Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son got a rare genetic disease so he got a severe developmental delay. Yet the staff is very helpful in teaching my son with different skills, and they are proactively approach us to discuss the short term play plan as well as long term development plan. They are also helpful in providing neutral
comment to my son's EHCP application. I highly recommended this nursery as they are really adaptive and passionate for every child they take care of.

Elm House and its staff have been fantastic. Our boys, since starting more than a year ago have learned so much through play and interacting with the staff. They absolutely love their teachers and key workers. The staff have been super supportive and encouraging to us parents as well. Shout out to the
Daisy Chains team who really supported us parents when we first enrolled. Our boys were sad to move on to the next stage and still maintain they're the "best ever." To the team of Daffodils and Sunflowers, you've really helped them continue in their development and readiness for big school! The communication is superb. We definitely recommend to anyone looking for a supportive and enriching environment for their little ones

Elm House nursery has been the perfect placement for my daughter - she absolutely loves going there! The staff are all lovely, professional and dedicated to the children's development and care needs. I'm so happy with my daughter's progress since starting in September 25, a huge credit to the nursery
and staff. I felt nervous when she first started, as any new parent might, but the staff were so calm and reassuring that I instantly felt safe knowing they would look after her and go at her pace. They also consistently provide updates via their nursery app, so parents are always informed of everything as required. Would 100% recommend to any parents/guardians.

My son has been at Elm House nursery since his previous pre school lost funding. He was very sad about this and unfortunately had a not so great experience in a follow up nursery (not Elm House).
The staff at Elm House made my boy feel so welcome and went above and beyond to help him settle. This
is a wonderful nursery and I would recommend it to anyone.

My son started end of Nov, I was so worried about him starting. Especially as he has a dairy allergy & being so young he was 10 months when he started. They've been fantastic! Bobby loves going in and me and his dad can see how much he's thriving. He loves everyone there goes in smiling and leaves smiling
too. He's came on leaps and bounds. I can tell he feels safe and secure. Any issues the girls are great to inform us either via the app or over the phone. They are amazing with updates on Bobbys development and any observations. I was so nervous about passing him over to other people to care for but he's loved it from day one!! I knew when I went to visit that first day that it was the right place for us.

My son attends Elm House Day Nursery in Gateacre for 5 months and we have been really happy with the care and support he receives. The staff are kind, patient and very understanding, and they always take time to support his individual needs. Communication has been great and we feel well informed about
his progress. My son has settled in well and it's reassuring to know he is in such a supportive and nurturing environment. We would happily recommend Elm House to other families.

My daughter started at Elm house at the start of October and she is absolutely loving it. Choosing a nursery is a difficult decision as you want to pick the perfect one, I am so happy we went with elm house. The girls who work there are so lovely and I just know my daughter is in the best hands with
how caring they are towards the children, they keep me and my partner up to date throughout the day which is brilliant and keeps our mind at ease seeing how much fun she is having. My daughter comes out of her sessions there with a big smile on her face each time. The progress she is making is amazing and it's down the girls dedication and hard work they put in to making the nursery a perfect place the for children to grow.

My daughter started baby room recently and she is absolutely loving it! I was so nervous about my daughter starting nursery but they stick to her home routine as much as possible and ask me about everything involving her care from her food to nappy changes, everything is centered to her. I especially
love the app where I can send messages asking how she is and see when she slept and ate and how much she had. The staff are so friendly and put every worry I have to ease.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a parent, it is so hard to pick a nursery but I have never doubted my decision in sending my little boy to Elm House. The staff go above and beyond everyday and they have really created a family feel.
My little one loves going into nursery every morning and practically runs in (as quick as his
little legs can take him at least). I have found that his speech and confidence has come on loads since starting at Elm House too. He is beginning to create sentences and I really enjoy seeing the posts on their app. I especially love when he comes home all proud with pieces of work he has done.
The staff are great at updating the app with all the essentials of the day such as nappy changes and food intake. I have always found the staff really responsive whenever I've had a question, especially the managers. I have really appreciated how they have answered anything I may ask or find out for me if they don't have the answer right away.
I would highly recommend Elm House.

Really delighted with how my daughter is getting on here. The staff are all so committed and well-trained with regard to early years development, & my little girl has come on so well; she especially loves the garden and animals. The staff take a real interest in her and the other children, and it's
so reassuring to leave my child with people I know I can trust.

My little girl has been attending Elm House Day Nursery for 2 years and has made her way up through 3 classes/rooms. Every carer has been amazing with her and she loves going to nursery and seeing her friends. All the staff have been so friendly with us and are amazing with the children in their care.
The confidence my little one has gained going to nursery and the independence she has is amazing and I couldn't ask for any more from a nursery setting. So glad she has another year here before starting school.

Our nearly 3-year-old has been attending Elm day house nursery for the past 6 months, and we're already so pleased with the progress and happiness we've seen.


From day one, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, supportive, and attentive.


They've created a warm, nurturing environment where

our child has settled in quickly and now looks forward to going each day.


In just a short time, we've noticed improvements in confidence, social skills, and communication. It's clear that the activities are thoughtfully planned to support early development, and the balance of play and learning is just right.

Such a lovely nursery! My little boy settled so well and enjoys it so much, always coming home to tell me all the fun he got up to. He has come on so much with his speech since starting and they have toilet-trained him too which saved me a big job! All staff are lovely and welcoming and the nursery
is always doing lovely gestures for the children. I think at the moment my little boy's favourite is the hot chocolate treat from the hot drink stand. Thank you to all the staff at Elm House and the manager for making my little boys' nursery experience the best.

Nursery are great. My daughter is very happy there and has great relationships with the staff. It's obvious how much they care for her wellbeing. She learns so much when at nursery, she blows me away with her knowledge of the world, events, festivals and life in general. She's been attending nursery
now for coming up to 2 years and her development has come on so well. Nursery staff are always responsive and happy to help.

The nursery and staff are brilliant. Very attentive and the app provides so much comfort. Very glad we were able to secure a spot and our little one loves it in there. You can tell the staff care for the kids on their care so we couldn't s asked for a better nursery.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.955 for Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre is calculated as follows: ( (319 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.955
  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 Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre is based on 28 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
