Review from Lucille T (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at Flower Pots since he was 1. Finding the right nursery to trust with the wellbeing of our baby for the first time ever was obviously a huge deal. We visited 2 other local nurseries and Flower Pots Apsley outshone the competition by far. You could tell that the kids were happy and
the staff wanted to be there.


Fast forward to now, our son has moved from the baby room to waddlers, toddlers and is now in pre-school at age 3. Every single member of staff has been lovely and somehow they all know each child by name which just goes to show how hands on everyone must be. We are a two mum family and have never been made to feel discriminated against. We get weekly updates with photos to give us an insight into what he has been up to and regular more in-depth progress reports. We are very grateful to all the staff at Flower Pots Apsley who have played a part in shaping his first steps into socialising and schooling. Thank You!

When my little one first started nursery I was full of worries as the thought of trusting a stranger with your child is terrifying. I am so happy I chose Flowerpots Apsley as my worries quickly went away when I soon learned how caring and attentive the staff are towards every child. My child has always
been happy to go in and comes out at the end of the day with a smile on his face and I think that confirms that the children are more than content at this nursery. The staff have fulfilled and gone above all of my expectations. We regularly get updates and pictures throughout the day of what our children have been up to as well as reports and observations. From the baby room to the classroom each room has an amazing environment for development. My child has been at this nursery just before his 1st birthday and will be leaving the setting this summer as he is off to start his new chapter in Reception. I will be sad to say goodbye to the staff and can honestly say my child has thrived here

My son has recently started at flower pots and is loving it. He reaches out for his key worker as soon as he sees her and always seems happy to go in. I love seeing updates on the app as to what my son is up to each day.

Apsley Flowerpots is absolutely fantastic. My 3.5 year old and 2 year old have been going there since they were 1. All of the staff are friendly and extremely supportive. Both children are thriving and come home beaming about their day. They do lots of engaging, interesting activities and always make
time for singing and arts and crafts. The new garden is great, lots of room to run around and fun outdoor activities. 10/10

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From day 1 the staff at Apsley Flower Pots were so welcoming and friendly and accommodating to settling in my child. The staff also are so quick to learn names of the child and parents. My child has grown to absolutely love it there and creates such amazing bonds with all staff members and comes home
and talks about them all the time. They are always so patient with each child through their developments and really help them achieve milestones and goals. The food is always so delicious and my child gets excited when they come home and tell us about their meals they had. Since my child has moved rooms they thrive each day and always go in and come out so bubbly. There is always up to date information about their day on the app and any extras the staff let us know whether it be something funny the child did that day or something exciting they have been working on. There is also always lots of activities and since the gardens have been done up the children love it out there.

My son started here three weeks ago and the staff have been nothing short of fantastic.


Talking to the staff, you genuinely get the feeling that this isn't just work for them, they all love their work and give their all to the kids in their care. Any questions we have as first-time parents are answered

quickly and helpfully, and staff are always available through the app, where they share regular updates about my sin and his care.


I really couldn't recommend this nursery more. Everyone is excellent and my kid absolutely loves going here.

Since my daughter has started this nursery nearly 3 years ago she has really grown in herself, I'm so impressed with how far she's come and she's always been supported in this nursery.
I have had a great experience with Flowerpots and highly recommend.
I always have the right updates and throughout
the day activities are posted which is great.

It's the hardest thing to do to trust your little treasure into the care of others, but Flowerpots Apsley have removed any concern. Watching my Grandaughter flower into a happy, well rounded and sociable child is in large part down to the fantastic staff and management. We are kept up to date on progress
and activities on a daily basis through the app, and a handover chat at the end of each day. My Grandaughter looks forward to her sessions and showing us all her songs and dancing moves when she gets home!

We absolutely love this nursery! The staff are truly amazing - it's clear how much they care for our son. They've gone above and beyond to accommodate his specific dietary needs due to his allergies, and we always feel reassured knowing they manage his asthma with great attention and care. It's such
a comfort as parents to see him happy, safe, and thriving in such a nurturing environment. We couldn't ask for more!

From the very beginning, the staff have been so warm and welcoming, knowing every child (and parent!) by name. They create such a friendly and nurturing environment and both of our children love it there and have truly blossomed under their care. The setting and activities have helped them develop in
so many ways, and it's been amazing to see their confidence grow.


Our second child started recently and was a little upset during the settling process, but the team was incredibly reassuring, offering extra photos and updates to put our minds at ease. Their kindness and patience made all the difference. Our eldest has also made so many friends and continues to learn and thrive every day.

Our daughter has been with Flower Pots Apsley for just under 2.5 years now and it was easily one of the best decisions we have made. The setting is clean, safe and stimulating. The staff; from management to carers are exceptional. Our daughter has absolutely thrived under their care. We have never had
issues with payments, care or lack of information. Everything is always communicated to us in a timely manner and with professionalism. When we have a second child, it is going to Flower Pots Apsley without a doubt.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Flower Pots Day Nursery (Apsley) 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.889 for Flower Pots Day Nursery (Apsley) is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.889
  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 Flower Pots Day Nursery (Apsley) is based on 22 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 22 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.
