My son started at Greengables in June 2020 and has come on so well in the last 4-months. This has been due to the lovely staff who have helped him settle in and provided a caring and supportive environment. His speaking and vocabulary have improved dramatically along with his social skills, and it is
such a delight to see. Particularly as he lost a lot of his confidence during lockdown when it came to interacting with other children. The staff communication is excellent with daily handovers and a weekly newsletter, which tells you all the learning activities they have been doing during the week. Drop off and pick up is well organised as well with social distancing measures in place. There is a nutritious tasty menu, and since going to Greengables, my son has become much more adventurous with his food. My son really enjoys going to nursery and returns home very happy, full of new words and eager to try new things and learn.

We are very happy with this nursery and fortunate that our child can be cared for by this nursery. Keyworkers and carers are brilliant and very helpful for our child's development. They are very approachable if we need to discuss our child's strengths and weaknesses; they are happy to listen and adjust
his development plan if we feel that we need extra help with a weakness area. Some of the carers are very informative at pick up time in terms of giving you daily feedback on your child's day. The nursery is always open to feedback and suggestions, and we know they take seriously the parents' observations, recommendations, complaints etc. All in all, we are very happy here.

After looking at what seemed like a million nurseries over a period of about 2-months, Greengables was the last nursery I looked at and was by far the best! Honestly, nothing I saw could even slightly compare. The whole atmosphere of the nursery is perfect for children of all ages and abilities. When
my little one started here, he couldn't walk or talk and was scared of everything, but Greengables has completely transformed him and has helped him develop in so many ways. They care about each individual child, and their needs and everything is so personal. I couldn't recommend Greengables enough!

I would highly recommend Greengables to any parents looking for a potential nursery. We have two children who both attend and it is an excellent nursery that really cares about the well-being and development of our boys. All the staff are very friendly and take time to update us on what they have been
doing each day.

Super nursery. My daughter attended during the lockdown, and she has been so happy from her first day and has stayed despite our lengthy round trip. The manager and team do a fantastic job, and the quality of the activities, education and planning to the quality and variety in the meals provided (hats
off to a probably under-appreciated chef) has been superb. The staff have coped and managed the children so well with the new world and rules, and the administrative team have been very supportive in our transition to funding at 3-years, and I anticipate will be with our future move up to ‘big school’. Thank you Greengables.

for him. I highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter started here two years ago after moving into the area. I can't praise this nursery enough. They are supportive and encouraging. Each child is treated as an individual. The staff and management are excellent. Communication is fantastic. The events held really give parents an opportunity
to be a part of nursery life. The use of the app to see photos and reports is really useful. The staff are really engaging and you get the impression that they genuinely enjoy their jobs. Staff turnover is not high, a testament to the company. If I had more children, I would send them here in a heartbeat.

My son has been attending Greengables since May 2017 and has thrived there. The team are very attentive, positive, engaging and focus on play as well as developing the children with their language, writing and knowledge on all sorts of things, including the fact that you can’t burp in space or at least
that’s what my son has told me! Their activities are great and always changing, he loves the outside space and the food is varied, very healthy and tasty - he loves it!

The staff care. Genuinely want to connect with each child, get to know them. We had worried about my daughter moving from her previous childcare setting and she had a history of finding it difficult to settle. Best part of 2 years on and she's confident and she is completely prepared for big school
next week. She can write well (for a 4-year-old) and is so excited to learn. When she has had a quiet or sad day, they look after her like I would want on a down day. When she's crazy/excited they bounce off her energy. I think they have gotten the mix of staff just right here to be adaptable to any situation or mood. COVID times have been rubbish but my daughter certainly hasn't felt it. Sad to be leaving but my youngest will definitely be making an appearance when the time comes.

I cannot praise Greengables enough for the great work they do. The premises is always sparkling clean which must be so tough to do with so many sticky hands around. The food they have is exceptional and the chefs are as caring as the room staff. My son went from 9 months until he left for school and
was in every room. The staff made him feel comfortable, he thoroughly enjoyed his time and learnt so much. My daughter is there now and wow what a difference in child since she’s been there. Her confidence is through the roof. The fees I think are exceptional for the amount of love and care the children get. The parents app is top class and I can see what she is up to all day long from nappy changes to the videos of the activities she does. The smile on her face at the end of every day just shows the kind of place it is. Would recommend to anyone and pro actively do so.

