Review from Harps A (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter attended this nursery for just under a year, and sadly had to leave last week as we have moved to a different city. She was 1 when she started and loved nursery, she turned from a baby into a confident, curious and playful toddler whilst here. The staff are all so welcoming and we loved
the emphasis on training at the nursery. It's a small setting with a lovely garden and fun activities every day. Many of our daughters first words were the names of staff which she loves to say every day! Special thanks to the owners who made us and our daughter feel so welcome and for providing this homely nursery in the community for nearly 30 years. We'll miss you all!

Review from M A (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I have two children that attended the nursery for approaching two years. The owner took over management after the previous manager left. I raised in an email that the Ofsted framework had not been followed regarding their decisions after a behaviour incident. I also raised that it was inappropriate
that my child be called wicked. I was called into a meeting the same day on pick up with no notice, where the owner defended her use of the word wicked, got cross about me mentioning Ofsted and then told me to remove both of my children immediately and never come back.
This is massively traumatic for the children and again doesn't follow the Ofsted framework. I have reported them to Ofsted, the council and my MP because children shouldn't be treated in this way because a parent asked some questions. Wanted to share my experience before you put your child here.
Reply from Ellen Olliffe, Owner at Grove Park Pre-School and Day Nursery
Several inaccuracies need to be addressed in this review:1. No child has ever been, or ever would be called "wicked" at this nursery; 2. The parent requested the meeting in a phone call during the…read more

Review from Annmarie A (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined the setting when she was almost 3 years old and immediately settled in well. She formed an amazing bond with her key person who she could not stop talking about. She transformed from a shy little girl to a very confident, chatty and playful girl in the setting. My husband and I particularly
loved the variety of activities the children engage in, from weekly French and Yoga lessons to tea parties, fancy dress, etc. We loved how the kids' interests were supported e.g. my daughter loves drawing and mark-making and was confidently writing various letters of the alphabet within her first month (e.g. she would write the letter A and say 'Mummy, an A is up, down and across!'). The manager is so friendly, informative and understanding, as are all the staff I encountered! The parent app is amazing and is updated every day without fail which is great. I could go on and on, but will end by saying that I highly recommend Grove Park Nursery and Pre-school!

Current Review Score: 7.3 (7.346)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.3 (7.346) out of 10 for Grove Park Pre-School and Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 3.943 for Grove Park Pre-School and Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 3.943
  2. 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 3.403 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grove Park Pre-School and Day Nursery is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.125
    2. 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.278
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
