  • The Wantage Nursery & Preschool, Wantage
The Wantage Nursery & Preschool provides a warm happy and homely environment where the top priority is to have safe contented children. The nursery team believes the service should be about making friends and learning through play in a home from home with kind and caring adults for support.

The nursery has excellent facilities indoors and is particularly proud of othe big outdoors space which has specifically been designed with very small children in mind. Staff place great emphasis on spending lots of time outside in the fresh air and use both the indoors and outdoors to deliver all areas of the early years curriculum to a high standard.

The team constantly strives to give children memorable experiences with exciting opportunities to learn through play that they might not always be able to do at home and of course give them the opportunity to make some of their first friends.

My child has attended Wantage Pre-school and Nursery for 4 years. His confidence has grown enormously since he started. The staff always inform me of his development and his daily routine. My child's social skills have increased since joining pre-school and he has many friends.

My son has developed so well with the care and patience of the staff. He is always happy to be left and loves to play outside for as long as possible. The staff are so friendly and all the children are really smiley and well-mannered, a big indicator of how settled and secure they feel. The nursery
has reduced the guilt we feel about leaving him as he is so well looked after.

Our son joined at 9 months old and settled in quickly. When dropping him off he is smiley and excited when we go through the door. His key worker is excellent and very caring. He is very fond of her. We are very happy that whilst we are at work, he is cared and looked after to a high standard.

Friendly and helpful staff. Always got a smile and are happy to see my son in the mornings. Generally, give a good feedback on the day's events and instil the correct amount of values and discipline.

My son loves coming to nursery and most days it is hard to get him to come home, especially when he is up in pre-school, due to the activities they do up there. But he loves the staff downstairs, loves the garden area. It is a super area, especially with the eating area too.

I am happy with both of my children's progress since starting here. As soon as I collect them they tell me about their day and how much they have enjoyed it.

My little girl has come on leaps and bounds and that is down to the amazing staff. They always have smiles on their faces and lots of snuggles when needed. Without this amazing team I don't know how I would have coped going back to work and recently through an illness. I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere
else or have anyone else looking after her.

My son loves pre-school, he has developed so much during his short time upstairs, his speaking and confidence has increased so much. The teaching staff are welcoming, kind, caring and professional offering the best possible care and teaching. The pre-shcool room is full of colour and happiness and there
is always an activity or two or three for my son, who currently attends afternoons, to get straight on with. It's a wonderful place with amazing staff. :)

The progress that my son made from the very beginning was astonishing. The variety of activities that my son takes part in is amazing, from yoga to phonics. My son's key worker has a caring and professional attitude and is committed to ensuring the progress of my son. My son loves nursery/pre-school
and the relationship he has with his key worker, the other staff make him want to attend and is reassuring for me as a parent.

My daughter started nursery as a shy 2 years old and after being at Wantage nursery for just a few months she has really come out of her shell. Her teacher is excellent, my daughter adores her and she is treated like her own.
My daughter loves coming to nursery because of this and she has come on
in leaps and bounds. I would recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for The Wantage Nursery & Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 5.000 for The Wantage Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 5

  • 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 The Wantage Nursery & Preschool is based on 16 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
