Mother Goose Day Nursery has a warm and inviting atmosphere, recreating a home from home environment where the children in their care will feel secure and happy. They are open from Monday-Friday throughout the year except for public holidays and one week during Christmas.

The nursery is open for 51 weeks of the year catering for ages 2 years to 5 years where there is an option for full days (8:00am-6:00pm) or half days (8:00am-1:00pm/1:00pm-6:00pm).

The Nursery consists of one main playroom which includes the extension of a conservatory giving more space for the children to explore. The nursery also has plentiful outdoor space so that learning, and development can be taken outside. The rooms have maximum numbers of children and the right staff to child ratio according to the guidelines set out by OFSTED.

The main rooms hold a maximum of 33 children aged 2 years -5 years. The ratio for this age is 1:4 for 2 years and 1:8 for 3 years plus. The children in their setting are starting to become more independent and are encouraged to develop their self helps skills more widely.

The children help to prepare their own snacks and take turns in serving snacks out to each other as a way to build on their self-confidence. Weekly diaries on ey-man are used as a way of communicating with parents and carers.

Mother goose nursery has been a home from home for my daughter. She has loved attending and always comes home full of lovely stories about her day. The staff are fantastic. Since being at Mother goose nursery my daughter has become more confident and with the staff taking the time to help my daughter
with her speech and pronunciation, this has also come on too.
My daughter is definitely going to miss everyone at Mother goose nursery, but it has given her the best start before starting school in September.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

The Management & team at Mother Goose made not only my daughter feel so comfortable to start nursery in January but me too, as it can be a scary thing sending your children off to nursery but the team are so welcoming, so supportive & made me feel so at ease. My daughter has developed & learnt so much
so far and enjoys going into nursery. The environment is safe, fun & teaches the children new knowledge, manners, how to love themselves & others and to always be kind. So grateful for mother goose and would recommend to anyone with little ones looking for a nursery

I have to say that Mother Goose Day Nursery has been nothing but amazing with my daughter who has had to move twice in the past year being from a military family. She settled in very well and thats is credit to the staff who are very professional and efficient with their care and my daughter loves
going into nursery where I find not only do the staff and manager give you a welcoming and warm vibe but my daughter has progressively improved with speech and learning. I love the fact that the nursery has a relaxed approach and flexibility of activities that how children are feeling on the day but still remains structured .
Definitely 5 stars.

The manager and the team at Mother Goose are great. They make you feel comfortable and at ease as we know as parents it's never easy sending your children to childcare but the team here just make it an easy transition.
Mother Goose has helped my son loads with his social skills and helping him get
those keys skills ready for school.
Couldn't recommend enough.

My son absolutely loves this nursery, he was quite shy and doesn't like leaving me but they handle it so well and is beyond happy there. They have helped so much with his speech and he is always talking about how much he loves everyone there.

My eldest daughter was at Mother Goose from about 2.5 years old until she left for school. We had no hesitation in sending our 2-year-old to the nursery. Both girls had and are having a fantastic time. The staff are fantastic with the girls. My youngest daughter enjoys all the activities they do and
will always tell us what she did. She loves her lunches and the staff are always happy to help. I only have positive things to say about our experience with both our daughters.

Both my sons attend Mother Goose Nursery, which they really enjoy! All the teachers have built individual relationships with both boys and we genuinely see that they care for them. Me and my wife can speak openly with the nursery about concerns and we're fully supported, often with staff going above
and beyond for us. Definitely recommend Mother Goose to any parent considering a nursery for their kids.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A well-organised team, very easy to talk to about any concerns. My child has come out of her shell since attending the nursery and comes home singing new songs they have learned. They use a very handy easy-to-use app to follow the development of your child and some. Lovely pictures of their activities.
Also unlike some other nurseries we have visited the garden is behind the nursery so a nice closed-off area out of the public eye.

If we were to do it all over again, I can't think of a better place than Mother Goose. They truly live up to their name, with every staff member embodying the same nurturing spirit. They alleviate the typical parental fears of leaving kids with strangers, offering a genuine sense of an extended family.
Their care, consideration, empathy, and dedication to the service they provide are truly remarkable.

Very well-run nursery, with excellent communication with parents regarding child's progress.
My child has been taught many things at the nursery and it always feels like they are doing something productive with the children.
The nursery is not in the best condition and could do with some updating
but the quality of the staff and their honest effort to make the nursery the best it can be is a credit to them.
Would definitely recommend it to others.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Mother Goose Day Nursery 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.924 for Mother Goose Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.924
  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 Mother Goose Day Nursery is based on 21 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
