Plas Gogerddan has been an absolutely wonderful experience for our two daughters. Our eldest has been at Gogerddan for two years and will soon leave the nursery for school and she has thrived in their care. She loves all of the staff and especially loves forest school adventures, getting messy and muddy
and creative and learning about nature. Our youngest started six months ago at 12 months old and from day one has loved every minute! The facilities are top notch, the staff are so engaged and really know and love the children. I recommend this nursery to everyone I meet with children because it has been truly brilliant.

I really can't praise the team at Gogerddan Nursery enough, they are excellent.
My son has been with them from age 1-4 and they have provided him with warm, thoughtful and stimulating care throughout. Staff are skilled childcare professionals, they communicate well and the nursery is very well organised
and the facilities for outdoor and indoor play are great. Finally, there is just a nice feeling around the place, it seems like people enjoy working there and staff always have time to answer a question or just have a chat about the kids.

I have two children within Gogerddan, one in the baby room and one in pre-school. In both, they receive excellent care and fun opportunities for learning and development. Forest experience, nature focussed, celebrating lots of heritages and festivals, encouraged creativity or own work to name a few.
Staff are fantastic, as are management, always willing to make time for parents. Food menus are varied, children always come home full and happy. Highly recommend.

Gogerddan Childcare has been fantastic since our 6-month-old started there. As someone who has worked with the education sector for 17-years, I believe Gogerddan to be the best nursery within the area. The management, staff and amenities on offer are exceptional! Thank you for providing the best care
to our baby.

Gogerddan Childcare cannot be highly recommended enough. My son has had a very happy four years where he has made lasting friendships, laughed, loved and developed. He couldn't wait to get there every morning. As part of his social development, Gogerddan Childcare has enabled him to develop sharing
skills and he can build friendships and is confident, especially important as he is an only child. He goes outside every day whatever the weather and has become resilient and outgoing due to this. The use of the woods has been excellent (his favourite place at nursery) and he will sadly miss this at school. In fact, he will not get so much outdoor time at school and will really miss this. The nursery is very expensive for a single parent, but I'm so glad I stretched for him to attend here.

My little girl started in Plas Gogerddan Nursery in March after an extremely good timetable of settling in sessions. She was born a few days before the first lockdown so had not had much social interaction apart from a handful of very close family members so I was worried with how and if she would settle
at all. The staff were amazing - so kind and considerate. Attending the nursery has definitely helped my daughter's confidence with learning new things and seeing new people. They participate in a range of different activities and are often outside from the updates we receive which is great. The communication has been very good since she started - regular daily updates and regular emails. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been attending Plas Gogerddan Nursery Gogerddan Childcare Ltd for around six months in the toddler room and she has had such a fantastic time, I couldn't recommend the setting more highly. The staff are caring and lovely, the activities are really varied and the kids spend a great deal
of time outside. They have a woodland close by where the children sometimes go to during the week, which is really good. My daughter gets so excited when we turn into the road and is always so pleased to see the staff from her room. Excellent setting, highly recommended!

The nursery has made the transition of going back to work and leaving my child much easier. Through the use of many settling in sessions to now, spending full days there, my child looks to be thoroughly enjoying his time here, which makes it much easier to leave him there.
From experience, all staff
are very pleasant and not just in the room where your child is, but throughout. I have felt at complete ease leaving my child at the nursery and loved seeing artwork and little cards made by him.

My daughter started in Jan 2019, the only reason she is finishing is that she is going to school. All the staff are great, she only experienced the preschool room but everyone was so lovely and friendly. I felt my daughter was developing in the nursery. I especially loved how much time they spent outside
in the forest. I would highly recommend this nursery Gogerddan.

My child (8 months) has a gradual settling in period which was extremely useful in ensuring that she was well settled when she started. All staff have been excellent and nothing is too much trouble. I feel that staff are very caring and my daughter is always clean when we pick her up. Communication
(on a daily basis) is excellent and her key worker and all staff have ensured that our daughter follows the routine as we requested. I can't thank the staff enough.

My son has attended this nursery for over three years and there is nothing I can fault. The manager and all the staff are amazing and the setting is lovely next to fields and woodland. I drop him off safe in the knowledge he will be expertly cared for and loved. I only wish he could stay there and hope
he's as happy in school as he's been in the nursery.

I can't recommend Plas Gogerddan Nursery highly enough - without question it is the absolute gold standard in childcare provision.
The staff are simply incredible, so caring, and every single day they go above and beyond for the children. They are also so approachable and friendly to the parents.
Nothing is too much trouble. The managers are a perfect mix of really lovely and very efficient! My son is SO happy and I know he is being wonderfully looked after. The range of activities is fantastic, and the nursery has lots and lots of outdoor space - the nature garden is a favourite at the moment! Nature walks and the forest school for the older children. The food is excellent, great variety. Ultimately, Gogerddan feels like family.

I would recommend Plas Gogerddan Nursery without hesitation or reservation. Fantastic, friendly staff, who are always prepared to go the "extra mile". The managerial set-up is a model of professionalism and efficiency. My 2-year-old loves the place and enjoys a wide range of activities, including
access to wonderful surrounding forest and countryside. A wonderful nursery.

My daughter attends Gogerddan nursery and it's the best place we could ever choose. The staff is friendly and caring, to us parents as well as our children.
This is my second experience with a nursery, as my son went to a different one, and the difference is staggering. My daughter was introduced
to the nursery slowly to give her all the time to adjust, every stage of her growing is documented and whenever she has moved to the next class it was carefully planned and not rushed to make room for more children.
The outdoor space is amazing, the activities they are able to do are great, I never get a tear when I bring her in, even as a baby.
This nursery is a credit to the staff, they are really fantastic and the manager is really incredible.
The children are in a safe and fun environment, the food they offer is delicious and healthy giving the children a great start.
My older son goes to their holiday club which is equally well planned and a great experience every time.

My daughter loved her time in nursery. The staff took excellent care of her and provided a really inspiring learning environment. I felt I could discuss any issues that arose with either room team or management, and they were acted upon very quickly, and I was kept fully informed throughout. The nursery
provided support above and beyond the call of duty at certain times and was much appreciated. The friendships that grow between staff and child really give you confidence in the care provided.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.310)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.310) out of 10 for Plas Gogerddan Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Plas Gogerddan Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.31 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Plas Gogerddan Nursery is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.185

  • 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.
