Amazing nursery and team at Shirley Green Day Nursery.
We moved our little boy here in Jan 2025 from another nursery that he attended since he was a baby, where his elder brother attended previously.
Shirley Green offered a handful of settling in sessions throughout the month of December which was
great as other nurseries offer 2 or 3 sessions. Our little boy who is 2 has grown in confidence since joining this year, his speech has developed and he is also fully potty trained within the first 6 week of being at nursery.
The nursery itself is very modern and spacious with plenty of activities for the kids to do. As for the staff, they have been super and supportive throughout. The app that the nursery use is brilliant, previously as we have used other apps to update you throughout the day, and the team provide photos throughout the day which we think is brilliant. Definitely recommended this nursery.

As a mother of two children attending this nursery-one in the toddler group and the other in the preschool group-I am extremely happy with the care and attention they receive. The staff is wonderful at recognizing each child's individual interests and using them to help them engage with others through
activities.
In the toddler group, the care and affection provided create an excellent transition from home to nursery, making it a comforting and nurturing environment. Meanwhile, in the preschool group, the daily activities and outdoor playtime encourage the children to explore, learn, and grow every day.
We are very satisfied with our experience and truly appreciate the dedication of the team!

This nursery which has become a second home for our family is exceptional. The staff are incredibly kind and caring, forming genuine bonds with the children and creating a warm, nurturing environment. Their focus on learning through play is outstanding, allowing my son to thrive in a fun, engaging way.
The nursery is beautifully designed, equipped with everything a child needs. The outdoor garden is fantastic for imaginative play, complemented by extensive rugby club grounds for active fun.
What truly sets this nursery apart is the staff's exceptional responsiveness; any queries are addressed promptly, providing peace of mind. Since my son started attending in summer 2024, he has been extremely happy, always excited about what he has learned and the friends he has made. Overall, this nursery is amazing, and I couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful experiences

Very nice staff who really looks after your kids. However senior management not so friendly .
When I sent my daughter there I saw a very nice atmosphere but when I decided to take her out due to personal reasons I was ignored, not replied to and their attitude and tone changed completely.
For me
when you leave it should be on good terms and no one has the right to make anyone feel stressed, but they did. As I paid, I had the right to ask questions and they should have called me back as promised many times but that didn't happen. However I received the invoice from the same member.
Anyway that's unfair comment to the rest of the lovely team they have.

My daughter has been at Shirley Green Nursery for 3 months now and I have no complaints. The nursery itself is brand new and very nice and modern and clean with large rooms and a lovely outdoor area. Due to the nursery being less than a year old there are much smaller numbers of children in the rooms
compared to other nurseries which for me is a positive. However as the nursery grows in popularity this will change but is to be expected. The staff are all lovely and I feel that they really know the children. The app is updated regularly throughout the day and with photos most days. They also offer NHS discount which is a big help.

My child has been attending for about a month now. We can not fault the nursery or the staff.
The rooms are spacious and clean and have lots of natural items to play with, which we prefer rather than plastic.
The outdoor space is lovely and we love the fact that the children play outside in all weather,
which was really important for us, they can also use the rugby field which is great.
The app is great and updated throughout the day.
The staff are so lovely and caring, they really do listen to you about your child's needs.
The only issue for us is the menu, it's only a 2-week menu and it has a couple of the same kind of foods repeated, there are other food groups which could be included to give more variety and to be more in keeping with some of the children's traditional diets.
All the other nurseries have a 3-week menu and have more variety, so it could be implemented here.
We will see how it goes, although that is the only issue it is quite a big issue for us personally.

Reply from Denise Patton, Deputy Manager at Shirley Green Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled that you and your child are enjoying the nursery environment, outdoor play, and our caring team. It's wonderful to know that our natural play items and all-weather approach resonate with what you're looking for. We appreciate your feedback on the menu. Our two-week menu is designed to serve all nine of our nurseries, which requires thoughtful planning and consistency across locations. Balancing variety with practicality is a priority, and we're always open to suggestions. If you'd like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out-we value open communication and are committed to providing the best experience for your family. Thank you again for your kind words and for entrusting us with your child's care!

Shirley Green Day Nursery is such a lovely warm and kind nursery. It is welcoming, the staff are wonderful and trustworthy. They have a system that keeps you updated with your child throughout the day. The rooms are spacious, clean and fresh. The outdoor space is lovely and includes a big field for
the children to explore more. They also offer a variety of different foods for the children to try, which makes me and my family very happy.

My daughter started her nursery around a month ago and she is enjoying it a lot. The staff are fantastic and they always listen to your child's needs. All of the fun activities and beautiful park games keep her busy all day.
We had tried other nurseries before but she wasn't settling, ever since she
started Shirley Green she absolutely loves it and as a parent, it's the most satisfying thing. Thank you very much to everyone for looking after our little one and taking extra care of her.

My daughter has been attending Shirley Green Nursery for around a month now and I cannot say a bad word about the setting or the staff. The setting is beautiful with large open rooms for the children to explore. The outdoor space is superior to any other nursery we looked at, not only do they have an
enclosed play area but also access to the rugby fields so the little ones can really burn off some energy. The staff are amazing, they're all so caring and my daughter has built solid relationships with all of them already, we never have a problem with her going into nursery, often runs off saying 'bye mommy' without looking back. The app is regularly updated throughout the day with photos and detailed explanations of what she has been up to during the day. The activities are so creative and beneficial to child development. I couldn't be happier with the care at Shirley Green, leaving your little one is so much easier when they actually ask to go to nursery in the mornings!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.213)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.213) out of 10 for Shirley Green Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.750 for Shirley Green Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.75

  • 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 4.463 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Shirley Green Day Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.563

  • 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.
