A natural approach is at the heart of learning. Wherever possible, Green Roots is all about fresh ideas and natural, real-life resources.

No, I do not currently have a child/children attending; I am registering for the first time with Green Roots Nursery. If the sessions that you have requested are not available, are you open to alternative days?* Your details including your email address are essential information, which we will only use to provide a childcare service to you.
Green Roots has been designed specifically around the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS) because it recognises the holistic nature of development and learning. The emphasis of EYFS is that children learn through interaction with people and exploring the world around them. Each child is assigned their own Key Person, helping to ensure care is tailored to meet the child's individual needs.

Green Roots Nursery has proven to be the perfect setting for our son who has attended the nursery for over two years now. Throughout that time, the team have consistently provided outstanding care for our son at each stage. Key practitioners have always taken the time to build a great relationship with our son and as a result he absolutely loves his time at the nursery.
All the staff are equally engaging with parents as they are with the children, and this standard of care is reflected through the happiness I see each day when I collect my son from nursery.

Superb setup, in the first week of my daughter attending Green Roots I was already enquiring about additional sessions. My daughter came back happy, enthusiastic and with no desire to come home, she was just having way too much fun!
The Baby Day’s account provides parents with regular updates on what their child is doing at nursery on the day along with supported media (images, videos etc). They also assign the updates to an area of their development allowing me, the parent, to see a clear picture of her strengths and any areas needing further attention/to be developed further.
Very safe practices

Green Roots came recommended to me, and it’s easy to see why; from the safe and enjoyable setting to the ease of admin, our entire experience is nothing but a joy. My daughter thoroughly enjoys every session at Green Roots, and has a wonderful relationship with her practitioner. Thank you to Gemma and the team for providing a space that allows my daughter to thrive and for me to relax, knowing she’s in safe hands.

We had our son at another nursery previously and it did not compare to Green Roots. It is the best childcare facility we’ve come across. I would absolutely recommend GR to every parent we know. The facilities, genuine care and love from the staff, feel of the place are all amazing. It’s such a wonderful place.

Our little boy has been at Green Roots since 10 months old (now nearly 3 yrs) and has absolutely loved his time there. The team are so brilliant with him, and have been incredible over the past year in really difficult circumstances. We are regularly updated on his progress and development and I can see that being at nursery has been a positive experience in terms of his development.
We chose Green Roots over the other local nurseries as we love their overall ethos and how that's reflected in every aspect, from the food and extensive menu, to the baby days app and security measures and lovely

Green Roots was recommended to me by a few friends of mine who’s children and been there and I’m so glad it was, as there are not enough wonderful things to say about the place. Our little boy is absolutely thriving and that’s down to the support and time that the staff are giving him. He loves his nursery days, the activities they do are so varied and imaginative, the food excellent and he loves using the garden to run around and let off some energy. He has such a great relationship with not only his key worker and the other adults in that room but also those from the past rooms he’s been

We have had Green Roots in our life's now for over 5 years, our first won attend not long after it opened and it was clear from the start that he was going to be very happy here. The staff are amazing and give the children all the care and love in the world, as well as providing the most fantastic environment for them to learn and grow. Our second son has been here for over a year and half and again I cannot fault the experience that he is having, both my boys settled quickly and have flourished at Green roots.

Green Roots is an incredible nursery and pre-school. My daughter has gone from strength to strength since starting. She loves going in to see her friends and the key workers. The outside space is brilliant for little ones and their food is incredible 😍 it is all homemade and very yummy.
