  • Innsworth Preschool, Gloucester
Innsworth Preschool has been part of the Gloucester community for more than 30 years, providing children aged two to four with a safe, nurturing and inspiring start to their education.

Family-owned and proudly independent, the preschool is guided by the same values parents want for their own children: care, honesty and stability.

As a smaller setting with a large, well-equipped garden, Innsworth Preschool offers a calmer alternative to larger nurseries.

Children enjoy daily outdoor play in a secure, natural environment while benefiting from the close attention and reassurance that only a smaller, family run preschool can provide. Every child is known and valued as an individual.

Staff are highly qualified and experienced, focusing on preparing children for a smooth transition into school with strong social, emotional and early academic skills.

Review from Neelam G (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Where do I even begin? Innsworth Pre-School has been absolutely fantastic. Since our son started in August 2024, we've been so impressed with how well he has settled and how much he looks forward to going each day. The regular updates, photos, and messages mean so much to us as parents-we really feel
nvolved in his day and can see just how much care and attention he receives.
In such a short space of time, the progress he has made has been incredible. His vocabulary has grown, his confidence has blossomed, and he absolutely loves the engaging activities and play opportunities offered. It's clear that the staff put their heart into creating a warm, stimulating, and supportive environment.
Thank you to the entire team for being so wonderful. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and we're truly grateful for everything you do.


Just one suggestion- may be a buggie parking area outside building would be amazing.

I have sent all 6 of my children to this preschool over the last 18 years. I would not dream of sending them anywhere else.They are like family. The changes you have made over the years have been tremendous. I am heartbroken my last child will be leaving here soon. The support I have received has been
over and above. Des is the best.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.468)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.468) out of 10 for Innsworth Preschool 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 4.958 for Innsworth Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958
  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 3.51 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Innsworth Preschool is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.385
  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.
