Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
EDN (Elmdon Day Nursery) is a fabulous nursery. All three of my children attended there, 2 still do, right from babies. The staff are friendly and amazing with the children. What I love is the fact my children learn new things all the time and have built up some lovely friendships. Definitely a great
nursery to take your children to.
Reply from Tracey Deol, Owner at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks very much for the lovely review and it seems you have been here forever! but fantastic to see all your children grow and develop.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Tracey Deol, Owner at Elmdon Day NurseryLove 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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 NurseryWow, 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.

Review from Amanda T (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!)

Reply from Tracey Deol, Owner/Manager at Elmdon Day NurseryThank you for the lovely comments. Glad you like the daily updates, we really think it helps us all to stay in touch.

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.
Reply from Tracey Deol, Owner/Manager at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks very much for lovely comments. We always try to do our best even on rainy days when we struggle to run around outside !!

Nothing but good things to say about this nursery.
My son loves it and all the girls there are so lovely and treat my son so well. Management are great too. It's great the fact we are updated every day about what our children eat and the activities they do during the day. Would recommend it to anyone.
Reply from Tracey Deol, Owner/manager at Elmdon Day NurseryThanks for your great comments. Your son has grown up so much and is developing really well in all areas. So pleased you appreciate the nursery and our efforts to keep you updated.

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.

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.
