My daughter has been at Greengables from the age of ten months up until starting school at the age of nearly 5. We could not be happier with the care and support that has been provided by Greengables over this time. My daughter has grown so much in confidence over her time here and we are very sad that
it has come to an end. We would highly recommend Greengables to anybody making the decision to put their child into a nursery.

I’m so glad I was able to secure a place at Greengables Day Nursery for my daughter. She was a bit wary to start with, having never been away from me, but all of the staff really helped her to settle and were able to easily distract her with a range of activities. I love the outdoor area which is really
lovely space and has so much for them to do and play with. I’m really happy with how she’s progressed in the short time she’s been there. I would recommend Greengables to anyone.

We have had our daughter at Greengables for the last four years and we have loved every second of it. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and they always have the children's best interests at the heart of everything that is done.
The variety of activities for the children is amazing and they take the
time to help each and every child.
Would highly recommend Greengables.

I started my daughter at Greengables Day Nursery in March and she has settled in so well, which is entirely thanks to the staff in the baby room. My daughter is well adjusted and loves her time at nursery. The staff have been fantastic and very supportive to me (first time worrying mum!) They have been
very reassuring and ensured really good communication with me to reassure me that my daughter is having a good day. The app is updated regularly and they always have time to talk about my child at the beginning and end of the day. I know that my daughter is well looked after and cared for throughout the day. She is also fed a great variety of healthy meals. I love that they have the opportunity to be outdoors every day and explore their surroundings. The management team were also great at finding us a space and fitting us in for reduced days to start with so that we had a gradual start to my daughter’s nursery life.

Our son started at Greengables Day Nursery a couple of years ago and our daughter started last year. We chose to travel to Sandhurst from Bracknell because the nursery has such a great friendly, professional and supportive feel. We have been very happy with the care here. The nursery manager has been
a real support, helping our son with overwhelming feelings at home and introduced us to the worry monster, who came for a home stay - which was a real success. They then went out of their way to support us with tips and tricks and helpful links and advice and we are very grateful. I recommend Greengables Day Nursery regularly and I am so pleased we found them. The staff there are amazing.

Our 11 month old daughter and 2.5 year old son have recently started at Greengables Day Nursery and we are so happy we found this amazing nursery! Our son is so happy to attend.. he doesn’t want to come home! He is already signing songs at home and loves telling us what he has been up to during his
day. Our son has just started toilet training and this was really supported from the offset. Both our son and daughter’s key workers are lovely and have really helped with settling both our children as well as making us as parents feel updated with information. We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!

My daughter started in the Caterpillar room towards the end of last year and we couldn't be more thrilled that she is at Greengables Day Nursery! Her induction process and settling-in sessions were well organised and her key person and room leader took the time to really get to know our daughter. She
asked all about her developments and any areas we would like to focus on and they got started straight away on working on these. We felt immediately confident leaving our daughter with her and the team, everyone's confidence and commitment to care have been clear throughout. Everyone has made the effort to get to know our daughter and she is building some great relationships and is starting to really find her confidence and come out of her shell. We are kept up to date on all of her activities via the app, with pictures and information about naps and mealtimes.
We feel so lucky our daughter is at Greengables Day Nursery and can't wait to watch her flourish whilst under their exceptional care! Thank you!

Our son has been at Greengables since he was six months old and attends four days a week. He has been looked after in three separate rooms by a wide variety of practitioners and, frankly, we could not speak higher of all the staff at Greengables. We are delighted with the progress he has made in his
time there. They regularly update us with how he is doing against 0-3 criteria and the areas they are working on with him. There is always a variety of activities planned that appeal to a wide demographic and the children are always happy.
They go above and beyond. As a parent, I could ask for no more or recommend them highly enough.

