Best nursery around! My son tried another local nursery and was left crying (they didn't even call me). I pulled him out and moved him to Greengables. Every single member of staff is amazing! They go out of their way to make sure each child is looked after and happy. My son took a liking to the coach
who comes in once a week. I will be sad when he goes to big school.

Our eldest child attended Greengables Day Nursery and was very happy there. The grounding it gave him helped him make a happy, settled transition to infant school. Our youngest child now attends on 3 days a week and loves his time in the pre-school. He talks enthusiastically about his experiences and
is clearly engaged and motivated by the well planned and structured activities, within the lively and stimulating environment.


We cannot speak highly enough about the staff, who always genuinely care about our children, for example when our youngest son was off having been seriously ill on holiday, he received a lovely card and the warmest of welcomes back to put his and our minds at rest.


Staff communicate effectively and are always approachable and friendly. We like the extra events, such as sports days and fetes, which create a great sense of community.
We would unreservedly recommend Greengables to prospective parents, as our children love their time there.

We are absolutely thrilled with how well our children (age two and three) have settled into Greengables. The environment is bright and engaging and the staff are so kind and caring. The food provided is also of the highest standard and a well-balanced range of foods. My daughter also has a milk allergy
which is well catered for.


Our son is excited to go to Preschool every day, where we used to have a battle each morning to get him to his previous setting. He is also a member of the Eco School Committee which he loves!
Our daughter's speech has literally doubled in a matter of weeks and she has started eating food she had never even considered trying before. She has gone from the worlds fussiest eater to giving everything a go. She seems to be really responding to the gentle methods of play and teaching used.


Overall we would highly recommend Greengables to parents looking for a childcare setting for their child.

My son has just finished at Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor) to go on to school. He has been going to the nursery since he was 11 months old and will certainly miss attending. My son fully enjoyed his time at the nursery and was supported by fantastic staff throughout his time there.
All staff are
approachable and friendly and as a parent, I was completely happy with the care my child received while in the nursery. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Greengables is a fantastic play environment, for all ages. My two children have loved their time at the nursery and developed so much since starting. My daughter has been fully prepared for her transition to "big" school and has, I feel, been put in the best possible position moving forward. Each day
both of my children brought home art work and tales of activities they had done and I can't thank the staff enough for all their help and support over the years.

My daughter has been coming to Greengables since she was nine months old. This is her last month here and even though I am excited for her to start school, I will and my daughter will truly miss this place. They have been fantastic, given my daughter the best start to life. They have been so helpful
with everything, always friendly and have made some great memories to treasure.
I would always recommend this place to anyone.

From day one, we were always made to feel very welcome as a family. All the staff seem to really take an interest in my daughter and took the time getting to know her, which now results in her being a very happy, confident little lady at nursery.


They have helped continue the potty training we

had started at home and when having to exclude certain foods from her diet during a flare up of her eczema, it was never seen to be an issue.
The nursery have always been very accommodating with everything!


I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Thank you for making it all easier for an initially anxious mummy!

Greengables Day Nursery, a fantastic place for all children.
I have two children (ages 1 and 3) that attend here and both love going. They get so much out of it, always coming home full of different things they have made and learnt.
The staff are amazing, they always find the time to discuss how
my children have been that day, what they have been up to and what they are working on. There is also parent zone so I can see for myself where they are with their development. If I want more development tools for my children the staff are happy to provide this and talk me through it.
The facilities are really good, with lovely outside spaces for the children of different ages to play in.
The food is fantastic with a wide variety of different meals, my children always seem to eat everything there!

My daughter started going to Greengables when she was 6 months old. I do not have any family close by and Greengables and the staff have been an amazing support and offered my daughter the best possible start to her educational journey. I am delighted that my daughter attends the nursery and I would
not dream of sending her to any other nursery in the area. All of the management team are approachable and always greet me and my husband every time we enter the building. Although our daughter only attends one day a week we are treated as part of the Greengables family and I will be so sad when my daughter is too old to go there.
The place is excellent, I could not be a more contented parent to send my daughter there.


Thank you Greengables Owlsmoor.

All the staff are very friendly and seem to know my son by name. We are greeted on arrival every morning with a smile and a cheery attitude. The variety of activities is excellent and the frequency of artistic creations to bring home is high. My son loves attending nursery and this is evident in the
regular updates (including pictures) on the app provided. It's really nice to see how he is progressing against key markers and what the plans are to aid his further development. I can't fault them.

I can not thank the staff at Greengables enough for the help, support and kindness of every staff member I've met. My children are 4 and almost 3 and have both been attending the setting since they were both 8.5 months old.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with children within the age
that could attend and have done so in the past. I will be so sad for my children to leave Greengables, they have grown and learnt so much since they have been there.

My 20-month-old daughter started going to the nursery only 2 months. This nursery is very spacious and has lots of activities happening. My daughter loves her prime carer and it makes me very happy to see her going to nursery in all smiles. All other carers seem to be pleasant and always smiling. I
like that they even give a late evening snack for children who get picked up late. Can say my little one is defiantly being taken care of, enjoying and making friends while learning lots of new things.

Our little boy has been with Greengables Day Nursery for just over 6 months and we have been so impressed with the staff there. Our son is just coming up two at the end of the month and he has completely flourished since being at the Nursery. The staff are kind, empathic and extremely good at communicating
all aspects of your child's day with you. We have felt thoroughly supported as new parents and feel completely comfortable to ask advice at any time.


I would 100% recommend this Nursery to any parent who wishes their child to be in a caring safe and stimulating environment.

We cannot praise Greengables enough! Our little boy started at the nursery in Oct 2016 and he has been so happy! It's so lovely as a Mum to leave your little one happy knowing that he is in safe hands. The Staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. The Nursery itself is
clean, fresh and vibrant and most importantly has such a happy atmosphere. It's a wonderful place for little ones.

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.
