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.

Wonderful nursery, which my little one absolutely loves going too. The whole team from day one have made my little ones time there enjoyable, and it is such a relief, as a parent, knowing they are having the best time. My little one start school in September and I’m gutted that he will have to leave,
but know the team have done an amazing job getting him ready for his next venture.

Our son has been at this nursery for a year now and coming from another nursery, we really saw a huge improvement. The facility itself is fantastic, new and engaging for the children. The staff have time for each child; a key worker is assigned to your child and send observations and reports every time
they are in nursery via an app. Cannot fault it!

Sandhills Nursery (Wombourne) has been a brilliant setting for my son since he started there in September 2018. All the staff of the various rooms that he has been in have been extremely helpful and made him feel comfortable. As a parent, I have always felt comfortable leaving him at the nursery in
their care.
He has always come back especially in recent classes telling us how much fun he had at nursery, and his development has become much more apparent. I feel that keyworkers do care about the children they look after and invest quality time in ensuring the children enjoy their time whilst at nursery.
Communications from the nursery have always been good, especially during this Covid-19 pandemic. Keeping the minds of parents at ease during these difficult times, ensuring we know where we stand at all times throughout these uncertain times.

Our 18 month old started at the nursery in November. He has settled in really well and the staff are all very friendly. He seems very happy to go into the nursery. It is great to get updates on what he has been up to. I would recommend to a friend.

My daughter started at Sandhills Wombourne in Sept 2020 and has made great progress, especially with her sentences and confidence. All of the staff are friendly, supportive and go above and beyond to ensure that all children are safe, enjoy learning and have fun!


I honestly cannot praise my daughter's

keyworkers enough. They are absolutely incredible and put my daughter at ease every single day. The IT/app system that the nursery uses that allows parents to see updates and notes is fantastic and puts your mind at ease. Nothing is too much trouble, and everyone is so accommodating.


During these difficult times, the nursery has done an exceptional job of keeping everyone safe. Communication between nursery and parents has been clear and transparent when decisions have had to be made. The safety of children and staff is always the number 1 priority at Sandhills.


My only regret is not starting my daughter at Sandhills sooner. I cannot recommend the setting enough! My daughter loves it!

My son now attends this nursery and my daughter attended for three years before starting school. I couldn't praise it higher; initially, my daughter attended a different nursery and so I can say that Sandhills Wombourne is a class above. All the staff seems to genuinely care about the children in their
care, they listen and they understand the parents very well too. I also find them very supportive when it can be difficult to leave your little ones behind.

Our little one joined at 6 months old and has been attending Sandhills (Wombourne) for just over year.
As a first time parents, we were anxious about leaving him for the first time, however, the support from his EYPs and Nursery staff has been fantastic, and we are so grateful.
Our little boy settled
in very quickly, and his development over the last 12 months has been brilliant. He is growing in confidence every day, and we love receiving the regular updates about his involvement in activities and his latest developments.

Our daughter loves her nursery and all the staff there. She has become a confident character and has learnt a lot from spending time with other children and adults. Absolutely love the app while I am at work I can see what she has been up to and how she is getting on. Couldn't recommend Sandhills enough
to any parent trying to decide on a nursery. My daughter started here at 8 months and she is now 2 1/2 years.

A lovely, clean nursery with caring and professional staff. After initially placing our son with a childminder we took the decision to move to this nursery and couldn’t be happier. We love that we see updates (linked to the EYFS profile) throughout the day while we can’t be with him.

Our daughter has been attending Sandhills for several years and we are very happy with the care and support she receives every day she attends. We are extremely confident that our daughter will be ready for school next year and believe that the staff at Sandhills have contributed to that with the activities
they plan with her, character building and giving her the freedom to express herself when she is there.
I will always recommend Sandhills’s Nursery at Wombourne to my friends and colleagues as they have been able to provide our daughter with a home away from home.

I couldn’t be happier sending my son to this Nursery. He has been twice so far, on both occasions I personally have been pulled away from work where I do 60-70 hours a week as my partner has been taken to the hospital. For a bloke, it’s quite daunting going into a nursery but every single staff member
has made me feel so comfortable. I don’t know names but everyone is genuinely so happy and appear to love their jobs from the lady who opens the door to the ladies upstairs in the mischiefs rooms. I am extremely happy and comfortable leaving my son here and anyone with any doubts will experience the treatment I have received upon my visits.
I only wish all of my staff were as positive as this fantastic team!!!

The staff at Sandhills Wombourne are fabulous. My son has attended since 8 months to now, 4 years and he has developed really well. The staff always create a stimulating environment. My son is continually learning and the activities are varied and creative. The EYLog is a great way to have regular updates
and I would highly recommend sandhills Wombourne and all the staff. All go the extra mile and the children are number one priority. Well done to the Wombourne team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.921 for Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is calculated as follows: ( (377 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 405 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 34 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 34 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.
