The nursery is very good. My child enjoys coming to this nursery. He enjoys eating his food here. He enjoys eating vegetables at home and also likes counting his numbers. He likes his teachers and has become more confident.

Absolutely the best nursery and caring staff. Sending our daughter here was the best decision we made. When our daughter found it difficult to settle in, the teachers were so welcoming and made her feel at ease. One member of staff is doing a fantastic job with various activities planned out for kids
for their cognitive development. Kudos to the nursery for their care and commitment.

Absolutely amazing nursery. My daughter has come along so much with her speech and walking, as well as making friends and social skills; she loves coming here and can’t wait to get started; sometimes, she’s so happy that she forgets to say bye to the staff. Absolutely brilliant and understanding, as
well as keeping me updated with anything.

My daughter is well looked after by the staff in her room as well as others in the nursery. My daughter also has additional needs, and the nursery has been very helpful in making sure she has an EHCP in place for school.

Fantastic nursery - cannot complain about anything!
Really do go the extra mile in all areas!
The staff are amazing, and my child’s progression at Sherwood Green has been outstanding!
She receives the care she needs and is always fed well. Always looked after and clean, never complains about the
nursery and is always looking forward to going; she feels as if it is her second home. And as a parent, I’m very comfortable with all the staff at Sherwood Green, and they ensure my child is well looked after and safe! Really thankful to all the staff for going that extra mile for the children. Thank you so much.

My daughter has been attending nursery for just over a month now and I can happily say since starting nursery my daughter has improved so much. I am happy with the staff, management and all the amazing activities going on, even for special occasions. Her keyworker always updates me on how she has been
through the day and posts lots of pictures for me to see of all the activities she has done. The nursery always ensures my daughter has eaten healthy and had an educational fun day. 10/10 nursery. Would definitely recommend.

The nursery is really good, my son started here at 14 months old, he’s come on loads with his talking and walking, eating etc. I would recommend this nursery to anyone, the best nursery by far. My son loves it and his confidence has come a long way as well.

The staff are friendly and helpful. They have been really good at making a bond with my child and making him feel comfortable.
Meals are healthy, and there’s always something new for him to try.
Loads of activities on events such as Valentine’s Day etc, keep kids entertained.

My daughter has been attending Sherwood Green Nursery since last year September. The outcome is fantastic. She is slowly starting to get there with her language and social skills, which I’m proud of as it was a real struggle for her before she started nursery. She has started to engage more in play
which is great. The staff are really engaged and involved with her, which is a good thing to me as it seems like she is in great care. They know how to deal with her tantrums and understand her.

I love how they always keep me updated on my child, whereas previous nurseries haven’t done this. My child seems very happy here and has settled in quickly within a few sessions, which surprised me as she’s young.

Overall, it’s a lovely nursery, so very welcoming; my son loves it. I always get pictures and an update on how his day has been, and they always ring me if there are any problems.
I cannot fault this nursery.
I love the staff; they are lovely to talk to in the morning.

I'm really pleased with the nursery and the staff. I can see a massive change in my little one's behaviour and how much he is learning over here. The staff are well trained and definitely look after the little ones in the best possible way.

Sherwood Green Nursery is a very fantastic nursery. All the staff are friendly and approachable and provide a safe learning environment for my child. We had a negative experience with a different nursery prior to my son's enrollment, but since attending Sherwood Green, my child is progressing and is
much happier. The staff are lovely to work with; they provide high standards of care and learning to my son, and they go above and beyond to support him and keep us involved regularly. I love the app that the nursery use; it keeps us parents informed about our son's day-to-day activities, as well as his progression and parents can contribute to this. My child enjoys attending his sessions; he is able to learn in a way that he understands and is progressing with lots of support and encouragement from the staff. This nursery was recommended to myself, and I would definitely recommend it to others!

The staff are brilliant, always telling me about my child's progress and what she has done during her time at nursery. My daughter does not like to brush her teeth at home, but at nursery, she always listens and brushes her teeth. The staff ensure she listens and follows rules. They have a variety of
different foods and snacks, and she enjoys her meals at the nursery.

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.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 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

  • b) 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
