My son has had a great experience at Greendale so far, he is so loved and thriving there. He skips in and begs me to come inside and play with him when I arrive to collect him. The ladies are so kind, gentle and fun, they also keep me informed about my son's progression daily. Couldn’t recommend you
more. Thank you.

The sign of a good creche is when your little one runs through the door and gives you a smile and a happy wave bye-bye, and that’s what my son does every morning. As a parent, the only thing you want is for your little one to be happy and content. I know every day my son is having fun, learning new
things and being well looked after. I would recommend this creche to anyone.

My daughter has been in attendance at Greendale for almost 3 years. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the care given! She is so happy here and her development and progress have been amazing to watch. She has learnt so many new things and made lots of lovely friends. I would highly recommend
Greendale to anyone. I know when I drop her off she is happy and well cared for and that as a parent is so reassuring.

We sent our eldest child to Greendale Private Day Nursery and it was all new to us as parents as well as our son. We found the professional service we received was excellent and the staff in each room who supported our boy to grow and develop were fantastic.
Thank you ever so much and we will be back
again with number two, hopefully.

Our son is five and has been going to Greendale since he was a baby. He is now going to after school every day as both my husband and I work full time. We trust the staff at Greendale as they take great care of our son, he knows all the staff there and is very comfortable in the surroundings. We have
had a very positive experience for the past 4+ years and can’t fault the level of care they provide.

My son has been attending Greendale for three and a half years and my daughter has been going for around a year now. I have only positive things to say about the daycare and pre-school environments. Both kids settled in so quickly and love going to "school". The staff in each of the rooms are amazing!
They go above and beyond for the kids in their care. There's structure to the day, they encourage healthy eating and activities are geared towards aiding our children's development. The managers and other admin staff are also fantastic; they have been so flexible and accommodating since day one. You can tell they genuinely care! I could never imagine sending my kids anywhere else. I'd highly recommend Greendale to any parent in the area!

Very satisfied with the nursery.
My child's speech and language are improving and also now he loves to spend more time with other children.
I see some sadness on my son's face when I drop him off at nursery, but I'm sure he'll get over it.
Keep up the good work.

My child has been going to Greendale from the age of nine months and I have to say I have never met better people to care for my child. Everything and everyone is so thorough! The staff are very friendly and the place is always very clean.
The relationship my child has with the staff is brilliant and
they always ensure the needs of my child are met. I have every faith in the nursery school and know when I drop my child off that my child is being left in good care.

I honestly couldn’t be happier or more content when my daughter is in the hands of any of the team at Greendale.
The team are extremely professional, while also showing genuine care and compassion to my daughter - giving that home from home feel.
As my daughter moved from one room to the next, I had
concerns. Concerns that she was settled and I didn’t want to upset her. I quickly saw the benefits of the moves - within a week of moving class I noticed huge development leaps. I don’t have these concerns now as I wholeheartedly know that every decision the team at Greendale make is to benefit my daughter.
Thanks so much for everything.

My daughter has been at Greendale since she was 10 months old and loves it. Every room she has been in has been great, the staff are so friendly and caring, and made transitions smooth. The menu is excellent, giving her the opportunity to try foods she wouldn't at home. The response to covid-19 and
the measures in place to keep the kids safe are excellent, we feel very safe for her being there every day. We hope to keep using Greendale for years to come.

From the moment I stepped into Greendale, I knew it was the day nursery for my child to attend. The nursery is so clean and well presented, a mile above the rest in the area! From my daughter started as a 9-month-old baby to now I have nothing bad to say about Greendale. The staff are amazing and so
caring for all the children. The manager is amazing and knows every single child's name within the nursery which shows that she genuinely cares. My daughter has developed extremely well and I find the staff care for all the children as if they were their own. I am content that my child is well cared for and looked after at this nursery and will highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Greendale Private Day Nursery 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 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.937 for Greendale Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (565 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 599 Ratings = 4.937

  • 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 Greendale Private Day Nursery is based on 50 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 136 number of registered child places is 27.2, which has been reached with 50 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.
