My little boy loves his nursery. He has developed a lot since he started.
The staff is great. Seems they are happy to facilitate a lot of activities for children throughout the day. I can recommend this nursery to all parents.

Brilliant nursery, my child loves it here. Staff are lovely, always listen to you when you have a concern. Brilliant atmosphere, my child is learning loads and coming home very happy. Only thing I would like to suggest is more stay-and-play sessions preferably in the afternoon

My daughter had attended Sherwood Green Nursery since being 6 months old and she is now 3 years old, her learning and development has grown so much through the years. She has grown to be able to do tasks herself such as dressing, daily care, tidying, brain skills and daily tasks. Her learning is outstanding.
She can count to 20+ at 3 years and to me as a father that's a massive step. The nursery is so fit for not only my daughter but other children there, the setting is perfect. Staff are brilliant and always keep you updated with day-to-day activities, general meal times and events they put on throughout the year. Amazing overall and I would recommend this nursery to any parent.

The best nursery in Bradford!
I couldn't be happier with the care and support my child receives at Sherwood Green Nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing, so kind, professional, and genuinely caring. My son loves going to nursery and has made incredible progress since starting. The activities they
provide are unlike anything I've seen before, creative, engaging, and tailored to help children learn and grow in such a fun way. A special thank you to two particular staff members, for always going above and beyond for the children. Your dedication and love truly make a difference!
Highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe and inspiring environment for their child.

A great, accommodating and supportive nursery. A special thanks to one staff member in particular who is always supportive and fits the children in, a great manager. The children also love the nursery and speak well of this particular staff member.

Such an amazing homely friendly and professional nursery. My daughter started in August when she was 10 months old. The way everyone made her feel comfortable and went out of their ways to make her feel content. She loves going in all smiles and excited. She has learnt so much from being at this nursery.
I love how I get regular updates including pictures of her playing. I also appreciate how much time and effort they put in when feeding her.
Amazing nursery highly recommend.

I am not 100 per cent satisfied with the care my child with additional needs received. Not much interaction with children from staff. Hardly any informative communication from the staff when picking the child up.
Great facilities and equipment though.

Additionally, we utilize our parent app to ensure you are kept informed about your child's day, including details about what they have eaten and the activities they participated in. We take the well-being of all the children in our care very seriously and strive to provide a supportive environment. We have taken proactive steps to support your child by applying for an Educational Health Care Plan, which demonstrates our dedication to his long-term development and well-being. We are dedicated to continuous improvement and ensuring that all children receive the best possible care and that everyone feels fully informed and supported.

We had a fantastic experience at this nursery! My twins always looked forward to their time there, and it was a joy to see them so happy and excited each day. The staff were incredibly considerate and attentive to the needs of the children.
What impressed us the most was the management's responsiveness
and flexibility. They accommodated all our requests on short notice, making us feel valued and supported.
I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing and dynamic environment for their children. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our experience so positive and memorable.

I found the nursery to be very welcoming, the staff are kind and considerate and do their best to keep things up to date. Love all the different cultures shown to the children and the events they do to celebrate special occasions in and around different cultures giving children the knowledge to accept
different ways of living. The love and support they showed us as a family due to the loss of grandchild's mummy went above and beyond they did everything possible to help us at such a difficult time in our lives and will never be forgotten. Can never thank the staff enough for their duty of care. I wish you all the very best for the future and a massive thank you to each and every one of you.

As a mum who works in a nursery herself, I would highly recommend this place to many other people. My most favourite thing about this nursery is that you have taught my son to be very independent e.g. eating by himself, helping him talk and last but not least making him walk. I would highly recommend
this nursery to everyone I could possibly tell.

Our son has been attending Sherwood Green Nursery for the last three years. With the support and guidance of the staff, he really has developed into a very bright and intelligent 4-year-old, so ready for a big school! It has definitely been his second home he loved coming back to every day. We could
not have wished for a better place for him or a more caring group of staff. Thank you for everything you have done.

Really wonderful experience with the nursery. Attentive staff that made going from home to the school a constantly blissful episode for my daughter. I observed first-hand her development within a short duration; I can say I was truly impressed and satisfied with our decision. Keep up with the good work!

children thrive, learn, and are genuinely cared for. We highly recommend it to any parent seeking a supportive, engaging, and enriching environment for their child’s early years.

My nephew has improved so much by being at this nursery - his vocabulary. He enjoys coming to nursery. He likes eating all his vegetables, as before, he was a picky eater.
I enjoy the feedback I receive from the staff at the end of the day. I am happy with the staff, as they make me feel at ease as
they update me. I'm very happy with Sherwood Green Nursery.

My son started attending nursery in January 2024, I was very reluctant and nervous because my son has never been away from me, however, the staff have been amazing and welcoming and helped my boy settle in really quickly. My son adores his key worker who goes over and beyond to make him feel safe and
welcome. My son really enjoys going to nursery now.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.903)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.903) out of 10 for Sherwood Green Nursery 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 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.903 for Sherwood Green Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (591 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 638 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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 Sherwood Green Nursery is based on 53 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 53 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.
