We love MyOhana. Very friendly, professional and caring staff. It's a positive environment that helps my son to grow up as a happy boy. They are always there if we have any questions, if we need any advice. Very patient and amazingly helpful. We couldn't imagine better place for our son. Thank you to
all Gloucester team.

Review from Lisa B (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to nursery since May 2025. It's fair to say I was nervous and apprehensive about my little one going to nursery but from the outset the staff have been outstanding. I have found them to be really kind, caring, polite and professional. They offered lots of reassurances and the communication
has been fantastic. It's lovely to get the updates of what he has been doing along with pictures. My little one has settled in really well, he is happy when I drop him off and am always greeted with a smile when picking him up. The staff take the time and care to give updates on what my son has been up to on a daily basis. I can't speak highly enough of the nursery and the staff, they truly are fantastic

Review from Kerrie M (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff and management team have been amazing with both of my boys. My eldest attended here the year before he started school and they picked up on his speech issues straight away; sending in a referral to speech and language as soon as they could. He left there completely
ready for school.
My youngest is still attending the nursery and absolutely loves it. He can't wait to get there in the mornings. He has a great relationship with the staff and they treat him like family.

We've had a really positive experience with My Ohana. The staff are warm, friendly, and clearly care about the children. Our child has made great progress and always comes home with a smile. The environment feels safe, welcoming, and well-structured, with a great balance of learning. We appreciate the
regular updates and photos that give us a glimpse into our child's day. The range of activities and outdoor/indoor play is great!
Reply from Carly Garrett, Operations Manager at My Ohana Gloucester Nursery
Thanks for sharing your feedback. While it can sometimes be a juggle to send out updates during the day-especially when things get busy and the children come first-we know how much parents value them.…read more

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter goes here and she has from 18 months (now two and a half years old) from the 2 years old room to now, she has received nothing but fantastic care at My Ohana Gloucester Nursery. She runs into nursery every day, and comes out with fantastic stories, great learning (which we complement at
home) and having had a great day. I love the focus on child-led learning but with a routine to help focus and maintain routine home and at nursery.


Couldn’t ask for a better place for my daughter to be whilst at work - thank you for all you do.

Both my boys go to this nursery. They absolutely love it. Trust the staff completely, kids never have a tear going in. They are thriving at My Ohana and will be sad when my eldest leaves for big school this year as nursery is like a second home for him.

Review from M H (Mother of Child) published on 10 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son (18 months) has been attending nursery here since September. All of the mum guilt I had about sending my child to nursery has gone: we never have tears at drop off because he loves nursery days, he has a strong connection with the staff there and is developing new skills at an amazing rate. Since
joining, he has learnt new social skills, honed his fine motor skills and developed a distinct personality apart from his parents. The staff talk so fondly of our son at handover and we really feel as though he is loved there. He is always fed well, offered a range of activities and naps comfortably.
Communication with the nursery is excellent. The app gives us, as parents, something to look forward to and we keep an eye out for the notification on nursery days to see the activities, food and any photos.
The nursery has been a blessing for us and for our son. I would recommend to absolutely anyone.

I can't put everything I want to say about My Ohana into words! I can't fault the staff at all! 100% incredible! They are so good my child and she can't wait to go in the mornings! She comes home with something new that she's learnt and I'm kept up to date with everything she's done through their app!
The facilities are amazing, equipped and age-appropriate, they are doing something every day and since going to My Ohana my little one has come on in leaps and bounds!
I honestly can't thank the staff enough for everything that they have done for my baby!

I am so happy that we chose this nursery. My son has always been really happy when we do drop off and pick up, and the staff are lovely. They do great write-ups for parents each day and useful reports, and my son always brings home nice arts and crafts. My son has really grown up, and we notice all
the brilliant things he is learning that the girls at the nursery are supporting him with. Thank you so much to all the staff for making my son happy during the day; it is much appreciated! I have verbally recommended this nursery many times, but this is my first online review. Also, during Covid, management was very good at contacting me.

My son loves this nursery. He waves me to the front door to go even when he's not due to go. The staff are brilliant.
My son's confidence has grown.
The activities he does, he really enjoys. He also eats better at nursery than at home.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.625) out of 10 for My Ohana Gloucester Nursery 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for My Ohana Gloucester Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
  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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for My Ohana Gloucester Nursery is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.25
  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.
