Parent review August 2024
"Green Shoots has provided my daughter with so much confidence in herself and her early years learning. They lead with love and kindness and cater for each child in their care, right where they're at. It is a wonderful nursery and we will miss the team when our daughter goes to school in September."
Parent review June 2023
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
"We’ve had a great experience with Green Shoots. Our daughter was very shy and now she is leaving for school, she is a very happy and confident child. The staff treat each child individually and meet all their needs. They are nurturing and encouraging. The activities are brilliant, with visits to allotments and to sing for residents in a care home. I would highly recommend this pre-school!"
Parent review June 2021
"This is a fantastic setting, with caring, kind and enthusiastic staff. My daughter enjoys a wide range of activities, and I like that they regularly visit a local care home and that they have a good focus on healthy eating. My daughter has flourished here. Highly recommended."
Parent review June 2021
"What a wonderful and warm environment for our toddler to grow and develop. The staff at Green Shoots were so accommodating, flexible, friendly, and fun! I have sent my children to other nurseries which had nicer settings but I prefer Green Shoots because I have to come to learn that the people looking after your child are way more important than location or setting. As a parent Green Shoots made me feel listened to and confident that my child was getting the best care and having the most fun. I highly recommend this nursery in Bath."
Parent review October 2019
"To find somewhere you can trust with your most precious thing your children, is truly a great thing. Where they can thrive and grow where there is plenty of fun to be had in a caring, kind and compassionate environment. This is a really lovely small setting with amazing staff and food."

Behind the scenes
Every child matters to us. We work closely with parents to create the best possible opportunities for individual children to grow and learn in a fun, engaging and nurturing environment. We use the Early Years Foundation Stage as a framework to support our practice, knowledge and provision for children aged between two and five years. As a pack-away setting with a fully equipped resource cupboard, we have the flexibility to change and adapt our resources and layout to suit the needs of the children in our care.
