We have 2 children. This is our fourth nursery since having our first child. It is by far the best we have experienced. There is not one negative thing I could say about this place. It is outstanding!

Everyone at Knowle Green has been fantastic at helping settle our little ones in. I was very nervous about them starting but everyone was really kind and very thoughtful at making sure they both felt at home. They both love it, and its made going back to work so much easier as I know they're happy and
very at home here! Thank you so much.

We have been blown away by our fantastic experience at Knowle Green. The staff are so lovely and supportive and they have supported our daughter and she has settled into nursery. They do fantastic activities and they get wonderful care. We could not recommend more.

Our youngest son attends the nursery and has been doing extremely well. The staff are all kind, and attentive and make all of us feel welcome. Our son has gained confidence in speaking, can walk, and has developed his interpersonal skills really well. We are delighted.

We are extremely happy with all the staff and the nursery. Our daughter has settled in well and enjoys coming to nursery. We really like to received photos and updates as it reassures us when she is not with us. She has even learnt to say some staff members names.

We were all quite apprehensive about my foster child joining nursery but we couldn't have possibly chosen a better nursery. She has settled down so well considering her past trauma and the staff have all been absolutely fabulous. Her key worker has been tracking and developing her progress, along with
the other young ladies and I'm so impressed with how everyone has taken the greatest of care to this little angel. Thank you so much everyone.

I have recently registered my daughter after moving to Staines.
I was so pleasantly surprised at how amazing the nursery is! The staff are so great with the children, they helped my daughter settle in so easily, she feels very happy there and very comfortable with all her teachers.
The manager and
a particular staff member are so accommodating and super kind and helpful. They do many events for charity which is lovely. I cannot recommend it enough.

After six years at Knowle Green, and over two children, we have just had our last day.
We chose this nursery mainly down to convenience, but I can honestly say, this was the best decision.
We have been very lucky to be a part of this wonderfully caring family. Both my children have loved going and
have learnt so much in their time at nursery.
They have both made wonderful friendships, and we will all miss going to nursery.

Both my son and my daughter went to Knowle Green Day Nursery since they were very young (1yo and 9mo). I immediately saw the difference in them, in both skills learned (eating by themselves very quickly with a fork and spoon), the ability to make friends quickly and learning the basics to prepare them
for school. My son's entire Preschool class is now in his school class, the friendships started so early and are still going strong! My daughter was very shy and had difficulty making friends, that all changed thanks to the amazing staff at the nursery who encouraged her and gave her wings to discover herself. I couldn't be happier with this nursery, each room the kids have been in has developed them in some way, learning and growing as they moved through to Preschool. Now they're both in school or starting school and they have all the tools they need to succeed! I cannot recommend them enough!

Knowle Green Nursery is absolutely fantastic and made so by an incredible team. Our daughter is excited every morning we take her there, she loves all the staff who work with her and has benefitted both socially and developmentally from having attended since eight months old. The whole team in Ladybirds
are amazing, specifically, certain members of staff, who all put in loads of effort and time with her, which she really responds to. The team always answer questions we have immediately and is accommodating to any requests about her naps or eating. We can't thank them enough for the massive impact they have on our lives as working parents, and most importantly, our daughters!

It's the best nursery in the area.
The onboarding process for new children and parents is great.
It's expensive, but then again, so are all nurseries, so you might as well pay a bit extra and get the best possible place for your child.

Having sent two of my children here I would thoroughly recommend it to other parents. The long opening hours mean there is greater flexibility for drop-off times which is invaluable for days when parents have to commute into London. The staff are always friendly, approachable and willing to answer any
questions and you can tell they genuinely care about the children. They provide a good variety of food and can easily cater for dietary requirements and my children would often finish all or ask for seconds on meals provided - something which isn't a common occurrence at home! Whilst the app isn't perfect and could do with some improvement it provides a good update of what the children are working on, occasional pictures and comments on what they're doing during the day which provides good assurance to parents. There is a good, engaging indoor and outdoor space for children to explore. Thank you Knowle Green for providing an excellent standard of care to my children.

My child progressed so much within the preschool 2 room, especially in his speech and language and also how to express his feelings and emotions in a positive way. This is greatly helped by the staff in particular his key persons.
He absolutely loves coming to nursery and always has since 9 months
old.

My son left Knowle Green in December 2023 due to his siblings being born and returned in March.
Bumblebees have been amazing and supported him with his language and helping him settle into being a big brother.
He has become more independent with changing his clothes and leaps and bounds with eating
as he was very fussy.

We have had a great experience with Knowle Green since our son started and highly recommend it to anyone in the process of looking at nurseries.
We knew it was the right one when looking in the local area. It's a homely feeling as soon as you enter the building. Always welcomed by friendly faces. The
early start/late pickup times are very convenient.
Our son has developed a close bond with his key worker. All the staff are very encouraging, caring and compassionate and have created a nurturing environment.
We receive regular updates via the app, along with photos/learning logs.
I have been particularly impressed with how the nursery supports children with any additional needs. His key worker/managers actively listened to concerns and have gone above and beyond to offer appropriate support/reviews.
Thank you to all at Knowle Green for fostering growth and development.
We look forward to seeing all the lovely things that he will continue to learn and do here in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.768)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.768) out of 10 for Knowle Green Day Nursey is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.768 for Knowle Green Day Nursey is calculated as follows: ( (405 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 504 Ratings = 4.768

  • 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 Knowle Green Day Nursey is based on 42 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 133 number of registered child places is 26.6, which has been reached with 42 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.
