Wellingborough Day Nursery offers a comfortable and spacious environment, where children are encouraged to develop a love for learning with the help of a qualified and dedicated team. The setting is located next to Croyland Park and just a short walk from the town centre and offers full time and part time childcare sessions. 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.

Each room offers a diverse range of activities such as story time, cooking, painting and planting to keep each child's day exciting and unique. All rooms provide access to its own garden, and the nursery encourages outdoor play and learning all year round, regardless of the weather. The team is qualified and passionate about each child's education and well-being.

Babies start in a cosy room, where they are free to explore through a mix of child-led and structured learning activities. Toddlers are introduced to a range of learning experiences through sensory and imaginative play, with opportunity to experience ‘discover zones’, providing natural resources for children to engage with.

Pre-Schoolers have the freedom to learn and play according to their individual preferences, whether that is expressing their creativity through various arts and crafts, being active in the spacious garden or relaxing with books in the quiet reading corner. Throughout their later years in nursery, and with the support of the team, children are supported in their transition to school.

Wellingborough Day Nursery ensures that the needs of the children are a top priority and strives to provide the best possible care and education.

My son started at Wellingborough Day Nursey in January 2024 when he was barely 10 months old. We decided to enrol him only because his mom was due to start a job. Due to family reasons we decided that she would stop the job after one month.
However, so vast was the improvement in our son that we decided
that he had to continue irrespective. Since then, he has found a second home and a second family.
The staff are so friendly, warm, caring and nice and the moment our son steps into the nursery, he practically forgets about us and we do not exist to him anymore! He is in his "home"!
The manager and the team are so flexible and they gave us invaluable support during the birth of our son's little sister in November 2024 and we can't wait to hand her over to them as well.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Wellingborough Day Nursery

It is wonderful to read that your son has thrived since joining our nursery and has found a second home with us! We're glad the team's warmth and care have made such a positive impact, and we're glad he feels so comfortable and happy here. We are excited to welcome your daughter into our nursery family as well!

They are a fabulous nursery. The staff are always friendly.
We've had our daughter there since she was 9 months old and recently just turned 2 so has moved room which they helped make a smooth transition.
The communication is always good and open.
They explore the local area and take part in different
events throughout the year.
Since starting we can see constant updates within the setting to resources.
We're looking forward to the future of how our daughter will develop whilst being there.

My son has been attending Wellingborough Day Nursery since 2022 at 10 months old and we've now made it to Pre-School so I can say we've experienced everything on offer! What stands out the most is the staff and how friendly they all are. Having known some of them for 2.5 years now it feels like you
truly go on a journey with them and even when you move rooms they still make time for us and make you feel welcome. The nursery has recently invested in new toys like play kitchens and upgrades to the garden. They take walks into town and are planning nursing home visits and get involved with charity days like Children in Need and do activities relating to them. There is also a bi-weekly dance/storytelling class which looks great fun for the children. The older your child gets the more they obviously can participate but it definitely feels that the nursery have spent time and effort cultivating a fun environment for all.

No comment, staff very helpful, my child is very well taken care of. Nursery prices are acceptable. Maybe potty training would be useful for a lot of kids as some new parents don't know where to start potty training.

My daughter was a nervous and shy baby, the staff here made her settling in time very easy and at her own pace. She's settled in very quickly. The staff are very lovely and all the children are always excited and happy to see everyone on arriving. My daughter was in the baby room. Is very calming and
very cosy children have lots to do all the time. Staff enjoy cuddles and my daughter enjoyed her time here.

The nursery setting is great, there is plenty to keep the children occupied and build their rounded education for progression to school.
However, communication needs to be improved. The last update on my child on the app was in January 2023.

Outstanding pre school, with excellent friendly staff, very good with my children past and present have tried a couple of pre schools that did not seem to have the patience or time for my daughter but the manager and her team have done an excellent job with settling her in and making her feel welcome
and helping all of ours and our daughters anxieties I would highly recommend to anybody. Always a good feeling when you know that your little ones are safe, looked after and secure. Great staff, great team and great environment all round! 12/10

The nursery takes great care in looking after the children and providing them with the best experiences possible. The staff are welcoming and warm and are always happy to give a detailed overview of the children's days. They take onboard routines and behaviour management techniques used at home to ensure
continuity of care and consistency for the children, which has been great for their development. They have been extremely supportive of the children's circumstances and work with us as a team around the children, which we couldn't be more thankful for! The children are always excited to go to Wellingborough Day Nursery and leave with smiles on their faces! They have formed some wonderful relationships with members of staff and it is clear that this is due to their compassion, energy and commitment to the children.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.425)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.425) out of 10 for Wellingborough Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.631 for Wellingborough Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.631

  • 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 4.794 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wellingborough Day Nursery is based on 10 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.794

  • 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.
