Would definitely recommend Elm House, with my child being only 9 months old I was really worried about leaving her and finding the best nursery. As soon as I went into Elm House everyone was so welcoming and friendly and interested in the baby, it made me feel at ease. She had three settling-in sessions
and absolutely loved them, she didn't want to leave there. She's now started full time and I couldn't be happier with her being there.

Couldn't recommend Elm House enough. I was dreading going back to work and leaving my little boy but he absolutely loves going to nursery and that is down to the caring and nurturing staff. The girls are so welcoming, always answering the door with a smile. I am a really anxious person by nature but
the girls have all helped with that, keeping me updated through the day as to what my little boy is up to, nappies, food and naps. The nursery itself is really spacious and they have adopted a Montessori approach to how the rooms and toys are displayed. They follow the philosophy of Albert Bowlby who believed that the bonds children made in their early years significantly impacted their later years, placing an emphasis on the role of caregivers in a child's life. This is certainly true of Elm House, all the staff are so involved with my little boy and I have already seen the progress he has made within a couple of weeks.

My son started this nursery in March, he’s never been away from me since he was born and I was very anxious about putting him in nursery, l did look around but found Elm House Nursery so welcoming and they made me feel at ease. The best choice I made and the staff are lovely.

My daughter started Elm House nursery this year (2022). The staff are amazing. My LG has a health condition and the staff/manager and owner went above and beyond to knowledge themselves on her HCP. My LG has blossomed so much since starting Elm House and is so excited every morning to get ready and
go. We have trouble on a weekend when it’s not nursery days lol. Can not thank Elm House staff enough for the care they take every day looking after my LG and all her nursery friends. Thank you Elm House staff.

My daughter enjoys going to the nursery. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and communication with parents is great. The children do a range of activities and everyone is very accomodating of individual children's needs and parent's wishes. The nursery celebrates lots of events for the children
to get involved with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy started at Elm House at the start of the year but we were able to visit more than once whilst making a decision on what nursery to send him to and we were made to feel very welcome on the occasions when we went to see the setting. The staff answered all my questions and I felt like they
understood my concerns and worries about our boy starting nursery as he would only have been 10 months old when starting.
We are very pleased so far with the nursery as a whole and we have noticed how happy he is when he has spent the day at Elm House.
I would definitely recommend the nursery to parents looking to find a safe and happy environment for their child.
Staff are approachable and are always happy to communicate how the day has gone which makes us feel really valued as parents.

My little boy started Elm House in October and has come on leaps and bounds! He runs in every session with a big smile on his face and never looks back and comes out giggling. The staff are so kind and caring and he has built such lovely relationships with them. I feel so confident in leaving him in
their care knowing he is so looked after.

Our little girl has never been in the care of people she is not familiar with so we were quite anxious about her starting. She is attending nursery three days a week and although she has only just started we can already see that she is settling more and more on each visit. This is down to the caring
and friendly staff on site. We receive a written update at the end of every day and pictures are often sent throughout the day, which I love to see. Getting regular updates and pictures really does help to see how she is doing and it highlights the hard work being done by the staff. The girls never make you feel like you cannot call them to check up on your child and they are always willing to talk through her day as well. We are so pleased we chose Elm House for our little girl and we cannot wait to see how much she grows and develops under their amazing care. This nursery is a must-see, you won't be disappointed.

My 2 children attend Elm House and we are so pleased with how they settled in, the girls are lovely and always give you time to talk through the child's day. My wee boy was a covid baby and had never been to Nursery but he's settled in so well and runs in the door now. Would most definitely recommend
Elm House.

My little boy has been here since October 2021. He is only in 1 day a week but is now starting to settle and play and eat well. The girls always keep me informed on how he’s doing and if he’s been having fun and doing well or a bit unsettled. They always say feel free to call and check on him through
the day. They are lovely welcoming girls. I like to receive his daily slip which sets out his nappy changes, food/milk intake, naps, and little daily update of play. It really helps to keep me in the know about how he got on that day. I really like the layout of the nursery. The nursery will also provide a print-out of photos if you ask them which is lovely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at this nursery after moving from another. I was worried he would miss his old routine, surroundings and friends, but the girls are amazing with him.


Three ladies, in particular, are fantastic. They have helped him settle quickly and focused on his favourite activities to help him

feel more comfortable.
They even gave me a canvas with pictures of him from his first day, which was a lovely gesture.


The owner and manager are lovely, really approachable and assuring.


My son has been on lots of lovely little trips with the nursery, including the library, park and fruit/veg picking, which he loves.


The nursery itself is spotless, bright and full of children's artwork. They have a toy for every child's interest and a lovely outdoor play area.


I am really pleased I picked this nursery, my son has come on leaps and bounds. He has settled wonderfully, made lots of new friends and loves the staff.


I would highly recommend this nursery.

Such a lovely place. All the staff are great. My daughter has lots of fun and always runs in and has a smile on her face. She has made lots of new friends and comes home with lots of paintings and drawings, which I love to see.

My little boy loved his first week at nursery! He has never been to nursery before and whenever he’s been left its always been with family. This was the first time he was left with people he didn’t know. I was worried at how he would react especially after lockdown and not being able to interact with
new faces. He really surprised me and ran into nursery both days. The staff made me feel so reassured and comfortable which made it easier for me to leave him. The staff are all lovely, easy to talk to and are all really genuine. The nursery is immaculate. No weird smell like nurseries tend to have. A lovely outdoor space. Set back and all gated away from the main road. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Where do I begin! My daughter has never been to nursery before. I was really worried that she wouldn’t settle in as she hasn’t left us before, especially with lockdown etc. She walked straight in, and when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to come home and ended up staying for longer! She’s already
asking to go back. She did loads of activities. Climbing outdoors, painting, watering plants, coloured in. The nursery is immaculate and has every toy you can think of and a lovely outdoor play area too. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and she already loves them. She even tried food she’s never tried before. Got a little pack of homemade play-doh to make at home and a lovely canvas of photos to show her first day. Highly highly recommend this nursery to anyone. My daughter can’t wait to go back!

We registered our son at this nursery to start at the beginning of January. We are very pleased with what he has learnt so far. All of the staff especially the manager have made us feel very welcome, and on his 1st day, he brought home pictures of what he was doing on that day. Would recommend this
nursery.

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.
