My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last 4 months and absolutely loves it. I was quite concerned when she first started that she wouldn’t settle as she is quite a clingy baby but I was delighted at how quickly she took to it and all the staff. The staff are so friendly and caring and
you can tell they genuinely love their job and all the children. Would recommend this nursery in a heartbeat. Thanks for all your hard work and support!

Greengables was actually the only nursery we looked at because we didn't need to look at any more, Greengables felt like a great place to send our daughter. From the beginning we've felt very happy and confident sending her there. This comes from the great staff, their creativity, communication and
overall approach. I'll be sad to say goodbye when she moves to school, but also really pleased that she went there. It's a lovely local community and we made the right choice.

My daughter loves attending Greenables and looks forward to attending. I am always impressed with the variety of activities available. Also the outside space is great, which for us was very important as my little one loves being outdoors. Staff are lovely and always warm and welcoming when we arrive.

Where do I start? This nursery is absolutely fantastic and I recommend it to everyone I meet. It is so well run, and the staff are so caring, thoughtful, professional, encouraging with my children and they really treat them like their own family. Both of my children have been at this nursery since 12
months old, and they have developed so much during this time. The staff really take a genuine interest in what your child is learning, and you work together with them on this. There is so much variety in each room, and the outside space is absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a place for your child to have a home from home, you should definitely choose this nursery. You won't be disappointed.

I have been very impressed with the care and support my son has received during this difficult period and dealing with Covid-19. Staff care of my son has remained at a high level and staff always continue to welcome us with a smile and are very friendly. I have been satisfied with the measures the nursery
has taken to during Covid-19 and felt they prioritised the health and well-being of my son and his friends. Thank you to all staff for all that you have done to support our family during this challenging time.

Since viewing Greengables, I couldn’t have felt more welcome and comfortable to place my daughter in their care. My daughter loves it there, I find she is so sociable and learns a lot from the days she attends. Greengables always keep me updated on her progress, milestones, meal information and just
general communications. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Greengables and have already signed my newborn son up to attend in the future. Thank you to everyone there for being so welcoming, friendly and efficient!

My daughter started in the caterpillars room in March 2020. The team are incredibly flexible, willing to keep to her routine which was so important to us. She built bonds so quickly with a number of the team and settled in far more quickly than I could have ever imagined. All the staff at Greengables
are so warm and friendly, all willing to go above and beyond for the children and their families. The hours of drop off and collection are very flexible, in fact more flexible than any other nursery in the area when we were viewing. We are also so impressed with how Greengables prepares the older children for school and this is one of the main reasons why we chose them, we were absolutely right in our decision.

Our daughter is currently in pre-school so is coming to the end of her stay at Greengables. She started in the youngest group as a baby so has been through each class. I have to say it’s a wonderful nursery. She absolutely loves it and is really missing it during these difficult times. Everything about
the nursery is fantastic, all the staff, the rooms with all the games and things for the children to do. The outside space they have. All the games and educational things they get to do and learn and the wonderful fresh cooked food they have to eat. As I say our daughter has loved her time there and made lots of lovely friends. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic Nursery with outstanding staff. The environment is purpose built and welcoming. As a first time mother returning to work I felt very anxious and the staff were so reassuring and supportive. The team of administrative and nursery staff always go above and beyond to ensure our daughter is well
looked after and cared for whilst at nursery. The parent app is great and provides up to date information about your child's days including photos and videos demonstrating their development and daily activities.
We are so fortunate that our daughter is at this nursery and I would definitely recommend it to other parents.

I have 2 children at Greengables. Both have been there since 11 months and now we're in pre school. I had no idea at the time quite how important Greengables would be to us over the years. Being a parent is tough, it is so reassuring that Greengables are there to support and guide you. The staff are
all so cheerful and friendly and, they always take time to talk and listen. They have been so helpful and professional through difficult times like potty training and challenging behaviours. We recently had 2 weeks away with self isolation where I truly appreciated what a stabilising effect they have for our children. The meal plan is excellent and it was quite a challenge trying to match it in our time away. They manage to get our kids to eat all kinds of things they won't at home! Finally, I think the great management team has such a positive effect. They have systems in place which are maintained and reviewed, I have always felt safe with them.

