I’m really happy with my children’s nursery. The staff are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about the kids. There are plenty of activities throughout the day, which keeps the children busy, learning, and excited to come back. They also do a great job engaging with parents — we’re always kept updated, and it really feels like a partnership in supporting the children’s development. Overall, a wonderful nursery that I highly recommend.

I couldn’t wish for a better nursery to trust with the care of my child. All of the staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond with each child. My daughter is due to leave pre school in July to start reception and I will be really sad for her to leave. Sherwood Green Nursery have had a big impact on my child development. All staff are amazing and I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough. I also love the Parents Online App that keeps you updated with assessment report and child’s observations. Highly recommend Sherwood Green.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Sherwood Green. From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely care about each child’s well-being and development. Our little ones settled in quickly, thanks to the nurturing environment and consistent routines. We’ve seen so much growth in their confidence, language, and social skills. The activities are always creative and engaging—every day is a new adventure! Communication is excellent; we receive regular updates, photos, and progress reports, which really help us stay connected to our child’s day. The nursery is clean, safe, and thoughtfully organized to encourage both learning and play. We are so grateful to have found such a caring place for our child. Highly recommend Sherwood Green to any parent looking for a supportive, high-quality early years experience.
