A wonderful Nursery.
My son is so happy and has so much fun.
Staff are great and always give me time at drop off and pick up, to check in or tell me about his day.


The activities and extras things they do for the children is fantastic and so good to build confidence.

We moved house and my daughter moved to strode college day nursery a few weeks later, they were so welcoming.
March was her first full month at the nursery and her confidence has grown so much, she loves going there and has really overcome the move so well.
She comes home always talking about her
day and who made her day a good day.

Staff work extremely hard as a team and all know my child so well. They are knowledgeable, experienced and offer lots of variety in terms of activities and snacks so my child has lots of opportunities to try new things, including swimming, picnics and trips.


I am really impressed with how the team

work together and offer a space that's versatile enough to allow for child led planning/activities and also incorporates routine (e.g. tooth brushing). The mud kitchen and new Wendy house are also lovely additions!


My little one has thrived over the last 2 years and has been supported to grow in confidence - developing numeracy, literacy, emotional and social skills that have prepared her for starting school next year.

Absolutely wonderful nursery, our son has gone from strength to strength thanks to the amazing experiences available and fantastic key workers at Strode. We have felt supported and understood through every step of our son's pre-school journey and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Strode to anyone in and
around the local area.

Our son has been attending Strode Nursery since September and he absolutely loves the time he spends there. The staff are brilliant - so engaging, caring and empathetic, and there's always varied activities on offer throughout the day. The setting is cosy and homely, and there's plenty of outdoor toys
to engage with outside. I'd 100% recommend this nursery!

I feel very secure and at ease leaving him there knowing that he will be well looked after and have a brilliant time. He is always excited to go and happy! They are great with organising
extra activities for the children.

My daughter absolutely loves preschool. There are so many different activities that she is excited to go to preschool for. It is lovely seeing all of the photos on the app as it is clear that she has a ball. She has really developed socially since going to Strode and we are really thankful for their
ongoing support.

Our daughter has attended Strode College Day Nursery for around a year and a half now and we couldn't be happier. She is always happy to go and talks fondly of all the staff. We love how they are led by the children's interests and the wide range of activities they do. It's great seeing what they get
up to on social media and the app. It's a small nursery, enabling each child to get to know everyone and feels very personal and homely.

From the first moment of visiting Strode College Day Nursery, we knew it was a place full of love and warmth with a homely feel. They are always up to so many different activities from regular swimming lessons to litter picking and then seasonal days out too. Our daughter has a fantastic time during
her four days a week here, we are very grateful she is well looked after and she comes home with lots of happy stories to tell.

The team always take extra time to explain what your little one has been up to during the day.

I moved my daughter to the nursery when she was two in 2023, I was quite anxious about how she would transition to a new environment after being in another nursery but the staff were instrumental in her settling so quickly. My daughter is thriving at the nursery, staff go above and beyond and are truly
child-led. She has experienced so many opportunties to extend her learning and develoment and I am so impressed with the educational provision at the nursery. The small setting means my daughter is receiving so much individualised support and care and I feel confident that all the staff know my child and how to meet her needs. The atmosphere in the nursery is friendly and inclusive, the staff foster a culture of kindness. The staff also plan lots of opportunties that challange my child and encourage her independence including getting the bus, rugby and swimming but within a supportive and safe environment. My daughter loves going to Strode Nursery, she is happy and safe.

My daughter was born in India and after we relocated to England. When she was two years we took her to one of the ones that were open, but she showed no interest in going there at all. Furthermore, we weren't happy with the lessons or activities. Then we discovered Strode Nursery. Thus, she began the
nursery and she adored the place so much that I'm not sure what magic happened. I cannot express how much I appreciate the staff's care and instruction. Since she does not speak English, I am aware that it was challenging for the teachers. They therefore trained her in sign language and even used books in our mother tongue. She is now speaking in simple sentences and has learned a lot of English vocabulary. In addition, she started requesting that I go to the nursery every day as she can't wait to go to nursery. The Strode crew is outstanding, and I have told many of our friends who have relocated to England from India about Strode Nursery. Fantastic job, Strode team.

Our son has recently started attending this nursery, having been booked in since he was around 7 months old! I visited many local nurseries and loved Strode and knew it was the nursery for our son. The staff are all lovely and I love the setting’s ethos and child-led approach. I also love the fact that
it’s a small setting as this really suits our son. All of the staff have been very supportive in settling our son into nursery and also very accommodating in terms of supporting us with his start and sharing information. Thank you to all of the team - we look forward to the rest of our family’s journey with you over the next couple of years!

My son started here in September 2023 and to begin with he was quite anxious about attending nursery but he has really settled and grown in confidence, all thanks to the lovely team who work there. The setting is smaller than most local nurseries so you feel like your child really gets focused attention
from the team and the care seems very pastoral. I can tell from the interactions I've seen of my son with the team that he is well-bonded with them and feels comfortable and safe, which has really boosted my confidence about him being there as well. The setting provides child-led play and I feel this has really helped him develop his imagination and speech over the last few months. He always comes home animated from his day and tells me he had lots of fun. The team provide you with a breakdown of how the day went when you collect your kid which is great, the whole team all seem very caring and kind, just the sort of people you would want to be looking after your children.

My daughter goes to this nursery and she loves going. She comes home every day happy. The staff are amazing with the children and use the children’s interests to learn rather than making decisions for them. They also have so many extra activities, my daughter loves going swimming. I highly recommend
this nursery.

Thankyou for the review. The swimming is a firm favourite with all the children who attend!

The communication we receive as parents is brilliant and they continue to support and encourage my daughter in her learning and social skills. I cannot recommend them

My son loves his time at nursery.
He enjoys the variety of activities he is able to take part in during the day.
He especially enjoys the outdoor space, mud kitchen and regular trips on the bus to forest school in finer weather.
There is a lot of thought that goes into the children’s day, with
trips to the park, walks around the college campus interacting with pupils, swimming, PE and rugby tots to name just a few.
But the most important thing is the amount of love and care that my son receives from all of the staff, they are so attentive and nurturing. I leave him knowing he is happy.

The best nursery I could possibly ever think about sending my daughter to. She has been to other nurseries and just didn’t settle however she settled immediately at Strode. You’re constantly kept up to date on what the children are doing day to day and the fun things they get up to. My daughter can’t
stop talking about her day once she’s got home. Strode offers a wide variety of opportunities for the children to attend places like forest school and other activities which I think is amazing. All the staff are absolutely lovely and brilliant at what they do. My son is already booked to attend Strode when he turns 2 as I wouldn’t want him to go anywhere else. Highly highly recommended.

My boy attends three days a week. I couldn't be happier with how he has settled in. He gets excited to go and asks when is it a nursery day! He happily talks about his time at nursery and tells me about his day on returning home.
A small setting allows the bonds between staff, children and their families
and this helps children to settle into nursery. My boy has definitely come out of his shell since attending and his confidence is growing.
Staff are always happy to answer any questions that you might have. Wouldn't want my boy to go anywhere else now.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.966)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for Strode College Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.966 for Strode College Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.966

  • 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 Strode College Day Nursery is based on 20 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 16 number of registered child places is 3.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
