My stepson comes to this nursery, and the staff are very friendly. My stepson has settled in really well and has made a lot of new friends. The new app is very helpful for me and my stepson's Dad to see what he is getting up to at nursery and how he's doing with his meals and toileting. Love seeing
the photos of how happy he is and how much he's learning and developing.

Excellent provision. My child is now walking, talking and learning very quickly due to the encouragement of the nursery. The communication is also very clear from the staff, which is really important for us - I couldn’t recommend the team more!

It was really nice that the nursery has new management, and the team seems to be a little more organised now.
I help my daughter with pickups, and the nursery now looks more well-kept, and the staff seem to care more.

The best nursery in my opinion! Both my sons love it here, and the staff can't do enough to accommodate you. The staff are lovely and brilliant with the children - everyone always makes you feel very welcome and I've always felt like I've been kept up-to-date with the children's progress. I would highly
recommend them to everyone!

My daughter has been at EduCare for 2 years now and in that time I've seen her grow in confidence and spirit. The team here are so wonderful and treat her like the individual she is. I've only ever had praise for them, especially the way the interact and engage with the children. She's so happy here
and that's the best review a nursery can have.

My daughter has settled well, she loves the staff and I've had the pleasure of watching her play and interact with the staff and other children on mother and daughter day and can see that she is happy and confident being there.


Any issues I've had have been sorted out quickly and resolved with patience.

I can see from her behaviour that she has learnt so much and love seeing her picture and reports.


In the early days when she first started at 8 months, I rang every day to check on her and staff were patient and understanding.

My son has been coming to EduCare Day Nursery since he was 8 months old. On the whole, they are a brilliant nursery and have sorted any issues quickly and professionally. It's great that they are flexible with a shift pattern making it ideal to work with my husband's shifts.

I have been really pleased with Educare as a nursery for our son. The staff are all really friendly and caring, knowing my child and help him develop his skills and confidence. He continues to flourish in this environment. I like the fact that the children get to do plenty of creative play such as painting
and exploring different textures and types of material and that they have a good outdoor/garden space. It would be nice to be able to see a few photos of group activities which we don't currently and also if a few more trips out were organised during the year.

Little child joined a couple months ago, really pleased with everything. Excellent service, staff and managers really go out of the way to help and make sure everything is perfect and my needs have been met.


Was a little nervous about sending my child to nursery as I would rather him be looked after

by me or my wife, but I'm really pleased with the results especially in the short period of time. His behaviours, as well as intelligence, has improved by a lot. He is a lot more well behaved and is a pleasure to take out in public now!


Really impressed with Educare, can't thank them enough. The best nursery I've visited, so glad my child is there. I'm excited to see what he's learnt today!


Keep up all the good work :)


Many thanks.

What a lovely nursery, we are so lucky to find this total gem on Pelham Road. We have two children one a baby and in the Pre-School room. EduCare started us off with a few free supervised visits to get them slowly used to it. This really helped me and their dad feel more at ease. Our children have come
on immensely since joining, the staff are warm, friendly and so helpful. They work tremendously hard playing, nurturing and caring for all the children in their care. When we collect both children the staff ensure that we know as much as possible about their day and anything they feel is a real importance to us. They kindly give me calls to make me aware if either child is feeling unwell or if they feel that one of the children needs to visit the doctor, which I personally find very helpful. The management team are excellent the manager is very welcoming and will offer us support whenever we needed it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for St George's Nursery (Sherwood) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.920 for St George's Nursery (Sherwood) is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 St George's Nursery (Sherwood) is based on 23 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 23 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2023

I started my journey in early years just over 15 years ago!


I have an open degree where I mainly focused on early years but also did a year in primary education and did research studies that also focused on childhood studies. I have my forest schools’ level 3, level 3 in speak and language and I’m also an accredited language lead.


I have so many favourite moments working with children it would be hard to choose. One of the things I enjoy the most is when you make incredible relationship with the children and know their individual personalities, so you can tailor their experience to meet their needs and make it fun and exciting.


Another element I love about working with children is when you support them and see them achieve their goals, developmentally or even just like this week when a child was very nervous about using the climbing frame. The child needed lots of help and reassurance from me to use the climbing frame, to then getting up on it by themselves and then completing it with little help and watching them smile and be proud of their own achievement.


I think what attracted me to work in nurseries stemmed all the way from my early childhood. I have very positive memories from when I was in nursery and loved my nursery teachers. I then went on to do my work experience in early years settings and loved it! I suppose I wanted to be that teacher (miss honey) and give children the best early years’ experience where they are nurtured and can grow into the best little people they can be.
