Myself and my husband love St George’s Nursery. Both of my sons attend and I couldn’t wish for better care, devotion and creativity. St George’s provide an engaging and active day; addressing milestones and making learning fun. They make sure that both of my sons are happy and settled. Staff take the
time to get to know my sons and it is clear they enjoy being there. Every staff member knows my children’s names; from manager to all nursery nurses which says a lot about their welcoming and homely environment. Couldn’t recommend more! We love St George’s, as do our boys.

The overall experience has been good. My child has been involved in several activities which have contributed to developing his learning skills.
The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic.
I found the parent app link very interesting, however, I have noticed that some information is related to morning
activities and my child only does the afternoon session.
I think the information in the app could be more personal comments about how the child actually performed.

Since my daughter has been coming to the nursery her confidence and personality have grown.
She has such a bond with the staff from her class which makes me feel at ease due to the fact she's never been left with anyone else.
The girls are fantastic with her and I couldn't have wished for a better
nursery or staff for my daughter to be a part of.
My daughter adores them all and I'm so thankful for everything the girls do with her.

No issues with the nursery so far, my little girl loves it, so many activities are done with the children.
My daughter particularly enjoys the ball pit and painting.
There's not a day where she isn't tired and ready for bed when she has attended nursery.
Everyone has commented on how well and how
much my daughter's speech has come along since attending nursery.

We have had a very positive experience with St George's (Aylestone). Our daughter has blossomed into a happy, confident toddler during her time there, and we feel that the bond she has developed with the nursery staff that care for her has helped contribute to this. She comes home at night talking animatedly
about her day. Knowing she is spending time somewhere she is happy, engaged and active is a great comfort to us as parents.

My daughter's development has flourished at this nursery. She comes home with new songs/words/names each week, the staff are welcoming, encouraging and helpful, they have helped my daughter build bonds and settle in well and are never too busy to answer any questions. Great staff, environment and menu!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended St. George’s for just under a year. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and are more than willing to help if you have a problem regardless of what it is.
My son has really enjoyed his time at nursery, he’s made a good bond with both staff and children. He's become a confident
and cheeky little boy who has learnt so much whilst being at nursery.
The rooms are big and spacious with loads of different activities for the children to do and they encourage Children to explore their imagination.
They offer a wide range of foods giving my son different choices which he wouldn’t experience at home. My son is a fussy eater and takes a while to eat, they are very supportive and encouraging when it comes to him eating. Giving me peace of mind that he’s being given time when it comes to eating and he’s been given ranges of foods.
My son has really enjoyed this time at nursery and we will both miss it greatly when he starts school soon.

I can't praise this nursery enough, my daughter loves it here. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone. My daughter's confidence and speaking has drastically changed since being at this nursery. It's such a shame she has to leave soon to move onto the next step in schooling.
All the staff
are very friendly and always welcoming. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending this nursery.
10/10 I'd say.

Review from Pauliina K (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The strengths of the nursery are the comfortable rooms and outdoor spaces, the presence of some long-standing staff and managers and the overall quality of care. It has also been positive to see how the confidence of some care staff has grown over time, and that the nursery has helped them to develop
into very competent professionals. We feel that children could spend much more time outdoors, and the noise level in the older children's room is quite high. However the nursery has done very well in helping our child with some key skills including potty training and social skills.

Review from Dale C (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We now have two children attending St George's Nursery. The youngest of which has only just started going this month and our oldest has been going for over two years now. The staff are absolutely amazing and the boys both love them. They are so welcoming and really make an effort to make you feel comfortable
and reassured as they appreciate leaving your children isn't easy.
As my partner and myself both work shift patterns we find it difficult to have a set pattern with the nursery. However the management are fantastic at helping us figure out how to make work for us.
The variety of food they offer the children is amazing and we were extremely impressed with the kitchen facilities and even the cook is so friendly. Everything is fresh and it actually is. They have an allergy board to ensure children with food allergies are safe and different boards for meat and veg preparation.
I couldn't praise this nursery and their staff enough. Honestly best nursery ever.

A lovely environment with friendly, caring staff who worked really hard to settle in my daughter, including when she found it difficult to come back after a long holiday. My daughter appears really happy there, and I have been impressed with their communication with us.

My daughter attended St George's nursery three days a week (only in term time). She love going there, the teachers there are really nice people, my daughter was very shy but going to the nursery she has changed into more outgoing little girl. As a mother what I love about the nursery is that, they have
parents' meeting which it really good, so you can know how your child is doing in nursery.
Overall the nursery is a really good place to send your child to. Very safe and they have lots of activities for the kids to do.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.771)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.771) out of 10 for St George's Nursery (Aylestone) 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.796 for St George's Nursery (Aylestone) is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.796
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St George's Nursery (Aylestone) is based on 19 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 = 3.975
    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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Nursery Business Manager Joined: 2024

Working with children is all I have ever known and done since leaving school at 16. I love to see the children progress throughout their time at nursery, and experience all of the milestones with them and their families.


I started working in childcare in 2012 and have worked my way up from an apprentice role, which has allowed me to experience.


I chose St. George’s because I feel like my passion and beliefs align with what theirs, and I always know that if I would be happy to leave my child in the setting I am at that I am working in the right place and that’s the way I feel about St. George’s.
