A wonderful school, so nurturing, and full of so much opportunity for the children. Staff are amazing and so caring. Both my children love it at Winterfold, it always has such a warm welcoming feel. Facilities are outstanding, and the new Penryn Hall and Peacock lodge are a wonderful new addition to
the school, the Children thrive here.

Our son's time at kindergarten has been wonderful. He was very shy but the teachers really helped him come out of his shell. All the staff are amazing, always courteous and helpful. They maintain a very nurturing environment. They make great effort on special days (Father's/Mother's days, etc). The
outdoor facilities are really good. I have recommended Winterfold to my friends and family'

Both my sons started Winterfold House, Kindergarten in September 2024. I cannot express my gratitude towards the school and wonderful staff. My children are learning and developing from the different experiences provided by the school. The outdoor activities including the introduction of Peacock lodge
is something that makes this a unique environment. Looking forward to watching them continue to grow and develop confidence.

This is a fabulous place, my little one literally runs in. They do so much with the little ones, gymnastics, forest school, music makers, gardening club and they have a lovely big playground that is ideal for them. They're always doing arts and crafts, and spend a lot of time outside. It's hard to
believe but in between all these fabulous activities my little one has also learned phonics and can read three letter words. I can't recommend this place enough!

We are incredibly grateful for everything Winterfold Kindergarten has done for our daughter. The staff truly go above and beyond to ensure she is not only looked after but also supported in every aspect of her development.


Our daughter particularly loves the new outdoor learning facility. Which

provides a unique opportunity for children to connect with nature while developing important life skills. We are thrilled with the hands-on, adventurous learning it offers for our daughter.


From the moment we walk through the doors, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and friendly-creating an environment where our daughter feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. We couldn't be more pleased with her experience at Winterfold Kindergarten.


Highly recommend!

Overall the school is great. My child is very clingy but the teachers there are amazing with him so he doesn't feel so anxious when I leave him anymore, I thought this process would take more time. The staff are also really friendly with parents too, they are engaging & always happy to take the time
to inform you of how the day went, it is very reassuring. This is what makes the school a great place, alongside how early the learning journey starts. My son learns so much & when we get updates through the portal, you can understand that a lot of work is being put into the children to develop their minds & curiosity.

All staff have always been genuinely interested in our child both in school and out of school. Our horses mean a lot to us, so asking about them made him settle in much quicker and gave something to talk about.
He's always wanted to go in to nursery and KG and the teachers are so nurturing. We love
bromsgrove Winterfold and would recommend.

Brilliant nursery! We're so pleased with the team who care for our daughter daily and who are nurturing and developing her in all areas.
It really feels like the teachers tailor their skills to each individual child and help them where they really need it. We're beyond pleased with our choice of Winterfold
nursery and only wished we lived near it when our son was younger. The new Peacock Lodge facility is also brilliant and our daughters favourite day!

A beautiful setting with kind and supportive staff - my child has grown in confidence; his needs have been understood because he has been valued and nurtured wholeheartedly.
His experiences here (particularly the outdoor play which has been fabulous) have helped shape him for life.

Overall the nursery is an excellent nurturing environment for our little boy. He has excelled in his development and learning even at his early age. We are very pleased with his progress and the hands on approach the nursery prioritises. Excellent all round.

The staff are amazing and our daughter loves her time there. They have so many activities that she's never ever bored. She especially loves Peacock Lodge days! She goes in every day with a smile on her face and comes home with the same. It's a great start to her schooling!

It is a wonderful nursery with amazing staff and incredible opportunities and facilities for the children. The children spend 2 of their 5 days doing outdoor learning/forest school in a fabulous new set up at the school and the relationships and trust they have in the nurturing staff at the nursery
are second to none.

Kindergarten is an asset to Winterfold. My boys joined at 9 months old & have flourished in their early years. The experiences they have, with the new addition of Peacock Lodge, give them adventure + curiosity to the world around them. Staff are kind, nurturing + approachable, whom I trust implicitly
with my children.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) out of 10 for Winterfold House Kindergarten 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.983 for Winterfold House Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (354 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 Winterfold House Kindergarten is based on 30 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 30 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.
