Such a lovely nursery! My little boy settled so well and enjoys it so much, always coming home to tell me all the fun he got up to. He has come on so much with his speech since starting and they have toilet-trained him too which saved me a big job! All staff are lovely and welcoming and the nursery
is always doing lovely gestures for the children. I think at the moment my little boy's favourite is the hot chocolate treat from the hot drink stand. Thank you to all the staff at Elm House and the manager for making my little boys' nursery experience the best.

Nursery are great. My daughter is very happy there and has great relationships with the staff. It's obvious how much they care for her wellbeing. She learns so much when at nursery, she blows me away with her knowledge of the world, events, festivals and life in general. She's been attending nursery
now for coming up to 2 years and her development has come on so well. Nursery staff are always responsive and happy to help.

The nursery and staff are brilliant. Very attentive and the app provides so much comfort. Very glad we were able to secure a spot and our little one loves it in there. You can tell the staff care for the kids on their care so we couldn't s asked for a better nursery.

Since our little one started at this nursery he has come on leaps and bounds. He is encouraged by the team to develop and try new things and we get regular progress updates from his key worker. It's a weight off our chest knowing we don't need to worry about him while he's safe at nursery

My little boy started with Elm House in October and I was really nervous to send him. The staff have made this transition into nursery so easy, they have been great, they've stayed in touch with updates they've reassured me (which has been needed!) and although it's took a little while for him to settle
he has and that is literally down the the staff. Special mention to his key worker she has been amazing, the care that is given to my little boy is just fantastic and has massively settled my very big nerves! Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone. The management team are so friendly and it's just nice to know that he is around lovely people. Thanks very much to everyone!

We would highly recommend this nursery. Since we moved our son there he has developed so much and he loves going in each day. The staff all know him really well and we get a detailed handover at the end of the day. The app is great and we get regular updates on all the different activities the children
do each day.

A lovely nursery made by the excellent staff. Both my daughters have attended and I am really happy with their learning. The managers are great if you ever have a question they respond quickly and get it sorted straight away. My eldest made really good progress in Preschool and got her ready to start
school thanks to her Key Worker. The staff are really caring and always make the children feel special.

Fantastic nursery made by the amazing staff. Our little girl is so happy to attend and settled in really well into the baby room. You are updated regularly about what your child has done throughout the day and it is lovely to see all the photos of the activities they have completed together. Our daughter
loves nursery so much.

A lovely place to send your child. My daughter is now 4 and been there since she was 10 months old and loves the place and the staff there. Always go out their way to improve her skills and language and always quick to let me know how well she is doing while in their care.

Our experience with Elm House (Gateacre) Nursery has been brilliant. From the moment our son started attending in May 2023, we were impressed by the warm, nurturing environment and the dedicated, caring staff. They genuinely care about each child's development and go above and beyond to create a fun
and educational atmosphere. Our son has thrived in this setting, making significant progress in his social skills, communication, and learning.
The open communication between the staff and parents via the app is another highlight. We receive regular updates and photos, which keep us informed and connected to our son's daily experiences.
We would highly recommend Elm House (Gateacre) Nursery to any parent.

I have two children at the nursery and can honestly say that all the staff are proactive in supporting the development of my children. My children are both English Additional Language speakers and the nursery have accommodated this in their wall displays and books. They have also invited me in to read
to the children which really boosted my daughter's confidence and pride in her identity. My other child has learning delays and staff have actively sought out Continuing Professional Development to support his needs and invite outside experts to assess where both home and nursery can support my son with early intervention strategies. Cannot recommend this nursery enough!

More than happy with my choice of nursery. My child is coming along so much in a short space of time, using a ton of new words and some new Makaton signs, always bringing things home from the activities they do.
I am very pleased.

We couldn’t be happier with our nursery choice for our little girl. She transitioned from another nursery a month ago, and we were worried about how she’d settle, but the team at Elm House have been incredible, and she absolutely loves going to the nursery now. She often comes home with paintings or
drawings that she’s done during the day; we get regular photo updates and are kept up to date on her food/naps etc, via the app.
The facilities are lovely. We really liked the large outside space a lot.
Would highly recommend Elm House!

The staff and manager/owner have been so supportive of my two grandchildren one of whom has special needs.
They have worked on an individual basis and delivered child-centred programmes to help my grandson improve his speech, eye contact, motor skills and education.
They have been patient kind and
caring.
I can't praise them enough.
They have also supported my daughter in her trying to meet milestones.
This is an excellent nurturing educational environment where children are treated as individuals and supported to fulfil their potential. I wish all nurseries were as good as Elm House Gateacre.
Thank you so much.

Can’t rave about this nursery enough. My son started last September after being moved from another nursery. I was worried about his transition but after one day he was so settled, no crying going in and the staff were so reassuring.
The staff have gone over and above to support us over the last year
with his speech delay and some other observations about his behaviours. We now have early intervention to get him the support needed both at home and in nursery.
They have also provided support for myself and always take the time to check in with me at the end of the day when I pick him up.
The app is great as well so I can keep track of what’s been eaten and how much sleep he’s had plus the lovely pictures and updates of his day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.949 for Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre is based on 18 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
