Review from M J (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. The caregivers and teachers are not only highly professional but also genuinely warm, attentive, and passionate about early childhood development. They take the time to understand each child's unique personality and needs, creating
a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and safe.
The daily activities are thoughtfully planned and full of creativity, allowing the children to learn through play while developing key social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Our child comes home excited, often sharing songs, stories, or new things learned that day. The communication from the nursery is excellent-regular updates, photos, and feedback help us feel connected and confident in the care being provided.
We've noticed remarkable progress in our child's confidence, speech, and independence since joining the nursery. It's clear that the team goes above and beyond to make every child's day meaningful and enjoyable.

Since starting at Sherwood Green Nursery Gateway, my children have demonstrated remarkable positive development. The staff are exceptional, accommodating my sons' individual needs and fostering their growth. They've made great progress in communication and have formed such strong, positive relationships.
Each day is thoughtfully organized, and when I pick up my children, I can instantly tell they've had a good day from their cheerful and upbeat attitudes.

Review from Rima A (Mother of Child) published on 30 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to accommodate our family's needs. They take the time to really get to know each child and support them in a way that feels both personal and thoughtful.
The nursery provides a wide variety of healthy and nutritious meals, which is something
that's really important to us. It's reassuring to know our children are eating well while they're there. The activities are also fantastic - fun, engaging, and educational. There's always something creative going on, and our children come home excited to tell us about their day.
A special mention goes to the management team, who are approachable, responsive, and always open to feedback. They communicate clearly, keep families well-informed, and clearly care about creating the best possible environment for both the children and the staff.
The setting is always clean, well-organised, and welcoming. It's clear that high standards of hygiene and safety are a priority. Ran out of characters!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sherwood Green Nursery has been an absolute joy for our family! From day one, the staff made us feel welcome and supported. The environment is warm, nurturing, and full of creative energy-exactly what we were looking for in a place for our child to grow and thrive.
The teachers are incredibly caring
and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely love working with children. Every day is filled with fun, hands-on learning experiences-from nature walks and gardening to art, music, and storytelling. Our child comes home excited and full of stories about what they've learned!
The outdoor space is especially impressive-spacious, safe, and designed for exploration. We love that Sherwood Green emphasizes learning through play and fosters independence, curiosity, and kindness.
We've seen such growth in our child's confidence and social skills since starting here. Sherwood Green Nursery is truly a special place, and we feel so lucky to be part of it!

All the staff are very helpful and understanding as my son is autistic, they have so much time for him and help him in whatever he needs and couldn't ask for a better nursery for my son to join. Would recommend anyone to take their kids to this nursery.

I have had both my children in this nursery and can honestly say it is brilliant. The nursery and staff are amazing and always give feedback about the kids when picking them up and keep us up to date on the app about what they are doing while they are there. Will definitely recommend sending your children
to a safe and loving environment where they will be taught and supported in their learning.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for Sherwood Green Nursery Gateway 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.974 for Sherwood Green Nursery Gateway is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.974
  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 Sherwood Green Nursery Gateway is based on 13 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
