Overall Experience

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the amazing care and nurturing environment at wise owls. From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we have been consistently impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is incredibly attentive, patient, and truly passionate about the children's

well-being and development. Our daughter has blossomed in their care-she's not only learnt new skills but also developed a love for learning and play. The nursery offers a variety of engaging activities that encourage creativity, independence, and social skills. We feel confident knowing she's in such a safe and caring place. Thank you, to all the staff especially two in particular for providing such a wonderful foundation for our little one's early years!

Overall Experience

We are extremely happy with Wise Owls at Foxley. From the very beginning they have put us at ease with their ability to manage his medical needs. They are always looking for solutions rather than objections to any additional requirements he has. Our son has now attended the nursery for over a year and

has made great friends. He has lovely relationships with the nursery workers and often comes home singing new songs they have taught him.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Heads of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls at Foxley Day Nursery

Your feedback means the world and we look forward to continuing to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment for your family.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She has developed so much in the short amount of time she's been there and has built an amazing relationship with all the team in the Owlets room. It is evident that the team spend a lot of time nurturing and teaching her throughout the days she attends,

for which we as parents are forever grateful.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

Thanks for this lovely review. It is so important to us that children settle into nursery life quickly and comfortably, feeling safe and secure. We are pleased to hear your daughter loves attending nursery. We do have a lot of fun!

Overall Experience

Our son attended this wonderful nursery for a year and a half. The staff are professional, warm, and kind. Thanks to the nurturing environment they created, our boy became more confident, independent, and made friends. We never worried about our child when he was at the Wise Owls. The rooms are new

after a recent refurbishment. The menu is balanced. There is plenty of learning, fun, and independent play. Even show and tell to practice speaking skills. Sad to say goodbye. Thank you the the staff and many others for everything you do.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. He was a delight to care for and we are so proud of how far he has come. We wish him and your family all the very best for this next exciting chapter.

Overall Experience

I have had two children attend Farm View, my daughter from the age of 9 months up to preschool and my son from 15 months and also just finished preschool and I could not recommend it highly enough. The staff have been fantastic and consistent, and genuinely care about the children's individual interests

and personalities. The setting has been great, lots of time spent outside in the garden, as well as walks around the farm seeing the horses and fun activities every day. I have seen my children develop massively, making friends and learning meaning both have been ready to take the next steps to school. Our experience has been fantastic and cannot thank the staff enough.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

Many thanks for this wonderful review and for entrusting us with the care and education of both of your lovely children. We wish you all well for this next exciting phase at primary school. Stay in touch and let us know how they are both getting on.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Foxley for almost 6 months. Being our first child, we had no experience with childcare settings but we knew from the look round we had that Wise Owls was the place for us. It had a real home-from-home feel and we loved the fact that the garden was a key part of the day. Our son is

almost 18 months old now and happily walks into the nursery, smiling and waving goodbye.
The staff are so lovely and we believe genuinely invested in our son's development. His mobility, confidence, and eating have all flourished while at nursery. There is great communication with the team both through in-person catch-ups at drop off, the week ahead emails, and the app.
Thank you so much to all the staff, particular shout out to to one member of staff in particular for all the amazing work she has done with our son.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls at Foxley Day Nursery

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a detailed review. Happy children = happy parents and happy staff! Your son is a delightful little boy and the team love taking care of him.

Overall Experience

Our little one has settled in so well at Farm View now and we're extremely happy we chose to send him here. He reaches his arms out to staff when he arrives in the morning now, and he has a big smile on his face when we come to pick him up too, he seems very content with his surroundings. The snapshots

and moments we get through on the app are personal to him, and we love to get these through when we're working in the week, it's so good to know he's enjoying his time learning and getting on well with everyone. The team are quick to respond with any queries we have and are so consistent in keeping us updated on anything we should be aware of too. We look forward to seeing what other new bits he gets taught over the next few months as he gets close to walking too. Thank you!

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

What a wonderful review. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. He is such a happy little boy and a delight to have at nursery.

Our son is very settled and happy at Wise Owls. The team there are very caring and greet him with enthusiasm every day which fills me with confidence in leaving him in their care. He eats well, sleeps well and comes home smiling, chatty and happy which shows me he's had a good time and is being very

well looked after.

Overall Experience

My son skips into the nursery every day. The staff treat the children like their own and show soo much care, kindness and love towards them.
There might not be a large garden, but the children are taken to the nature reserve every day to play, and this gives them structure and a change of scene which

is so important.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead

Thanks for your glowing review. We do pride ourselves on being a 'home away from home', and it is nice to see how comfortable and at 'home' all the children are at Braywick. We do our absolute best to give the children regular outdoor experiences, and we are so lucky to have the most enormous back garden - the Nature Reserve that the children love exploring.

Overall Experience

My son joined in Feb/March this year and he has settled in really well. All the ladies who look after the children in the nursery are lovely, really caring and genuinely have the kid's best interests at heart. I chose this nursery because my eldest son went here and thrived. Although some of the staff

has changed, the level of love and care is still the same!

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you are happy with the nursery and we especially love to welcome siblings as it connects us to the children and families that have moved on. Sometimes our team does change as that's the nature of the sector, but with our Manager at the helm, she is always quick to create a fun and friendly team environment and staff settle in very quickly. We are also determined to find the best of the best so that the quality of care is always top-notch.

