Review from S R (Mother of Child) published on 2 July 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff are very welcoming and friendly enabling you to feel like your child will be in safe hands. The app used for parents to track the day is beneficial, allows you to check in on your child. It's up to date, and I get regular updates. Also, when I pick up my child, I get a rundown on the day. My child
seems to have settled in well and is learning new things through messy play. We have set actions for the next few weeks which is good for development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my kids have gone since they were one. My firstborn started when it was first opening, and I have seen it improve greatly and become a nursery to be proud of.
My kids love every moment, and the staff have excelled, in my opinion, at their job. They not only teach the children, but they get to
know them and their parents making, it a more personal experience.
Highly recommend.

Review from Kosar S (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is an absolute gem. Tucked away and half a mile away from our house, we really couldn't have asked for anything else for our daughter. It's the only nursery we visited and we really couldn't believe our luck. Our daughter started playing on our first visit. She took to the environment like
a duck to water. The staff and management are so friendly and accommodating. My daughter has been there for six months now and they always put her needs first. Each time I go to collect her the quality of feedback I get at handover is outstanding. The staff will be fully aware of what she has been doing all day or for half the day, with what she has eaten and when her nappy was changed. I'm always impressed by the level of detail they give me. So far in the six months of being there, she has been part of so many celebrations, Christmas, Diwali, Chinese new year, Milaad, Valentines and Mother's Day, just to name a few. The app for parents is also outstanding.

Review from Anne J (Foster Parent of Child) published on 25 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My foster daughter has been at Sherwood Green since September 2020. I have never had a problem with anyone there. My daughter loves going, and she wants to go on a weekend, and I've never had a problem with her there. They do lots of different activities for every event that happens and includes every
child. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Safety is their main priority. The play area outside could do with being a bit bigger, but the children love it and manage.

Review from Eugenia S (Grandmother of Child) published on 4 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My both grandchildren attending Sherwood Green Nursery. Both love to come every day and explore new activities. The nursery is very well resourced, there is a lot to do for children, like messy play, phonics classes, lots of physical activities and outdoor play. They made such great progress since they
started nursery. They were very fussy eaters when they started, but now they love the healthy food provided at the nursery. They love all the events that Sherwood Green provides like Halloween Party, Valentines Party, Christmas Party etc. The staff at Sherwood Green are really professional, very helpful, they keep you up to date with the progress that the children make. I can't prise this nursery enough. Thank you so much to all the team that make my grandchildren extremely happy every day!

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.
