My son goes to Greenfields 3 days a week. He started at 9 months old. From the very beginning, he has loved attending Greenfields. I have felt 100% confident that he is in safe and the most capable hands. All of the staff are extremely friendly, professional and communicate well with me as a parent.
Brilliant experience.

All of the staff at Greenfields have made my husband and I feel totally comfortable to leave them to care for our daughter. Everyone is very approachable and we have never felt as though there was a question we couldn't ask. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly very loving towards the children, it
took my daughter only 4 weeks at Greenfields for her to no longer cry as I left her having previously been with me or her father exclusively.
Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Care Manager at Greenfields Nursery School Thank you so much for sharing this lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you and your husband have felt comfortable and supported by the team at Greenfields. It's wonderful to know that our staff's approachability, knowledge, and care helped your daughter settle in so well, especially after such a big transition.

Review from Joanne S (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two children at Greenfields Nursery, our daughter in Preschool and our son in the Baby Room, and we have had a fantastic experience since they both started at around 7 months old. The Baby Room is such a warm and nurturing environment and we always feel safe and reassured leaving our son there
while we work, as the carers are always smiley, happy and have a lovely bond with the children, with great communication every day. Our daughter has loved moving through all the different rooms and is now in Preschool as her final step before starting school in September, and she has grown so much in confidence and learning. She comes home excited about what she's done and really enjoys the wide range of activities such as French, science and yogabugs, and the carers are always welcoming and supportive. We would highly recommend Greenfields to any family looking for a caring and friendly nursery.
Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Care Manager at Greenfields Nursery School Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that both of your children have had such positive experiences at Greenfields Nursery. It's fantastic to know that our Baby Room provides a nurturing and reassuring environment, and that your son feels happy and secure with our team. We're also thrilled that your daughter has enjoyed her journey through the different rooms, growing in confidence and embracing all of the exciting activities we offer.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been in the baby room since November and I have been impressed with all aspects of the staff, set-up and nursery.
The staff are so friendly and cannot do enough to help you, and give you regular updates through the app and a debrief of the day during pick up. She has come on loads since
being there and loves being around the other children and doing all the activity's.
I was nervous leaving her for the first time but the settling in days really helped ease into it and I feel more than comfortable leaving her in the nursery's care (and she loves it!)
Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Care Manager at Greenfields Nursery School Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We're absolutely delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled into the baby room and how comfortable you feel with us. Our team work incredibly hard to create a caring, supportive environment, so it really means a lot to hear your kind words about the staff, communication, and settling-in process. Knowing that the updates, daily handovers, and activities are helping her thrive is exactly what we hope for.

Review from H B (Mother of Child) published on 10 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Greenfields Nursery has been a wonderful setting for our little boy and he has transitioned to school so well as a result of the confidence, care and support he had whilst at nursery. Our little girl has always been so happy at Greenfields too and runs through the door each morning. The lack of outside
space for the baby room is a real shame and some of the equipment outside for the big room is looking tired. The variety of activities is great and it would be great to see them available all year round and not just term time, as we pay the same but the activities during the holidays drop off. Better communication about staff changes would be appreciated too (mainly if people leave!). We are so happy overall and the staff are wonderful.

Our son loves attending Greenfields. He has a fantastic relationship with his key worker. There is plenty of stimulation and learning for him and we love receiving his observations sharing what he has been up to. The love and care the staff provide is very evident.

From day one, it is evident that the staff truly care about the well-being and development of the children. The level of care and attention they provide is outstanding. Daily updates are ideal and keep us at ease throughout the day.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Greenfields Nursery to other parents.

Greenfields is an absolutely wonderful nursery nothing is too much trouble for any member of staff, they are all extremely polite, kind, caring and genuinely caring about the children at the nursery. They always make both child and parent feel welcome and at ease. They take the time to get to know the
parents and the child they are caring for to incorporate the child's interest into the activities. The staff always give excellent handovers and updates on the app during the day, which really helps keep your mind at ease.
After looking around the nursery and talking to the staff there was absolutely no doubt which nursery my child would attend. I have noticed such a positive difference in my child and the staff always encouraging them to do their best and helping in areas they struggle. I have recommended Greenfields to many of my friends who also agreed on how wonderful it is.

What a truly special place Greenfields Nursery & Out of School Club is! My son attended for just over a year and he blossomed in every way over that year. He learnt so much every day. The way important life skills are taught there along with french, yoga, multi-sports is outstanding.
Every member
of staff is warm and welcoming and my son had great bonds with them all. He still talks about them now.
I do not believe there is another nursery out there quite like Greenfields.

Greenfields is such a wonderful, nurturing nursery with incredibly caring staff. Like most parents, we were really nervous about our 1-year-old starting nursery but it couldn't have been a happier experience for her. The baby room feels like a home-from-home, and the women who cared for our daughter
are such warm, kind people who clearly adore children! Absolutely recommended.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.703)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.703) out of 10 for Greenfields Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.847 for Greenfields Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.847
  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 3.856 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greenfields Nursery School is based on 6 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 = 3.55
    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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.306
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2018

I joined Greenfields Nursery, Shipston-on-Stour as Nursery Manager in July 2025 after transferring from Footsteps, Stratford-upon-Avon (another Family First Nursery). I had been working at Footsteps since January 2018, working my way up to Deputy Manager.


I first started working with children as a Primary school teacher in Australia in 1999, and moved into Early Years in 2018. I also have twenty-one years of experience in bringing up my own children.


My qualifications include a Primary Teaching qualification and a Master's degree (Level 7), which I obtained in Australia. I have many years of experience working with children in both primary school and nursery settings in both England and Australia.


My approach to childcare is very much positive and fun, where children can thrive in an environment which is caring and inclusive.


I love working in childcare as I enjoy interacting with children, families and colleagues; ensuring they all feel part of the Nursery Family. Nurturing children and inspiring both them and the Team to continue learning and improving is a privilege.
