The Dees team have been incredibly welcoming to our children and has consistently aimed to incorporate parental feedback and requests, when possible. They take the time to provide regular updates on the kids, and it's clear that they provide an intimate and nurturing environment so that children feel
safe, comfortable and cared for. Most importantly, our kids seem genuinely excited to go to nursery. Keep up the good work.

Our daughter has been attending Dee's Day Nursery for about 3 months now, and we’ve been very pleased. We moved her over from a different nursery, and everyone at Dee’s has helped make her transition as smooth as possible. The nursery’s leadership as well as the staff in the baby room are incredibly
kind and caring and we completely trust that our daughter is in good hands when we drop her off. We feel adequately informed about everything our daughter gets up to during the day - her eating, napping, and what activities she’s most drawn to as well as her development milestones - something so crucial especially at her young age. We’ve been very grateful to have become part of the Dee’s family and would recommend the nursery to friends.

Dee's Day Nursery was a very family-orientated nursery and a fantastic experience for us as first-time parents. The team in the baby room were experienced and friendly and took great care of the well-being of our daughter. She was stimulated with a variety of activities and always took delight in going
to the nursery. The staff were also great communicators.

We have had such a positive experience since starting at Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) earlier this year. Our 1-year-old reaches out for the staff at drop off and seems genuinely excited to go in! This is a wonderful change from a previous nursery he attended where the whole process right from the settling
in period seemed chaotic. The baby room is clean and has a range of lovely toys to keep the children occupied. The staff are incredibly friendly and have a real affection for the children which is so reassuring to see. We are kept up to date daily with a short summary of his activities, as well as sleeping and eating times etc. All really useful to know. Overall, we couldn't be happier with Dee's and are very grateful to the staff for the care they show our son!

Lovely nursery, my daughter loves it and the staff are so friendly and caring. Very homely feeling, as first-time parents we were a bit nervous about choosing the right nursery but we definitely have and would choose it a hundred times over!

My son absolutely loves Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd. I had initially chosen a larger nursery nearby (part of a bigger chain) but after three months, I realised it was a huge mistake. He wasn't settled there, we had little feedback and the staff were mostly from agencies - I knew there had to be
something better for him. As soon as I had a tour with the manager, I quickly realised this was the nursery for my son. Dee's has a lovely warmth to it, the staff are so personable and know every child there. The settling-in period was organised (unlike our last nursery) and I couldn't believe how quickly my son settled in. He loves the baby room and the room leader is so wonderful and caring. We get such informative feedback at pickup and they fill in a book every day of what he's been up to with nap times/food and snack details and nappy changes. They organise fun activities (a recent animal learning experience visit was a highlight) and send photos on the app. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you Dee's.

My son went to Dee's from 10 months old - 3 years old. He was very happy at the nursery and made great relationships with the staff and other children. I would recommend this nursery, my son learned and developed a lot of skills which was a real help as a first-time parent. Thanks Dee's.

Reply from Devanayaki Vickneswaran, Director at Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd

Thank you for your kind words Catherine, it was our pleasure to look after him and watch him grow at Dees!

My child doesn't even look back when she goes in the door as she's so excited to be there. The practitioners are warm, friendly and clearly care deeply for the children. They do a wide variety of activities, including water play, dance, yoga and plenty of outside time in a secure, walled garden. The
menu always looks so delicious - I would want it myself! My child comes home happy, exhausted (thank goodness!) and bubbling with stories from her day. I'm thrilled to send her to such a fun, exciting and stimulating nursery and so grateful to the staff for looking after my little girl. Daughter number two will be starting there at the end of the year and I couldn't have picked a better place to send her.

My son has been with Dee’s Day since one-year-old and he is now four and a half years old. When I moved to the area, I went to see nurseries around and Dee’s Day had the most reasonable fee with decent facilities, friendly staff and good reviews. My son is always happy and healthy. He is a timid boy
and started talking very late. There was some concern about his speech and language when he moved to the preschool room but the new manager has been excellent and made such a difference in his confidence. She is very calm, patient and caring. She also listens to our feedback and makes changes which I highly appreciate. The menu is diverse and the kids love the chef. There are also weekly newsletters with pictures of the kids' activities during the week, what they learn and the popular dish. There is also a progress update every 6 months with great details about all areas of development. I can tell my son is in great care and he is making progress every day.

