Review from Jess H (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 14MO son has been with Green Door for two months and loves it. We were nervous about starting nursery as we'd all recently relocated from London and really needed his settling in to go well, which is it - extremely well. The team were extremely communicative during the early stages of his settling
in, make us feel comfortable and confident in how he was doing. Now he loves it, and is very happy to be dropped off, often being very smiley and happy to see the staff. He's not been at the nursery long but so far we're extremely pleased and happy with how he's doing. The staff are delightful and so enthusiastic! Our son eats like a trooper and sleeps great - all of which is great to see so early into starting nursery. Can't rate more highly, thank you for everything so far!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After moving back from America, where my son was born, and being a COVID baby, he didn't like to be away from us and has never been good with change. The Green Door was wonderful with his transition. They have been so thoughtful and thorough with his care and continued taking the time to understand
his needs while also providing sound advice, which we found helpful. My son's language and speech were delayed, so they provided additional personal care from their highly trained staff to give him confidence and extra assistance. The activities are inclusive and diverse, the food/snacks are yummy and healthy, and the staff are fantastic! We're extremely sad he is leaving Green Door to start school next month, but we know that he is leaving fully ready for the next stage and with lots of memories, thanks to Green Door! Thank you, for everything!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means a lot to everyone at the nursery to have recognition of their work from a parent. Thank you for your support of the nursery.

Review from Julia K (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Enrolling our 18-month-old at Green Door was one of the best decisions we made. Green Door offered a calm and extremely nurturing environment, with a lot of personal focused attention, during an intense 5-day week across two nurseries. The staff embraced and nourished him in incredible ways - evident
by the fact our son regularly named his key workers at home. These wonderful ladies gave our bilingual child so much attention and care, supporting him through his emotional struggles, first explorations of both English and Polish languages, as well as his potty training. They gave him help and love above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We will have no hesitation, should we be lucky enough to have a second child, in sending them to Green Door again. The nursery has been a huge asset to our son's life, and to our early time as parents, and laid important and positive foundations for us all to build on. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Review from Aisha M (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely wonderful little place. My son was welcomed and settled in well. The staff did an amazing job transitioning him into the toddler group and later into pre-school. The staff are very competent and friendly. I always enjoy the full report I get at pick-up, explaining his day and the opportunity
to discuss needs, behaviours and habits. My son loves one particular nursery nurse and will miss them all a great deal. Thank you for looking after my child so well.

A lovely nursery. My toddler has a great time here, doing a range of activities everyday! They also have lots of time outside in the garden and with trips to the local park which is great. The staff are lovely and give detailed updates of what the children have been up to and how their day has been.

A lovely and welcoming nursery!
My 4-year-old had a wonderful experience at The Green Door Nursery. The nursery helped her come on leaps and bounds in her development and this helped her transition into reception year at school.
Staff are lovely, an overall wonderful nursery setting.

Review from E T (Mother of Child) published on 10 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our daughters have attended The Green Door Nursery, with our youngest just about to leave for school. They have both loved their time here and over our five years at the nursery, we have had no issues or reason for complaint. The nursery is small enough to not be too overwhelming with a nice
number of children in each room. The activities are great with fun arts and crafts projects, weekly forest school and plenty of role play. There is a focus on the early stages of learning alongside a nice balance of fun. The staff have always been friendly, the management is professional and approachable and the app means you get pictures and updates each day. We would very much recommend this nursery to others and will be sad to say goodbye!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has spent the last 18 months in the baby room and toddler room and absolutely loved it. She settled in much faster than with previous daycare settings and didn’t stop talking about the staff in the evenings. She has always been excited to go on her nursery days, been busy with lots of creative
activities and time outside and our main praise is for the staff who have all been outstandingly friendly, smiley and kind to the littluns. Being in Bristol the outdoor space is small but has been out to good use. We are sad to leave!

The nursery has cared for both of our kids over the past few years and our second child has just finished ready for school. They've both been really happy there and I have been especially pleased with the kindness and professionalism of the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.044)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.044) out of 10 for The Green Door 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 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 4.850 for The Green Door Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.85
  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 4.194 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Green Door Nursery is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 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.
