Each area is colourful and bright with children's work on display, artistic wall/window murals and plentiful toys and resources. 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.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Both of my children have gone to this nursery and they loved it! There was a short waiting list so both children started nursery at different places and neither of them settled and enjoyed it as much as Elmdon Day. I trust the staff and they are really accommodating. I find the owner treats the nursery like a hobby, not a business as she's always there and always happy and so are the staff.

Love it, yes it is my life's work! Even on a Saturday when I sneak in to catch up/clean/paint. I am so pleased you are happy with our care.

Both my daughter (now 5 but still pops back in school hols) and now son 18 months have attended Elmdon Day and I can't recommend this place enough. Friendly staff who are prepared to go the extra mile to ensure the kids have a great time and feel safe. The key workers are mentioned daily in my house such is the impact they've had on both children. The manager is fantastic, hands-on, approachable and accommodating, often squeezing us in if we have a childcare emergency. Top-down the nursery is run very well.
They've given us inspiration as parents whether that be from the games they play, books they've read, songs they've sung and phonics they've learnt! Comprehensive learning through play right from babies helped my daughter start school with great confidence. My kids have made many friends there and have stayed in touch with some. Tried a few nurseries in the borough and this place is the one!
Thank you to all that work there!
↩Reply from Tracey Deol, Owner/Manager at Elmdon Day Nursery
Wow, thanks for such great feedback. We love it when the older children come during holidays as we do miss them when they go to school. We understand how hard it is for working parents so will always try to accommodate you during emergencies.

The staff are always friendly and make sure my son feels happy when he is left there, which makes me feel safe about leaving him. They have a private group for parents to see updates throughout the day which is always reassuring. My son has developed so much since joining the nursery, not only mentally but socially, this is thanks to the activities he's able to take part in there.
As a first-time parent, I was felt nervous about leaving my son at nursery but once I'd visited and seen how he was getting on, all the worries vanished. They have wonderful staff who are always willing to answer any questions no matter how silly! (I honestly cannot rate the staff highly enough, they go above and beyond!)

We've used Elmdon Day Nursery for the past 4 years and had no hesitation in enrolling our second child who is now almost two years old. The staff are friendly, helpful and easily developed bonds with our kids who have always looked forward to going. Their educational and social development has always been very noticeable too which has helped them immensely.

Couldn't recommend well enough. Brilliant staff and so helpful. Our little girl has come on leaps and bounds since being there and couldn't thank them enough.
Not had a single issue and they keep you up to date constantly with what your baby/child is getting up to.

This is a lovely nursery, all of the staff are friendly and helpful and they will always take time to chat about how your child is doing and what they've been up to.
I have two children, my eldest attended between 11 months old until he went to school. My youngest is here and will stay there until she goes to school too.
One of the best things about Elmdon Day Nursery is the attitude towards messy play and going in the garden. They go out in all weathers as long as the children are wrapped up warm, and they do loads of painting and other messy stuff.
I wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for over a year now. The staff there are lovely and always very informative about her day. She has come on so much with her speech and general social skills since being there. I feel she is genuinely looked after whilst in their care and I like that as I don't worry about her whilst she is there. She takes part in an extra music class in the week as well which she enjoys. The nursery keep us up to date with information and always answer any questions we have. I would definitely recommend it to others.
