My daughter has been at the nursery since she turned one, she’s now coming up to four and the nursery has given her the best start and preparation for school this year. I love how she’s always done a different activity that’s educational in a fun way, and her bag is always full of drawings and crafts.
She loves the outdoor activities and I love knowing she’s always kept busy! I’ve always felt she’s safe and cared for by a fab team who she’s forever chatting and telling me stories about. We’ll really miss you all in September and we’ll always recommend the nursery.

Thank you, Rachel, your daughter is a treasure who we have loved seeing grow and develop. She will be missed.

My son has been going to Elmdon Day Nursery since he was 8 months old, he's now 2 and his development has come on leaps and bounds, especially in his speech. The nursery setting is lovely with lots of planned activities aimed at each learning stage and the outdoor area is an added bonus! I particularly
love the closed Facebook group which shows what he's doing during the day and I love all the crafts and pictures he brings home. I know when I walk away, I have peace of mind that he's well looked after.

Cannot rate this nursery enough. Very happy I changed nurseries to Elmdon Day Nursery. My little boy's learning has come on leaps and bounds and is always happy when he comes out, he has made friends and is very fond of the staff there, in which he has built lovely relationships. They are extremely
organised and am so impressed with how they keep the parents fully updated with useful information and key learning for each child. Can’t thank them all enough, they all do a fantastic job!

What I would do without you guys!? This nursery is so good for my daughter she loves going there. She settled in a week and goes there with a smile on her face. Elmdon Nursery serve healthy food and my daughter likes it all. If anything happens (like my baby didn't feel well) they call me straight away
so I know what's going on. They always give a lot of hugs and I know they really care for all these babies. They have a great garden which I am sure all children adore to be in. I definitely will send another baby there if I had one more. Thanks to the Owner/Manager for having my daughter! And all your support always.

My daughters have been going to this nursery for over 2 years and it has been brilliant for her confidence and development, it’s not just a standard nursery where she’s just playing all day, the nursery are really helping her educationally and currently helping us with potty training!

Lovely nursery with what seems to be a really good staff retention. Still have the same staff as when my now 7 year old went. All polite and informative. Extra lessons are also available to give the children something else to do, ie music where someone comes in and the children play with instruments.
The Owner/Manager is really accommodating and always tries her best to help.

Thank you, Sarah, we always know when your daughter is around as there will be a random shoe on the floor. She is becoming a little chatterbox which is great.

My son has been going to Elmdon since he was 8 months old and he’s now over 3 and in their pre-school area. I have always had a great experience with Elmdon Nursery, the staff are amazing and the learning and teaching for the children is really good. The outdoor space is great for the children to play
in. The Owner/Manager is always flexible and approachable. I have recommended this nursery to friends and will continue to. My little girl will also start there soon!

My daughter started at Elmdon in September ‘21 in preparation for her starting primary school this year. She has loved going and adores the staff. Each day she learns new skills and develops her core knowledge she’ll need for school in a fun and engaging way! Daily activities are well varied with sports
and exercise opportunities organised weekly for the children. The facilities are very good with children being grouped appropriately by age. My daughter eats all her meals at nursery and enjoys the variety of food provided. I am thoroughly grateful that the staff have got to know my daughter and take such good care of her. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I love that I get regular updates and pictures to see what he’s been up to during the day, along with lots of paintings and other creations being sent home with
him on a regular basis. Would highly recommend this nursery!

My little one started here before he turned 2 (now 3) and has learned so much here since. He absolutely loves all the staff that have taken care of him and who have also made transitioning from different age groups very smooth for us. He is always coming in excited in the morning and leaving happy every
afternoon. The children get up to so many activities, even messy stuff that he would not be able to do at home which he really enjoys. All the staff including the Owner/Manager are extremely helpful and approachable, always happy to help and give constructive feedback on his development.

