Overall my son loves coming to your nursery. The staff at reception and in his room (currently caterpillars) are always welcoming and friendly. It would be nice to see more updates and photos on the app. I'd also like his bib to be changed as he's very dribbly. He is currently transitioning rooms and
this has been managed brilliantly. He's had lots of short sessions in the new room to get him used to moving. I do feel a separate room for them to nap in would be better than in the same room with so much going on.

Reply from Chanelle Weaver, Nursery Manager at Knowle Green Day Nursey

Thank you for your kind comments - a source of pride to us all - about your child’s nursery experience and I will be looking at how colleagues are handling bib changing. With regard to the number of posts on the parent app, this follows Early Years Foundation Stage revisions which focus on reducing ‘paperwork’ to heighten the quality of the activity underway and the interaction between practitioner and child. ‘Snapshot’ observations are supplemented with ‘monthly learning story’ and ‘age and stage’ developmental assessments. This is in addition to updates at the end of sessions and regular parent newsletters detailing activities in each room and the resources and events freely available to parents through the ‘learning at home’ app.

Since my son started at knowle green 8 months ago he has come on leaps and bounds. He thoroughly enjoys going to nursery everyday and his confidence has grown so much.
He is learning new things everyday which he enjoys telling us about and the care he is given by the staff is outstanding.

Our son absolutely loves going to nursery. He looks forward to going and seeing his friends, loves the toys, equipment, activities and meals. The staff (both nursery room staff and administration) are fantastic, always on hand to help and most importantly are friendly, caring and warm. The location
is extremely convenient for us and we couldn't have had a more positive experience. We are often surprised by how much our son has developed and learnt (including developing his social skills) at nursery.

My child loves attending Knowle Green and spending time here. The team look after every need and also encourage his development. He has come on leaps and bounds in his social skills and also his language. He has a story to tell when we pick him up and has already started to make great friendships.
With
challenging or 'bad' behaviour the team work with you to try and prevent the behaviour while also helping to explain to my child the impact of the behaviour.

Our daughter has just left Knowle Green Day Nursery after two wonderful years there. Starting when she had just turned one, Knowle Green have been there for many of her milestones and supported both her and us as a family. The nursery has a wonderful sense of community, the senior leadership team have
a clear vision for the future of the provision and the staff in the rooms are without exception kind, caring and approachable. Our little one especially enjoyed her time in Bumblebees but we are so grateful to all the staff who have supported her over the past two years. We would not hesitate to recommend Knowle Green to any family looking for a nursery in the area. Many thanks to the manager and the team.

This is my second time with Knowle Green. My son went to Knowle Green at ages three and four. My daughter has now been going for four months and started when she turned one. I am very pleased with the care my children receive and the progress they have made. I have always been given honest feedback
in an empathetic way. I appreciate the flexibility to add sessions and exchange days, if available.
The teaching staff, key workers and admin staff are all accommodating and cheerful. I would recommend Knowle Green nursery to family and friends.

We are so thrilled with everything the nursery has done. Communication is always fantastic and no request is too much. The recent renovations of the rooms are stunning. The staff worked tirelessly over the weekend to prepare them. Our daughter has just moved up to a new room and it is beautifully laid
out and the provision has been thought about carefully.

Staff are very caring towards the kids and they ensure that they are learning stuff that they need to at their age. Overall, I am very happy with the nursery. Excellent staff and

The staff in bumblebees are fabulous! My son loves going to nursery every morning. He's ready for the day with such enthusiasm. He eats well and is tired when he gets home. Plays really nicely with his friends.
Education wise - He knows all the nursery rhymes, colours and numbers. We believe he is
excelling since being at Knowle Green.
If he's happy, we are happy. We also had an incident at nursery, the management were fantastic even taking him in the ambulance to hospital. Forever grateful for the care you gave him, and the support you gave us!

My daughter has been at Knowle Green since she was 18 months old and we have always been very happy with the standard of care, compassion, kindness and professionalism. As a parent, you need to know your child is safe and happy and well cared for and Knowle Green provides that on every way.
Particularly
in pre-school, our daughter's learning capabilities have been encouraged. She loves to learn and is supported every step of the way. She adores her key workers (who have changed occasionally due to the needs and capabilities of the team) and always are people that can and do have a great rapport with our girl.
Thank you to all the staff for helping to give my daughter a great start to her early years development.

Really happy we chose to send our child to Knowle Green Day Nursery! The staff are super friendly, the nursery is lovely and filled with lots of indoor and outdoor activities to fulfil the little ones days! Our daughter enjoys her time there very much and has developed immensely since she has been attending
the nursery! We especially enjoy the updates on the app to see her progress and to be able to see pictures of how she spent her day makes us feel happy and relaxed! We would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents!

My two year old has been coming to the nursery (Knowle Green) for over a year now. They have transitioned across multiple rooms and we have had the opportunity to meet many members of the team. My child has always been incredibly happy at the nursery and loves coming in every day. They are very comfortable
with the staff and interact with everyone and are very at ease. I feel very comfortable that they are well cared for and have 100% trust in the staff.
As a family, we love everything about the nursery, the team, the level of service, the space provided for the children (the outside space is the biggest I have seen for a nursery), the variety of meals provided. Thrilled we chose this nursery as couldn't be happier.

My one year old son recently started at Knowle Green Day Nursery (Staines) and I couldn’t be happier with our choice! Due to Covid-19 my son hadn’t been left alone for a period of time without me and I was so nervous about him starting nursery due to this. The staff were so reassuring and upbeat in
regards to this. The nursery staff also take a real interest in my son’s development and encourage him to play his favourite activities and games, which is all logged via an app. Their description of activities and monitoring of my child’s development is heartwarming and so lovely to read, it really does show their interest in each child. The app also keeps me regularly updated on my son’s day from what he has eaten to his nappy changes. My son also eats a good variety of healthy meals whilst there. I genuinely do recommend sending your child to this nursery. I’m so pleased I did.

We have two girls at the nursery and a son who left last year. The staff are like our extended family, going above and beyond to help us out with both me and my wife full time working. The children bounce in and love it, everything about the set up from the space, the food, staff and especially the
way they've handled the last 6-months of covid is exceptional, so thank you!

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.
