I couldn't be happier at Old MacDonald's! It's an exceptional place for my son! He has been attending for over a year, and it's incredible to see how much he has blossomed since joining. The staff are warm, caring, and truly invested in each child's growth, which really puts my mind at ease.
One of
the standout features for me is their app, which provides regular updates, photos, and insights into his day. It's such a joy to see snapshots of his activities, from creative arts to outdoor play, and it keeps me connected to his experience even when I'm not there.
My son is thriving here - he's learning new things every day and developing wonderful friendships. His confidence and social skills have grown so much, and I attribute a lot of this to the nurturing environment they provide. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a supportive, enriching, and fun place for him to learn and grow. I highly recommend Old MacDonald's Day Nursery to any parent!

We can not put into words how amazing this nursery is! The staff's professionalism is outstanding! From reassuring nervous parents to great communication. Communication in regards to updates on sickness or your child's well-being is always dealt with with such empathy. The app is filled with amazing
pictures nearly every day but staff still find the time to verbal feedback to you at pick-up. Our daughter runs into the nursery and leaves asking to go back for longer. Her speech has come on leaps and bounds with her report leveling her at greater depth. The learning activities they provide are on another level! The nursery finds all possible ways to involve working parents with stay-and-play dates after 3 pm and late parent evenings that include raffle prizes! I think a nursery speaks volumes when a 2-year-old is able to name all the staff in its facility. It's also nice to see management in rooms too! A huge thank you to Old Mac Leverstock and all the hard work you have put in! We're so happy!

So happy with the care that this nursery and all the staff provide. Leaving your child at nursery I'm sure can be a worrying time for some parents but I never had any concerns. The staff have all been amazing and my daughter, who has been going since she was 3 months old obviously loves the staff and
is so comfortable with them- her face lights up each morning as they come to take her in.
Communication is fantastic. Any queries are responded to quickly and they don't hesitate to call if needed for any reason. Old MacDonald's has become a 2nd family to my daughter. Thank you!

We're coming up to a year of having our little girl at Old MacDonald's and wouldn't send her anywhere else. The staff are all so caring and she loves her nursery days. She has learned so much from being there and been exposed to so many new things that I as a mum would never think to do. I will definitely
be sending her little sister along when she's old enough!

I would like to say that my child has had the best time with you and it's been the best thing for her. She has been so happy with you all and has loved her time with you. The time that she has been with you we have seen her come on and be so much more. It has made her come into her own it's so lovely
and for a working mum knowing your child has the best day is so amazing. The staff or as she says the teachers are just so amazing and lovely thank you.
She will be going to school, and we hope that they can carry on the amazing work that you have done with her.

Reply from David Selwood, Director at Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Leverstock Green

They have good learning and achievement charts. Very clean tidy and generally no complaints. Would recommend. Internally well decorated.

We pulled our son out of a different nursery when Old MacDonald's opened and I can tell you this nursery is worlds apart from my son‘s previous setting. The staff are incredibly caring, my son runs into the nursery and runs out with a smile on his face. The children have loads of outside time which
I absolutely love and I can honestly say every member of staff has been wonderful.

My son is really enjoying Old MacDonald, the staff are all so lovely and always give feedback after every collection and via email. The nursery is clean and spacious. From visiting other nurseries, I found that Old MacDonald felt like a more relaxed environment which is what I was looking for.

My son started here at the age of 13 months in May 2023. Being a first-time mum, I was so stressed about sending him to nursery and went to see so many. The moment we saw Old Macdonald’s in Leverstock Green we fell in love, it is honestly beautiful and we especially loved the garden and soft play. Since
starting nursery my son settled in so well. He is now almost 2 and comes home every day saying he misses nursery. The staff are beyond caring and always a call away. They communicate so well and have stay-and-play sessions to allow us to see firsthand the care that they provide. My son absolutely loves the food, naps well, and has created bonds with all the staff. It’s incredible to see how much he has learned with the various activities that they spend so much thought into organising. He started off in the baby room here and has since blossomed into such a caring, smart and confident boy. If you’re looking for a nursery, don’t hesitate to send your child here. Couldn’t be happier with our choice!

The staff at Old MacDonald Nursery are not just caregivers; they are nurturing, experienced professionals who genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. From the warm welcome we received on our first visit to the daily updates about our daughter’s activities, we always felt informed
and involved.
Our daughter has learned so much during her time here, from basic language and numeracy skills to social interaction and problem-solving.
it’s a second home for our daughter, where she feels safe, loved, and supported as she grows and learns.

My daughter has been attending Old MacDonald’s Day Nursery Leverstock Green for nearly a year now and has recently moved into the pre-school group. My daughter goes in happy and comes out smiling and telling me what she has learnt that day, she can’t wait to show me all the things she has created. The
staff are caring, friendly and helpful and they always go above and beyond if you do have any issues. The nursery is very well equipped and have a lovely garden and soft play area. Throughout the year they have several stay and play sessions to get the parents involved and it's lovely to have a sneak peek into what your child has been up to and gives you a chance to meet the other parents. I would highly recommend Old MacDonalds Day Nursery to anyone.

Our son joined Old McDonald’s in October, he absolutely loves it so excited every time he goes. The staff are very caring and patient. He is very much at home. The updates on his development are a good indication of his progress as he grows into a little boy during his time at Old McDonald’s. We can’t
recommend it enough.

My daughter has attended Old Mac’s since she was 18 months. We are so happy with the care she receives. She is now 3 and a half and is thriving, happy and meeting all expected milestones. The facilities are beautiful and clean. She eats all the meals cooked freshly on-site. We have already signed up
our newborn to start later in the year.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Leverstock Green 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.964 for Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Leverstock Green is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Leverstock Green is based on 14 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.875

  • 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.
