We love this nursery. I think they do an incredible job in intellectually stimulating the children in a playful way. Both my children have benefited from being at the nursery and I have seen significant progress in their development since joining. The range of activities they offer is outstanding. Everybody
is so welcoming, flexible and great fun and I would highly recommend the Riverside Day Nursery.

My little son has been in this nursery since the summer and I loved it from the first day. The staff are so loving and caring. They do lots of activities indoors and when the weather is OK, they enjoy the lovely garden at the back. I made the decision of changing my son from another nursery and I am
so happy I did so. Every mum was saying such nice things about this place that once I went for a visit, I couldn’t resist. Best nursery in Windsor so far. There is a great sense of community and their good energy and love is contagious.

This nursery is nothing short of fantastic. Our two year old settled in straight away. Her confidence has grown so much since she joined at Easter. She adores all the staff, the care she receives is excellent. We will be sending our second daughter when the time comes.

Our daughter has attended Riverside for just coming up to a year now. I was apprehensive about putting her into nursery but the second we walked in to view Riverside (we’d looked at a few), we knew this was the one.
The nursery manager was so friendly, enthusiastic and personable, and she really made
us feel welcome. This has continued throughout our daughter's time there. It’s clear she takes the time to get to know each of the children and has a genuine care for each of them.
All the other girls are great too. It’s clear they really enjoy what they do and have the children’s best interests at heart.
Myself and my husband love the app, which keeps us updated throughout the day of activities our daughter’s been doing (along with pictures), what she’s eaten and when she’s slept etc. It’s a fantastic tool to keep us reassured (and slightly connected) while she’s in their care.
I couldn’t recommend Riverside or its wonderful staff enough. Our daughter loves it!

My son was a timid, shy little boy when he joined the lovely team at The Riverside Day Nursery. He has since flourished into a talkative, independent and confident little boy. Having gone back to work when he was only 9 months old (6 months corrected) it took me a long time to find a child care provider
who I felt gave him everything he needed. I am so sad I didn't find The Riverside Day Nursery as soon as I returned to work. Not only are the girls friendly, but they are also so hardworking and really do put 110% into looking after and developing every child that they care for. My son has gone up earlier than planned, and I take very very little credit for that. Whenever I've needed to leave him in for slightly longer, or I need an earlier drop off the team have gone above and beyond to ensure this is not a problem. I honestly cannot fault this nursery at all and I really wish time would slow down so my son could enjoy even more time there.
From the bottom of my heart - thank you to the team.

My 3 boys go to Riverside Nursery, I can’t thank all staff members enough for their continued support and care they show our boys. The boys are very happy and are progressing at a fast pace. The environment and setting are fantastic and the management of the nursery and its staff is second to none.
Thank you all, keep up the super work.

We could not be happier with our daughter’s care at The Riverside Day Nursery. She is well-loved by carers and appreciated as an individual, heartily encouraged, appropriately challenged, her progress meticulously reported. The surroundings are excellent - being in a leisure centre with gorgeous outdoor
and indoor spaces beyond the lovely nursery space. Management focuses on building and growing the staff/team which leads to high staff retention and, therefore, a stable environment for the kiddies. Food is fresh, healthy, interesting. The new app and regular staff posts mean we feel connected to our daughter while away from her.

My son has had a great start at Riverside. The staff took great care in ensuring he was in the right room, with the right key worker, and most of all, happy. He settled quickly, has a great time and this is due to the excellent care.

We have been really happy with Riverside and most importantly our son is very happy there. He has always been very well cared for. Since he has been in pre-school he has made great progress with his learning as well as with social, emotional and self-care skills. There’s also a brilliant range of activities
and enrichment trips for the pre-school children - our son particularly enjoys his swimming lessons. Communication with parents has improved significantly since the nursery started using an app. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Riverside to others and look forward to continuing our relationship with nursery when our baby daughter starts next year.

