Shirley Green Day Nursery

We absolutely adore Shirley Green. Our son started full-time in January and absolutely loves it. He ran straight in this morning without even looking back. The staff are always friendly and care for the children as if they were their own. Communication is fantastic and the nursery is always immaculate. I would highly recommend it.

I honestly don't think I could have picked a better nursery-even if I tried! The staff and management are so warm, kind, and genuinely caring. As a first-time mum, that peace of mind when you leave your little one each day is priceless.

The baby room is always full of fun and variety, and it's clear they really take the time to get to know each child-nothing ever feels like too much trouble. It's so lovely to see how naturally they build such special bonds with the children.

A special shoutout to Mel, who has been absolutely wonderful with my son-from those early settling-in days (which are never easy!) to now, when he happily goes in and clearly loves his time there.

Everything is so well thought out, from the activities to the consistency and care. There's always a great balance of learning, fun, and laughter. Plus, the updates and handovers are fantastic-I always feel in the loop.

I genuinely couldn't ask for more and would happily recommend the baby room at Shirley Green!

Great nursery - my son has been going since January and he's thriving. The staff are warm, caring, and really supportive. He goes in happy most days and comes home even happier. Couldn't recommend them more

The first steps room has been so good for my daughter, a special mention to Maddi who has been really great since she joined. My daughter really loves her and is always so excited to go to nursery to see her which has been so helpful with a new baby at home. She's always chatting about her day and mentioning how Maddi helped her. Her energy seems to match my daughters (which is a challenge in itself!) and her feedback is always so informative and helpful at the end of the day.

You can tell the staff really care for your child and it shows how happy she is to come into nursery each day.

I like that all staff know her name and who you are and not just staff in her room

Amazing nursery - we've seen huge development in our little one's personality and confidence since she joined last year. It took our daughter a couple months to fully settle in and come out of her shell the staff were absolutely brilliant and went above and beyond to help her settle (they also reassured us and this was huge for us as first time parents).

The staff are all extremely kind and caring with the children in both the pre school and toddler room and there are genuine bonds formed - our daughter absolutely adores her teacher Ella as well as her classmates.

There are a large variety of activities that the children get to enjoy including messy play, building, reading, outdoor play, drawing, as well as educational visits from people like Alex the Forest school man!

The food is 5* and extremely healthy with lots of variety. The children are also given fruit and water as well as other healthy snacks throughout the day.

The perfect nursery and we couldn't be happier as parents.

Lovely, friendly, caring staff. Children are kept very occupied throughout the day with a range of activities. Nice outdoor area for the children to play in and a good range of toys and books. Would recommend.

My daughter has been at The Shirley Green Day Nursery for a year, starting in the Baby Room, moving to First Steps, and soon onto the Toddler Room. She was very clingy initially and needed a lot of support while settling in. What really stands out about this nursery is their unlimited settling-in sessions, which made a big difference for us. Adam was patient and supportive, making the transition smooth. In the Baby Room, Mel provided consistent care, which helped my daughter feel comfortable and thanks also to Adam and Katie for their support. In First Steps, Kerry has been very attentive, making each day enjoyable for my daughter and Adam also offered great care. Overall, the staff at this nursery is great at providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for the children, thanks to each one of them.

Amazing nursery, Daya loves it and Ella her pre school teacher! We've noticed massive development in Daya's personality and communication skills and this is in large part down to the nursery and Ella spending time to work with Daya closely on an individual basis. There are a number of activities that the children partake in daily and the variety ensures that the children have fun and remain engaged. Ella is popular with all of the children and this is down to her caring and loving nature that means Daya feels safe and looked after. The food served is 5 star and is healthy with fruits etc and again a lot of variety. Daya has a close bond with a lot of her class mates and has really come out of her shell since starting nursery last year. A brilliant nursery and 100% the right choice.

We absolutely love my son's nursery and couldn't be happier with the care he receives. The team are all amazing and put so much love and thought into everything they do, especially all the creative activities. It's so lovely seeing how much effort goes into his days.

