Both my children have been at the nursery over the last four years. Going to work is so much easier knowing that they are safe, happy and loved by the staff.


They both learnt a great deal, particularly in preschool and have/will start school well equipped.


Thank you to all the staff and management

team for our excellent nursery experience!

The nursery organised a trip to a pantomime for my son's class. He was very excited to tell us all about the princess and the witch. Also how they had to hold hands to get on the train. I was very pleased the nursery had gone to such effort to organise a fun day trip. A lovely memory for their last
Christmas at their nursery.

My son has been at Knowle Green since he was 11 months old and I have seen him grow and develop at every room move. He enjoys his time at nursery, which is what you want to see. The staff are great, always receptive to feedback and open and honest.

I continue to be very pleased with the support my two children are receiving from the nursery and particularly the help of their keyworkers in assisting them to settle in after we spent time living abroad. I am also really pleased with the development they have shown already after just being back for
a month. Thank you!

Knowle Green nursery is wonderful, set in scenic environment, with enthusiastic, passionate staff. I am impressed with the level of service and care provided to my daughter who started at 14 months. She has now settled well into the Ladybird class. As a part-time working mother, the transition to the
life of nursery has been eased by the professional manner conducted by all at Knowle Green Nursery.

My son is being cared for in the nursery very well. He has been happy from the start. We started nursery when he was seven months and I must say that the staff are very friendly, caring and have always made sure they tell us what happened during the day (no matter how many times you call them when you
are worried). I strongly recommend Knowle Green to any parent. Also, they have many activities that encourage them to explore the world around them.

I've used this nursery for the last six years for my three children. The kids have loved every minute of their time here, and I think that reflects on the staff who are excellent and happy to go the extra mile for the kids. The management team also deserve praise for their leadership of the nursery,
and their desire to see that each child achieves its potential.

My son has settled into the nursery very well, the practitioners have been helpful with this process. He has become more vocal since starting nursery and gets so much enjoyment from the activities and stimulation throughout the day.

The staff at Knowle Green Day Nursery (Staines) have been amazing with my son settling in. They have contacted me a few times throughout the day to reassure me that he was fine. I have found ever since my son started nursery he has become more social with other children and adults and his speech has
progressed and has become more confident.

We've sent both of our girls to Knowle Green and can honestly say we have loved the experience. The girls have attended every room from Caterpillars all the way up to Pre-School and each key worker has looked after the girls as their own.


The care Knowle Green takes to develop the children truly

stands out and each room has been designed carefully to engage and grow the children appropriately.


The girls also loved the school trips and always talk fondly of their adventures on the train to the theatre or green grocers! Thank you Knowle Green team - we won't hesitate to recommend you!

This is my daughter's last nursery experience and she has settled very well and is now very ready for school life. She has learnt many new skills in Math and can now write her name. Her interest in writing has greatly improved.

Knowle Green Childbase Nursery has been fantastic for our daughter. We are in our 4th room and the support and development have been excellent. The facilities are very good and the new and improved garden is lovely. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

So far I have been so impressed with the care my daughter has received. Everytime I leave the nursery I feel 100% comfortable that she ie looked after and safe. She loves her key worker and it makes me happy knowing she has someone there who she feels comfortable with. All the nursery workers/nurses
seem gentle and happy toward the children.

MY daughter started at the nursery a few months ago and loves it. From the girls in the rooms to the management and even the cooks, everyone is friendly, helpful and makes you feel welcome. The confidence my daughter has gained is incredible in such a short space of time, she is learning new things
daily.
I put 100% trust in leaving my daughter at Knowle Green, as I know she is in safe hands. It makes the drive from London to Staines worth it.
The only negative I can think of is, when my daughter does baking, I would quite like her to make me something too.
I couldn't recommend it enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.835 for Knowle Green Day Nursey is calculated as follows: ( (394 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 467 Ratings = 4.835

  • 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 39 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 39 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.
