Am happy with the care provided for my son. I am at ease knowing that my son is being taken care of properly, health-wise and academically. Sherwood helped my son to appreciate nature and taught him how to be a good listener. Thank you to the staff of Sherwood.

I love the way the nursery help children and the way the staff have the connection with students. I am happy with my child’s behaviour and he has become so confident. He also had learned to do a lot of stuff independently. Good job Sherwood Green staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Sherwood Green Nursery are amazing, friendly, very helpful and extremely caring with the children. My son has been attending the nursery since he was 1 and he loves it there, it feels like a second home to him. Whenever he’s been away on holiday and felt unsettled, the staff have made sure
to make him feel settled and comfortable right away! they are very nurturing and supportive. Many thanks to the staff who have been a part of my son’s development and 1st stages in life and are now preparing him for school, for all the hard work and dedication, helping with potty training, making sure he is eating even when being fussy and making every day a fun environment to go to. I would highly recommend Sherwood Green Nursery, I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for my son.

Sherwood Green Nursery is a great nursery for my little one. When he started nursery he was so scared and not confident but slowly he learned everything, he learned talking and sharing and he’s so confident now. All the staff are very nice and kind that’s why he loves to go to nursery. Thanks.

Sherwood Green Nursery is literally the best nursery I know! I'm so glad my child comes here because I feel like the staff actually cares about each child in the nursery, and they spend so much time, especially with mine. I cannot thank the nursery and staff enough for helping me and my child.

Amazing nursery. My child loves going to nursery. I get updated throughout the day on how he is, what he’s doing and what he has been eating. He’s also started speaking a lot and becoming more caring. He has made friends and wants to go to school so he can see them.

My little boy started the nursery in September. He's done amazing. If I did not put him in this nursery, I don't think he would do half the stuff he can do now. The nursery has helped him so much. I'm really happy with the nursery. I would recommend this nursery to any other parent.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Sherwood Green Nursery 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.932 for Sherwood Green Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (517 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 541 Ratings = 4.932
  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 Sherwood Green Nursery is based on 45 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 45 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.