Excellent nursery. Both of my children have attended, they are safe, well looked after, and taught new things daily. There is no other nursery I would trust like this one to look after my children. Both have learned such a massive amount in their time there and have been set up brilliantly for school.
Lots of outdoor learning and discovering too!

My 11-month-old has recently followed in her sister's footsteps by attending this nursery and she absolutely loves it. To the point where she cries when daddy picks her up! The girls are very attentive towards her and update us regularly throughout the day with photos on the Facebook group to show us
how much fun they are all having. Could not ask for a more loving group of girls and lovely set of babies for my daughter to play with.

I have two children currently attending the nursery. My eldest absolutely loves the daily activities - drawing, painting, stories, and outdoor play. He loves coming home and telling me all about what he did that day and all the different foods that he has eaten. My youngest only started last month and
has really settled in and we can see such a difference in his development already. We enjoy the daily updates/pictures of what both have been doing and the ladies are always happy to give you a run-down of how their day has been. Both boys love attending and we are extremely happy with the care they receive at Elmdon Nursery.

Thank you, Amy and it is great to see both their smiling faces now in the morning. Your youngest happily crawled over my feet this morning on his way to get a toy.

My son has been going here since July 2021, after going to 2 other nurseries in the area and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. His language skills have improved, he made friends and gained confidence. Staff have been supportive, provided valuable feedback, and helped a lot with potty training.
They have lots of activities, every week is themed, they focus on reading books. The facilities are amazing, better than any other nursery we’ve visited. There are separate cottages for separate age groups and they are very well equipped.

My daughter started with the nursery in January 2022 and I am very happy with the care provided. I can tell by the pictures posted on their Facebook group that she has a great time and is very comfortable with the staff and other kids. There are no more tears at the door now and she will wave me off
as I leave. It is great to have an information leaflet at the end of the day to know what she has eaten and been up to, and great to know they are very quick with replying over email if you need anything. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

My son is currently in preschool and has been here since a baby the same as his older sister. An amazing nursery where the staff are invested in all the children. The garden space is brilliant and offers a range of activities throughout the week. The owner is very attentive and nothing is too much hassle
for her. If you ever have a query the staff are at hand for any questions and support. They have a closed Facebook group where they post regularly throughout the day so you can see what your child is up to. I'll be sad when my child leaves for reception, they have been a big part of our lives. Can't recommend enough!

My daughter attended this nursery and I did not realise the positive impact they made at the time because she's naturally very active and social. However, my son is the opposite as he's very reserved and hardly speaks. Since he started at Elmdon last year, there has been a significant improvement in
his development which left us wishing he had started even earlier. He'll be 3 soon and with significant help from staff, he's already potty trained and speaks so much more. Couldn't recommend Elmdon highly enough! The staff understands that each child is different and treat them that way, each child is given the level of attention and support they require. He is much happier going to nursery these days. Thank you all!

My son has recently started here and he loves it. I’ve really noticed a real change in him. He is so confident and chatty. The nursery has a healthy menu every week which includes all the needs of my child. The staff are friendly and always willing to discuss the activities that my son has completed
during the day. They are a credit to the nursery. The manager is particularly involved and on hand via email with all my questions. The additional closed Facebook page is great for looking at the day my son has had. They use the tapestry system and again are updated daily with his care plan (nappies, sleep and meals). I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since 14 months old. She can’t wait to get in and doesn’t want to come out when I pick her up! She loves all of the girls and we get daily records and regular photos of what she has been up to as well as learning observations too. There are always lots of
activities, which vary greatly. My daughter always comes home singing nursery rhymes. She has come on so much since starting at Elmdon. She eats a wide variety of meals and snacks during her days at Elmdon and it has hugely helped with developing her eating manners and willingness to try new foods. I had huge anxiety about leaving my baby with strangers and viewed several nurseries. Elmdon was the only one where I felt 100% at ease and had no concerns. I have complete peace of mind that my little one is safe and cared for. The team are all really friendly and the owner is always on hand and helpful.

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.
