My son has been with Our Lady's Nursery since April 2020 and my daughter has recently joined who has just turned one. I can't recommend them enough, professional and caring staff who you can trust to take exceptional care of your children throughout the day and the development activities are incredible.
It's amazing to see the confidence grow in your children with the supportive environment provided and the large outside areas for the kids to explore is a great benefit. Strongly recommend a visit if you're looking for a nursery within the Crowthorne/Berkshire area.

Lovely, friendly nursery. Staff get to know the children really well and quickly learn their own personal likes and dislikes and the way they prefer to interact with people. They do loads of activities during the day including arts and crafts, and there's a load of extra bits like dancing and mandarin.
A wonderful nursery, highly recommended.

Great place, had two children go through the nursery. Staff are excellent with children and parents. The children start their education early. Dedicated PE and ballet sessions to name a few. Keep up the good work

Our 8 month old daughter currently attends 2 days a week, and I couldn’t think of a better place for her to go. The staff are all so lovely, caring, and informative - always keeping us up to date with her progress and activities. I worried about her going to nursery from such a young age, but Our Lady’s
ensured she settled in so quickly and are happy to answer all questions which I have. She has such a great time! We chose this nursery based on the lovely staff and also the outdoor space, which we are excited for our daughter to start using once she’s more mobile.

My 17-month-old daughter has been attending Our Lady’s Nursery School for the past 5 months and I am so impressed with the nursery to date. The staff are all so friendly and caring and my daughter has developed a close bond with particular members. They have a wonderfully large outdoor play area which
my daughter loves and offer a variety of activities throughout the week such as forest school and music lessons. They also go to a huge effort to put on events that the parents can get involved in such as open days, school fetes and sports/music day. Overall I would highly recommend.

We decided to change nurseries and were able to get a spot for my son, who began attending since March 2022.
All I can say is that this is an amazing setting for him to grow and learn in. The staff are absolutely fantastic - friendly and attentive. My son looks forward to going in every day (a big
contrast to the previous place he was...).
They do lots of different activities every day and we have seen him evolve so much in the short time he's been there already.
Highly recommended!

Great personal care is provided to my daughter.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We have three children at Our Lady's Nursery School, one in each of the nursery classes; this is probably the best testament to the regard we hold it in!
Each of the classes has wonderful, friendly and caring staff. The children’s days are filled with fun, free and structured play and many activities
particularly as they get older; swimming is a real treat at the moment for our preschooler.
A significant amount of time is spent outside (including forest school) in the fantastic outdoor space.
Communication between the nursery and the parents is proactive and informative.
All in all the nursery has, and continues to, provide great care for our little ones. We wouldn’t fail to recommend it to others.

We moved to the area in September 2021 and our daughter has loved every minute since starting at Our Lady's Nursery School. We’ve found it to be a great environment for her development and making new friends locally. The staff have been fantastic, showing a genuine interest in the pupils every day and
the communication/feedback throughout has been excellent. I cannot praise Our Lady's Nursery School highly enough.

I can’t praise the nursery enough. My son has been attending since September 2020 and loves it. He has developed so much in that time and the staff have taken the time to tailor his learning to his interests. There is a great outdoor area which is perfect for my son because he likes to play outside.
Lots of activities throughout the week to keep the little ones entertained.
Staff are friendly and professional.
Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.324)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.324) out of 10 for Our Lady's Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 10 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 4.933 for Our Lady's Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 4.391 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Our Lady's Nursery School is based on 10 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 128 number of registered child places is 25.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.6 = 0.391

  • 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.
