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.
Reply from Tracey Deol at Elmdon Day NurseryThank you very much for your lovely review. Great to get to know you and your children.

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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Tracey Deol at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks Amanda !! Your boys are such characters and keep us on our toes with their funny characters. They are both doing so well.

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.
Reply from Tracey Deol at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks for your lovely review. We are so glad your little boy is happy, he took a little time to settle but to see him blossom is very rewarding!

Review from Elizabeth B (Grandmother of Child) published on 17 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
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.
Reply from Tracey Deol at Elmdon Day NurseryThank you for the lovely review, it has been a pleasure looking after your grandchildren and getting to know you all. Look forward to caring for no.3.

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.
Reply from Tracey Deol at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks, Emma for the fab review. Can`t believe your son is now a big preschooler and loves getting involved in everything! It is a pleasure seeing him develop.

My son has attended Elmdon Day Nursery since he was 5 months old. He is now almost 3 and has been happy to go in every single day. (Some days I don't even get a goodbye!)


The staff are all lovely and really attentive. They work incredibly hard to keep improving the learning environment for the children

and to get the children involved in different activities. The outside area is just fantastic and it is great seeing the children move around so confidently.


It has such a relaxed, homely feel that you never feel afraid to speak to anyone, no matter what it may be about. As a parent, I always feel welcome.

Reply from Tracey Deol, owner/manager at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks Claire for the great comments. Your son is such a character and looking forward to caring for his baby sister.

Review from Lizzie L (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We joined the nursery last year after excellent recommendations from friends and family. We are extremely happy with our choice, our daughter loves her days at nursery and does so many activities that she wouldn't otherwise be doing at home, like sand play, glitter and painting. She always eats her
lunch and is kept refuelled with lots of healthy snacks and water. The staff really look after the children's individual needs and encourage them. We have noticed a huge development leap since introducing her to a more educational environment.
There is always a good staff: child ratio and the staff are always very friendly, helpful and accommodating to our needs and lifestyle as a family.
Good rate as well, some others that we looked at were a lot more expensive and didn't have as good am Ofsted rating as Elmdon.
Very happy and would 100% recommend!

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was one year old. Like any parent, I was terrified of leaving her with strangers. I was quickly put at ease when I met the girls who would be looking after her, they spoke about the children with sincerity and genuine affection. In this day and age,
childcare could be a cold industry with professionals afraid to show affection and love. I was assured that with complete certainty when she started that if she was upset, she would have a hug. Now she is three and a half and loves preschool. She was poorly for the first time today, and when I was phoned to go and collect her, she hugged one of the staff and said "love you, you are my best friend" and she genuinely does... the employee replied "awww I love you too sweetie". Thank you to all the ladies for looking after my child and allowing her to feel safe, loved and secure. I can go to work and keep my sanity. Strongly recommend!
Reply from TRACEY DEOL, owner/manager at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks so much for the lovely review. We always try to not phone parents as we know how hard it is to escape work but it`s lovely to be appreciated for the care we give. We all need a cuddle especially when we are feeling poorly. Thanks

After checking a few nurseries, we chose Elmdon Day Nursery for our child. We were very worried as our son is only 1 year old, but they are taking care of our son so nicely and we are very pleased. The staff are very friendly and always cuddle our son and the nursery is so homely. They know our son's
small things which is amazing. Thank you to the manager for everything.

My two grandchildren have been attending Elmdon Day Nursery for the last two to three years. They absolutely love going there and have made lots of friends.
The staff are excellent, they provide a kind, caring environment for the children. There are lots of activities for them both indoor and outdoor
including sports and music and they can't wait to tell us about all the fun they've had there at the end of each day as well as what they've learnt.

Our daughter is almost two and has been attending Elmdon for the last 12 months. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and the high level of care she has received during that time. Every day she gets to do so many creative things in spaces which are equally imaginative and constantly
being updated and changed to reflect the focus themes and children's interests.
She gets to spend lots of time having fun outdoors and as a result, is developing a real love of nature and physical activities. The staff are all so warm, welcoming and genuine, always making time to talk through what our little girl has been up to during the day. There is a real ethos of learning through having fun, feeling safe and happy and becoming a kind, caring, resilient little person. We are so happy we found Elmdon; fantastic staff, fantastic nursery. Thank you!

I'm a first-time mum and struggled with trusting people with my daughter, including nurseries, but since she's been here she's learnt so much and she's happy to go there.
In the morning she doesn't cry anymore or cling on to me for dear life which to me is a sign that she is being treated very well.
She has learned new words and developed friendships with some other kids there. I like how they update us with pictures via a private Facebook page, which is reassuring when I'm at work and worried about her. The staff are very lovely and make an effort with talking to the parents and to learn little things about your child.

Both of my children have attended Elmdon Day Nursery. My Son went to Elmdon from Sep 2012-Aug 2015. He had a fantastic time and his development progressed greatly. There was no question when choosing a nursery for my daughter where she would go.


My Daughter started in April this year. She has settled

in fantastically. The staff are friendly and approachable. There is a daily feedback sheet for the babies so that you know what they have been doing each day. There are lots of activities to keep the children entertained. My Daughter also thoroughly enjoys her dance session once a week (an extra charge is payable). Communication with the staff is excellent. There is also a closed Facebook group (for parents only) with regular updates and pictures of the children’s activities.


I can’t recommend Elmdon Day Nursery enough! My children love it here and it is so comforting to know that they are happy when I am at work. Thank you to everyone at EDN!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.934 for Elmdon Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (311 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.934
  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 28 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 28 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.
