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.

My granddaughter started in kindergarten with a medical condition, the severity of which was unknown to us at the time. As her condition has worsened the school as a whole and in particular kindergarten staff have been truly amazing. The love + care that has been shown by staff + children throughout
the school has made a very difficult situation so much more bearable
As grandparents we are involved in the care of our granddaughter due to her parent's work commitments. The support + care of the staff has made this responsibility so much easier to deal with. Our only regret is that due to her needs our granddaughter will be unable to continue her education at the nursery.

Winterfold Kindergarten has been an incredible and nurturing place for my daughter. The staff have gone above and beyond to help her settle in, despite this being her first experience in a nursery or school setting. I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose Winterfold, as every day we are met
with a warm welcome from her teacher and the entire team. The positive changes in her development since starting Kindergarten have been remarkable and the progress she has made is clearly reflected in her work. I am truly grateful and cannot thank her wonderful teacher and the amazing support staff enough for their care and dedication.

I cannot express how much Winterfold has done for our daughter. They go above and beyond to ensure she is looked after, supported and that communication is a priority.
We feel very lucky to have had the staff to educate our daughter.
The atmosphere as soon as you walk in is open, warm and friendly.
The
SEN team is exceptional. They are always one step ahead and their knowledge is excellent.
Very proud we are part of the Winterfold community.

My daughter went to nursery at Woodhouse at Winterfold and then went into KG1 and is now in KG2. I couldn't have a happier child. She adored her teacher in KG1 and equally adores all of her other teachers. They all have so much time for each child and it shows so much! I think she enjoys the outdoor
space a lot and especially all of her forest school activities.
My youngest will be starting KG1 after nursery and she is very happy there too.
I would highly recommend the school.

My daughter has attended Winterfold House Kindergarten since Sept 2023. She has definitely learnt a lot, has developed better listening skills, has developed social skills, and has better concentration level;
My daughter is a keen learner and is always very enthusiastic and with the support of the
staff, she is able to enjoy her learning and developing journey. The facilities at Winterfold are much to the advantage of my daughter who loves outdoor playtime, especially forest school.

I would highly recommend Winterfold Kindergarten. My daughter went there for a year prior to her going onto the main school. The staff are warm, kind, professional and are always greeted my child with a smile. My daughter was made to feel part of the Winterfold Family. They are nurturing and just overall
wonderful people. My daughter loved going to Kindergarten and we were always communicated with about her day. They make an effort to know and understand every child. Thank you Winterfold for helping shape my child to who they are today.

I cannot recommend the kindergarten at Winterfold House highly enough. My two boys have both been through the kindergarten and now go to the school. The staff are absolutely fantastic. They take so much pride in their work and are incredibly nurturing towards the children. They certainly go above and
beyond. The facilities available to the children are second to none, including a fantastic forest school environment. The kindergarten gave my boys a fantastic start to their education. Thank you so much Winterfold!

My son began Kindergarten in January 2024, and it was the best choice I made by enrolling him in this school. They offer an ideal balance for children, along with outstanding facilities for both outdoor and indoor play. I wholeheartedly recommend Winterfold.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.715)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.715) 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.965 for Winterfold House Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.965

  • 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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Winterfold House Kindergarten is based on 12 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. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.75

  • 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.