Overall Experience

Our little girl has been at Wise Owls since March and we're really pleased with how well she's settled in and how much she enjoys going there.
She was nervous to start with but the team made her feel so comfortable and have been extremely caring with her. She now absolutely loves going in and has

lots of fun there. The regular updates are fantastic and keep you informed about everything they are getting up to so you don't feel like you are missing any developmental stages. Our little one loves her food and the menu at Wise Owls looks great, as well as being nutritious. The best thing about Wise Owls though has to be the team. They are all caring and friendly, providing updates at the end of the day as to all the fun they have had.
We can't recommend Wise Owls highly enough. It's a fantastic nursery!

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

Thank you for the glowing recommendation and your lovely comments about the team at Farm View. It is our pleasure to support and nurture your daughter's development and happiness at Wise Owls. We are so pleased to hear you like the look of the menu too. We put a lot of thought into planning interesting and nutritious meals so we are glad your daughter likes them!

Overall Experience

My son started nursery here nearly 6 months ago as a 6-month-old. He loves it! He sings in the car on the way! He receives enough care and attention but it still allows him to be a kid. His milestones are monitored and reported and his achievements are noticed. The staff give detailed feedback at the

end of the day to myself when I collect him and he's always in a good mood when I do collect him. Kids don't lie and if he is happy to go and happy when I collect him then it's obviously the right place for him.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls at Foxley Day Nursery

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you believe your son is thriving and enjoying his time with us - we see it with every visit. And we especially love that he sings on the way to nursery!

Overall Experience

Our son started in January 2024. I was naturally apprehensive, but can honestly say this was short-lived. Within a matter of weeks, he had settled in, despite only attending 2 days per week, and has developed a clear bond with the staff and other children. He has learnt new skills since starting and

can't wait to get back through the door. The staff welcome him with open arms and give a full debrief on collection - he blows kisses to them all as he leaves. I cannot wait to see what the coming months bring - seeing him grow and knowing he is in such a safe and nurturing environment is so important. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Marketing Communications at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

Thank you for this lovely review, the team will be so happy to read this. They also can't wait to see what the coming months and years bring in his early years as he grows and develops. Such a delightful, happy boy. Thanks again!

My daughter loves it here, the staff are so lovely and I love the family-friendly feel. They're extremely flexible with my ad hoc requests and the handover at the end of the day along with the online diary is brilliant! I can hand on heart say I will be so sad when I don’t have a little one there anymore,

even get sad when she moves up out of a room into a new one. The team are such an important part of her childhood, creating memories that we’ll share as a family for years to come. Highly recommended.

We absolutely love Farm View! When starting over a year ago my little girl was hesitant and clingy at best. Over the last year the staff have been warm and welcoming. They show a true interest in every little person in the setting and this doesn’t change between the rooms. We have great communication

from the team and now my daughter runs to nursery and has built some amazing friendships. The team are always ready to listen to our extracurricular activities and encourage the children’s interest. Dance parties all around! Thank you everyone for your continued love, support and encouragement. My daughter is thriving and comes home telling everyone about her day and how much fun she’s had.

Overall Experience

Was left very disappointed by the quality of care of Wise Owls. Looked like a promising setting with a beautiful countryside homely environment but the staff let it down entirely. My daughter never looked happy in the setting and the staff never seemed to even know my child or understand her interests

or knew much about her/how she had been during the day. No updates on how she was progressing, her key worker was not known for weeks when she first started until we asked and asked again. Complaints and feedback were made to the room leader and then the nursery manager which led to false promises which were not maintained. Pulled my child out because I could not comprehend sending my child to such an appalling setting. Worked in nurseries previously and I would not recommend.

Reply from Laura Hughes, Operations Director at Wise Owls - Farm View Day Nursery

We were genuinely sorry and surprised to receive your review. The well-being and happiness of every child in our care are our top priorities, and we regret to learn that we fell short of your expectations. Two months ago, your child departed from our nursery citing that the nursery was too far from home. At the time, our nursery manager reached out to you to offer support and assistance, and you did not raise any concerns or issues. We do wish you had informed us about your concerns, as we take all feedback very seriously and would have taken immediate action to address them. Our caring, dedicated and experienced team have been with the nursery for many years and are frequently highly praised in other reviews and feedback from parents. Regarding your child's key worker, when starting in our baby room, we do like to wait for children to settle in before assigning a key worker. This way, we can choose the key worker that the child naturally bonds with during this initial phase.

Our daughter started at the nursery in October in the baby room and we have felt thoroughly supported by all the team and staff as we transitioned into our new 'normal' as a family with work, childcare and our daughter settling in. The team have gone above and beyond to support our daughter with her

additional needs and fill us with confidence that our daughter is safe, nurtured, welcomed and cared for by the very best team when we drop her off. We can't wait to see her grow and develop at the nursery over the years to come!

A wonderful little nursery with lots of outdoor space. The fact it is a bit smaller is part of the appeal and the forest garden is an integral part of the day. The staff genuinely care for the children and our 18-month-old daughter is happy in their care, she runs to the door in the morning. As well

as the outdoor activities, she is learning to count and comes home singing the songs she’s learnt.

Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls at Foxley Day Nursery

Thanks for this lovely review. We are really lucky to have a good balance of cosy, familiar indoor spaces and wide-open outdoor spaces for the children to explore daily. Not to mention so many wonderful children to bring the nursery to life every day.