My daughter also previously attended and so I have always had such a positive experience. All the staff are amazing and go above and beyond and treat my children like

Our Son started in December 2018 and he settled in really well. We were so nervous at first as he’d never been good in groups of people he didn’t know. He was put at ease so quickly by the fantastic staff. They were excellent at helping him settle in. He’s come on so well since being there and learnt
so much. They’ve helped and assisted us as parents with tasks we’ve struggled with. Toilet training and eating different foods. His manners have excelled also and he’s becoming such a lovely young man. He loves talking about his day at ‘school’ and all the activities he’s done and he’s made some wonderful friends and bonded with so many. You get a detailed, daily handover from his teachers as to his activities and foods eaten. And he looks forward to going back every day. We couldn’t recommend this Nursery setting any higher. Amazing setting and awesome staff.
He is really going to miss Greengables and all the staff when he leaves to start school in September.

My son has been attending this setting for just over a month now. He has been at a different nursery since he was 10-months-old and is now 2 and a half. We felt he needed more than was being offered so moved him to Greengables on the recommendation of a friend. Having never been inside the nursery and
never meeting the staff this was almost a blind decision but one that we are so glad we made.
The staff have been nothing but outstanding since our son joined. They clearly care a lot about the well being of the children and this shows in the huge beaming face I am met with at the end of each day.
The activities they carry out look fun and educational all at the same time. It is also clear that each child is understood as an individual and time is taken to ensure their own different needs are met.
I am so happy we made the leap to Greengables and look forward to seeing our son’s journey over the next 2 years.
Thank you Greengables!
P.S the food sounds amazing too!

My son has been attending Greengables since he was 4-months-old and he has loved it from the very beginning. Greengables has always met ours and our son's needs but during this pandemic the have been extraordinary. They have adapted so much to ensure the environment is a safe place to enter and everything
has been so smooth and well organised. I couldn't fault Greengables in any aspect of their care and learning for our son. They have helped him to develop into the little man he is today. I would 100% recommend Greengables to anyone looking for childcare. The outside space is phenomenal which our son absolutely loves.

In a word, Greengables is amazing! Our son started when he was 7-months-old and has worked his way through all the classes to pre-school now. The manager and her team continually go above and beyond, and the teachers in the room provide excellent care. We visited other local nurseries before placing
our son but were won over by Greengables' purpose-built facilities.
Something we found to be invaluable was a discussion with the manager about our son's nervousness about returning after lockdown. She asked the teachers in his bubble to film and upload a short video of his friends playing. She didn't need to do this, but it helped immensely and resulted in a smooth transition back to pre-school.
I would highly recommend Greengables to any prospective parent as the staff here are driven to make the children thrive.

I can't thank or praise the team at Greengables enough. My two children have recently started back and I have been reassured every step of the way. They have both settled back in brilliantly and this is thanks to the wonderful team. They have always been on hand to answer any questions - no matter how
small. The team are so welcoming and have been great at communicating to parents during these very uncertain times.

Superb nursery with amazing staff from top to bottom.
Having recently moved into the area finding and choosing a new nursery was the most important thing we needed to do. Our daughter had been at her previous nursery since she was 10 months (she was 4 years old at the time of our move) and we made
the mistake of opting for a different nursery initially due to its locality. This was a mistake. Within 2 weeks we had moved our daughter to Greengables and we are so very pleased we did. Despite having visited Greengables during our initial search, in hindsight, we should have gone with our initial gut reaction and chosen them.
Quite simply, what a wonderful wonderful nursery.
Amazing practitioners (special mention to the staff member who helped settle our daughter), fantastic set up in each room and a real emphasis on developing the children. As parents, we couldn't be any more grateful to everyone at Greengables for looking after our daughter.
We can't recommend highly enough!

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.
