Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A really well run nursery, lovely caring and well trained staff. Food is excellent with a range of tastes and styles. A key feature for me is its right next to the park for afternoon strolling and toddling.

Review from P H (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been attending this nursery since she was 13 months old, starting with a couple of half days a week, and gradually moving up to four full days now that she's older. It has provided her with such a great environment to socialise and learn. She has loved making friends there, engaging in
all of their activities, playing in the garden and going for walks, and she has become very fond of the staff. Great experience for us all around.

Review from Louise D (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Always feel happy leaving my son with the staff here. They're so kind and caring. He always seems to be doing different activities, enjoys the varied food offerings, and I love that he gets taken out for walks. I really like the detail shared on the app and the ability to message the manager and always
get a quick response when required.

Overview of Review Score

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.880 for Green Giraffe Nursery & Pre-School - Pontcanna is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.88
  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 Green Giraffe Nursery & Pre-School - Pontcanna is based on 23 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 + 0.025 = 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 23 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.
