Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant nursery, I would always recommend. It has done wonders for my son's speech, confidence and interaction. All members of staff are always very friendly, helpful and happy. My son absolutely loves going to nursery and is always happy to go in and is always excited to tell me about his day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic setting, my daughter adores this nursery! She's been going since just 5 months old, there's just so much for them to do there - whether they're still tiny like she was when she joined or now at 18 months! Lots of lovely artwork is brought home, it means I can leave the messy play to the nursery
and enjoy the less messy play at home :)
They use the outside play areas all year round, my daughter especially loves to play in the sandpit! The nursery provide an excellent variety of food, all hand prepared and home cooked - it smells divine!!
All members of staff are extremely polite and knowledgeable, they go above and beyond to ensure you're happy with their services. I would not hesitate to recommend Green Roots!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wonderful nursery, can't fault it at all! All staff are well trained, informative, friendly and above all caring and nurturing towards all children. My son loves going to nursery and I love seeing his progress online knowing that he is having an enriching developmental time whilst being cared for at
the highest level. Green Roots is a welcome addition to Southbourne and the parents living here and surrounding!
My friend travels from her home in Portsmouth specifically to send her daughter here after my strong recommendation of the nursery and staff. Very pleased that my son will carry on here until he starts school.
The only thing that could make Green Roots any better would be school drops/collects WAC to include older siblings.

Review from Sarah-Jane L (Mother of Child) published on 10 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Green Roots is an amazing setting. Both my children have attended and one is still there. The staff are friendly, professional and very caring. The facilities are the best I have seen anywhere. The food is out of this world. My children love it at Green Roots and my eldest misses it terribly.
I would
highly recommend it to anyone and I always do! The children can go to beach school, go to local places of interest, do gardening, meet people of different professions (dentist/fireman) and learn Spanish and dancing. It is great value for money and definitely prepares them for school with their learning programme. I love it.

Review from Jo P (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have used a variety of childcare settings and Green Roots is by far the best. My daughter started at nearly 3 and will be moving up to school this September. She has adored the amazing garden facilities, the pre school focus on starting gently to do numbers and phonics and the incredible craft activities
that happen daily. My son has been going since he was 4 months and I have always felt super confident in the care the baby room have given him from this young age. They have a brilliant onsite chef as a permanent staff member so the kids are basically fed healthy restaurant standard food for every meal and snack which is a major plus point. The babydays system is great as is the web cams in the parent area (and the coffee!). The main difference to many childcare settings is that ALL the staff are always smiling and happy, they seem motivated and engaged in their work place to a level that is of a real credit to the owners.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.661)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.661) out of 10 for Green Roots Nursery & Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.967 for Green Roots Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.967
  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 4.694 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Green Roots Nursery & Preschool is based on 10 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.694
  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.

Job Title: Owner Joined: 2004

I was delighted to open Green Roots Nursery in September 2013. I’ve always been passionate about childcare and I wanted to set up a nursery that was exceptional in terms of the nurturing care and attention that it gave to the children and also the service that it provided for parents. As an accredited Child-minder for many years, I learnt the importance of understanding each child’s individual needs and the benefits of providing each child with the opportunity to have real life experiences and be active indoors and out.


As a parent of young children myself I recognise the challenges of trying to balance all aspects of family life and we’re determined to help all of parents with this by making things as easy and convenient as possible.
