Our daughter has attended the Pre School room at Greengables since September 2015 and has loved every minute. She has made some lovely friends and her confidence has come on in leaps and bounds. She has loved the variety of activities and the facilities available to her. The staff are always welcoming
and friendly, always making the transition and hand over from parent happy and positive. The children are all well behaved with lovely values. There is great communication from Greengables - you are always kept updated and informed. The food is outstanding, all freshly cooked and healthy. Our daughter has been happy, safe and well cared for in her time at Greengables and is now ready for her next adventure at school.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Choosing a nursery is really hard to do, and coming to the end of a day of 4 different viewings where we weren't sure at all, it was such a sigh of relief to see Greengables. It's very clean, purpose built, but what really made it stand out was the staff. They were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable
about child development and that first impression hasn't faltered 18 months on. There has been a few minor incidents where I was perhaps a little unsatisfied but what won me back was the responsiveness to the feedback and evident changes made. Five stars, Love Greengables!

My daughter, when I pick her up, carried on playing which is a big sign she is so very happy. She eats well and gets on well with all the staff and children. She rarely wants to go home with me and wants to stay! :) She likes strong (crazy) personalities and will lean towards the staff members who are
playful and funny. The staff are very good and get to know their children and are very passionate about what they do. This is music to parents ears who leave their children at nursery.

I am a member of staff at the nursery and my child started, as I did, in August. He is in the Ladybirds room and the staff were so caring to his individual needs which made him settle very easily. There is an excellent menu which offers a balanced and healthy diet which I love, as does my son! The outdoor
space is wonderful, and the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is met and evident through the children's play and development. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others who are looking for their child to grow up in a stimulating and healthy environment.

I have been using Greengables for over a year for our child care and have always been impressed with the care and interest shown in the children. It has helped no end with my child's development and so I had no hesitations when choosing it for my baby too.
The opening hours are a massive bonus and
make our work hours possible !


All the staff have been nothing but professional and helpful not to mention knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend in every aspect.

I loved Greengables the moment I walked in the door - a really friendly and happy environment, which is perfect for what I wanted for my son. They make sure that every child is catered for with whatever the requirement is - my son is cows milk protein intolerant - and this was never an issue from the
start.


The girls in the nursery are absolutely fantastic, my son is so genuinely happy to go there. I feel they care and get to know each child so well and tell you exactly what you need to know when you drop off /collect and not just a generic 'they had a nice day'. The work with each child to progress them. I don't have one bad thing to point out. I am totally relaxed when I leave him there.


It is testament that we both work in the opposite direction and we like it so much we won't move him to another nursery.


My son is soon to move up and I know he will have just as much fun in Ladybirds.

I am a qualified nursery practitioner, working at Greengables Day Nursery, where my daughter attends pre-school. The staff are friendly and always welcome my child with a smile. She loves playing outside in the nursery, exploring the nature garden and riding the bikes. There are regular fitness activities,
where she can play football. My daughter enjoys playing with her friends and sharing news during circle time. She is so happy and confident, learning in all developmental areas. My little girl will be well prepared for school.

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.
