Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant staff and environment for our son to flourish. The staff are always attentive, take time to update us on our son's day via the app and during pick ups. The food is all organic and they cater to our son's vegetarian diet. He gets loads of time outdoors, via the playground and through trips
to the park and local businesses. We couldn't recommend a better nursery!

Very friendly nursery setting. The ladies are looking after our little one very well, providing updates throughout the day and keeping us informed of any issue. For us, seeing our little one happy to go there and excited once is back home is the most important thing. We truly appreciate the Montessori
learning method, the home made food freshly cooked every day and also the flexibility around planned holidays. Highly recommended.

We're so happy we decided to send our son to Green Giraffe in Penarth. He's loved it since the day he started in Feb this year. The staff genuinely care about him and he has learnt so much since attending. 100% recommend!

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, and often wants to stay for longer when we come to pick her up in the evenings. Her development has come on so much, both educationally and emotionally, and she has made some wonderful friends with whom she loves spending time. I never have any concerns
about leaving her with the nursery, and only have good things to say about all the staff and facilities.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional staff at Green Giraffe. My daughter receives amazing care, and it truly feels personal and the staff have taken the time to really know her. They are always available to answer any questions and engage in friendly conversations which always makes me feel
so reassured. I am so grateful for the loving environment they provide for her.

Our daughter has been attending the Green Giraffe for about a year now, and we've been so impressed with the progress she's made during this time. The dedication and care of the wonderful staff are clearly reflected in her development at home. Everyone has been incredibly kind and nurturing, and we
really appreciate the regular updates through the app, it's wonderful to see her daily and monthly progress documented so thoughtfully.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been delighted with the care our daughter has received at the Penarth Green Girraffe. She joined as a baby, two years ago, and has progressed through the rooms with unwavering support from all the staff who have cared for her.
Having an elder daughter who previously attended multiple different
nurseries, we have a lot of other settings to compare against - and since day one have been impressed by the nurturing approach, lovely facilities, and gentle routines that Green Girraffe offer. However, it's been the dedication and professionalism of the carers who have really set our experience apart.

My children love going to Green Giraffe in Penarth.


The staff are fantastic - they're caring, attentive, and take the time to build strong relationships with both the children and parents. It's clear that they really know and understand each child as an individual.


The food options are excellent,

with healthy and varied meals that my little ones actually enjoy! But most importantly, my children are happy, settled, and excited to go. It's such a relief as a parent to know they're in a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can learn and grow.


I can't recommend this nursery highly enough - it's been such a positive experience for our family!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Only have positive things to say about Green Giraffe Penarth - I am so grateful to have found a nursery which my daughter absolutely loves and where I feel confident and happy leaving her. The staff are amazing - super friendly and they've built such strong relationships with the kids. The facilities
are lovely, food is great. We keep discovering things our daughter can do which we haven't taught her, so she must have learnt at nursery - our favourites being saying 'cheeeese' for a camera and pretending to sleep for the sleepy bunnies song. Always recommend Green Giraffe to parents looking for a nursery in Penarth.

Our son has formed strong bonds with the staff and is always happy to go to nursery. We see all the laughter and fun he has during his day and how confident and independent he is becoming. He eats well and engages with lots of stimulating activities we are delighted that he has settled in so well and
we are very grateful to all the staff for their hard work and care.

From our first tour of the nursery we were settled on Green Giraffe, Penarth.


Our daughter has now been there since September 2024 and we couldn't have asked for more from a nursery.


The way the staff are with all of the children and the communication home has been excellent and we're really

grateful of the daily updates and debriefs!


She's a baby so I understand that she'd be 'growing' anyway but, through time in nursery and all the activities they run, we see her thriving!

The staff at Green Giraffe in Penarth are truly exceptional. My daughter has been attending since March, and I can't express how much peace of mind it gives me to know she's in such caring hands. It's always clear at pick-up that she's had a wonderful day - she comes out happy and content. The team
consistently takes the time to share thoughtful updates about her day, including how she was and what she enjoyed most, which I really appreciate.

The team at Green Giraffe are brilliant - I cant tell you how happy it makes me to know that my children love their key workers! My daughter always talks about her friends and the room team, and my son is so well looked after in the baby room - they know exactly which toys he likes!
Also the food
they are fed is such great quality I know they're eating a range of fruit and veg and eating well!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for The Green Giraffe Day Nursery - Penarth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.932 for The Green Giraffe Day Nursery - Penarth is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.932
  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 The Green Giraffe Day Nursery - Penarth is based on 16 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
