It also has a large, private outdoor area which has a sensory room, mud kitchen, giant sandpit plus lots of space for ride on toys, climbing frames and balancing beams.

The staff plan weekly themes, fun days and charity events to ensure all children have a stimulating and safe environment in which to learn and develop. To compliment this, it has professionals who give music and dance sessions four times a week, which parents can opt their children into. Leapfrog sports and football sessions are also provided.

The setting is part of the Startwell Healthy Lifestyle programme and children have a healthy diet and lots of daily exercise. The nursery can cater for different diets.

My daughter has been going to Elmdon Day for the last 8 months and she has come on heaps and bounds - thanks to the engagement of the amazing staff. She learns new skills daily. She enjoys going to nursery and doing group activities, singing, dancing, sensory play and garden play. They have varied
healthy meals and snacks every day. All of the staff are accommodating to each child’s needs. I look forward to seeing the pictures on the private social media page and reading about what she has been up to on her handover sheet. I would 100% recommend this nursery. Thank you to the Manager and all of the team at Elmdon Day for all you do for my daughter.

Thank you, Abbie. Your daughter is thriving at nursery which is great to see and she always gives me a smile.

We moved our daughter to Elmdon after attending another nursery, we couldn't have been happier with the transition! She is learning so many things, and the staff and the manager really go above and beyond.

I took my twins and daughter to their first settling in session today! From the get go the manager has been amazing I honestly couldn't imagine receiving the support, reassurance and help that she has given anywhere else! With that high standard from the manager I know the staff will all have the same
level of support and care, I've met at least 5 other members of staff and it's true they all seem so invested and so caring! With first day tears from my 2 year old twins the staff told me they gave them lots of cuddles and told me everything was ok.. what more does a mom want to hear? They reassured me and prepared me that tears are normal and they may cry when pulling up outside in the car for the next few times but not to worry. I am just so happy that I found an amazing nursery where I fully trust that my children are in great hands. Thank you and I look forward to their nursery journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been going to the nursery for 6 months now, he has really come out of his shell. He is learning new skills all the time and sensory play at the nursery has really helped him along with this. The staff are excellent and very engaging with him. They not only look at group activities and also
1 on 1 time with the kids with storytime and singing, dancing. They also ensure dietary requirements are met with healthy meals and snacks throughout the day. Love getting the daily pictures of the children via the Facebook group. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.
Reply from Tracey Deol, Manager at Elmdon Day Nursery
Thank you Kalpna! Your son is a charmer, his cheeky smiles brighten up our day. He is developing so well.

The staff of Elmdon Day really make this nursery the fantastic place it is. I feel so happy to leave my little girl there in such a safe and loving environment. She has learnt so much here and progressed amazingly well in all areas due to the staff always providing brilliant educational opportunities.
We will be really sad for our little girl to leave here in July but have recommended it to several family members as the best nursery in the area.

Thank you, Katie and we will miss your daughter too! She will do so well at school as she is a little star.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Elmdon since September and is really happy and settled. Due to lockdown I was concerned she would find separation from home difficult. However, the nursery staff made her feel safe and content in the setting meaning the transition was really smooth. She is developing lots of
communication skills and it is evident that she is developing based on the support she is receiving from nursery. We receive 2 reports a year about progress, however, more information can be gained on request. I like being able to see photo updates of my child during the day and to see the topic-related learning the pupils are taking part in.

Thank you, Emma! Your daughter is so content, wish I knew her secret! She is a pleasure to care for.

Our daughter has attended Elmdon Day Nursery for approaching 3 years now. Just this morning she woke saying "I love my nursery, can we go and see my friends now" - this is the most reassuring sentence a working parent can hear. She loves it, as do we. She feels safe, happy, and part of a family there.
We feel comfortable dropping her off to any one of the team there, the door is always opened with a friendly smile and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. The owner is so approachable and has always been really helpful and flexible. We have regular updates on a private parent Facebook page throughout the day, can see the educational progress our daughter is making through attending the setting and they offer a varied menu and external providers attend to offer outdoor activities regularly too. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend this setting.

