  • Mother Goose Day Nursery, Aldershot
Mother Goose Day Nursery has a warm and inviting atmosphere, recreating a home from home environment where the children in their care will feel secure and happy. They are open from Monday-Friday throughout the year except for public holidays and one week during Christmas.

The nursery is open for 51 weeks of the year catering for ages 2 years to 5 years where there is an option for full days (8:00am-6:00pm) or half days (8:00am-1:00pm/1:00pm-6:00pm).

The Nursery consists of one main playroom which includes the extension of a conservatory giving more space for the children to explore. The nursery also has plentiful outdoor space so that learning, and development can be taken outside. The rooms have maximum numbers of children and the right staff to child ratio according to the guidelines set out by OFSTED.

The main rooms hold a maximum of 33 children aged 2 years -5 years. The ratio for this age is 1:4 for 2 years and 1:8 for 3 years plus. The children in their setting are starting to become more independent and are encouraged to develop their self helps skills more widely.

The children help to prepare their own snacks and take turns in serving snacks out to each other as a way to build on their self-confidence. Weekly diaries on ey-man are used as a way of communicating with parents and carers.

Mother Goose is a warm, friendly environment. The varied food and drink gives children so many different taste experiences. Staff on arrival and departure are welcoming and informative on the day's activities. Very well organised and would highly recommend.

It's a good nursery. My child loves it so much. She loves to be there. The space and conditions are very good. The staff are very nice, very kind. My child loves the food they serve here. She likes to say 'happy food'. So I recommend this nursery with 5 stars.

My eldest daughter was at Mother Goose from about 2.5 years old until she left for school. We had no hesitation in sending our 2-year-old to the nursery. Both girls had and are having a fantastic time. The staff are fantastic with the girls. My youngest daughter enjoys all the activities they do and
will always tell us what she did. She loves her lunches and the staff are always happy to help. I only have positive things to say about our experience with both our daughters.

Both my sons attend Mother Goose Nursery, which they really enjoy! All the teachers have built individual relationships with both boys and we genuinely see that they care for them. Me and my wife can speak openly with the nursery about concerns and we're fully supported, often with staff going above
and beyond for us. Definitely recommend Mother Goose to any parent considering a nursery for their kids.

A well-organised team, very easy to talk to about any concerns. My child has come out of her shell since attending the nursery and comes home singing new songs they have learned. They use a very handy easy-to-use app to follow the development of your child and some. Lovely pictures of their activities.
Also unlike some other nurseries we have visited the garden is behind the nursery so a nice closed-off area out of the public eye.

If we were to do it all over again, I can't think of a better place than Mother Goose. They truly live up to their name, with every staff member embodying the same nurturing spirit. They alleviate the typical parental fears of leaving kids with strangers, offering a genuine sense of an extended family.
Their care, consideration, empathy, and dedication to the service they provide are truly remarkable.

Very well-run nursery, with excellent communication with parents regarding child's progress.
My child has been taught many things at the nursery and it always feels like they are doing something productive with the children.
The nursery is not in the best condition and could do with some updating
but the quality of the staff and their honest effort to make the nursery the best it can be is a credit to them.
Would definitely recommend it to others.

My son has been attending Mother Goose Day Nursery since January of this year and we have only good things to say about the nursery. My daughter also attended from January 2022 - August 2023 and the staff have all felt like family from the start. I feel happy to leave my children in the care of the
Mother Goose staff. The communication is great, from regular written and photo updates on the app as well as verbal communication after each session and whenever else is required. My son has required some speech and language interventions and the nursery has been such a help in facilitating that and supporting both him and us along the way. I would definitely recommend Mother Goose as a nursery setting.

Mother Goose has literally saved my son! I don't know where would be without them! They are so welcoming, caring, and compassionate. My son has big SEN needs, and they have taken him on and doing all that they can for him. Not only him but the family, too. We will forever be thankful to them. I would
never, ever recommend anywhere else. I am hoping they will take our youngest when his time comes to attend nursery! He is learning and engaging far more than I thought possible. He is visibly happy when there.

I really want my child to go to an other place where his older brother went but because of no places he ended up with Mother Goose Day Nursery. I like this nursery, good communication with parent by either email, app or face to face. My boy is happy to come here, he is learning, exploring more than
before. I am quite happy with this place as I already recommended to my friend as well.

A brilliant little nursery tucked away from the road, which has a (large) family feel to it. Children of all ages are together, so bonding across age and ability is great for those that do not have such an environment at home themselves.
Our child has enjoyed even the short time spent with the nursery,
and the management was fantastic when it came to finding suitable times and dates when planning ahead.
We will surely miss the time that our kid was able to spend with Mother Goose and can wholeheartedly recommend them1

It has been a good experience till now for my child in the nursery. He has learned a lot of new things and developed in different fields. Although he was unsettled at the beginning of his nursery days, nowadays he is well settled. Thank you for everything. I really appreciate everything done to my child
by the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Mother Goose Day Nursery 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.874 for Mother Goose Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.874

  • 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 Mother Goose Day Nursery is based on 21 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
