My little girl comes home after nursery with a big smile on her face, which means the world to me.
My partner normally does the drop offs and pick ups, however she tells me the team are caring and approachable. I am informed about her day at nursery, both through the app and a detailed hand over
at the end of the day. My little girl went to sleep during the day in a pram at home and is now sleeping in the little sleeping pods at nursery, which is fabulous. She has come on so much since starting nursery and is willing to try new experiences and activities. I can't thank Evergreen enough for the care and attention they give to my daughter. Evergreen is so much more than just a nursery, it's a place where she can learn, grow and develop into a sociable, happy and kind little girl.

Literally the best nursery ever. I have 3 and half years old and she has been going to other nurseries since she was 9 months old she hated them all and so did I, never had any updates daily on what she did or eaten, teachers couldn't be asked and possibly mistreated the children as my little one started
to throw up every time she heard that she was going to nursery. At Evergreen she literally jumped for joy every day that she goes, she loves all the teachers and nannies, made some awesome friends and just have some much fun! Not only we get updates every day but talking on picking up time but also by messaging, teachers teach them properly, the pre school skills and are very present through the all day.
Also a shout-out to the Nursery Practitioner who went above and behind to helping me settle my little one at the beginning and help me with some personal matters as well, can't recommend them enough!

My husband and I highly recommend Evergreen nursery to other parents. Our little boy absolutely loves attending three days a week. He learns so much everyday and comes home telling us all about his day (he teaches us things sometimes). The staff are absolutely fantastic, greeting him with a huge smile
and welcoming manor every day. We believe he has come on so much in the past few months and we have nursery to thank for this. Our little boy has been able to gain confidence in his writing, speaking and story telling. We are amazed by him. Thank you to all your lovely staff, every single one of them for being the best people for our little boy. It puts our minds at rest knowing how much fun he is having when we leave him at nursery for the day.

What a wonderful setting for my son. He's encouraged and cared for as if he's one of their own. His language has come on leaps and bounds since he started at Evergreen. The outdoor facilities are fantastic and they are currently building a dedicated preschool setting. We wouldn't have him anywhere else.

I moved my daughter here in February and I have nothing but positive things to say about Evergreen! She has settled in really well, made brilliant progress and loves her nursery days. All the staff are so caring, hard-working and professional. They create such a positive and nurturing atmosphere and
our daughter has come on so much. The updates we get at the end of the day and on the app are always really in-depth and informative too. I'm so glad we changed to Evergreen, it really is a wonderful nursery and the staff make it.

I would recommend Evergreen Early Years - Ladyewell to everyone. It is an absolutely fantastic nursery. My son has been attending for the past 6 months and our experience has been nothing but positive.
My son absolutely loves this setting and the staff, he is so happy and well cared for. The activities
the children do each day are great, and just weeks after starting at the nursery I noticed my son came on leaps and bounds in his speech, fine motor skills and much more. He has continued to develop so quickly and comes home from nursery with a new word learnt almost every week! The staff are incredible and care for the children like they are their own. We get regular updates and photos, as well as observations for development. I couldn't be happier sending my child to this nursery. He is upset when it comes to home time!! I would recommend Evergreen to everyone, all the staff are absolutely fantastic.

This nursery has been wonderful for my son, who did not find the transition from home care easy.
There are always so many lovely activities for the children to take part in, including messy play, though somehow the space always seems clean and tidy!
The outside space is unbeatable, bordering a working
farm, so the children can enjoy listening to and watching the vehicles and animals.
All the staff are lovely, hardworking, and passionate about learning. That’s why he loves going!

Since our son started at Evergreen at Laydewell in early 2023 I have had an extremely positive experience, and so has he. He settled very quickly in the beautiful setting which is credit to the environment and the staff at the nursery, who have really taken the time to get to know him and his personality.
We always feel like he comes home with a new skill, word, or ability. The nursery is always innovating and providing new experiences to help the children develop, and whenever I collect my son it’s always such a sensory experience inside. All the staff are lovely, patient, and genuinely care about the children in the nursery. They cook fresh and delicious meals and we enjoy all the photo and development updates received on the app. We are so pleased we chose Evergreen to start our son’s education - I never feel he is just one of many, it’s a small nursery which has time for a personal relationship with each and every child. Thank you Evergreen.

The staff are amazing and are all wonderful and caring people. They always update me at the end of the day and take the time to talk over any worries I have about my daughter's development. Everyone is always warm and welcoming and the environment is beautiful. My daughter has strong bonds with all
the staff and I can see this in her play at home. She is always reenacting what she does at nursery with her dolls and with me and Dad. I can see how much of a positive impact her time there has, because she wants to continue this with us when nursery is finished for the day. Staff know my daughter well. They quickly notice small gaps in her development, particularly around emotions, and don't waste time in planning something to build her skills. They update the app daily, so I always know what my daughter is learning and can build on this at home. Staff deserve lots of recognition for the impact they've had on my daughter and other children in the setting.

My little boy has been attending Evergreen Early Years since September. I was very nervous for him to settle in, after the previous nursery he went to closed, but he has settled in really well and I can see how much he enjoys his time there. He's always talking about his friends and the staff, who are
all are amazing with him. He loves being outdoors and the spacious outdoor space Evergreen offers is amazing, this was one of the reasons I went with this nursery. It also has that 'country' feel that I like about the setting. Lovely, clean nursery with lovely staff. I highly recommend this nursery.

Evergreen is a fantastic nursery. My little boy only attends one day a week, but they still treat him in the same manner as all others. He was one of the first to attend there and was given amazing care and attention from the beginning. We are always kept in the loop with his development by using the
app. The team listen to his needs and adapts accordingly (especially food related). We couldn't be any happier. My son loves it, and we appreciate the effort the team put in with both activities, communication and additional events for parents to join in - I especially enjoyed my Mothers' Day take-home bag from an event I couldn't attend. They think of everything!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Evergreen Early Years - Ladyewell 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.935 for Evergreen Early Years - Ladyewell is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.935

  • 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 Evergreen Early Years - Ladyewell is based on 18 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
