I cannot thank Greengables enough for the wonderful experience, care and education they've provided both my daughter, who has graduated and my son, who continues to thrive there.
All of the staff are incredibly loving and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment where my children have
and continue to feel safe and excited to attend. They have both developed important social skills through fun and engaging activities. My daughter has built lasting friendships that have continued through her transition to school. I love hearing about all the adventures and new things learnt each day - from fun arts and crafts to engaging storytelling sessions. The communication from the nursery is excellent, keeping me informed about progress and daily routines.
I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place for their little ones to be happy, content, and grow!

I am an anxious first time mum and I cannot fault Greengables Day Nursery. They have made me feel so at ease. My little boy has only been attending for 4 months and in his short time he has learnt so much. The staff are wonderful, friendly, caring and welcoming. Trust was a big thing for me when you
are leaving your little one's and I feel so comfortable and love the updates on the app to see how much fun he is having. This is also provides me as a parent with reassurance. When I first visited Greengables, I just instantly knew I wanted my little boy to go here. The facilities are great, clean and my little boy's confidence has grown in the short space he has attended. I can't wait to watch him grow and develop at Greengables.

My son (16m) currently attends Greengables Day Nursery.
He has developed so much in the short time he has been attending (joined in September 2024).
The staff will give regular updates on progress and what they are working on which is great for peace of mind. There is also an app where you can see
how your child is doing each day for meals, sleep and nappies.
Absolutely recommend - the nursery is fantastic.

Greengables is a wonderful nursery and we have never had anything to complain about. Our two sons attended until they went to school, our youngest started as a baby and moved through each room. The staff are so kind and caring, the food and range of activities and facilities are excellent and both boys
went to school very very well prepared for their next chapter. Thank you Greengables, we miss you all!

My little boy went to Greengables for just over 2 years.
My little boy's confidence, speech and character soared once he started. Every single member of staff is lovely and friendly and knows every child by name and makes them feel welcome and comfortable daily, the setting ensured he was well prepared
for school.
I would certainly recommend this nursery and use this nursery again.

I couldn't recommend a better nursery! Both of my children have gone through every room at Greengables, and over the past six years, it truly became part of our family. Saying goodbye was incredibly difficult- it felt like the end of an era.
The staff are warm, and caring, and always go above and beyond
to accommodate the children's needs. The setting is always clean and beautifully maintained, and the facilities are outstanding. The variety of activities they offer keeps the children engaged and excited to learn.
The dedication and hard work of the entire team are so evident. Thank you for taking such great care of my children and equipping them with the skills they need to thrive in the next chapter of their lives!

Greengables has been a really supportive, fun and friendly setting for my son throughout his 3 years there. He built strong relationships with his teachers and made friendships that have continued after nursery.
In our experience, the staff are caring and knowledgeable and clearly take an interest
in each child as an individual. The rooms are fresh and well-maintained and the activities are engaging.
We really like the community feel of the nursery, the charity fundraising and events help create that.

Greengables are a fantastic nursery for our daughter. She settled in quickly, the staff are all lovely and welcoming, she has gained confidence and has a brilliant time at nursery. We love the updates we get on her development and snapshots of her days in nursery - it's so reassuring and heartwarming
to see her having fun and exploring. We couldn't be happier with our choice for her childcare.

Cannot fault this nursery. Nothing is too much trouble! Being an anxious first-time mum they really supported me and continue to support me and my daughter while she’s at nursery. She loves coming here and asks in her days at home if she can go in! Thank you Greengables for all your hard work!

We looked at lots of nurseries and nothing seemed to tick all of the boxes for us, until we visited Greengables. We knew pretty much straight away that this was the one. The outside space is lovely; with lots of different activities and equipment, this was really important to us as our little one loves
to spend time outside. The health and safety aspect here is also great, our son has a nut/peanut allergy and I fully trust the precautions put in place for his safety. He's also recently had a medical procedure which requires some extra care and applications of medicine etc, and the team have been very supportive and reassuring. Our son has built strong relationships with all of the staff and his confidence has increased so much since starting here. He always has a lovely time, is learning loads, and the staff are brilliant!

We are very happy with Greengables Day Nursery, our daughter is thriving there. She has her key workers but interacts with all of the staff and is comfortable around them. We like that they greet the children directly, the team really care and it shows. We were nervous leaving her for the first time
but the staff were fantastic and helped her settle quickly. We notice changes in her development every week and the staff are encouraging with her. We enjoy getting development updates on the app and seeing the activities she gets up to. The food is nutritious with lots of variety and the rooms have so much for the children to play with. We did a lot of research and visited many nurseries but on our first visit to Greengables, we knew this was the nursery for us. The staff are providing a wonderful start to my daughter's learning journey. When we pick her up, she looks like she’s had the best time and always has a smile on her face. Thank you to all of the staff, you are amazing!

We did a lot of research and visited a lot of nurseries before we picked Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor). Four years later both my boys go there and I'm so glad we chose them. The facilities are great, the daily routines are really good, with great meals and snacks, indoor and outdoor play, crafts,
singing, reading, drawing and tonnes more. But by far the most important thing is the people, the team at Greengables are fantastic, they really care about the children they look after and it shows.
Yesterday when I picked my youngest up I was talking to the staff about his day. He'd been really tired and slept much longer than usual at nap time. They said after an hour he'd woken up crying and they worried he'd had a nightmare. They cuddled him and he went straight back to sleep, and slept for another hour. That to me sums up everything that really makes Greengables great. When I can't be with my boys they are with people who care about them, play with them, teach them and give cuddles whenever they need them!

My son started at Greengables Day Nursery in the baby room and has moved to the toddler class and has settled in so well. The staff were so supportive and reassuring as a first-time mum, it can sometimes be tough leaving your little baby. His key worker keeps me updated on his progress, milestones and
always has time to talk at the end of the day. The app is updated regularly and provides up-to-date information about my son’s day including photos and videos demonstrating his development and daily activities. It gives me peace of mind to know that my son is well looked after and cared for throughout the day. He is fed a great variety of healthy meals and has the chance to be outdoors every day to explore and be creative. My son is always so happy and smiley to be at nursery, I would recommend Greengables to everyone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor) 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.972 for Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor) is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor) is based on 27 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 27 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.
