My little one absolutely loves going to nursery! She's currently in the twos room and always comes home with a massive smile on her face! I love that you get a daily sheet of what activities they have done and what food they have eaten!
Her confidence in speech and herself is growing by the day we
would recommend everyone to use this nursery!

I hardly know where to begin to describe how good Plas Gogerddan Nursery is! Perhaps best to say that every member of staff regularly goes above and beyond to create the best possible environment for children to grow and flourish, from the wonderful bond they create with the children, to the wide variety
of fun resources and activities made available to help them learn, and the amazing facilities, in particular their brilliant outdoor space and the wonderful woodland area. More than working to maintain these excellent standards, staff are always thinking of ways to improve and develop facilities and practices, and the communication with parents on all of this is superb.

My children absolutely love going to nursery at Gogerddan.
The outside activities are fabulous especially the wooded area which they often go to.
Every staff member goes above their expectation of a "nursery nurse".
Wish they could stay forever.

Our experience of this nursery has been incredibly positive. Children are nurtured and encouraged as individuals, treated with respect, care and as equals. The atmosphere of the nursery is happy and safe and it feels as though the staff are always striving to improve and to deliver the best possible
care. The development of the outside spaces has been great and my daughter has really loved this element of the nursery. I have sent both daughter's here and would strongly recommend it to other friends and family.

I can't recommend this nursery enough, fantastic staff, fantastic location and excellent facilities. My daughter loves the outdoors, she loves spending the day at the woods and cooking snacks on the campfire! I often hear about all the bugs in the nature garden and how she has helped to feed the guinea
pigs. I will definitely be using the holiday club at the nursery when my daughter starts primary school.

My daughter started at the nursery at the beginning of January 2018, aged 13 months. The nursery instigated a period of settling in days from late November 2017 so that we were both comfortable and happy with the nursery environment and staff prior to starting properly for three days a week.
The nursery
quickly established a key worker for my daughter, which provides a source of regular feedback, monitoring and general updates, as well as a welcoming face whenever we arrive.
In addition, all of the baby staff have been excellent - friendly and welcoming, but also attentive to individual needs, interests and development.
The children do a wide variety of activities and have access to excellent outdoor spaces for warmer days.
The whole team at the nursery have helped my daughter to settle in very quickly and allowed me to start back at work in the knowledge she's safe and happy.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for the past two years.
I have found the level of care outstanding. The staff are attentive and thoughtful and clearly care for each child. Staff are always available to talk over anything.


It makes me happy that she gets to spend lots of time outside

and goes to the woodland classroom regularly.
I have found the quality of provision to be so good that I have chosen to continue sending her there rather than the preschool nursery within the local school that she will eventually be attending.

The level of care and attention the nursery gives to each child individually is exceptional. The daily sheets we receive with all the information about food, sleep, bottles, nappies and activities put my mind at rest and quietens the 'Mum guilt' thoughts.


They contact me immediately with any issues

or potential issues and I much prefer it that way. I also absolutely love that they have recently implemented a Welsh language scheme for the staff.

My daughters thoroughly enjoy their days at the nursery; I have total peace of mind knowing that each day they are happy and well cared for in my absence.


The staff are helpful, informative, caring and full of fun. I love knowing my girls get to go on mini adventures to the woods while I am at

work! Their confidence has come a long way since starting and has built some lovely friendships.


I wouldn't choose anywhere else for my children. I can't praise Plas Gorgerddan Nursery enough.


Thank you.

My Son loves going to Plas Gogerddan Nursery! The activities that are offered and the level of care and support that staff give to the children is fantastic. Staff are always welcoming and I appreciate that they take the time to discuss his progress and share what he’s been doing in the day. A very
friendly environment with a good assortment of toys and the food offered is varied and healthy. A great nursery!

My daughter has been with this nursery for over 2 years and every time she attends, she is really happy and settled and enjoys going on a daily basis.


Since my daughter started, every day she comes home singing songs and telling myself and her daddy different things she has done and always enjoys

going the following day to learn more. My daughter has come along way since starting there, her speech has come on amazing and also her capabilities of doing things and that's down to the amazing team that is there.


All the staff are very lovely, always very pleasant and will go beyond to help with anything needed.


Excellent Nursery I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone.

This is a completely exceptional nursery. Not only because of the amazing facilities - forest school, lovely outside areas, guinea pigs (!) - but more importantly, because of the staff. The people who work at Plas Gogerddan Nursery Gogerddan Childcare Ltd are wonderful with the children because they
take them seriously as people. They are never patronising, but always kind, playful, engaged and encouraging. My daughter loves it here, would recommend to anyone.

My daughter's confidence has grown during her time (6 months) in the nursery. The staff are all lovely and the learning activities are fun and effective. The forest school is excellent. I love it that they spend so much time outdoors, engage with nature and develop skills with activities, fire, cooking,
making things etc. They have given us a detailed folder of her time in nursery. My only niggle would be feeding sugary food to the children. I'm sure if I had specified not to they would not have done, but then my daughter would have been singled out.

Reply from Emma Healy, Manager at Plas Gogerddan Nursery

Thank you for your feedback. As discussed following your review the meals and snacks that we serve to the children daily are healthy with sugar content always in mind. Occasional treats may be given to the older children during events and celebrations.

My daughter has been in the nursery since she was 6 months old and will be there until she starts school full time this September. The staff are wonderful, caring and fun, I had no qualms leaving my little baby in their care. The facilities are great and the children get to spend a lot of time out
and about, the camp in the woods is a highlight. On a practical side, the care offered is flexible and makes life for full time working parents so convenient. I could not recommend this nursery high enough, I get a lump in my throat thinking about my daughter leaving in September!

Excellent nursery. The management, in particular, is very strong; not an incident passes without the manageress being aware of it. The nursery is very welcoming and approachable and it gives me great peace of mind to know that my son is so well looked after while I'm at work. He gets involved in a wide
range of activities and there is a large outdoor play area where he can run about. He has not been at nursery for long but has already enjoyed playing in the forest school. At the end of each day, parents receive detailed information about their child's activities, eating and sleeping habits and nappy changes. My son is happy, so I am happy!

I can be quite a hard person to please (as my husband is happy to testify) but I cannot rate Gogerddan childcare highly enough. Our daughter spent three very blessed years there and I don't think I'll ever know how much we owe the staff who have given our daughter such a wholesome. Fun, active, educational
and loving start in life. The owner and manager models loving and caring for the children in the most exceptional way and generate a sense of family, acceptance and care throughout her work, whilst somehow always maintaining the fun, she is amazing. The standards are extremely high but without making the place feel sterile and cold. I have loved the time I've spent at this facility and will greatly miss mine and my daughter's interactions with it.

My son has been at Plas Gogerddan for two months by now and he settled so well initially, though as is normal with babies, he is a little bit more clingy by now. That said the staff do settle him quickly if he does become upset as we leave him. Nothing seems to be too much of a bother for the staff
as they aim to stick to our routine as much as possible (sleep times etc) which is great for him and for us too. A little disappointed that we have to pay more for a meal, but on the whole, the standard of food given is very good, so it doesn't bother us that we have to pay the additional fee.

The staff at Plas Gogerddan go to enormous effort to develop ways and means of encouraging children's development alongside the current curriculum for doing so. They are creative and inventive, safety minded at all times, resourceful and positive always. I don't think the Managing Director stops for
breath sometimes as she relentlessly wants to keep improving the ways we connect with children to develop them. The nursery challenges boundaries in a responsible manner bringing out the best in all.

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.
