This is a brilliant nursery with staff who genuinely care about your child.
Their emphasis is on play and keeping the children active and children are encouraged to play outside at every possible time without compromising on the other learning such as reading and counting. Highly recommended.

Thanks, Bruce, your daughter is part of the furniture now and glad you love us going outside!

This is my child's second year at Elmdon Nursery and we are very happy with the way things have gone. She enjoys all her aspects of nursery going from all the staff through to the activities she takes part in. She gets involved with dancing on a Thursday which she thoroughly enjoys. A particular member
of staff was very helpful with settling her in when she started as she was very clingy towards us but with the help of the other staff as well within a couple of weeks she couldn’t wait to go there each morning. Would recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking into child care. Thanks to all the staff.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery more. My daughter has only been here for three weeks and you can already tell the difference in her attitude. She always comes home so happy and she is becoming so much more confident in herself. All the girls that work there are so lovely and caring. They really do
go above and beyond.

Elmdon Day Nursery is the best, I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and what a wonderful homely environment it is. They are so caring and look after the children brilliantly, not only that but in an emergency, they are all very well trained. When my son had an accident they all looked after
him until I got there and I felt at ease that they were with him. I absolutely love everyone there and I would 100% recommend this nursery. Elmdon is small but I prefer this because it means the staff know your child better than getting lost in a big nursery. I love you all, thank you.

A great nursery, my little boy loves the staff and have come on leaps and bounds. This is his last year before school and I am really sad for him to be leaving. The staff are wonderful always happy to listen if you have concerns and give love and cuddles when your child needs it.
Thanks Elmdon Day

My daughter has been attending this nursery since May 2018. She started in the baby room and is just moving into twoonies. She absolutely loves it here. Was excited to go every morning and ran in smiling without looking back (most days). The staff are wonderful and you feel extremely comfortable and
assured that your child is in good care. My child really took to the staff giving them big loves every day. I viewed three other nurseries before deciding and the staff, the layout and the garden sold this one. The manager manages the nursery really well it's always clean and organised and daily childcare reports are always received along with photos and observations. Thank you all.

What can I say, I think it's the best nursery on this side of Bham. We had to relocate our child from the nursery which has closed down some time ago, we actually moved our baby girl from there before they closed down. Anyway, our daughter adjusted beautifully to the new scenery, the staff made her
very welcome and she couldn't be more happy. They have a lot of activities for all the kids in there, every day they come up with something else, which is great. We love the place and most importantly our daughter can't wait to go back there every day during the week, I think that speaks for itself. Thank you.

I could not recommend this nursery highly enough. My son has been coming for nearly 2 years and absolutely loves it, even waving me off at the door. The staff are all friendly and caring and take the time to get to know the parents as well. Loads of fun activities every day that encourages learning
at the same time. Lovely clean facilities with plenty of space for the little ones.

The best decision I ever made for my daughter was to send her to Elmdon Day Nursery. I trust the entire team fully with my daughter, she has so much fun, she loves attending and has turned into an amazing little girl, and the team at Elmdon have made a massive contribution to that over the last 2 years+.
My intention is to keep my daughter at this nursery until she starts school and at this point, I know Elmdon will have fully prepped her (and more) so that she is ready for the classroom! What I love so much about Elmdon is the team all know each child personally, they’re all so welcoming and personable and friendly! The owner/manager is always looking at ways of improving which is really admirable and exciting. I can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend.

I honestly couldn't recommend this nursery enough. From day one all of the staff have made both of my children feel welcome and safe. All staff are very friendly and approachable. The children have many activities planned throughout the day to keep them occupied and to learn through. The nursery is
always updating and transforming so it can provide the best care for the children which I love. The manager is always happy to speak to us at any time to answer any questions. We wouldn't send our children anywhere else.

I cannot recommend Elmdon Day Nursery enough. All the staff are wonderful. In the 8 months my little boy has been there I have seen a massive improvement in his speech and his behaviour. They helped with potty training and have worked alongside me to accommodate his lactose intolerance. He comes home
singing new songs he has learnt and chatting away about his friends. It is such a relief as a parent to drop your child off knowing that not only are they safe and well looked after but that they are happy and content to be there!

Both my boys, now aged 9 and 7 attended Elmdon and grew so much in confidence.
I had no doubt in my mind where, and who to trust my daughter with. To also see so many familiar faces of the staff from all those years ago was so reassuring.
She started at around 11 months old and the difference between
those first few weeks and now is unbelievable.
No more tears at the door, making friends and even sleeping through the night now.
Would not recommend anywhere else!

Both of my boys are currently at this nursery and they both love it. They have a real bond with the staff, who take such good care of them. My eldest is in the preschool section and I am amazed by how much he learns every day. When talking to the staff I know they really know my kids and they can always
give me an update on how they are doing if I need it.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone and I know my kids would as well, they talk about their days at nursery all the time and how much they love their friends and the staff that work there.

We feel super comfortable leaving our child here, whilst I go to work. There is a lovely, happy and upbeat atmosphere and my child is comfortable and content when there. We don't have any tantrums or tears on drop off. My child has learnt not only social skills but also basic educational skills to take
forward into school. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
From day one our granddaughter was happy at this lovely nursery. I was always struck by the happy atmosphere it was rare to hear a child crying when we collected her. The staff turnover was very low. This meant that once our granddaughter developed a relationship with a staff member we could rely on
that person working consistently with her. She was a very fussy eater when she started at the nursery age 1 but with the gentle persuasion from the staff she had greatly improved by the time she left aged 4. I always felt that nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

A great nursery, my little boy has made fond memories here.
As a parent, it is very difficult to find a nursery that matches your expectations and I must say this nursery is very accommodating to parents’ wishes. My son is now in the preschool section of the nursery and I feel there is a good mix of
what, I would call, as a parent, structured preschool learning and fun. Children are given the opportunity to be creative and explore through lots of structured activities organised by the nursery.
Additional activities are provided via music sessions, and sports sessions. The Nursery clearly has a very creative leader who goes out of her way to add new resources to the nursery. She is very passionate about her job which passes down to the team of caring and inspiring staff.

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.
