We honestly couldn't have asked for a better nursery than Riverside. Our little one has been there for four wonderful years and is now getting ready for big school. From the very start, we've felt so supported by the amazing staff - their care, warmth, and dedication to the children is just second to
none.
The friendships our child has made, the confidence they've gained, and the kindness they've learned are all a real credit to the team at Riverside. You can genuinely see the difference it makes and it's clear how well the children from Riverside behave, and how ready they are for school life.
The staff go above and beyond, not just for the children but for the parents too, and we're so glad we trusted our instincts and chose Riverside. A huge thank you to every member of the team - especially the management and key workers whose commitment and passion truly shine through. We feel incredibly lucky and would recommend Riverside to absolutely anyone.

Amazing nursery, the staff is friendly, attentive and care for all the children amazingly well! The schools readiness programme is great for the preparing the littles ones to start school in confidence. The added bonus of swimming lessons is great for working parents (one less thing to do at the weekend).
Stunning inside/outside space. Very happy and highly recommend!

Excellent staff, extremely kind and supportive of every steps to us as first time parents, nursery located in a great location overlooking on river Thames and trees in Windsor giving children a great outdoor experience specifically in nice weather days, loads of toys indoors and outdoors with daily
updates on stuff our child was up to as notes and photos via their app.
Very happy with them and highly recommended

Our 2-year old daughter absolutely loves Riverside! She does so much learning and playing with her carers throughout the day, and we are always updated on her day and progress on the app.
The carers are all lovely and very professional and they always listen to our concerns.

The facilities are fantastic, the kids love the outdoor areas (and there's so much of it).
Both of my children are learning far more than children I know at other nurseries. The school readiness programme is also stellar.
The management and staff show great care, and they invest a LOT in their resources.
We
get regular feedback on progress and of any issues concerning our kids.
The kids eat better than their parents, and are happy to try new foods here.
The activities are lots of fun, and we thoroughly enjoy our kids giving us a review of their day.


Overall, we think this is the best nursery in our area, with caring and attentive staff. We are satisfied that our children are getting a very good education and are safe in their environment.

Riverside is a wonderful nursery. Prior to my child attending I only heard positive things which helped me choose confidently. My child has been at riverside for nearly 3 years and he absolutely loves his time there. The staff are friendly and engaging, they keep you up to date with the various activities
they have been doing throughout the day and help your child really develop.

Nursery is very attentive to my little boy! He was welcomed with open arms and he loves going! He has come along so much and is a friendly confident boy since going. The app is amazing and updates you with every detail. It also has a chat option, where you can speak to the team and managment if you
have any enquiries. We get pictures and daily updates too. All art work is kept safe and given in a folder regularly so you dont miss out. All the girls in the baby room are great! He gets a massive hello from everyone when he goes in! Also their garden space is incredible, their always outside. Glad i made the choice for nursery specially at Riverside!

All the team at Riverside Day Nursery are dedicated and fabulous while looking after my 2 year old daughter. The range of activities really aid development, a lovely balanced daily food menu and most importantly my daughter loves going to nursery. We are kept updated on her progress and the staff are
always available to discuss any aspect. A fantastic team who love what they do! As we all know, child care is not the cheapest, however Riverside Day nursery fees are very reasonable for the area

Riverside is an incredible nursery. The staff are kind and considerate and approachable. You feel safe to leave your children at the nursery. The readiness programme has been well designed and there is thought and consideration in all that they do. Thankyou each day for being a part of our journey.

Fantastic nursery. Our son has been going for four years and is starting school this year. The nurturing, care and development from the staff at Riverside has been exemplary. The children have built amazing friendships and the behaviour of all the children at events outside preschool is noticeable that
they have attended Riverside.
The staff go above and beyond with both the children and the parents and we are so lucky to have gone with our gut feeling and chosen Riverside. The children are ready for big school having had such a good start.
Would recommend Riverside to everyone and seeing the children who have been to Riverside interacting with those at different nurseries you can really see a difference in behaviour and confidence. Thank you so much to all the teachers and the manager who is amazing and needs recognition for her dedication to both the children and parents.

What an excellent nursery. My child has been there for two years. Watching him grow and learn has been inspiring. He is now competent and independent in most daily tasks. He can count and knows his alphabet. He wouldn't be where he is now without the nursery.

Our son has been going to Riverside since he was 11 months old. We can honestly say we have valued the care and attention that has been shown to him throughout his time at the nursery. He has developed brilliantly and we really appreciate the extracurricular activities the nursery holds. He will be
going to swimming classes soon, the kids feed the ducks on occasion, yoga, the list is endless.
The socials the team holds for the parents are also really valued.

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to put my children at Riverside Day Nursery. I've been a parent here since 2018 and my children have all loved it so much. The teachers and care workers are fantastic, the management is exceptional and the environment is fun, clean, well-organised and nurturing. All
in all a fantastic setting for children with the added bonus of swimming lessons for the older kids!

Absolutely amazing Nursery/Preschool. I went for Riverside based on a quick Google review search and it did not disappoint. Called the lovely manager, visited the nursery the same day and submitted my application in that same afternoon. I fell in love with it, as did my daughter. She just settled in
so well! Over the years (she is going to be 5 in September), my daughter has thrived at Riverside and she has a special bond with many of her key workers and made some lovely friends. She does Spanish, has yoga, and goes swimming once a week!
She will be starting school in September and I am sad that she will be leaving. She is going to miss it very much. We loved it so much that our son is due to start in a few weeks and he cannot wait! She is looking forward to still seeing the wonderful staff on pick-ups and drop-offs. Thank you for being amazing, Riverside.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor 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 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 4.954 for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.954

  • 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 The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, 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.