Claire is my son's key person and we honestly adore her. She is so caring, kind and attentive, and it's such a comfort knowing my child is with someone who truly cares about him. Shana, Kielly and Ella are also fantastic and make the room such a warm, happy place. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery

We are so pleased we chose Shirley Green nursery - our little boy joined when he was 1 year old and has been there for a year. The staff are really helpful and friendly and he's developed a lovely bond with them. There's outdoor play every day which was important to us. The nursery send photos every day and lots of information on naps and food. We would thoroughly recommend.

Shirley Green Day nursery has been excellent for my 2 and a half year old! Since starting nursery, we have seen that he has developed in many ways. He was rather reluctant to go during his first few times, refusing to go in and crying and it took him time to warm up, the staff have gained his trust and he loves going now! We can see that he feels safe as he has a big smile when he sees the staff open the door and even gives hugs! He is in the toddler room and quite often, also the preschool room. The staff are excellent in both rooms, especially preschool as the staff has told us that he loves the teacher there and we can also sense that with the way she interacts with him. The staff are patient with him and helping him develop his speech and other skills which is very helpful for us at home. We look forward to seeing him progress in many ways.

My daughter has been attending Shirley Green since it opened. We did look around a few nurseries local to us but found Shirley Green to look the most promising and I am so glad we picked here! There is no guilt feeling about dropping my daughter off, she even asks if she can go on days she doesn't attended. She runs in, hugs the staff and loves sharing her stories. Her key worker Ella goes above and beyond and even helps with challenges we find ourselves dealing with at home, she works with our daughter at Nursery to improve behaviours. A big shout out to Mel to, she was a massive part of toilet training our daughter and she mastered it in a matter of weeks, such dedication from staff - they even made a toilet chart with her favourite character on for her to bring home that was the same as the one she had in nursery. I know my daughter is going to leave Shirley Green with the confidence and skills to thrive in Primary School this year and I couldn't be more thankful.

The best nursery in the area! My daughter loves coming here and has been thriving ever since joining. All of the staff are kind and caring - couldn't fault any of them. Thank you Shirley Green team!! x

The staff are consistently supportive and always willing to offer guidance and reassurance throughout parenting dilemmas. I genuinely couldn't fault this nursery or the incredible staff who care for my child. Thank you all for everything you do.

Over the past 3 months or so we've had a few teething issues, mainly down to communication (lack of, incorrect, uncooperative), due to various reasons. A shortage of staff has meant it's been a bit manic too and unsettling with different carers in every week. All that said, we really like the nursery itself, the setup, the look and feel etc. The existing permanent carers seem really nice too (quite a few new ones starting now to fill gaps so can't comment on those yet). It was our first choice and remains so for now. We know the nursery is just a year old and there has been a lot of change recently and so we are hopeful that over the coming months, things start to settle more for us personally. Our kid seems to enjoy it there and is happy which is the main thing. We have provided 4 star ratings based on what we assume as you don't get to see the running of the nursery day to day so difficult to comment on their safe guarding etc plus still early days for us.

I knew this was the nursery for my daughter from the first day I saw it as the facilities were outstanding. Indoor and outdoor areas are very child friendly. The staff are amazing with my daughter as my daughter really struggled for weeks with settling in, the staff were always reassuring. Being a first time mom the staff always put me at ease sending photo's on the app and giving me a detailed summary of her day at nursery. Also my daughter is vegetarian and they provide a good standard of variety. Now we are at the stage of potty training her, the staff have been more then willing to help.

My Son started Shirley Green at the start of this year, I have been really pleased with the nursery and the care that is provided. Staff members really helped him, and me feel at ease during his settling in period. His Key worker has been especially supportive and always keeps me updated on his progress. The app which is used by the nursery to update parents is updated regularly and it puts me at ease seeing all the lovely things that my son gets up to throughout the day while he is at Shirley Green. All the staff are lovely, approachable and dedicated to making Shirley Green a welcoming environment for the children. I can see the progress my son has made since starting at Shirley Green which assures me that i made the best decision when i decided to send him here.

We moved our daughter from another nursery to Shirley Green Day Nursery last year and really happy with our decision. Facilities are great at Shirley Green with lots of outdoor space as it's connected to the sports club. Staff are also fantastic - very caring and well planned activities for the day.