I have a 3-year-old who doesn’t speak or understand English. She had a hard time settling down but I was very surprised with the loving care each one of the staff gave her. They were always cuddling her when she was nervous and were very patient to understand her needs. Besides, they have plenty of
outside spaces to play. I definitely recommend The Riverside Day Nursery!

Before signing my daughter up to the nursery, I could see there were plenty of activities to keep her entertained and the facilities appeared clean and well maintained. Upon her joining, the staff did a wonderful job at making my daughter feel secure, settled and happy. They really went the extra mile
to ensure she had an enjoyable time when she struggled being away from home, she now cannot wait to go to nursery and I have to fight for a kiss goodbye! The carers are all are wonderful in ensuring my daughter is continually learning new skills, improving her language and communication and encourage her to eat and sleep well. The introduction of the app to keep up to date when how my daughter is getting on throughout the day gives me real peace of mind. I. Would highly recommend the nursery to parents.

Riverside Day Nursery is about the children.
They are always doing new exciting and creative activities to keep the children entertained. Our son loves his music classes and is very excited for his first trip to the local theatre this Christmas.
They have introduced a new feedback app which is brilliant.
Getting instant feedback including photos and small clips of what my son is doing during my working day melts my heart.
They even go the extra mile and look after us parents too with special Mother's & Father's Day Teas and Breakfast.
A well organised and team-spirited nursery... thanks Team for making it easier to leave the little fella in your safe hands.

We have been delighted with the care shown to our son since he joined the nursery earlier this year. We sent our daughter to another nursery in Windsor last year before she started school and were pretty unimpressed. That disappointing experience prompted us to look at alternative nurseries and we have
been so pleased with our decision. I would recommend the Riverside Nursery to any parents looking for good quality childcare.

When I walked through the door, I instantly knew this was where my daughter would be happy and so would I. Everyone is so creative that each week the children’s imaginations light up to see how each room will be. The effort, care and personal relationships with each child is established with all the
early education you would want but your child thinks it’s all just fun. You can see that time, money and thought is put into how all the children are cared for and when you drop your child off you feel confident that they will have a fun and happy day so you can get on with yours. There are many choices in Windsor but once you meet the manager and all the wonderful staff I’m sure, like many other parents, your search will be over. Plus if you’re that way inclined you could always use the gym.

Our daughter has been attending Riverside for nearly two years now and we couldn’t be happier. The nursery staff are friendly and helpful, enthusiastic and genuinely happy in their jobs and our daughter loves it there. She is always welcomed by name and her individual needs are always met. They get
plenty of time to play outdoors even in the cooler months and there are a wide variety of activities to keep them occupied indoors too. We are frequently amazed by the things that our daughter learns during her time there and can definitely see the advantages of her spending time at this wonderful nursery.

Having researched into several local nurseries for my 12-month-old Son, Riverside were the most welcoming and left a lasting impression. The defined areas for each ages group of children are bright and inspiring, the new baby room and pre-school rooms impressed me the most, they have a choice of outdoor
areas too. The staff are brilliant with the children, encouraging them to engage with both other children and adults and develop their skills. They are proactive in wanting to know how your child has been when you drop off and are keen to help settle your child taking away any anxieties. The nurseries new app for parents is brilliant, it reassures you that your child has eaten, slept and is happy, through up to date data, pictures and videos rather than the end of day debrief. Thank you, Riverside.

As I’m sure all new mums are, I was incredibly nervous to leave my son in nursery, but the ladies at Riverside were wonderful. They gave him all the cuddles, attention and food required to help him settle in and made me feel at ease. He’s been there eight months and has been in younger babies and older
babies, both lovely rooms with attentive and caring staff who go above and beyond every day (it still amazes me that all the staff know all of the children’s names). Since he started there, I can see how much his confidence and communication skills have grown and I know he genuinely enjoys going and has a great bond with so many of the staff. I urge anyone looking for a nursery to pay a visit to Riverside, you won't regret it.

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.