My little girl has been attending since she was 2 and will be turning 4 this year and starting school. Due to covid, she was a very shy reserved child around unfamiliar people but her development and confidence have grown massively thanks to the lovely staff at Elmdon. She enjoys going to nursery and
always comes home happy saying she has had a great day learning new things and doing all the various activities. I love seeing all the photos on the private Facebook group of the daily activities and find it very useful for any updates. Thank you to the owner and her team!

All 3 of our children have attended Elmdon Day Nursery over the years and our youngest is currently in pre-school, having been at Elmdon since he was a baby. Our son runs into nursery so happily and comes home full of news about his day and his friends. The staff are knowledgable and experienced, (in
fact a number of them were also working at Elmdon when our 2 older children attended). The staff encourage each child's learning and development enthusiastically and we have appreciated their effort in supporting our youngest son with his potty training. We find that the owner/manager is extremely approachable, flexible, and accomodating. The communication between nursery and parents is excellent and we really appreciate the daily photo updates detailing what the kids have been doing. We have been extremely pleased with the childcare provided by Elmdon and all 3 of our children have loved being there too.

My son has been with this nursery for approaching three years. His baby brother is due to start. I have to say the owner/manager is really accommodating. Flexibility is a must in my job and she works around this. Sometimes people may be hesitant to ask for favours because of people saying no but I can
honestly say she has never said no to any request I’ve asked. My son skips in that nursery. He loves the girls that work there and so do I they’re all lovely. Love the Facebook page, shows how interactive with the children they are. Highly recommend to everyone.

It's a very friendly homely atmosphere with staff members knowing children well. I like the variety of activities they offer, the effort they put to make the days as fun as can be but educating children at the same time. Parents are well informed either via Facebook or emails, the response to any queries,
etc is very quick. The manager is very much involved in knowing the staff, children, and activities on top of all other managerial duties. I also like their motivational tricks (eg. Star of the Day, well-done stickers, etc) to encourage good behaviour and self-esteem in children. There's a lovely garden area. The preschool cottages are really nicely decorated and equipped in a manner that encourages educational development. Both my sons are known to Elmdon Day Nursery and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Thank you, Danuta, and both your boys have been little treasures. It's great to see how they are growing up.

Excellent nursery. My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was a baby, she absolutely loves it.

My daughter joined Elmdon Day Nursery in September 2021 after her first nursery closing. It has been the best decision sending her here as the help we’ve received has been excellent. They’ve been very understanding and helpful towards my daughter as she joins SEN in which we’ve come so far already in
the space of 5/6 months. The improvement we’ve seen in her compared to her other nursery has been completely different and we’re so relieved. All members of staff are so lovely. I couldn’t wish upon a better team to look after my daughter and son.

Our daughter (now 3.5 yrs old) has been attending Elmdon Day Nursery since January 2021. She settled in within a few days and loves it so much. She has made really strong connections with the staff and so many friendships with other children who attend. She literally runs in, in the morning. I have
to make sure I get a kiss and a cuddle before the door opens. The nursery have helped me with potty training her last year, help with encouraging her to eat different things (picky eater), and are getting her ready for reception in September. Her speech and writing is coming on so well too, as is her reading, which we try to mirror at home. We are so happy to have found somewhere, that feels like a second home to her.

My little boy has been attending this nursery since august last year. He has come on so much since starting. His confidence grows daily, he's made so many friends and an amazing relationship with his key worker, as well as the other staff members. As a nursery nurse myself I have high expectations of
the care and learning I want for my son, and this nursery meets my every need. I’m given frequent learning reports and targets to work on with my son at home, I’m also sent daily photos so I can see what he's doing and how much fun he's having. Would highly recommend this setting.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 7 months old (now 3) and has worked her way up to pre-school. All the staff have always been really welcoming and supportive. She is happy going to nursery and has made some lovely friends as they have grown up together. The nursery put photos
on a private page each day to show the activities the children are doing and celebrating children for their individual achievements. They communicate topics and EYFS information regularly so we can link some things we do at home and can talk to her about them. They also provide extra activities from outside agencies at a very small cost such as multi-sports classes. Overall a great nursery and we will be sad when she has to leave.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Elmdon Day 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.961 for Elmdon Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.961
  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 Elmdon Day Nursery is based on 26 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 26 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.