I would recommend Greengables nursery to everyone - they have been wonderful. Both of my children have attended here. From the baby room up until preschool - all the staff are fantastic here and take the time to get to know each child individually. My youngest took a little while to settle and the
staff in the baby room went above and beyond with trying different techniques to help her settle/eat/sleep etc. The handover to each room move is brilliant. The children do a wide range of activities throughout the day and have access to a brilliant outside/garden area. The cost of the nursery covers everything so you don’t need to remember to pack everything in the morning. Please go and view this nursery if you are local and trying to find a nursery for your little ones.

My son started at Greengables when he had just turned 1. It was so daunting leaving my baby in the hands of what were effectively strangers! He starts school in September and we haven't had a single regret about our choice of nursery. We have always received regular updates, the communication has been
exemplary. Whenever we have raised any questions or concerns the staff have been there straight away to answer us and help. Our son loves all of the staff there and has learnt many things. I would definately recommend!

Our daughter joined Greengables Nursery when she was 10 months old and we couldn't be happier with her experience. From our first initial visit, I was very impressed with Greengables. The teaching staff are fantastic and it shows in the happy faces of the children. We are regularly kept up-to-date
on the latest news, updates and changes within the nursery and I love the updates I receive via the ParentZone app. Our daughter is very happy at Greengables and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about sending their children there.

We have always been happy with the incredible welcome and care that our son has received since joining the nursery in 2018, but I wanted to take a moment to thank all of the staff who are currently working during the covid 19 pandemic. Our son is not currently in attendance but we have received regular
contact via emails, phone calls, and received home learning ideas for us which my wife has eagerly completed and shared on his parent zone app. He still asks when he will be going back which is testimony to the love and fun he has there, as we are now 6 weeks down the lockdown line. You are all fantastic and we can’t wait to get back through those doors. Keep up the incredible work you are doing!

My daughter has attended Greengables since August 2019 and has absolutely thrived. We noticed an immediate change in her behaviour and development upon starting nursery, and this has been enhanced further over the past 9-months.
The meals provided are wonderful and gives my daughter the opportunity
to try new tastes that we wouldn't ordinarily have at home.
The team are attentive, caring and knowledgeable, and I feel comfortable leaving my daughter in their care.

Amazing nursery! From the minute I sent my son to Greengables I have always felt at ease that he was well looked after. He has grown and gained confidence away from us and is now always talking about going back to nursery the next week. Everyone is informative and nothing is ever too much bother (even
throughout the current COVID19 pandemic they have been absolutely fantastic so that there’s no extra stress for us parents and especially me as a keyworker.) I cannot thank them enough for the care they have given our son and family unit and would have no problem in recommending Greengables, as I have done several times. Outstanding in our eyes.

Great nursery having sent two of my three boys there, lovely facilities and lots to do inside and out. My son loves going and it has encouraged him to try different foods, being a picky eater and is also helping his speech come along nicely.

My daughter has been attending Greengables since June 2019. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, the staff are so lovely and welcoming, they give a full handover and make me feel welcome when I come to collect my daughter and they are able to tell me what my daughter has enjoyed and taken part
in. They have built great relationships with both myself and family members which would collect my daughter. She is very happy going to any staff member.

When I first started to look for childcare for my daughter, I looked at a number of nurseries in the area and some near my work. I was so taken in by the general feel of Greengables that every time I came home and my partner said 'was it nice' I said 'yes' and he replied with 'but it's not Greengables'
and I knew in my heart of hearts it was the place for her. Now she's gone to school I can see that my decision to send her there was the best I could have made. When she graduated in August 2019, I was so proud of the young lady she had become and her confidence had grown all thanks to the wonderful staff at Greengables. Each and every member of staff is truly dedicated to providing the children with the best possible experience and preparing them for what comes next. I would recommend any parent to consider Greengables for their childcare needs.

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.
