More than happy with my choice of nursery. My child is coming along so much in a short space of time, using a ton of new words and some new Makaton signs, always bringing things home from the activities they do.
I am very pleased.

Review from Alexandra H (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn’t be happier with our nursery choice for our little girl. She transitioned from another nursery a month ago, and we were worried about how she’d settle, but the team at Elm House have been incredible, and she absolutely loves going to the nursery now. She often comes home with paintings or
drawings that she’s done during the day; we get regular photo updates and are kept up to date on her food/naps etc, via the app.
The facilities are lovely. We really liked the large outside space a lot.
Would highly recommend Elm House!

Our two little ones are new to the nursery and are settling in very nicely thanks to the amazing staff. They are always doing fun and educational activities that will set them up nicely for the future. Thank you Elm House Gateacre.

Review from Michele C (Grandmother of Child) published on 25 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff and manager/owner have been so supportive of my two grandchildren one of whom has special needs.
They have worked on an individual basis and delivered child-centred programmes to help my grandson improve his speech, eye contact, motor skills and education.
They have been patient kind and
caring.
I can't praise them enough.
They have also supported my daughter in her trying to meet milestones.
This is an excellent nurturing educational environment where children are treated as individuals and supported to fulfil their potential. I wish all nurseries were as good as Elm House Gateacre.
Thank you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Can’t rave about this nursery enough. My son started last September after being moved from another nursery. I was worried about his transition but after one day he was so settled, no crying going in and the staff were so reassuring.
The staff have gone over and above to support us over the last year
with his speech delay and some other observations about his behaviours. We now have early intervention to get him the support needed both at home and in nursery.
They have also provided support for myself and always take the time to check in with me at the end of the day when I pick him up.
The app is great as well so I can keep track of what’s been eaten and how much sleep he’s had plus the lovely pictures and updates of his day.

I would 100% recommend Elm House Nursery to anyone looking to have their child in nursery.

Absolutely fantastic nursery, my 2.5 year old daughter has been going there since she turned one so we have experienced the baby room as well as the toddler room. Staff are great and so friendly, nothing is ever too much trouble, and they take the time to teach the children and are always busy doing
activities. Just from the 1.5 years we've been here, you can see improvements being made, to always look for ways to continuously enhance the experience for both children and parents. For example - introduction of the famly app, parent and children events, communication

Since my daughter started at Elm House Day Nursery just over 6 months ago she has come on so much... more confident with people and settled in quickly with the team being so welcoming and ensuring the children are the centre focus. So glad that I chose the Elm House nursery as they have put my worries/anxiety
of my daughter starting a nursery at ease as I know she is in safe hands.

Kind, lovely, friendly, warm and approachable staff. Varied learning environment. Always fun activities happening and interactive days. Supportive of individual child’s targets and achievements, celebrate all things important to each child. Offer support, resources and encouragement to parents and families
as a whole too.

My two children both attend Elm House Gateacre and we are very happy with the nursery. Our children really enjoy the nursery and have good bonds with their carers. The children participate in a wide range of activities and get plenty of time outdoors. The staff are lovely and the management is excellent.

Amazing nursery setting that's helped our little son come on so far as to taking his first steps, learning new words and interacting with other young children his own age. I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a local childcare setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre is the most gorgeous nursery ever. My older daughter went to Elm House so it only felt right for me to let my baby girl follow when we had her. To say I trust their staff with my life is an understatement. From the moment we walked in and still to this day every single
member of staff has been so accommodating, professional and polite at all times. You sense that they treat each child as they would their own and that's what makes them so special knowing how safe she is whilst having to work. My baby girl has come on leaps and bounds in only the few months she has been here, I can't wait to watch her blossom with the help of all the staff. 100% would always recommend this nursery, would be lost without them.

My little boy started in baby room at the end of September, he absolutely loves it. He attends two mornings a week and we can already see how much he is coming on, he seems to understand more and had the chance to get involved in all kinds of activities, so far he has done painting, making pictures
and dance exercise. I love the updates I get from the staff in the room, they already know his likes/dislikes. All the girls have gone above and beyond to settle him in and we are so grateful. We feel at ease when he's at nursery as we know he is well looked after.

Our little boy absolutely loves coming to nursery twice a week. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting in terms of talking and understanding, and physically also eg using cutlery etc. He has a brilliant time with the staff a few of whom he has a really special bond with. They all treat him really
well and he comes home happy and full of things to say. He's only 20 months and has been going since he turned 1 - he settled in quickly despite never being away from me for more than a few hours before. He eats well-balanced meals, does loads of activities, and is clearly well cared for. Couldn't speak more highly of the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was really nervous about moving my little boy from his original setting as we moved to the area but then we visited Elm House. Instantly put at ease and everything was explained fully for us. Our little boy is currently awaiting assessment for ASD and the nursery have been amazing. From meeting with
us and his old setting prior to him starting, to helping us ensure referrals had been made to the correct places, nothing has been too much trouble. Honestly couldn't feel more at ease if I tried, even getting support with the next steps which will be my little one's transition to primary school. Cannot thank the Manager and little one's key workers and SEN enough. You truly are amazing and we are so grateful!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've recently moved and decided to find a nursery closer to my home for my little boy who's nearly 3, I was worried about moving him as he did love going to the nursery he was in but it just wasn't realistic. I found Elm House and went for a visit and I couldn't have been happier, so much to do for
the children and every member of staff was so kind and welcoming. My son had his first-hour session today to get settled in and he went in all smiles and came out having made loads of new friends and had a lovely time. Also, the attention to detail in the application forms was impeccable from what your child's likes and dislikes are, down to their daily routine, they couldn't have made the handover process more smooth and they left no stone unturned in truly getting to know my son before he even starts. Thank you so much to everyone at Elm House for doing such an amazing job. Couldn't have found a better place for him to be.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.975 for Elm House Day Nursery Gateacre is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.975
  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 20 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 20 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.
