Elmdon Day Nursery is a privately owned nursery established in 2004. The nursery is single storey and all the rooms have safety gates, not doors, which gives the nursery an open friendly atmosphere.
There is a small car park at the front.

The nursery caters for all children from birth to five years, with each age group having its own dedicated staff and rooms. Each area is colourful and bright with children's work on display, artistic wall/window murals and plentiful toys and resources. It also has a large, private outdoor area which has a sensory room, mud kitchen, giant sandpit plus lots of space for ride on toys, climbing frames and balancing beams.

The staff plan weekly themes, fun days and charity events to ensure all children have a stimulating and safe environment in which to learn and develop. To compliment this, it has professionals who give music and dance sessions four times a week, which parents can opt their children into. Leapfrog sports and football sessions are also provided.

The setting is part of the Startwell Healthy Lifestyle programme and children have a healthy diet and lots of daily exercise. The nursery can cater for different diets.

To keep parents informed, there is a closed Facebook Group, email system plus newsletters and an annual parents evening. More information can be found on their website.

It offers two, three- and four-year-old funding subject to availability and accepts nursery vouchers and registered for the Gov.t tax free childcare scheme. The nursery was rated 'Good' in all areas during the latest Ofsted inspection (April 2018).

My son has been going to the nursery since he was 9 months old. He is due to leave for school in September and there hasn't been 1 day where he has not wanted to go in. The staff will always go above and beyond, if I have any questions they will always try to answer them. My son has learnt so much and
so have I (being a first-time parent) they have even done 'preparation' packs for school in September which is really helping my son. They will always let me know all the details no matter how small about my son's day. Both myself and my son will be sad to see him leave Nursery away from all the staff he has formed really good bonds with.

Reply from Tracey Deol, Manager at Elmdon Day Nursery

Thank you. How has that time gone so fast? Your son is such a character and it's so great to see his development. Glad you like the `preparation pack` the Preschool staff have done.

My son has attended the nursery since September and he absolutely loves it and comes on leaps and bounds. For a child who never liked to leave my or his dad's side he skips up the drive, excitingly rings the bell and hurries inside without even giving us a goodbye. The staff are amazing and always have
lovely things for the children to do. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Thank you for your great review. Your son has really blossomed and gets stuck in with everything.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for over 2 years now and loves going. She has come on leaps and bounds since attending and her confidence is growing daily. My eldest daughter also attended this nursery for nearly 4 years and loved it too. The nursery helped us prepare my eldest for school
too which was a massive help as it gave her so much more confidence going to school. All the staff are so lovely and friendly and never hesitate to answer any questions. They're a wonderful hands-on team and I can highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

We moved to Elmodon Nursery recently and this was the best decision we took. We truly wish we had known about this nursery earlier before trying anything else. My daughter hated her previous nursery and it was such a pain for us as parents to see her so scared and unhappy but in a matter of days with
Elmdon Nursery she was a different toddler! What a wonderful patient caring staff I as a mother very thankful to all of them for making this experience nothing but a comfortable and happy one for myself and my daughter. I wish them all the best and I will certainly always recommend Elmdon Nursery.
Thank you.

Fantastic nursery! My little girl has been attending since 2021 and I’m so pleased I went with this nursery. The staff are all lovely and really take the time to listen to any requests you may have. My little girl is looked after very well and that’s all we can ask for as parents. A very diverse nursery
with a great approach to learning.

The manager was more concerned about my fees (my daughter had only attended 2 sessions consisting of 2 hours each) than the fact my daughter was extremely ill. Didn’t once message for an update on her health but instead sent me a very rude text about wasting time and needing to pay my fees.

Reply from Tracey Deol, Manager at Elmdon Day Nursery

I appreciate that to have brilliant reviews I have to acknowledge that there may be occasions when we don't get it right. However, this review is totally unfair. The parent asked for a place, I sent all the info via email and text...no response so sent more emails. The parent did eventually respond and promised payment of fees on several occasions. The child started but the parent kept forgetting her registration document which should have triggered alarm bells. The child then missed a session so I contacted the parent who responded they were celebrating a festival. The child then got poorly but I offered to start the fee period from when she returned after her illness which I feel was a very kind gesture. I also offered various payment options to help her. The parent did not respond to the last text so terminated the place and did not charge any fees. Her last email to me was to apologise and to thank me for being so kind and helpful.

I would just like to say how glad I am that I sent my daughter here from as little as 7 months old. She’s come on leaps and bounds and gets on with everyone who works there. We will really miss coming here next year when my child starts reception. They have a great day-to-day routine and always lots
of extras that the children get involved in. Nothing is too much for these girls that work here. They're all amazing and the only downfall here is that the kiddies have to leave, they need to make this into an infant school also. The manager is great and always communicates anything that’s needed. My child has grown up with the same friends through the groups and Elmdon Day Nursery and she’s a happy girl who loves to be creative and especially on dress-up days. We will truly miss this nursery when we leave next year! Massive thanks to all the staff each and every one of you for the amazing 3 years you have given my child so far. Your all diamonds.

My twin boys have been going to the nursery since they were 8 months old. The staff are absolutely amazing, very prompt in replying to emails and any questions. The details of activities that the boys do throughout a particular day, the food they eat and everything else is so well documented. Both
our boys suffer from eczema; the staff do everything they can to help them. We feel very secure when they are in the nursery and we can't thank everyone enough for creating such a safe and stimulating environment for the boys.

As a first-time parent I was naturally very apprehensive about choosing a nursery for my son. Elmdon Day Nursery was the first and only nursery I ended up looking at; I just had such a great first impression I didn’t feel the need to look anywhere else. The nursery is so well equipped with wonderfully
diverse resources, an offering I simply couldn’t match at home- I only wish I was in a position to send my son more as he absolutely loves going and gets so excited when we pull up outside! He comes home exhausted but in the best way as I know he’s had so much fun - an insight made possible with the daily updates on the Facebook group. All members of staff are very warm and highly engaging, and the manager is always very responsive to any queries I’ve had. It is clear all are very passionate about their jobs and this is reflected in the genuine connections they have built with the children in their care. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this nursery to anyone and everyone!

My children love the nursery, they've been there a few months and settled in really quickly. The main reason I chose the nursery is the staff were so friendly and now I can say I am so glad I picked Elmdon because my kids come home happy every day, they love the staff and it's clear they're very well-looked
after. The facilities are great, and they love the little garden. They seem to enjoy the food and we get pics and updates every day, showing what they've been up to. Can't fault it.

Highly recommend! I’d already had such a positive experience from sending my four-year-old here that I knew my youngest would not be going anywhere else. My youngest has been going since January and the staff are nothing but amazing. He goes in smiling and without hesitation. Any mom worries are automatically
squashed due to how friendly and welcoming all the girls are. I get daily pictures and updates of what activities have been completed to what he has eaten. 100% recommended!

I can’t speak any more highly of the staff here. To say they go above and beyond is an understatement. I feel so lucky that my children get to be in such wonderful company all whilst in the best learning environment. My daughter has been going here for almost 2 years, honestly in the beginning she had
such bad separation anxiety I just thought she would never settle into nursery. After about 2 weeks, she was running in and waving goodbye to me. This was all down to the ladies working with us not just telling us how they are at nursery but also giving us help with things that we can do at home. We now live 50 minutes away and I will not change the nursery. I truly believe there isn’t a better nursery for my children. Every time I drop them off I feel so content, the staff are so friendly and it honestly feels like we are leaving them with family members for the day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Elmdon 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.893 for Elmdon Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (467 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 495 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 Elmdon Day Nursery is based on 41 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 41 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.