Our daughter started going to Dee’s Day Nursery when she was 7 months old, the staff were amazing with her from the beginning, she took some time to get used to everything but now she loves going there so much. We can trust she’s in great hands.

I have had both my children attend Dee's over the last five years and they have both flourished there. The staff are so friendly and caring and I feel at ease leaving my children there. I would highly recommend Dee's as a nursery.

From the moment I stepped into Dee’s Day Nursery, I knew this was the nursery that would look after my baby. He was only 7 months old and it was hard for me to let him go. The transition was amazing, they ‘held my hand’ every step of the way! I knew he was in safe hands. That was three years ago. My
child loves Dee’s, as do all the children. You can see that at pick up when they don’t actually want to leave! The staff really care, they nurture them, teach them but also make sure fun is had every day. Since moving to preschool, my child has flourished. He is way ahead academically, it amazes me every day what he can do at his age.
I would recommend Dee’s to anyone. I trust them completely. And I love that they are like one big happy family!

Our daughter has been with Dees since she was in the 'baby room' at 9 months old. She is now 3 years old in the pre-school room and absolutely thriving.
Dees have been fantastic in supporting her in all areas of her development and more recently in the preparation for big school next year. Dees offer
a balance of both indoor and outdoor activities, which we absolutely love. And with the newly introduced weekly newsletter it's lovely to get a peek into what activities the children are doing each week and all the new things they're learning. Every year we are given a detailed progress update with the relevant key worker. Furthermore, Dees employees always take the time to listen to any of our queries/concerns etc and always accommodate our requests. Most importantly, our daughter loves her teachers and often can't wait to go to school to tell them any news, stories or show a new toy.

My daughter loves this nursery, especially since being in the preschool room. Lately, they had a high turnover of staff, but in any case, the teachers are really great, loving, kind, make the children feel comfortable. It's a small nursery where my daughter feels really confident and built very intimate
relationships with her peers and teachers. They do show them cartoons there and buy food from a supermarket. I would have preferred better quality food, though.

Reply from Lilianne Broaster, Deputy Manager at Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd

Thank you for your review! We are grateful for the positive comments and appreciate your feedback. We have updated our menus and our ingredients list with our Chef in March 2021 so hopefully the quality of food has improved! Additionally, we often show the children educational cartoons such as Numberblocks/Alphablocks and occasionally Cocomelon as a reward during their 30 minutes of interactive whiteboard time.

I was devastated and in tears when I left my daughter at nursery for the first time a year ago... but now I think it was the best decision I've made! My now 2-year-old absolutely loves going there. She wakes up in the morning and already talks about her teachers. I like the daily written feedback they
give and occasionally 1-to-1 meeting to discuss my child's progress. I would not be able to provide as many activities as they do (painting, drawing, playing with water, with sand, decorating with glitter, stickers; you name it!). They are very active there - the children play in the garden and they have an indoor gym, they even do yoga! The diet is healthy and balanced; lots of veggies for mains and fruits for desserts. They let children taste different cuisines (e.g. curry, chow mein, stew etc). My child is learning good habits there: she is happy to wash her hands before meals, she says “thank you” and “please”. I feel that the teachers genuinely care about my daughter and her wellbeing.

Our daughter has been very happy at Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd over the last year. The manager and her team are very friendly, enthusiastic, kind and supportive. They also give good daily feedback on our daughter's activities, food and naps. We would definitely recommend Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon)

Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd has been looking after my son for the last two and a half years. They did so with great care and tenderness and he has always been very happy at nursery. He has been learning a great deal and we have noticed how well he develops and how much he knows when he spontaneously
chats to us about measures, seasons and what not. He is very enthusiastic about practicing writing his letters and it is clear that he finds his daily activities enjoyable and stimulating. There is a lot of variation, from reading, singing, baking, art, to outdoor play. Never a dull moment. His carers are very attentive and he eats very well. They also develop a sense of occasion in the children. I would whole-heartedly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.872 for Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.872

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dee's Day Nursery (Wimbledon) Ltd is based on 24 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 24 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.
