A home from home. From the moment we met the nursery team here, we just knew that our little boy would be loved as if he were their own. Everything about the team here is what should be in every nursery - their values, kindness, warmth and humble approach to life are all qualities we want our little
one to grow up surrounded by. For us, this is the most important thing. Thank you to the front-of-house staff and all of the management behind the scenes who work relentlessly every day to make this nursery an incredible place to be. We are delighted that this team is starting our little one's journey on this road called life.

My daughter came to Wolstanton Kindergarten for a short time and she had a fantastic time. The staff here made my daughter feel at home on her first day and she always came home talking about what they had done during the day. The staff are all lovely and always greeted us with professionalism and a
smile! All a parent wants when they choose a childcare facility is to feel confident in leaving their child with professional staff who absolutely love their job, this is exactly what I experienced every day that my daughter attended. This is an outstanding nursery to send children to and I would highly recommend it!

My 1-year-old son has been attending this nursery for 4 months now and he thoroughly enjoys it. The level of care here is outstanding and the atmosphere is wonderful. It has a very homely feeling. All the staff go above and beyond for each and every child. We wouldn’t send our children anywhere else.

Choosing a nursery for your child to attend each day for a parent is very very difficult. As soon as we walked into Wolstanton, we knew that this is the one! All staff welcomed us as a family into the nursery and gave us a thorough tour and run through of their day to day routines. It is very home from
home like, lots of things going on around the nursery, displays of the children’s work are all over for parents to see. Very detailed discussions are made when collecting our child on what they have done throughout the day as well as seeing their social media posts. The staff look after our child like she is their own, which we love! She has been going to the nursery now for 2 years and she absolutely loves it, she’s built up great relationships with all staff and made some great friends. We would highly recommend Wolstanton Kindergarten as no other beats this!

My daughter started at Wolstanton Kindergarten earlier this year, and like most parents, I felt nervous about it, but I needn't have worried.
The girls are absolutely brilliant and made us feel really comfortable, and my daughter settled in so quickly. She has come on in leaps and bounds since attending
the nursery, and it has really improved her confidence and social skills. The activities they do are great, and the staff are so friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

My daughter has been going to Wolstanton Kindergarten for two days a week since September 2018. The staff are very welcoming and my daughter loves it. She is now out of nappies with the help of the staff and progressing very well with her speech. I was anxious about leaving her at first but the staff
made us both feel comfortable.

My son has only been going to Wolstanton Kindergarten since April this year but in just seven months of being there, he has come on leaps and bounds. He is such a happy, confident little boy. The staff are so bubbly and friendly and I felt immediately welcomed upon arrival. The nursery staff are always
smiley and very approachable and they do such lovely activities with the children. I would definitely recommend Wolstanton Kindergarten.

Reply from Natasha Richards, Director at Wolstanton Kindergarten

Thank you so much for your review. The girls are always so happy as they love working with the children. There really is no better job.

My little boy has attended Wolstanton Kindergarten from 4 months old. As you can imagine with him being so small, it was a very difficult challenge to pick the 'perfect' nursery. I truly believe we found this in Wolstanton Kindergarten. Our son is now in his last year at the nursery and I will genuinely
be so sad when he leaves. The nursery setting is so homely. All the staff and children are like one big family. I love the passion of all the staff. They really are in the job because they adore what they do. There are always new and exciting topics going on that are fun and educational. The children are always taking part in fun days and have the opportunity to go out into the community on trips. The food choice is fantastic. Wolstanton Kindergarten will enable your children to flourish in the most loving setting. It was the best decision we ever made. I would 10000% recommend this nursery to anyone.

Reply from Natasha Richards, Director at Wolstanton Kindergarten

Thank you so much for this review. The girls work so hard every single day and they really really do love what they do. From the baby room right through to our pre-school, we aim to give the children the very best experiences of learning to prepare them for their future education and it's so good to know that our parents appreciate this.

I was warmly welcomed when I just dropped visited into nursery to check it out. Very friendly, caring staff. I felt my child needed an extra settling in session which the nursery obliged. Very attentive when listening to child’s medical needs. Feel reassured that my child will be well looked after and
their individual needs catered for. Home from home feel, not a massive impersonal setting. All staff seem very knowledgeable and take an active interest in your child, even though they aren’t your child’s key worker. Key worker very thorough and supportive. Newsletter gives key dates and events. Parents invited in to see children’s achievements. An alternative day offered for bank holiday closures.

Our son has been going to this nursery since he was one and he is now in the preschool. He started going just one day a week to start with and came on so well just from going that one day a week. The staff are very accommodating. Now in preschool, our son goes three full days and he loves it. His confidence
is growing more and more each time he goes. The staff keep in contact with you informing you of all the things he is learning about and they are very welcoming. There is always something fun going on if it isn’t a Halloween party it’s baking biscuits or visiting the poppies for Remembrance Day.

I had to move my son to a Nursery closer by, due to funding issues. I was extremely happy with the Staff and how bubbly they are. My son felt at ease and soon settled. I think it is good how regular learning updates are requested from parents to help the Staff when planning their activities. I think
the range of toys in the garden is impressive. The price per day is acceptable and I would definitely recommend this Nursery to anyone who is on the lookout.

The nursery staff and owner are welcoming, warm-hearted people! You really do feel like you are leaving your children with family! The nursery is safe, supportive and effective in giving a good quality service and education. My children have loved going! My best friend now sends her children and my
nephew also attended! I would recommend this nursery to anybody that is looking for somewhere to send there mini loved ones!

My daughter has attended at Wolstanton Kindergarten since 2017 when I was forced to move her from a previous nursery due to issues. I was quite nervous about the move due to my experience at the previous nursery but the girls at Wolstanton Kindergarten were amazing and it wasn't too long before I was
completely at ease.
My daughter is very well cared for and I feel like they take care of all of the children as they would their own. The relationships they form with the children are amazing and I know that my daughter especially loves them all like family. She has come on leaps and bounds since being with them and the wide variety of subjects that she learns about amazes me every day.
I cannot thank the girls or recommend the setting enough.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.200)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.200) out of 10 for Wolstanton 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Wolstanton Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wolstanton Kindergarten is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 25 number of registered child places is 5. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5 = 0.2

  • 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.