My Daughter started in the Caterpillar room in July, and I am so happy with how well she has settled into the nursery! The staff have been great and are always there to give detailed feedback on her day and the app is always up to date for me to check on throughout the day. The morning drop-offs go
so smoothly and seeing my little one put her arms out to staff with a smile, is so lovely to know she has developed great relationships with her key worker and room-based staff. The nursery has really supported the weaning journey and given us great ideas to try at home, and now my daughter is a confident eater and loves meal times. It's been amazing to see the nursery environment change in just a few months my daughter has been at Greengables, and how new resources impact the children! My daughter loves walking with the push-along toys and will soon be off on her own. We couldn't be happier with our daughter's development and can't thank the staff enough for being so welcoming. We love Greengables!

I'm so happy we found Greengables Day Nursery for our daughter, from the moment we visited for a tour I knew it was the right place for her. Everyone is always so friendly, welcoming and takes the time to get to know every child and parent really well. The space is calm and beautiful and the children
spend a lot of time outside in the lovely outdoor space which was really important to us. My daughter wears hearing aids and the Greengables staff have really gone above and beyond to support her and meet her needs, we have been so amazed by everything they've done to give her the best start possible, we couldn't ask for more! She absolutely loves going to nursery and loves all the staff in her room. The food is also great, it's good to see the updates on the app and they've been very accommodating with her dietary requirements. All the staff got to know my daughter so well right from day one, helping her have a smooth transition when she first started. We'd definitely recommend Greengables to everyone!

My daughter, started in September, in the baby room and has taken some time to find her stride, in her new environment. The staff have been absolutely amazing at helping her find her feet, while she goes at her own pace. The staff are all absolutely lovely. They always have time to chat things through,
if needed and are brilliant at keeping us, as parents, informed. Thank you so much.

All the staff at Greengables Day Nursery are very friendly and helpful. They really helped my child settle in when she moved due to the pandemic. She has flourished at this preschool with the help of the staff. They have encouraged her to do the things she loves and supported and guided her with things
she has found hard to learn. I would recommend this preschool to any parent who wants a safe, loving environment for their child to be happy and learn in, they have made sure my child is ready for reception and excited to move on. Thank you to all the staff for helping my child on her journey.

I am so pleased I picked Greengables as the nursery for our daughter. She started when she was only 10-months-old and she loves it. The team are great at keeping me updated and letting me know how she’s got on every day. This week I had the opportunity to pick her up earlier than normal and I was able
to enter her room and watch her without her noticing. She was so content, happy and relaxed, listening to storytime, it was almost a shame to bring her home. Thank you in particular to the team in the Caterpillar room, you have really eased any initial worries I had about leaving my precious little one when I went back to work. Thank you Greengables, would recommend to anyone.

I think I am honestly Greengables Owlsmoor number one fan! This nursery is the best thing to have ever happened to my 17-month-old son. I have seen how he has developed as a direct result of the care and personal investment by the staff in ladybirds, all the teacher friends and Greengables staff. My
little one was welcomed from day one and he is always so happy to be at school. He has fond attachments with many of the staff at Greengables and that is reassuring for us as parents to know our little one is happy, independent and confident. I cannot express enough how thankful we are for the kindness and support they have shown towards his development and character building. Truly excellent school.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Greengables, they have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. But more importantly, our 2-year-old son has been made very welcome in his first few weeks of nursery. He has been a bit shy after not spending much time with other children during
the multiple lockdowns etc. and the staff have done a fantastic job at building his confidence and getting him involved in activities and mixing with the other kids. He always has a big smile on his face when we go to pick him up which is obviously lovely to see.

Constantly creating, endless nurturing and as ever professional! Examples for each have been consistent since our warm welcome and throughout. Given the current circumstances with a pandemic, we could not be happier with the response from the team in an environment that has been suitably adapted. Evidence
of our children's growth is often complemented by small gems we receive as updates throughout our day (telephone application). Safe to say our children are thriving in a great setting. It's easy to be biassed towards our key carers but our thanks are extended to all staff members. We really couldn't ask for more from Greengables.

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.
