Honestly, couldn't wish for a better nursery for my daughter to attend. All you want is for your child to enjoy the nursery they go to, and we have that and more. our daughter gets so excited every morning, doesn't want to leave and loves the staff that look after her!
The nursery is kept so clean,
so modern and creative; it's amazing for kids.
The way she has developed in the past year has been amazing to watch.
Amazing staff!
High recommend!

We viewed several nurseries and chose The Riverside as it felt friendly and professional. We weren’t disappointed. Our eldest loved his time at The Riverside, and our youngest, who is still there, runs to the door every morning.
They look after them, keep them engaged and genuinely care for every
child.
The communication with parents is very good, and the manager is exceptional at her job.
I would highly recommend The Riverside, and I know when I drop my boys that they will have a wonderful and educational experience.

Wow, what can I say about this nursery; they are fantastic! My grandson has learnt so much, he just loves going there and learning something new each day, and all the staff are caring and wonderful. The manager is very good at her job, she is caring and lovely, and I would highly recommend this nursery.
He will be leaving soon, and I know he will be sad to leave, and we will be too. Keep up the good work, thank you to all the staff for all your hard work during these hard times, but you kept everything going - well done.

I have been Childminder for 35-years and have very high expectations of childcare.
I have been very impressed with The Riverside day nursery Windsor where the early years is so important.
Not only do they make the children feel welcome, safe and secure by providing a caring environment.
They go an
extra mile in the organization and planning fantastic themes and activities which keep the children stimulated, motivated and eager to learn.
Everybody has had such a difficult year with the covid situation.
The staff have kept going providing a bit of normality for the children and giving them opportunities to develop their confidence, build relationships and make friends.
The communication with parents and family members is always excellent, and parents lines of communication are always open.
My Grandaughter loves her nursery; I am very grateful and would like to thank all the staff who have kept things going for her.
All in all, the nursery has been outstanding.

This nursery is how all nurseries should be organised and run. The regular feedback relating to the children from staff is precise, timely and informative. The activities that are available every day are educational and fun, including art, cookery, water play and gardening. Outside space is available
for playtime and is routinely used. Importantly, the staff actually look like they enjoy their work and are really friendly and engaging. The children all seem to love the staff, who are largely young and full of energy. The nursery operates in a small, bright, colourful and cheerful space. Every single child should have the opportunity to attend a nursery that is run to the same high standards as this one is.

Riverside is a fantastic nursery for our two boys. One who has special dietary needs. They are really caring and have lovely staff who always go the extra mile. I could not recommend this nursery any more for your child.

This is a wonderful place and second home to our little boy.
He only started 4-months ago but loved every day spent there, and his skills have improved drastically! He loves his carers, enjoys all of the activities, and most of the time doesn’t want to go home after! We couldn’t have hoped for a better
nursery; it’s just perfect!

Riverside nursery has been excellent since our daughter has joined after the first lockdown. All staff worked so hard to settle her into the new routine and have been very supportive of her allergies. The app used keeps us updated and well informed. A brilliant nursery!

To think that I was going to miss out on coming to view this nursery! I knew as soon as I stepped through the doors of the Riverside Nursery, that this was the place I wanted my son to be! The transition from 100% mummy to nursery staff was flawless, the gradual days and support from staff are incredible.
We started in the baby room and have now moved to older babies, and there isn't a day that I do not pick up a happy child who enjoys every minute of their time at nursery. Do not hesitate to get in contact, you will not be disappointed.

All 3 of my children have loved their time at this nursery. Great facilities and activities, amazing staff who know the children as individuals and a great family feel. Great feedback and updates on developmental stages achieved. Well managed and great communication from nursery to home. Can't praise
it enough.

I searched high and low for a nursery that I felt would be the kind of nurturing environment that I wanted my son to be in, day in, day out. Riverside Day Nursery was the only one that ticked all the boxes and made me (and more importantly) my son, feel so at ease. The staff here are so amazing with
the kids. They really do give it there all here. Unfortunately during Lockdown, the nursery was closed, and although it was a struggle to keep little one at home whilst husband and I both maintained full-time jobs, we agreed that there was no other place we would feel comfortable sending our son. The staff are so personable and make it a fun environment for the children to thrive. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. You won't regret it!

My daughter has been attending the Riverside Nursery for almost a year. I cannot recommend them more. The staff are enthusiastic, kind and caring. My daughter loves her time at nursery. The activities offered and the attention given to the children’s development and education seem to go above and beyond.
The manager and the team are extremely organised, the nursery is clean, tidy and they are open at all times to discuss anything that comes up. I feel that all of the staff are helpful and invested in my daughter’s happiness which is all you can ask for.

Both our girls attend and we absolutely love everything about it. There are always lots of activities, outside space and balanced meals which are always finished! We are kept up to date in real-time via an App which gives such peace of mind, especially knowing sleep times for my youngest who still naps
in the day. In addition to the excellent day-to-day care, they also put on events such as a Christmas Show (adorable!), Easter Bonnet Parades and Mother’s Day afternoon tea. All in all, fantastic and highly recommended!

I have recommended this nursery many times for its excellent facilities - by far the most impressive in the Windsor area with access to the whole leisure centre for swimming, dance, multiple garden areas and ducks to feed right on their doorstep! Also, there are things you sometimes don’t think of like
parking! Which make drop off and pick up so much easier and Riverside has it all. A lovely ethos led by sensible staff who the children respect and can chat to without being babied, I feel very lucky to have got a place for my son.

Both of my children have attended Riverside Day Nursery and both have developed within their surroundings and have enjoyed nursery life. The range of facilities, learning, education and enjoyment has been amazing. All the staff are welcoming, the nursery is accommodating and flexible to allow changes
to child care and have been amazing throughout lockdown and educating the children on COVID-19. A truly amazing nursery with exceptional staff.

The nursery at Riverside is a wonderful and caring place and both my children love attending. The staff are excellent, communicate well and fast (important for anxious parents), and really take the time to get to know the children and this is reflected in the affection they have for them. The activities
and play are well-structured and thought out. The nursery itself is clean and spacious, with an especially large outdoor area - not always common in Windsor. The support over the previous four months of lockdown has been exemplary, with care and attention provided during a very unsettling time. Highly recommended.

Lively, lovely, engaged staff really set the atmosphere here. I always feel that staff go above and beyond to engage with children and my little boy loves spending time here. Really love the fact that the team makes such great use of the leisure centre's resources.

I've had both my children go to this nursery. My son was there for almost three years and was sad to see him leave. My daughter is currently going and has been going for a year now. She gets on well with the staff and has no problems going in. I love this nursery and the staff. The communication is
outstanding (even keeping us updated every step of the way during the pandemic) both my kids have never had an issue, and they are always around if you have any questions. Highly recommend Riverside, cannot give them enough praise.

My daughter started attending Riverside Day Nursery just before her first birthday and I can not recommend this nursery enough. The staff are fantastic and my daughter has settled in extremely well. She has come on leaps and bounds since attending and I am elated that I chose this nursery. The facilities
and activities that are provided are just wonderful. Thank you to all the amazing staff and team for making the transition for both of us such a pleasant experience.

Children are happy and content in this nursery and the staff are attentive and professional at all times. Whenever I have picked up my child, am always verified by a password for safeguarding and all children are being cared for, whatever need they have. Updates are posted to my daughter throughout
the day, which puts her mind at ease.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.948 for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.948

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
