I know when I drop my daughter off to preschool/daycare, she will have a great time and will be well looked after. There are always plenty of activities to stimulate my daughter's mind and she receives encouragement and support to help her become more independent. Due to the current covid 19 situation,
I know there are plenty of things the teachers are not able to do with the children, but the children do not loose out. My daughter cried leaving nursery as she enjoys it so much. A fantastic nursery and although it's not advertised as much as other nurseries, I am glad my daughter goes here.

My daughter has attended Greendale for 18 months, moving from "babies" to the toddler section of the nursery. I couldn't be happier with the level of care, learning and support offered by all the staff. Each room jas brought new and exciting learning opportunities. My daughter has thrived under their
care and I couldn't recommend the nursery more.

My 2 children (aged 3 and 4) have attended Greendale Day Nursery for the past 3 years and have experienced nearly every room in the nursery and been cared for and supported by most of the Greendale staff - they now attend after school most days. I cannot praise the staff, the facilities or the nurturing
environment that Greendale offers highly enough. My children both love going to Greendale and we, as parents, have the utmost confidence and trust in the nursery and its staff knowing that the well-being of our boys is at the forefront of everything. Very welcoming environment, warm and friendly staff and exceptional facilities that children clearly enjoy. I would thoroughly recommend Greendale Day Nursery.

Both my children have attended Greendale, I had no hesitation sending my second child there too. The staff are approachable and welcoming, creating a homely atmosphere. I am satisfied with their COVID procedures, and how they handle these with the children in an unobtrusive manner. Greendale has helped
both children prepare well for moving to pre-school. The layout and age groupings of the rooms also appealed to me.
The only minor downsides are that the children don’t play outside that much in the colder months, and there are no online updates of day to day activities.

My child has been at Greendale for nearly 1.5 years and is loving his experience. The staff in each room have shown my child so much love and care so far. We have transitioned across 3 rooms to date and they have ensured the process was done in the best way for my child. The support from both the management
team and room staff especially during this pandemic has been fantastic for not only my child but me as a parent. I have never felt any request or reassurance was too much trouble for them. We look forward to our child learning and developing further with Greendale.

I am very pleased with this nursery. My daughter has now been attending Greendale Day Nursery for over a year now. I have always felt very happy leaving her in their care. The staff are friendly and kind and seem to give all the children the affection and attention they require at these important early
stages of development. Her transition between the different rooms from the baby stage to the toddler stage has been seamless and she is a very content little girl. I would definitely recommend Greendale to other family and friends.

I would like to say a big thank you to the Manager of Greendale and all the baby helpers and carers.
My son enjoyed his time in this nursery so much.
The manager was welcoming and flexible with my time options and the immediate start I needed.
The baby room was well set up for learning through play
and the activities of my child was documented.
I will recommend anytime.

My son has only started at Greendale in October 2018 and we have been very pleased with this nursery.
I work part-time and am a shift worker. The flexibility I get with this nursery is amazing. When my colleagues speak to me about their nursery experiences, I feel blessed to be near Greendale.
The
staff in the wobbler room are all amazing, and my son feels comfortable there. He eats well and sleeps well and is learning and having fun. I would definitely recommend to friends/family in the area.

My daughter has been attending since she turned one and is now in the wobbler room. She loves it there. Our experience to date has been excellent, we feel that our daughter is receiving the best care possible and we can't thank the staff enough for that.
The kind and caring environment makes us feel
at ease and we know that our daughter is being cared for to the highest standard.
We would definitely recommend Greendale.

The staff are really great and attentive to our child's needs. Our son was quite shy and reserved before starting at Greendale but since then (plus six months) he has really developed his socialisation skills, all thanks to the staff who care for and encourage our son through activities and play.
Thanks
guys!
We appreciate everything you do.

My daughter had the best experience during her time at Greendale. From the welcome parents receive at the open night to the big smiles of the staff to the children at the door each morning. The level of passion and care from the staff was second to none. The ratio of staff to children is excellent and
the play areas and activities were loved by our daughter. I can't thank Greendale enough for the early skills they helped her develop and the memories we made will be cherished.

This nursery by far has to be the most welcoming, friendly and most professional place I have visited. I am pleased to say both my children attend this nursery and to see the staff and children's relationship that is built is fantastic. My son loves going to nursery and my little one has just recently
started and to date she is doing extremely well.


Fab nursery and people. Will definitely recommend.

My little girl has recently started in Greendale Private Day Nursery and it is a big step for both parents and the children. I am extremely happy with the care and attention given to my child and the staff really took the time to help my child settle in. The activities are great for the children and
they seem to be doing something fun and exciting every day. The menu is healthy and varied and the rooms are spacious, bright and clean. A lovely, welcoming nursery.

Our experience of Greendale Private Day Nursery was fantastic. My son first started at Greendale Private Day Nursery at 10 months old and unfortunately had to leave (due to our relocation) at 21 months old. I cannot praise the staff enough; they are great girls who are passionate about what they do.
The facilities are so bright and clean and I haven't seen a better outdoor play area anywhere else. Having moved from the baby room to the 'wobblers' room whilst in the nursery, I can certainly recommend the care received in both these rooms. When leaving, the girls organised a huge goodbye card...so nice! Thanks for everything!

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.
