I just wanted to share my experience with Nursery on the Green (NOG) as we've completed a year here with my daughter. As a first-time parent, leaving your little one is daunting, but NOG has been amazingly supportive.


The keyworkers in Caterpillars really got to know us and helped settle my daughter

in, while guiding me to establish a consistent routine at home too. They even supported her weaning journey, teaching her self-weaning and independence, it's been brilliant!


We travel from Dunstable 4 times a week and I don't regret my choice at all. The vibe at NOG is what sold me, it's like nowhere else. Highly recommend

Our son had a wonderful experience at NOTG. He attended from 12months old to 2years 8months. Unfortunately, we have now relocated.


During his time at NOTG we never experienced any issues at all. All of the staff were excellent - each morning and evening there was a warm welcome at reception and it

was always a pleasure to drop him off with his pals and pick him up at night and hear about his day.


Moments (photos) we received during the day were lovely, he was well fed and the environment was safe and secure. In such a caring and supportive space, we felt our son was able to flourish and gain confidence interacting with peers.


For others considering nurseries in the area, we really can't recommend it highly enough. It was slightly further away from our house than some other options, but it was worth the extra drive. Thanks again to everyone who at NOTG!

My son has been here over a year and is thriving. He's formed great relationships with all staff and is learning so much. They're also great at catering to his allergies and any additional requests/requirements to meet both the child's best interest and parent's wishes.

My son has been at this nursery since earlier this year and he has really settled in so well. The staff are warm, caring, and welcoming, which made the transition much easier. He eats really well there and they offer a great variety of meals. There are always lots of different activities to keep him
engaged, and he especially loves the garden with its mud kitchen and slide.


The team also work closely with the children on their development milestones, and we really value the regular updates and photos we receive - it's lovely to see him happy and enjoying what he's been up to. We're so pleased with the care and support he gets here. It's wonderful to see him so happy and thriving in such a nurturing environment.

My son has been attending the nursery 5 days a week since we moved to Redbourn in January 2025 and he absolutely loves it. It's the first nursery we've been to where I can walk him into the setting in the morning and it's really lovely to see what's being set up for the day- a hive of activity but warm,
inviting and relaxing. All of the staff are clearly passionate about what they do and you can see that it's really well organised with each member of staff clear on what's going to happen that day and assigned to particular responsibilities. My son absolutely loves the outdoor area which is huge and he can move freely between indoors and outdoors throughout the day. Food menus is great- I can see what he's had on the menu board each day and on collection the staff always give a thorough run-down of what my son has been up to that day. The nursery has a real family vibe to it and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Our daughter has loved her time at Nursery on the Green, and we've had such a positive experience there as parents. The team have been so accommodating with us - from registration and booking settles, to flexibility on the number of settles and when she started. The atmosphere in the pre-school is just
what I wished for - happy children busily occupied with a variety of enriching activities and kind, friendly staff caring for them. The garden space is amazing with loads to do too. I really recommend this setting and am so grateful to the team for the care they gave and all the fun they have had with our girl.

My son has attended Nursery on the Green in Redbourn for just over a year and will be leaving in August to start Reception. I had visited other nurseries nearby, but this one stood out for its warmth and spacious setting. From day one, the staff have been incredible - warm, caring, and always keeping
us informed with regular updates, which has been greatly appreciated. Thanks to the amazing team, he settled in seamlessly and has grown so much in confidence, independence, and social skills. He especially loves the outdoor play area and often comes home talking about all the fun he has had playing his favourite games with the staff.
Since joining, it's been clear that everyone makes an effort to engage with him, which has made his time there truly special. We are so grateful for the positive, nurturing environment and the support he has received. Saying goodbye will not be easy, but we are thankful for the happy memories and the brilliant start to his early years.

My 2yo has been attending the nursery for several months. We love how patient, caring and kind all the staff has been to him. He's settled very well and we can see him getting more confidence and independence since attending the nursery. He shared how much he enjoyed his time in the nursery every time
we picked him up. And sometimes he's not willing to leave!
We highly recommend this nursery to every parent.

My daughter has loved attending nursery on the green and has made some special friends along the way.
Thank you for the amazing level of care, love, and guidance the team have given her over the past three years.
From her very first day, we've seen her grow in confidence, independence and kindness
and so much of that is thanks to the nurturing environment you've created. The warmth and patience shown by every member of the team have made her time at nursery so happy and enriching. You've not only prepared her for school but helped shape the wonderful little person she's becoming.
 Thank you for everything you all do  - for catering for her special diet, for the  cuddles when she needed them and for all the little moments in between.

