uk is a newly created website covering the whole of the UK; it allows parents to choose the most suitable nursery or childcare establishment in their area using a unique rating system developed by skilled industry experts. This is therefore thorough, impartial and highly comprehensive. The mission is to provide non-biased, factual, evidence based reviews on all nurseries in the UK.


    Stephanie a founding member said “Children are what parents live for! They are the most important part of their lives and are loved unconditionally’’. This company acknowledges the fact that parents have to trust nursery and childcare establishments with both the safety and nurture of their beloved children. Therefore Nursery and Childcare Ratings should be the first step for all parents and carers when searching for an establishment for their children to thrive.


    Our vision is to become the number one point of call for parents and carers when they are deciding on what childcare establishment to send their child. Our website also provides useful and informative information such as the latest news and articles, activities to do at home, places to visit with kids, information on child special needs and mental health issues, watch lists, childcare products and lots more.


    In 1929, John Spedan Lewis initiated a form of business that enabled all future employees to become co-owners and this concept is one we intend to emulate here at Nursery and Childcare Ratings LTD. Therefore all members of the team have been offered an opportunity to own a percentage of the company. We believe this concept encourages important values such as a shared commitment, collaboration, enthusiasm, an all or nothing mentality and a 'we not me' team culture.


    We have set up a go fund me to support our evolution; the funds will be used for content creation, website improvements, nursery assessments and advertisements. Please donate to help us improve nursery and childcare practices over the UK https://gf.me/u/ykq7d7 .
