My wife and I couldnt be happier with The Wondergarden. Since our baby joined there we have really seen him flourish. The partnership with the staff has been so important to us and we love seeing his observations and his learning progression. It's is a very special place and we are so grateful for your
care and devotion to our little one!

I have recently enrolled my son at The Wondergarden. He can be unsure around new people, but he's settled in so quickly and he loves all of the staff who are fantastic with him, which is so reassuring as a parent. The app is brilliant for hearing feedback about his day/development and seeing lots of
lovely photos of him having fun. The setting itself is beautiful too, especially with the addition of the wonderful forest school. The management are lovely too, and you can tell they really care about the children. I would definitely recommend it!

We feel really comfortable leaving our girl in the care of the ladies in the baby room. There is a genuine warm, personal and caring environment which is evident throughout this family-run nursery. So happy we found the Wondergarden when we did!

The staff at The Wondergarden are friendly and professional. We get daily updates about our daughter’s activities and activities are adapted and rotated to suit her interests and life experiences. Our daughter loves going to nursery and has thrived whilst attending. We feel like the staff have really
taken time to get to know her and encourage her physical, social and emotional development. We also love that the setting is in a beautiful, rural location. The nursery makes great use of their outdoor space and we have enjoyed attending forest school sessions too. The Wondergarden has a really personal, family feel.

The care my daughter has received at the Wondergarden has been absolutely fantastic. My daughter is excited to go in every day and the staff genuinely care about the children and their welfare. The variety of activities, themes and menus is great. I have peace of mind knowing that the care my daughter
receives is second to none. I would highly recommend the Wondergarden to prospective parents wanting the very best care for their child/children.

The Wondergarden is a fantastic day nursery, we are thrilled we chose this setting for our little boy. He has formed lovely friendships with the other children, and carers, they work really hard to ensure his needs and interests are met, explored and encouraged. Would 100% recommend.

My son has been going to Wondergarden Nursery for just under a year but it's been amazing so far don't know where to start to see how much my son has come on his speech has become so clear.
The staff are all so caring and friendly they have learnt that my son is unsettled from leaving me but will take
him for a story till he is ready and settled. He has such good messy fun learning different things each day always different activities. He also goes to the forest school and he has the most wonderful mornings being outdoors exploring the forest. I could go on forever but Wondergarden has been so helpful if I'm stuck or in need of advice they are warm and welcoming I would not want to send my son anywhere else it's perfect for him and he always goes home with a full tummy from homemade meals made at the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for The Wondergarden Day Nursery and Forest School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.948 for The Wondergarden Day Nursery and Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.948

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Wondergarden Day Nursery and Forest School is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