My little boy has attended Nursery on the Green 3 days a week for nearly a year and absolutely loves it. From our settling in sessions to today all of the staff we come in contact with are brilliant. Since he has started and was only just walking and saying a few little words to now running around and
forming full sentences they have adapted and helped us so much. All of the staff are invested in his progression and the key workers he has had have gone above and beyond any expectation we had. The environment is fun and engaging and the updates through the day via the app puts a smile on your face with all the fun activities hey get up to. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son attends the nursery four days a week and he absolutely loves it. From day one, the team has been incredibly welcoming and supportive, helping him to settle in quickly and feel comfortable. We've seen so much progress in his development since he started-his speech has come on leaps and bounds,
he's made lovely friendships, and he's become much more confident with potty training.
What really stands out is the genuine care and attention the staff give to each child. His key person, has been absolutely fantastic. She's built such a strong bond with him and always keeps us updated on how he's doing, which gives us real peace of mind.
The whole team is amazing-friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The environment is nurturing, fun and keep the children engaged and learning. We're so grateful for the positive impact the nursery has had on him, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other parents.

I was worried about my daughter starting Nursery as I hadn't left her during my maternity leave however the staff made me feel so much more comfortable as I knew my daughter was in great hands. The settling in period was great and helped us both adjust, I cannot fault the communication I've had letting
me know how my daughter is getting on.
All the staff are really friendly and if I call to check up they are always very helpful. My daughter's key worker her Key Worker is a star and updates me regularly through the app and completely understands the transition it has been for me as well as my daughter.


I have been so happy with the Nursery and my daughter loves going and has developed so much in a short period of time! Her speech is rapidly improving and she's talking about the friends she has made. We talk about Nursery on days off and my daughter is animated when remembering her time there.


I would definitely recommend Nursery on the Green to any parents.

Our 4-month old son joined Nursery on the Green a couple of months ago. We only have good things to say about Nursery on the Green. The staff are welcoming and caring, they always engage with new learning opportunities! Our child joined when he was very young, so it was very important for us to feel
reassured that he is safe and well looked after. We have no doubts that , he will develop in a happy and loving environment, and looking forward to attending every session!
We receive daily updates about his routine, sleeping times, food, and progress.


We would certainly recommend this nursery to others!


Two big pluses: i) they respond to e-mails and phone calls very quickly, and ii) the beautiful surroundings.

My daughter looks forward to going to the Nursery on the Green and loves all the staff there. They clearly treat her well, know her personality and needs which are met perfectly. They provide a variety of activities each day. They have been very flexible and supportive with amending leave dates for
our daughter with uncertainty around a move. I leave my daughter feeling completely confident she will be safe and well looked after every session. Would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My daughter absolutely loves coming here, she has a very close link with the ladies who look after her. She has been able to pick up a lot of life skills and been able to create friendship bonds. There is a lot of enrichment for the kids to do with a revolving schedule of topics they teach week to week.
The in-house cooking of all meals I believe has helped my daughter enjoy all different tastes of food.

We relocated to Redbourn with our daughter when she was 2.5 years old (July 2023) and she joined the Butterflies/Pre-School room. She loved her time at Nursery on the Green. All the staff were kind and caring and she engaged in a wide range of activities. We received a monthly update regarding her development
and overall were very happy with her care.
Our son joined the Caterpillars (baby) room in April 2024. The staff were fantastic, warm and caring, and he loved the variety of messy play/ different activities he could get involved in. Our son requires an inhaler and we found one particular member of staff, to be very helpful, diligent and reassuring in regards to knowing when to use it, which was great.
We were sad to leave Nursery on the Green after 18 months and would definitely recommend them.

Our nursery experience has been such a joy despite feeling anxious about sending my daughter to the care of others when she was 9 months old. The team in the Caterpillar room have been so great in welcoming my daughter and filling her days with activities we wouldn't ever get the chance to do day to
day at home. They don't miss a beat, suggesting we change my daughter's bottle when they noticed she was drinking less, and it worked perfectly. Couldn't thank them enough.

My child has been going to this nursery for a little over a year now and it has been so fantastic to see how much she loves it there. It is evident that the staff care about her and encourage her development to bring out her happiest self. It was thoroughly comforting to see her adapt to the nursery
so quickly when she first started and the communication through the parent app was also great to see little picture updates. The learning story updates provide me a great insight into the nursery's perception of her development which is lovely to see.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Nursery on the Green (Redbourn) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.950 for Nursery on the Green (Redbourn) is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.95
  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 Nursery on the Green (Redbourn) is based on 27 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
