Our daughter has attended since August. She settled in quickly and we have been so impressed by the kindness of the staff and the way they take such a personal approach to each child. The food always sounds delicious and they organise lots of different activities for the children. Couldn't be more pleased
that we chose Grosvenor House nursery.

I feel truly blessed to have found Grosvenor House Day Nursery for my little one. The staff are incredibly caring, supportive and genuinely amazing. The way they nature and encourage my son is wonderful to see. Although he currently attends two days per week, he absolutely loves the team and is thriving
in thier care.
The meals provided are varied and nutritious, with dishes like lamb moussaka and fish pie - meals I don't often make at home! It's reassuring to know he's eating so well. The nursery also has a beautiful play area, which he really enjoys. There is lots of space for him to run around and play.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff go above and beyond, and I have complete confidence that my child is well looked after. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring and stimulating environment.

My son started at the nursery in October and he absolutely loves the baby room. All of the staff are so welcoming, kind, and caring, which made settling in such a positive experience for both of us. It's lovely to see how happy and comfortable he is there every day. I couldn't ask for a better environment
for him.

I'm grateful for the care my children have at Grosevenor House Day Nursery. It's also been wonderful to have some fun activities recently like the Supper with Santa. It's great that my children get to join in extra activities like drama tots and also trips out to the park. Staff are kind, attentive
and understanding. I am kept updated with anything important that I need to know. Many thanks!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been so pleased with this nursery since our daughter started 8 months ago. The staff are all so kind and I feel genuinely enjoy looking after her. They are always excited to see her, and always give really comprehensive updates at the end of the day. We love the updates and pictures on the app.
Whenever they call to give any updates, they are really reassuring. If I have ever booked her in for extra days, the staff always remember and will say they are looking forward to having her - sometimes I've even forgotten this!! She clearly loves the food they cook as eats it all - way more than home. I've also really liked the fact they really keep you updated about sleep, and will stick to your routines.
In terms of flexibility, the nursery has been brilliant at supporting additional ad hoc days when I've had other commitments come up. Honestly couldn't recommend more!
Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for such a kind and detailed review. We're thrilled to hear how happy your daughter has been with us over the past 8 months and how supported and reassured you feel as a family.

We're also delighted that your daughter enjoys the food so much and that our focus on routines, especially around sleep, has been helpful for you.

My son absolutely loves this nursery. From the moment he walks in, he's excited, comfortable, and genuinely happy to be there. The staff are brilliant - warm, attentive, and truly invested in every child. They take the time to understand his personality, support his development, and make sure he feels
safe and confident each day.
The environment is nurturing, well-organised, and full of engaging activities that keep him learning and smiling. We've noticed real progress in his communication, confidence, and social skills since joining.
As parents, it's reassuring to know he is so well cared for. We couldn't be happier with the level of attention, kindness, and professionalism the team shows. Highly recommended
Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review.

My daughter really likes going. Very happy with the current running of the nursery. Few changes over the last couple of years but it finally seems to be settling down and going in the right direction again. Caring and friendly staff, good management, always available with prompt responses. Would highly
recommend this nursery.

We are so happy with our daughter's experience at Grosvenor over the last 9 months. She has settled really well and actively looks forward to going to "school". The staff in the baby room have all been so friendly and have really taken the time to get to know our little one.
A few standouts for me:
1.
The app updates are fantastic and it's lovely to see pictures of our daughter getting involved in fun activities with her friends
2. They really take preferences into account and I'm happy that the food she gets is as healthy as it is at home - and she certainly eats more of it at nursery!
3. The Easter/Mother's Day/Father's Day/Halloween/Christmas photos, cards and crafts we get home with are a special touch, as are the fun days and events
4. The rooms are so spacious and it's great that each room has its own outdoor space which is appropriate for the development level they're at
Couldn't recommend more highly.

We love Grosvenor House! They have looked after our son so well since we moved him there and we are looking forward to our youngest starting there in September. The dedication and love from the staff, the welcoming environment and huge range of activities they do is amazing. My son always comes out
of nursery full of beans and I can tell he's had a wonderful day each time. Communication is excellent and they run so many fantastic open days for all the families. We recently went to one this weekend with a bbq, fire engine, games, a performer and loads more. The nursery puts lots of effort into these extra days and it is hugely appreciated!

We are so happy with this nursery. It is such a cry and nurturing environment and we feel so comfortable sending our children there. The staff are very welcoming and know the children really well. They do lots of really fun activities and they also have regular events for parents to attend, which we
also really well thought out and enjoyable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Grosvenor House to any potential family.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 9 months old, and overall, we've had a very positive experience. She loves going and the room staff are fantastic, very caring and dedicated, building great relationships with the children. She thrives in their care, and they work hard to create a nurturing
environment. However, communication needs improvement and staff retention has been a serious issue, affecting consistency. In the preschool room, there are usually just two staff members (sometimes only one) with a large group. Adding a third staff member, even part-time, would allow smaller groups and more individual attention. We really enjoy the community days, but outings like trips to parks, which were a highlight in the past, haven't happened in over a year. The promised forest school has also not materialised even with several promises. Despite these challenges, we deeply appreciate the care the staff provides, and my daughter's happiness at nursery speaks volumes.
Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback!

It's wonderful to know she thrives in the nurturing environment we've worked hard to create. We also deeply appreciate your honest comments regarding communication, staff retention and the need for more staff support in the preschool room. We understand how these factors impact the consistency of care and we're committed to addressing these concerns.

My daughter has been going to The Grosvenor House Day Nursery and Preschool since she was 9 months old now she is two. I felt welcome since I had my first visit to the nursery something told me that this was the right one for my daughter and time showed me that I was right. My daughter settled in so
fast and the staff did a great job making this happen. They have been so caring toward her and they are still the same. The transition from room to room was so smooth and it wasn't a problem at all for her. Again this is thanks to the staff that works there. They made her hit her milestone so early and her development in all areas is wonderful and this melts my heart. The management also is so helpful and always they help me in different situations as a working parent such as booking extra sessions; they communicate every change that happens to the nursery. The nursery it's super clean and the food is great. My daughter is going to be in this nursery until she starts school.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.374)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.374) out of 10 for Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 16 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 4.922 for Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.922
  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 4.452 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grosvenor House Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 16 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 = 3.9
    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 145 number of registered child places is 29. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 29 = 0.552
  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.
