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 goes to this nursery and loves it so much. His development has come on leaps and bounds since attending. The staff are wonderful and nothing is ever too much trouble! My boy loves them all too. He loves going and is always excited when he arrives.

Reply from Tracey Deol, Manager at Elmdon Day Nursery

Your cheeky son demands a banana off the boss every morning. It's great to see him greeting all the children with a loud 'Hello'. Thanks for the great review.

My son goes to this nursery and he always comes back home happy. He praises the staff and has been learning etiquette very well. He has been implying the teachings and behaviour at home. It gives me happiness to see that he is learning new things and most importantly he stays happy and enjoys the time
there with other kids. The staff is always welcoming and the manager is always there to help.

Thanks for the great review. Your son has settled so well and seems to really enjoy himself.

This is my second review of Elmdon Day Nursery - my son left in 2019 to move up to infant school. My daughter has been attending since she was a year old and has just turned 3. The nursery has been absolutely amazing with both my children. My daughter enjoys every day she attends and has so missed attending
nursery - she has just started back. She was so excited when she heard she was going back - she arrived with a smile on her face and left with one. Staff are caring, attentive, supportive and encourage a great learning environment for the children through all the activities they complete with the children. Many thanks to the manager and the staff for all their hard work.

We are very happy we chose Elmdon as a nursery for Jan. He is always very happy and very tired when we pick him up. He enjoys especially, the beautiful garden they have. Although we speak two different languages at home, his English, which he uses only at the nursery, is getting better and better. Soon
he will be our personal English teacher.

Elmdon Day Nursery is fantastic. Our son has attended since age 1 and having worked with children myself for a number of years, when the owner first showed us around, I knew she had a real passion for the job. The owner and her staff are great, our child loves the nursery and our newborn will be starting
in just under a years time. There are other nurseries more local to us although I wouldn't choose anywhere over Elmdon.

Reply from Tracey Deol, Manager at Elmdon Day Nursery

Thank you, Charlie!
It was great to see your son again and look forward to looking after no. 2.

Elmdon Day Nursery has been absolutely fantastic for our daughter. She looks forward to going to nursery for the few days a week she goes. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and take the time to listen to each child who is there. They have been fantastic with understanding and being considerate
of dietary requirements as our daughter has a vegan diet. The manager is in constant contact with all parents keeping them up to date on anything that is happening at the nursery especially around COVID-19. There were helpful emails of advice and guidance for engaging with children and keeping them learning and entertained whilst isolating at home. A baby first aid course was organised for parents to attend in the evening so parents could keep up to date with first aid advice.

Reply from Tracey Deol, Manager at Elmdon Day Nursery

Thanks Chris for the fantastic comments. I will forgive your taste in music as your daughter is so sweet.

My son is due to leave this nursery the end of August to start school and I have to say all the staff are very knowledgeable and know my child, not just the girls who work in the cottage which makes it easier when picking up and dropping off that they can inform me of how his day has been. They have
shown him so much care and attention while he has been there. Everyone is wonderful with him especially his key worker who is amazing and has done loads of one on one work with him teaching him to read small words, practising fastening buttons etc.
And not forgetting a fantastic manager who keeps us all informed on what's happening and keeps the nursery running smoothly.
They are all a fantastic bunch of people who all work really well as a team to keep the nursery running especially through this difficult time of COVID.
I would highly recommend this nursery as its amazing.

My child has been attending the nursery for 12 months now. He is 3, he enjoys going so much, never had a problem dropping him off. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. There is a closed Facebook page where we get to see updates and pictures of the children enjoying playing and activities. Also
we get notifications of observations, which is great that I get informed on the activities he has taken part in. Would highly recommend.

We have been using Elmdon Day Nursery for 6 years now, my eldest started at 10-months-old and my youngest now attends the nursery. I can honestly say the nursery is fantastic, lovely caring staff and lots of fun activities to keep the little ones entertained. I feel nursery takes all the correct measures
to help protect all against COVID-19 as I feel my daughter is safe at all times. I love that observations and care diaries for the younger children are loaded on to Tapestry and the Facebook page for parents is great, especially as you can see what they are doing during the day. I would highly recommend Elmdon Day Nursery.

My two children (4 & 18 months) attend Elmdon day nursery and absolutely love their time they spend at nursery. My 4-year-old is sometimes sensitive about going into nursery but the staff handle it wonderfully and always put him at ease before he enters nursery (and by offering a sticker or biscuit
as a little treat. All the staff are professional and helpful at all times. The nursery is always clean and tidy and there are plenty of toys and activities set up for the children to play with.

My children absolutely adore Elmdon. My son left last August to start reception and still talks about his time there. My daughter still attends and she loves her time at nursery. The owner and staff are amazing with the children, they are so accommodating and treat each child as individuals. I'm so

My daughter started this nursery and she was really difficult to settle, lots of tears and resistance! The staff at Elmdon were very reassuring and would update me on how she was (always fine the second I left!) and were consistent with her until she felt comfortable. She now really enjoys her time
here and walks in without a look back. The nursery staff takes time to get to know the children and their likes/dislikes. There is lots of fun to be had here and Tapestry is used to keep you updated on your child's nursery activities.

My little girl started at Elmdon Day Nursery in July and was upset for quite a while at drop-offs having spent so much time with me during maternity leave. I was anxious about whether she would settle, but the girls assured me that she would in time. Sure enough, to our huge relief, she did. It is wonderful
to see her making friends whose names she has learnt and tells us all about at home. The staff have decided to move our daughter up to the twoonies recently, and even though she is not yet two, we fully support this decision as she seems very ready to progress to this next level. I have confidence that she will soon settle into the new environment and am excited to hear about the new activities she will be taking part in. We love all of the crafts made at nursery and brought home - they all take the pride of place on display. The daily updates on the parents' app are always very welcome too. The staff are really personable and work very hard looking after all of the children in their care.

Both my kids are very happy at Elmdon Day Nursery, only this morning both my 4-year-old and the 21-month-old happily walked in on their own – that just shows that they are looking forward to meeting their friends and taking part in all the activities going on during the day. Most days we get a drawing/painting
in their bags from that day. I really like the online platform where we get notifications of meals/activities/sleep times and can read requests too. When my kids were younger and they were clingy in the morning (can still happen occasionally) there was always someone looking out for us and the situation and they took over quickly offering a cuddle or an activity so I could rush to work. Email communication is very good too, prompt responses from the nursery, taking suggestions requests into account.

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.
