Rated Good by Ofsted (May 2018), Poppies Holmer Green has been offering high quality childcare for local families since opening in 2015. The setting caters for children aged from 3 months to 5 years old and strives to offer a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Inside the nursery, you’ll find a spacious setting jam packed with resources to encourage children’s development whilst keeping them engaged and curious. Outside, there is a great garden space offering children plenty of opportunity to engage with the natural world. From the mud kitchen to the nature area, there is something for every child to explore.

Working closely with parents and families, the team work hard to support children’s learning and development from the time they join the nursery to when they are ready to move on to school. As well as promoting learning and development, they also strive to equip children with confidence and independence that will see them through the rest of their lives.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both our boys love Poppies Holmer Green.
With great care provided and friendly staff, I can't fault anything. I go to work knowing they are in safe hands.
The staff have worked tirelessly to improve it since taking over and the refurb of nursery class plus the fantastic outside space make this a great
nursery. The variety of food is excellent and range of other activities such as the sports and music class are definitely a bonus.
We receive detailed handovers each evening and feel every one of the staff takes an active interest in our boys.
Keep up the good work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Poppies in Holmer Green is a lovely nursery and my daughter loves it. She's a busy girl who loves all the different activities they do.
The outside area has recently been refurbished and is a fantastic space for the children to play and get some fresh air.
The food choices are varied and healthy
and I have peace of mind knowing that she has formed a special bond with the key carers in the baby nest that look after her.

Staff are friendly, although a very high turnover of staff which has been slightly unsettling. Slight lack of communication and presence from management but overall, good care of my child and he is making good progress and is happy. Love the new garden.

Review from Kerri F (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started at Poppies in September 2016 having moved as newcomers to the area. She was welcomed with open arms and soon formed friends with both the children and staff. She has an absolute blast and her key skills are developing beautifully.
We have seen her confidence grow as well as her
appetite (she loves the food and the variety is super and wholesome with occasional treats)
We are really pleased with the variety of activities from cultural and art to physical, that she is exposed to. The staff are all very professional and friendly and were a huge support when I experienced some serious health issues.
The team there is dedicated both to the children and the parents and from Day 1, I had the utmost confidence that my child would be safe, nurtured and educated.

Review from Fay L (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was very clingy when she started nursery in November 2015, but the staff were absolutely excellent at settling her in and getting to know her. I am so grateful to them as she now loves the staff and the activities and gets very excited when we walk into the nursery in the morning.


The

staff and management are excellent and they have big plans for the transforming the nursery building as well as all the structured activities they have already introduced. Opening at 7.30am is also a real benefit.


Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking around for quality care for their child.

Review from Jodie S (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very happy with the nursery. The staff are all friendly, and lovely. When my little girl first started it was a hard time as she was very emotional. The staff helped us deal with this and in less than a month she was transformed, and now, after 5 months, she loves it, and really enjoys it.
I feel
totally happy that my child is being 'educated' as well as having fun and cared for. She gets one to one attention and her needs are very important to the staff there. I like the fact that they feedback on her behaviour, eating, and any other relevant information to the parents.
Excellent management at Poppies and I feel my little girl is in safe hands.
Overall, very happy with Poppies and would recommend to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Poppies Day Nursery Holmer Green 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.877 for Poppies Day Nursery Holmer Green is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.877
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Poppies Day Nursery Holmer Green is based on 13 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
