I can not thank the staff at Greengables enough for the help, support and kindness of every staff member I've met. My children are 4 and almost 3 and have both been attending the setting since they were both 8.5 months old.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with children within the age
that could attend and have done so in the past. I will be so sad for my children to leave Greengables, they have grown and learnt so much since they have been there.

My child ios a happy little boy he loves all the teachers and is always chatty when I called him in the evening. He loves telling me all the new things he's learnt during the day. Very happy with the staff and their communications with the parents.

My 20-month-old daughter started going to the nursery only 2 months. This nursery is very spacious and has lots of activities happening. My daughter loves her prime carer and it makes me very happy to see her going to nursery in all smiles. All other carers seem to be pleasant and always smiling. I
like that they even give a late evening snack for children who get picked up late. Can say my little one is defiantly being taken care of, enjoying and making friends while learning lots of new things.

Our little boy has been with Greengables Day Nursery for just over 6 months and we have been so impressed with the staff there. Our son is just coming up two at the end of the month and he has completely flourished since being at the Nursery. The staff are kind, empathic and extremely good at communicating
all aspects of your child's day with you. We have felt thoroughly supported as new parents and feel completely comfortable to ask advice at any time.


I would 100% recommend this Nursery to any parent who wishes their child to be in a caring safe and stimulating environment.

We cannot praise Greengables enough! Our little boy started at the nursery in Oct 2016 and he has been so happy! It's so lovely as a Mum to leave your little one happy knowing that he is in safe hands. The Staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. The Nursery itself is
clean, fresh and vibrant and most importantly has such a happy atmosphere. It's a wonderful place for little ones.

My son has recently started at Greengables and I cannot fault how good the nursery has been, with settling in visits for him before hand so he became familiar with the staff and nursery.
The staff all seem loving and caring and the management do a very good job of running the nursery. There is always
a wide variety of activities on offer to stimulate the children and they all seem to be set for different abilities so all children can progress in their individual development. The outdoor space is great and the children have activities out there so can learn whilst getting some fresh air. Overall I'm extremely pleased with the nursery.

My three children attend Greengables Day Nursery. My twin boys in the caterpillar room and my daughter in preschool and they absolutely love it. All the staff are excellent and my children love them and I leave for work knowing they are in safe hands and are having fun as well as learning. The daily
reports are always informative as are the weekly emails. A great team at Greengables Day Nursery and we are very happy with their service.

My 3 children absolutely love Greengables Day Nursery & the staff there are absolutely fantastic. Nothing is too much to ask, the room staff are excellent with the children & make sure that the children's needs are met, they have formed strong bonds with them individually, I know my children are being
cared for properly. The admin lady is also so helpful, always responds promptly and nothing is too much to ask. The reception & management team are all so friendly, professional & always make time to have a chat. The food is excellent, well balanced and varied. We are given a monthly menu & emailed each week so you can keep track of what you child eats so that you can plan their dinners with ease. I switched my daughter to Greengables Day Nursery as she was unhappy with her previous one & I can honestly say she has settled very quickly as have my 18 Month twins. The security is very good (a high priority for us) & parking is good too. The nursery itself is always clean & the toys and equipment are plentiful.

This month our youngest daughter has been settling into the nursery which we were really apprehensive about, but the staff in the Caterpillar room have been amazing. They have made the transition so easy and hassle-free.
We are so delighted with Greengables and only wish we had moved our daughter there
sooner.
We cannot praise the professionalism, friendliness, and attitudes of the staff more and would highly recommend them.

I have been so impressed with my son's experience at Greengables. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and quickly build rapport with him. They went to great lengths to make the settling in process easy and stress-free and always make me feel able to 'check in' with how things are going during the
day. The nursery offers a fantastic range of activities and clearly, tailor those to suit the children's interests and needs.
I am always impressed by the lovely things my son gets up to and the in-depth feedback I receive at the end of the day.

The team at Greengables is fantastic, they go above and beyond for the children and are always happy to help. They are great role models for the children. The atmosphere is positive and it provides a caring, welcoming and safe environment. I would definitely recommend Greengables to anyone, particularly
if you value learning through play experiences and young children being treated respectfully as little people where their individual uniqueness is valued and encouraged. A great early years experience, helping to provide a solid foundation for very young children which is all so important for their future health and wellbeing.

Greengables has become a part of our family. All of the staff are friendly, professional and helpful. My sons key worker is wonderful and understands his little nuances and how he likes to learn and play. It's clear they have a solid relationship and that he trusts and respects the staff. He has learned
so much, including very good table manners and a better ability to share with others. He has also made some wonderful friends whom we have enjoyed spending time with outside of nursery too. The facilities are excellent, the food is excellent, and the range of activities and toys are brilliant. Toys are regularly updated to maintain the children's interest and reflect what they are expressing a desire to play with. On the rare occasions where I was unwell and needed an extra session at very short notice the team were always incredibly supportive. We feel very grateful to have such a wonderful nursery available to us and we are thrilled that our son is so happy there.

Review from Gery (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined the Greengables nursery in April'16, at the age of 18 months. She was made very welcome by the whole team and was particularly well looked after by her key worker. It did not take long for her to become very well settled and each day she was happier to go back. Great communication
with the members of the staff, ensuring the home and nursery routines are aligned. The Management team and the chefs have taken seriously my daughter's dietary requirements and are more than happy to strictly follow our instructions.
Each day at the nursery, she has different activities that stimulate her development. Our daughter is bilingual and her key worker stresses on an age appropriate language education. She started talking a lot recently and sings new songs every day. Our daughter loves to be messy - at home we do not do body painting or mud pies for example. The messier she is, the happier.
At the end of each day, I see a very happy little girl. That says it all!

We have been using this nursery since Jan 2013. It has evolved, grown character and become a very busy (in a good way) environment for the attending children. The staff are great, the management take constructive feedback on board and action as appropriately. We are very happy with the progress year
on year and value the support and path taking our daughter into school later this year. Good work by all the team. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) out of 10 for Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.969 for Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor) is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.969
  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 Greengables Day Nursery (Owlsmoor) is based on 24 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
