From French, yoga and sports classes, to exploring and learning in the large outdoor play areas, from the minute you bring your child into the nursery to the moment you collect them you can be confident that, at St. George’s, they will be in a nurturing environment, full of stimulating and educational experiences.

My 2-year-old son has attended the nursery since he was 9-moths-old and has loved every minute. He has thrived during his time with the nursery, always happy to go and smiling when collected. He talks about his day, the staff and his friends with fondness. The staff are always warm and welcoming.
My
11-month-old daughter has recently started attending the nursery. Despite not being used to anyone else caring for her (due to lockdown), she has settled in amazingly well. The staff have been brilliant in helping to relieve my anxieties about her starting and fantastic in helping her settle quickly into the nursery.

Our girls love coming to nursery. My youngest started in September, she is learning to cope being away from us and has made a lovely bond with the staff, so she feels safe at nursery. The nursery does cater to girls allergies if we forget to send pack lunch.
Both the girls have learnt so much being
at nursery and have made a lot of friends.
During covid, they have been excellent from start to finish.
I've recommended this nursery to my friends who are thinking of sending their kids to the nursery.

My two children have been going to St George's Nursery for around a year, and they both love it. They attend nursery four and five days a week, they are great with both one in the babies room 1-year-old, and she is in such a great routine and eats everything, which is helpful as a busy parent for when
home. My 3-year-old is in the preschool room and is currently toilet training, which they are consistent with, they also encourage his pack lunch as he can be a fussy eater. They enjoy nursery, and I would strongly recommend St George's.

I’m so impressed with the staff at St George’s nursery. Since my little one started, I’ve seen a significant improvement with his confidence and speaking ability.


The staff take the time to discuss the kids day at pickup, which helps with development discussions.

Fantastic nursery. The manager and her team are really friendly, and my son loves going to the nursery. He has settled in quickly and come on leaps and bounds in the short time he has been attending. I feel safe sending my son there during the pandemic also. Communication is great. I would recommend
to anyone.

So pleased with our decision to send our two children to St George's. They are absolutely thriving in the two months they've been attending. I've noticed a massive positive impact on their behaviour at home and they engage in games and activities in ways they didn't before they started. They absolutely
love it and we have felt so at ease sending them in. Excellent communication to parents, I can keep up to date with what the kids are doing throughout the day and how much they've eaten etc and get a little day summary when I pick them up. All the staff are absolutely lovely and I would 100% recommend the nursery to anyone in the area.

Myself and my child absolutely love this nursery! All the ladies are lovely.
My son settled in so well even though he’s very shy. It got to a point where he didn’t want to come home because he was having so much fun. They are very thorough with their report at the end of the day in regards to telling
us what my son had been up to, what he’d ate or not ate. My son is a very fussy eater so they would make him something different just so that he would have something to eat.
They are brilliant and friendly and I shall be sending my daughter there next.

A good nursery with well-run activities for the children. My son has just started this nursery and he is growing in confidence every day he loves the breakfast care, carpet time, singing songs and learning different nursery rhymes throughout the morning. On a Monday he has been doing sports.
I am
really looking forward to seeing how he develops more independently during his time at the nursery over the next couple of years and seeing him build-up for full-time school when he leaves (which will be a very sad day). This is the best place to begin for his first pre-school journey.

Myself and my husband love St George’s Nursery. Both of my sons attend and I couldn’t wish for better care, devotion and creativity. St George’s provide an engaging and active day; addressing milestones and making learning fun. They make sure that both of my sons are happy and settled. Staff take the
time to get to know my sons and it is clear they enjoy being there. Every staff member knows my children’s names; from manager to all nursery nurses which says a lot about their welcoming and homely environment. Couldn’t recommend more! We love St George’s, as do our boys.

The overall experience has been good. My child has been involved in several activities which have contributed to developing his learning skills.
The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic.
I found the parent app link very interesting, however, I have noticed that some information is related to morning
activities and my child only does the afternoon session.
I think the information in the app could be more personal comments about how the child actually performed.

Since my daughter has been coming to the nursery her confidence and personality have grown.
She has such a bond with the staff from her class which makes me feel at ease due to the fact she's never been left with anyone else.
The girls are fantastic with her and I couldn't have wished for a better
nursery or staff for my daughter to be a part of.
My daughter adores them all and I'm so thankful for everything the girls do with her.

No issues with the nursery so far, my little girl loves it, so many activities are done with the children.
My daughter particularly enjoys the ball pit and painting.
There's not a day where she isn't tired and ready for bed when she has attended nursery.
Everyone has commented on how well and how
much my daughter's speech has come along since attending nursery.

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.
