Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is a home from home setting at the heart of Wombourne, offering the perfect learning environment for children.

With local parks and amenities, such as the library, in walking distance, the children are regularly out exploring the local area whilst taking full advantage of both the indoor and outdoor nursery space.

The nursery has four rooms within the main building as well as an additional building adjacent to the main building; giving the littlest ones the space to develop their balance, confidence and independence in a safe and calm environment before moving to the main building.

The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

With several local primary schools in close proximity, they are able to develop relationships with these schools to be able to ensure that an effective and positive transition period takes place when the little ones are ready to move on to their next adventure at school.

Sandhills have been great with our little girl, who was premature. We are updated regularly about both what she's doing day to day and also how she is progressing. I feel listened to when I raise concerns about my daughter's progress and am always reassured. Thank you so much!

Reply from Hannah, Marketing Business Partner at Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so glad to hear that you feel supported and reassured. It's a pleasure to be part of your little girl's journey and watch her grow.

Very positive, my child loves nursery and all the activities. My child has developed and learned so much under the care and support of the staff, this is the reason I will not be looking at preschool.

I cannot recommend Sandhills Wombourne highly enough, they have provided care for both to the highest standard. My boys have loved and looked forward to attending each day which is largely down to the wonderful staff there. The food provided is excellent and includes recipes I would gladly eat myself.
providing
a variety of flavours for the children to experience and enjoy. The playteam are always thinking of ideas to develop and encourage learning in fun ways that are engaging for the children. I honestly wouldn't dream of sending my children anywhere else and I know that they are receiving the best start in life and preparing them for school and beyond.

Amazing nursery with amazing staff. Our children absolutely love this nursery and always come home full of stories of their fun-filled day. It's our children's home from home, and the staff feel like family to us. Staff go above and beyond to help us with our little ones.
Our children's development
has come on leaps and bounds, they play and learn and get lots of preparation for school. Their activities back-up a lot of the things we are doing at home and we feel totally reassured and supported by all staff at all times. Everyone always says hello, and makes us feel welcomed and listened to if we ever have any problems. We are just about to enrol our third child here and will truly miss this place when the time is over!

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! We're delighted to read that your children love coming to nursery and have made such wonderful progress. It means so much to us that you feel supported and reassured by the team, and we're thrilled that the activities we offer complement what you're doing at home. We will be so happy to welcome your third child and are excited to continue being part of your family's journey.

My daughter started at Sandhills Sept 2023 and has received consistent care throughout her progress in many rooms.
Safeguarding is taken seriously and the care and attention shown to children during the day is exemplary. The staff are supportive, kindly, able and attentive to both parents and children.
Food
quality and variety is excellent, hygiene is marked well (nappy changes etc). The staff in my child's room go above and beyond. I thank you all for the enrichment you provide everyday for my child.

My daughter has settled into this nursery so well and I really believe it is down all the staff she is in contact with and the environment she is in.
From the very first settling in sessions I have felt confident that my daughter is in a safe and caring environment surrounded by knowledgeable, nurturing
and fantastic nursery staff.
I appreciate the regular updates on my daughters progress and them celebrating the development milestones. Since attending my daughter has came on leaps on bounds and I feel the nursery has had a massive role in this.
The nursery is very good with catering for my daughter who has an allergy and I trust they are keeping her safe at mealtimes.
Highly recommend this nursery to anyone considering.

Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne go absolutely above and beyond for the children who attend. My daughter had a bad experience at a previous nursery which closed suddenly and since joining in December, my daughter has flourished. It's clear to see the bonds she has grown with her key workers in her room.
The managers are so approachable and great to talk to. I couldn't be happier with the experience we've had over the last 3/4 months.

This review does not just involve November, it is from the beginning of our experience with Sandhills.
From day one, this nursery has not only met but exceeded our expectations. My son has additional needs and not only has he been accommodated whilst attending, but staff have taken the time to get
to know him. As he is completely nonverbal, this is no mean feat! I sometimes struggle with myself.
Staff have been instrumental in making my son feel happy and safe, they facilitated obtaining an EHCP and have taken the time out of their day to meet the teachers of the school we hope he can attend.
If I were to ever have another child, then there is no doubt that the nursery would be top of my list.
If I were able to give 10 stars for the caring element of this review, I would score 11!

So happy with this nursery! My child has always been very well looked after, not only by his key workers and room staff but also by the office staff. They adapted the food when he hurt his mouth and the room/activities when he had a bad hip.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.914)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.914) out of 10 for Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.914 for Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is calculated as follows: ( (418 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 453 Ratings = 4.914

  • 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 Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is based on 38 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 38 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.
