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.

I'm glad for the way the nursery is run and the programme you use in your system to teach the children.
In the beginning, my children were able to communicate effectively, but now I'm seeing great success.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since September. The nursery is wonderful always loads of activities going on, for each special occasion or holiday they have lovely decor. All the staff are lovely and friendly. The manager is really good and always available when you need to talk to her.
My daughter's key worker has the best interest of my daughter, she always has loads of activities planned and she always passes us feedback on any concerns or anything new about my daughter I am comfortable talking about and we share how she is progressing. My daughter has learnt a lot and also started to talk now. The nursery has an app so we can follow about all activities she has done and if she has eaten or not. I can also message on the app and usually get a reply within an hour. Can't recommend this nursery any more. Lovely nursery lovely staff.

Fantastic nursery. I highly recommend it, the staff are very friendly and helpful. They provide a daily report about the child on blossom app, they also send photos every day, so you can see if your child is enjoying it. My daughter loves the place very much and enjoys her time there. In my opinion,
it is the best nursery in Bradford. The most important that the nursery is very clean!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Highly recommend Sherwood Green Nursery.
Excellent communication with parents and attentive staff. It took a while for my daughter to settle, but the staff were really good at reassuring her, she eventually loved it so much and looked forward to going in. Eating fresh meals with the rest of the children
more or less fixed her picky eating. She now enjoys eating vegetables and a variety of other foods at home too because of exposure to them at nursery.
The staff are very well trained and well mannered. They made my daughter feel super special, and I can only assume they do this with every child.
Unfortunately she will be leaving to start school, but I will be sending my son starting September.
Reply from Emilia Olkowska, Nursery Director at Sherwood Green NurseryThank you ever so much for your kind words. We wish her all the best in her school journey and can not wait to welcome her little brother in September.

Review from Francesca R (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Sherwood Green Nursery for nearly a year and a half, and my husband, daughter and I could not be happier. The staff are fantastic, regularly updating us throughout the diary via the app on what she has been up to that day. Picking her up, we are always provided with detail
about her day, what she ate, if she slept etc. They always go the extra mile to celebrate and educate the kids about all holidays and create such a lovely atmosphere for the kids. You genuinely feel like your child is their favourite child, which helps you if you're anxious to leave them. I can't thank the staff enough. I was so nervous about my daughter starting nursery - now I wish they had a primary school attached so she wouldn't have to leave next year!
The food is fantastic; home cooked and includes a morning and afternoon snack of fresh fruit, vegetables, crackers etc. Such a fab range of healthy meals such a curry, pies, pizza, pasta, salad etc. Highly recommend!
Reply from Emilia Olkowska, Nursery Director at Sherwood Green NurseryThank you, Francesca, for such a lovely review. It is our pleasure to look after your daughter and be a part of her early year's journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughters have been attending Sherwood Green Nursery for just over a year now, and I could not be more pleased with their progress. The staff are hands-on, caring, friendly and very supportive. The outdoor space is amazing and really allows the kids to be able to explore and play; my girls have different
resources available to them in the classroom to support them in developing social and academic skills. I have enjoyed attending the nursery events on several occasions and being able to see where my children are learning. I have always found the nursery to be immaculate in all areas, especially hygiene. I really appreciate the nursery making an effort with different meal options on a daily basis for the children, but most of all, I really have to thank all the staff for how much they do to make sure parents have a daily update on their child and send pictures for reassurance really is a reassuring and personal touch that makes them stand out.
Reply from Emilia Olkowska, Nursery Director at Sherwood Green NurseryThank you for such a glowing review. We pride ourselves on the well-being and learning journey of all our children. We are excited to continue to work with your daughters and continue their nursery adventure.

I highly recommend Sherwood Green Nursery. The quality of care is of high standards, and our children are being well looked after.
Great feedback to parents from the staff on what the children are up to and how they are developing. The nursery provides an app that keeps us up to date, and we can see
videos and pictures of our children. It definitely gives us peace of mind. Sherwood Green ensure the children are happy, and they have plentiful activities to keep the children engaged. The outside area is great too. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, the staff are all friendly, caring and professional, and I have every trust in them caring for my child.

Sherwood Green Nursery has provided an excellent early start to my nephew's education. He has become much more confident and has participated in many extracurricular activities as well as fun, engaging and educational programmes. What I love about Sherwood Green is that it works with not just the child
but parents and the community too. We were invited to online Zoom tea mornings as mums, dads and carers to help improve parents wellbeing and mental health. They don't cut corners, invest in a child's long term future, and are open to suggestions. I would happily recommend using their services.

I have sent my son here for the past 3-years, and never have I ever had any grievances.
The management is very understanding and caring towards parents, and my son gets the best care and level of education. He comes home happy every day and talks about what he’s learnt in the nursery and his key worker.
They regularly invest in resources and events and activities and keep my little one engaged. I get regular updates on the nursery app on my phone, and I have peace of mind for him to attend here. I have recommended this nursery to all my colleagues, friends and family and whoever else has joined absolutely loves it too.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) 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 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.908 for Sherwood Green Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (527 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 565 Ratings = 4.908
  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 47 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 47 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.
