Play House Pre-school & Out of School Club

from A B (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

I'm very pleased with the playhouse my son has been attending. The place looks really nice and clean. Amazing outside area, which my boy loves. I feel there should be more activities for all age groups to entertain and stimulate the children (which I know your in the process of doing now). The staff
are very polite and helpful. I'd like to see more pictures uploaded on the Famly. It's lovely to see what the kids are up to. These would be my only recommendation.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our twin daughters have loved every moment of their time at Wetherell Nursery. The staff have been kind, patient and nurturing and this has allowed them to grow in confidence.


They've learnt so much at Wetherell, become increasingly confident and made so many lovely friends. The setting so close

to Victoria park is a bonus and I'd have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to anyone.

Reply from Chelsea Rossiter, Admin Assistant at Wetherell Nursery

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are so glad the girls settled into the nursery and have enjoyed their time with us, it is lovely to hear that we could be apart of their journey and we wish you all the best for the future! Kind Regards, Nursery Admin

I would love to have more learning sessions or help kids with some learning challenges from the school tasks.
The rest of the facility is good, but I got the impression that learning with play sessions would be very beneficial to the pupils.

Great kindergarten with a great yard, and friendly staff. My son and now my daughter went to this preschool. They both love it and we have great memories from that period.
The children always have activities planned for the whole week, and I already know what they will do and how to dress the child.
They have a lot of practical and fun activities.

It's lovely to hear both children enjoyed being here. It was a pleasure having them and I hope they come back for our holiday clubs.

My little girl was very nervous about starting preschool, she would cling on and would cry for me, all the workers there were fab with her and comforted her until she settled, also any concerns I ever had regarding my daughter they would listen and give the best possible advise she continued to go there
in September and her confidence since going to Playhouse has been absolutely amazing. I couldn't thank these guys enough! I would highly recommend Playhouse to anyone looking to put their children in preschool.

Bow Nursery has been fantastic for our daughter and we would recommend it. She's been really well looked after. We loved the recent nursery day out at the zoo with parents. The staff are great, friendly and understanding. Good value for money and able to accommodate free government hours. Good to have
space to leave a pram there during the day.

Wetherell first looked after our son and then, 3 years later, our daughter. They each gained confidence over the time they were there and also loved the outside space. The staff have been great, too. Not only with our children but also in helping us with the government funding that, without their help,
we would have certainly not received. Thank you!
