Thank you to the amazing team at St George's Nursery! My niece loves attending nursery and always comes home with a smile, telling us about her day, the staff there and the activities she has done. The food always sounds delicious and nutritious.
We are so proud of how much she has developed since
attending St George's Nursery.

Our daughter has been attending St George's Nursery for a year now, and we definitely made the best decision. She started when she was ten months old in the bunnies. The nursery staff have always been amazing; they care about my daughter's development and well-being. We always receive an update every
day on the app and a very detailed handover when picking her up. My daughter now attends three days a week, and the changes in her are big! She's happy, she eats well, and her development has come on really fast. All the nursery staff are very approachable, happy and smiley.

Our daughter is 10-months-old and is absolutely loving nursery. They try so hard to stick to her routine, and she has such a great bond with her key worker. I’m so glad we chose to send her to St George’s; it has made starting back at work so much less stressful. Thank you all!

My son attends St George’s in Aylestone, and I wouldn’t want him anywhere else. It’s the same nursery I went to as a child, and the staff have always been so friendly and loving to not only my son but to myself as well. My son always has the best times doing all sorts of crafty activities and has made
some really lovely friends as well. Super, super nursery.

My 2-year-old started in January, and from day one, he is absolutely into it. He wakes up easily at 7-am to get ready for it and can't wait at the nursery door to get in. Has his favourite members of staff, and I'm happy to see him happy. Also, the app is great to see how he is doing and everything
else. Communication has been great. Although my little one doesn't speak, I see him happy, and that's the most important thing for me. Great place to send your little one. I'm very happy that I chose this nursery, and I have been given this opportunity to send him into the nursery at the age of two.

My little girl has just started and loves going. I get updated on the app of what she has been up to, and she seems to really be enjoying it, especially the outdoor area. She has brought home paintings and is always happily telling me all the things she has done.

After viewing the nursery and hearing positive reviews through word of mouth, my child started in November 2021. He has settled in so well and is extremely happy when at nursery. The nursery has communicated well with me and always been there to reassure me with any anxiety I have with this being my
first child and first time at nursery. I would definitely recommend. The staff are friendly, helpful and interact so well with my son, which is a great reassurance for me.

Good supportive staff, very safe environment my daughter has learnt so much since starting here highly recommended. Only thing I think needs to be more regular is the cleaning. But overall the staff are lovely, the facilities are good and it's very clear the children are learning and are in a very safe
environment.

All the staff are lovely, kind and always happy to help. My child settled in very quickly and loves going to nursery. They do yoga, which he very much enjoys and always comes home and shows us what yoga positions he's been doing. We have never had any issues, and if there was, I feel very confident
that they will get dealt with. Overall, a very good nursery I extremely recommended and will definitely be enrolling any future children there.

We had been apprehensive about our daughter starting nursery, but she loves it here. She has been attending for over a year, in which she has massively grown in confidence and independence.


There are lots of activities; the children are always engaged and entertained. The carers genuinely like the

job, and the kids and caring for them. Dead impressed.

This is the best place I found for my daughter. We have viewed over six different in town and around. I even made the decision to keep her until Year1 and not to send to the reception. Our youngest will also start this nursery soon.
First impression - amazing staff members, well organised for shoes
and jackets, clean, spacious, colourful, open space.
I can tell that our daughter is happy to attend, feels safe and entertained. Whenever she gets upset, teachers look after her and sing with her because then she feels happy again.
I have advised this place to all my friends that have children.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Having recently moved to the area, I was very apprehensive about putting my youngest in the nursery. My older three children attended a nursery owned by my father, so I always knew that my children would be well taken care of. This was the first time I was trusting strangers to care for one of my children.
I have nothing but praise for St Georges and all the staff who work there. Communication has been amazing! My daughter loves going to the nursery, which is very reassuring. We are currently in the throes of potty training, and the nursery has been incredibly supportive, which is greatly appreciated.
As a student nurse, it is so nice having one less thing to worry about during the current climate. My daughter is in a safe, supportive environment and is flourishing. If you are looking for a nursery that encourages your child to grow in a safe space, who nurtures and supports your child, then St Georges Day Nursery is the nursery you are looking for.

She always has a great day doing different activities too. Staff are friendly and helpful. I feel confident leaving my daughter at nursery

Fantastic nursery with amazing staff. My daughter loves to go there every day, and she comes home happy. She learned so much since she started. They keep you updated every day about your child. During the covid, they have been very professional with drop-offs and pick-ups. Thank you for all the members

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.582)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.582) out of 10 for St George's Nursery (Aylestone) 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.784 for St George's Nursery (Aylestone) is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.784

  • 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 4.798 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St George's Nursery (Aylestone) is based on 15 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.798

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Business Manager

Joined: 2024

Working with children is all I have ever known and done since leaving school at 16. I love to see the children progress throughout their time at nursery, and experience all of the milestones with them and their families.


I started working in childcare in 2012 and have worked my way up from an apprentice role, which has allowed me to experience.


I chose St. George’s because I feel like my passion and beliefs align with what theirs, and I always know that if I would be happy to leave my child in the setting I am at that I am working in the right place and that’s the way I feel about St. George’s.
