We moved from Norway to Twyford at the beginning of this year. As my son was used to attending a Norwegian kindergarten where the children play outside for at least 4 hours a day no matter the weather, I was so pleased to find Cedar Park with its excellent outside facilities and its focus on forest
school and outside learning. The classrooms are large, full of interesting activities and play areas and the children can play outside anytime they like. We always get a good debrief of what our son has been up to at the end of each day along with his nap time and how well he has eaten. The food is wholesome and nutritious with lots of variation. I would highly recommend the nursery.

My son loves attending Cedar Park Nursery, both my husband and I are very happy with his progression while he has been attending.
He really likes spending time with his keyworker and all the other staff within his room.
We chose CP because of the great outdoor spaces and decked areas with sand pits
etc, and he has really enjoyed playing outside over the summer months.

The outside space is second to none and they make great use of it - from Olympic-themed sports events to bug hunts to growing beans.


They are excellent at keeping in touch and ensuring that we are sharing information on my child's development. Things like parent first aid training and socials are

lovely touches too and give a genuine family feel, it doesn't feel like part of a big chain.


My work hours can vary and the management team are wonderful about trying to accommodate extra days when they can. At times the early drop-off or late pick-up compared to other nurseries has totally saved the day.


The thing that makes me recommend them so highly, more than any of the practicalities above, is the genuine care, enthusiasm, and support shown by every member of the team. My daughter thinks they are all wonderful. They take real pride in her development, and always find time to talk about anything that we need to discuss. Worth every penny.

Would definitely recommend this nursery. My daughter has been attending this nursery for over a year now on a full- time basis . The staff take good care of the children and have been very supportive during the settling in phase. It is a very safe environment and we love the outdoor space which keeps
children active. Children learn a lot through the day here and all look very happy! My daughter enjoys her time here and that what matters the most!

My daughter has attended Cedar Park Day Nursery for 3 years and we have been so happy with the care she has received there. All the staff are educated, caring and thoughtful and we are so grateful to them for looking after her from 15months to 4 1/2 years old through the different developmental stages
and keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. She has loved going to nursery and it is a credit to Cedar Park Day Nursery that she will now be starting school with social confidence, an ability to listen to teachers, and be inquiring and interested in the world around her. On a practical level, the meals are exceptional, the feedback is thorough, activities are inspired, and staff are all incredibly competent. I would recommend Cedar Park without a doubt to all parents who would want only the very best for their child.

Cedar park is beautiful. In my personal opinion it's a whole world above many others. From our very first initial visit we felt comfortable and excited for the new adventure before us. The meals the children are provided with are full hearty healthy dinners which I found massively impressive. The industrial
kitchen just tops the place off. Massive rooms full of everything your child could desire and not to even mention the massive outdoor space that your children had to run and explore in the garden. The nursery is remarkable and we feel so very blessed to part of the Cedar Park family.

On the face of it most nurseries have good standards obviously, but what's additionally important to us and makes Cedar Park a great place for our child is the genuinely happy and caring team of staff across the whole site. The nutritious and wholesome cooked food, and the location/site/building. Also
feel an interesting place for our child to learn.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Cedar Park in July 2015. She was 9 months old at the time and was the youngest in the baby room. Leaving my daughter at nursery and going back to work full time was one of the hardest things I have dome but the staff at Cedar Park could not have provided me with more support and
help. They were simply amazing and even when my daughter was going through a difficult patch at the start, the staff were so reassuring and calm.
My daughter absolutely loves going to Cedar Park now and she has formed such strong bonds with the staff in the baby room. I couldn't feel happier with the experience I've had at Cedar Park and would highly recommend it!

The staff in the baby room (Caterpillars) have been amazing at settling my daughter into the nursery. She was a little bit unsettled in her first two weeks when I dropped her off in the mornings, but after lots of work and patience by the staff she now is very happy going to them, which as a mother
is a relief! She has a great nursery routine now, sleeps very well during the day, really enjoys playing there and eats very well. She is developing very quickly and this is in part due to the varied activities provided in the room. She and I are very happy at Cedar Park.

After having my first teacher consultation at my sons school he was commended for being enthusiastic and excellent at letters and now has started some reading. I think a lot of this is the dedication and enthusiasm that his teachers at the nursery showed and made sure the children were well versed in
phonics before starting school. Thank you to all staff as both my children have been flourishing at school in no small part due to the excellent grounding they have received at Cedar Park.
Well done and I will most certainly be recommending you on Henley Parents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 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 4.878 for Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford) is calculated as follows: ( (257 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.878
  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 4.93 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cedar Park Day Nursery (Twyford) is based on 24 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 129 number of registered child places is 25.8. 24 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.8 = 0.93
  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.
