Could not recommend this nursery enough. My eldest child attended for 3-years and was always welcomed with a smile. They complete some creative and well thought out activities for the different age groups, and provide excellent meals for the children. My second child now attends, and although struggles
with attachment, the nursery have made both myself and my child feel at ease. They send photos and updates throughout the day and always provide cuddles when needed.

Elmfield Nursery is such a nourishing, friendly, professional and caring environment.
The staff are so kind and try their very best for each and every child in their care. The manager is also so supportive and helpful, and they make an excellent team of people to care for our children.
The environment
is stimulating, safe and fun. Classes are split by age group which places children with suitably aged peers.
I certainly wouldn’t take my two children anywhere else.

My daughter has been attending Elmfield Nursery full-time for the last two years following my maternity leave, and I only have positive feedback, they were really reassuring from the first day and treated my daughter with such care and attention. She loves going to nursery, all of the nursery team there
and having so many fun things to do, which I can keep up to date with on the app throughout the day.
More recently through COVID-19, after two months at home, they made her transition back to nursery seamless, and she instantly settled back in, they kept all the parents up to date on the procedures that have been put in place to keep them safe which was a relief in what has and still is a surreal time.
I really couldn't have hoped for a better nursery for my daughter, they genuinely care about the children and how they develop, and she is a lovely little person because of it.

My daughter attends Elmfield Nursery and thoroughly enjoys it. The staff are very warm, caring and maternal, and clearly care dearly for the children and love their jobs! My daughter is thriving and loves to talk about the staff, the games she has played, and the fun she has had with her friends at
nursery. The nursery is managed really well, has good leadership, has good communication with parents, and excellent facilities. My daughter continued to attend nursery during lockdown (during Covid-19 pandemic) and the safety measures put in place and communication from the nursery was excellent. The staff are professional and happy to help with any question or query. There is a parent portal, which is updated regularly each day, so you can see what your little one is up to at nursery. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Elmfield is a lovely nursery. We visited a few nurseries before Elmfield and can honestly say that as soon as we walked in, there was no competition, we just knew it was going to be our top choice! Our son has attended since being one-year-old and is leaving next month to go to school. He runs in each
morning and comes out beaming in the afternoon. We get regular updates from the nursery via an app where they upload what they have been doing, photos and a meal diary each day.
They are always doing a variety of different activities each day, my son particularly loves playing out in the garden, which they do every day. There are lots of learning activities, and they also keep parents updated on their child's progress.
I have to say the highlight of the nursery is the staff. My son loves them all! I truly believe it isn't just a job for them; they all care. They take such a vested interest in each and every child.

Two of my children (boy and girl) have attended Elmfield Nursery since the age of 9-months until school age. The nursery is a fantastic, friendly neighbourhood nursery in a lovely quiet area. The staff go above and beyond for the families who attend. My children both enjoyed the nursery immensely. The
atmosphere is very caring and nurturing. I would have no hesitation to recommend this nursery.

An exceptional nursery! Staff are professional and experienced. We have complete peace of mind and confidence that our little one will be well taken care of once we leave her in the nursery. There is always a warm welcome that awaits us and a true feeling of community.

My daughter has been part of Elmfield for just over a year now and she thoroughly enjoys it. The staff are what makes this nursery fantastic. All the team, took time to get to know our family over the first few weeks so they could ultimately get to know my daughter and make her comfortable.
We get
regular updates via an app each day and even more of an update when we pick her up.
The recent lockdown and getting back to the nursery routine was hard, but because of the team and the fun and engagement, her tears didn’t last long and she’s back to her routine, enjoying all the fab activities they get up to!

With my youngest child about to leave Elmfield Nursery to start school in September, it will feel very strange not going every day when it is has been such a big part of our lives for so long now.
The children are so well cared for and looked after, but what makes this nursery so special, is the way
the children are encouraged to become independent, confident and happy little people. They learn so many life skills, how to play nicely with other children, all about different cultures around the world, how to talk about how they are feeling, the list could go on and on.
My daughter (just like my son before her) is now so ready for school, having had the best preparation possible. I have no concerns at all about how she will manage there, and that is largely down to the fantastic start she has had at Elmfield.
Thank you to all of the staff at the nursery - we will miss you very much.

Elmfield is a lovely nursery. Our son goes off for the day with a smile on his face and comes home happy and also pretty tired from a fun filled day. We get regular updates from the nursery and photos. They also monitor his progress against EYFS and report back on this. It's really great knowing he
is going somewhere he is safe and happy.

Fantastic nursery. The staff are the highlight and are, without exception, endlessly kind and caring. Our child settled in so quickly which I attribute entirely to the nursery staff and he still loves to go there.

From the very first day at The Elmfield Nursery, my little girl was made to feel so welcome. The staff are all kind, caring and trustworthy and they made her feel comfortable from day 1 which as a parent is important. My daughter had four wonderful years there and loved every minute, she made great
friends and I include the staff in that. She has learnt so much at nursery and I thoroughly believe that she wouldn't be the amazing little girl she is today without their care and support. I can't thank The Elmfield Nursery enough.

Both of our boys attend Elmfield nursery, it is a wonderful, caring environment with lovely staff. They do so much with the children and with my eldest having just left and now off to school, I can see what a difference his time at Elmfield has made. He is a confident, happy little boy who is ready
for his next step at school.


Both my children love the garden and the meals - they often have seconds, they're always doing something different and fun and not even realising everything they're learning. Recently the trips to the care home have been a great experience for my eldest and I think it's lovely that Elmfield cares about the community it resides in. We find the app useful too and enjoy seeing pictures of what the boys have been up to. I could not recommend this nursery more if you're looking for a caring, safe and fun place for your child.

I would highly recommend Elmfield Nursery. My son has attended since he was one year old and has always been very happy there. It is a well-run nursery and the staff are all friendly and professional, always giving the children the best care and attention. It is a homely environment with a particularly
lovely garden for the children to play in.

A combination of very caring staff and constantly high standards have meant our experience of Elmfield has been fantastic. The staff and management work hard to promote great communication between nursery and home and any niggles we have had have been sorted quickly. Our sons are happy and thriving,
which is a reflection of the nursery and its practices.

I have two children at Elmfield who have been happy and content since day one. The staff are friendly and caring. They adapt play and tasks around the likes and skills of my four-year-old to enhance his interest in numbers and maths. The children rush to nursery and never want to leave and that’s the
best feedback I could get.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.548)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.548) out of 10 for The Elmfield 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.938 for The Elmfield Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.938
  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 3.61 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Elmfield Nursery is based on 4 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.235
  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.
