Funding & Fees Guide for The Wonder Years Day Nursery

  • On application


  • Parking
  • There is a sizeable car park at the Nursery which is for the convenience of both parents picking up and dropping off and for staff. If parking, please be mindful of the fact that cars will need to move in and out throughout the day so it would be helpful if these were not blocked in at any time. There are also parking spaces on Church Hill or in the cul-de-sac opposite the Nursery but again, please respect neighbours’ drives and double yellow lines if using these areas.

This is an absolutely amazing nursery and I can not imagine my little one going anywhere else. The staff are more like family and show so much love, care, and attention in everything they do from the people in each room to the kitchen staff and office ladies. My little one adores everyone who works
there. Everyone is so kind and friendly and this is so reassuring knowing my child is in such safe hands as well as learning and achieving in new ways every day. I can not recommend this nursery highly enough.

Reply from Hilary Walker, Owner at The Wonder Years Day Nursery

Brilliant nursery with welcoming, nurturing staff. It’s difficult leaving your little ones but I always feel at ease as the staff communicate well with me and my child is always safe and happy! The staff show so much care and love towards the children and this is lovely to see!
My older child used
to attend The Wonder Years and now my 1-year-old is - I wouldn’t have left him anywhere else! Thank you to all the staff for the care and hard work you put in!

Each of my 5 children have attended the Wonder Years day nursery. They are exceptional. Very friendly, informative, and work with parents to meet the needs of the children to enable growth with regular updates. It is professionally run, the staff are fantastic, the cook is amazing, food always smells
divine and proper homemade meals are served for the children. I honestly cannot fault them, they are incredible.

Reply from Hilary Walker, Owner at The Wonder Years Day Nursery

Best nursery in Wednesbury by far. Brilliant manager, so helpful and gets things done so quickly. The staff that work alongside the children are so kind, patient and understanding towards children and parents. I just couldn't fault this nursery and my son has learned so much and made many friends. Thank
you to the girls that work here. I'll be sending my second son here soon and wouldn't choose anywhere else.

Reply from Hilary Walker, Owner at The Wonder Years Day Nursery

Wow! Thank you so much for your very kind and generous review. We all strive to offer the best possible start for our children as well helping our parents to be confident that their children are in safe hands. We really appreciate your kind words. Thank you once again.

My son has been attending The Wonder Years since he was 9 months old. I felt a huge amount of guilt at the thought of returning to work but all of the staff at The Wonder Years have made this a positive experience for both myself and my son. They are kind, nurturing, supportive and always smiling. The
staff are engaging and encouraging and I couldn't be happier with my son's progression and confidence.

The Wonder Years takes the guilt away from being a working mom because I know with certainty that my son is being well cared for, educated and loved. The staff are so supportive and accommodating. My only wish is that they would open a primary and secondary school so that we never had to leave.

Reply from Hilary Walker, Owner at The Wonder Years Day Nursery

Awww! Thank you so much for your very kind review. It’s always a pleasure working with our children and families. Well, Primary/Secondary school - that’s certainly worth a future thought! Thank you.

I sent both my children to Wonder Years from age 2/3 to age 4. They both thrived in this environment and made great progress. My son found leaving me difficult in the mornings but the nursery staff were amazing at supporting him and made sure to let me know as soon as he settled so I didn't worry about
him. The nursery staff are friendly and amazing with the children. They have arranged some lovely, special activities like visiting farm animals or special characters which my children loved. The management are approachable and helpful. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter loves the Wonder Years nursery. Every morning, when she goes in we are greeted with staff who are always smiling and welcoming. The staff at the nursery are always encouraging my child to learn and develop in her own way. We are so glad our child goes here and would recommend the nursery.
It’s also amazing how the nursery keeps us, as parents updated with what our daughter is doing, when she is there and nothing is too much trouble.

My daughter started with Wonder Years at around 4 months before leaving for Reception class. The team in all of the rooms from baby to pre-school treat your child as they would their own. Staff know all children. Plenty of cuddles and emotional support planning well ahead for room changes.
There are
a good amount of resources in the rooms although some of this has changed with Covid.
I miss the thorough daily handover knowing what she had eaten and done, definitely don't get that level at school. There have been social events, coffee mornings and Christmas parties for the wider family to attend in the past, which is a fab way to get to know other parents (this again might have changed with Covid).
The Manager is really accommodating and will always try to meet changes in days, hours dietary etc. There isn't a huge outside space but they have definitely made the most of it and kids do spend daily time outside. Overall a lovely nurturing environment for your little one's first years.

Brilliant nursery, all three of my children have been here, and I wouldn’t have sent them anywhere else. The staff are amazing, and the nursery is great. My youngest son had anxiety leaving me, but the girls who work here were brilliant with him and really helped bring along.

My daughter attended Wonder Years from the age of 10 months till 4 when she left to attend full-time school.
If you are looking for a loving, caring and nurturing nursery then this is the place for you. The love and care they have shown my daughter over the years has been second to none. They really
care about every child's development and I couldn’t be more happier with the progress she has made. Not only do they care about educational needs the children’s emotional needs are met to a high standard.
It honestly always felt like I was dropping her off to family and every single member of staff was fantastic you can tell they all genuinely love children this isn’t just a job to them.
The nursery manager has created an amazing place her hard work shows and you can tell it’s a happy place to be for both staff and children.
All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Wonder Years to any prospective parents just go and see for yourself the wonderful environment.

Our son has been attending The Wonder Years Day Nursery for over a year. His progress has been outstanding. The staff are amazing. It honestly feels like we are leaving him with friends. The manager does everything she can to accommodate our needs. The activities are always different, engaging and developmentally
appropriate. We can not recommend this nursery enough.

My Daughter has been going here for a whole year and she loves her time there. Always coming away with a huge smile on her face after a fun day! The staff are absolutely wonderful and friendly, patience of a saint and make you feel very welcomed from the first day. They have brought on and developed
my daughter so much and wouldn’t want her to go anywhere else! Thank you for everything you all do.

My daughter has been going to The Wonder Years for a year now and within that time, her development has increased a lot. She is more confident when left with the staff. She always does different activities on each visit and if she's teething or upset, the staff are really good at consoling her. There
has only been one occasion where she has been picked up due to her being inconsolable. I tell everyone I speak to how wonderful this nursery is. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful. This is my first child and my child's first-ever nursery.

All the staff at Wonder Years Nursery are just fantastic. My little boy can be a right handful but all the staff are just great with him. Very helpful and a trustworthy nursery. Have received a lot of help, advice and support from the staff, especially from the manager, she has been brilliant.
