My child started with Yellow Wellies here when he was 1 year and 5 months so he was in the baby room and just left pre-school before he started reception. All the staff from the baby room to preschool are very supportive and my child enjoyed his time here.

As a mother, I've been so pleased with the care my baby receives at Yellow Wellies. From the start, I've felt confident knowing my child is in a nurturing environment that supports early growth.
What stands out most is their focus on child-led learning, even for babies. The staff are attentive to my
baby's individual needs, helping them explore the world through sensory play and social interaction. I've seen my baby grow more curious, confident, and comfortable in their surroundings.
The team is dedicated to fostering development, and I've noticed positive changes in my baby's motor skills and social interactions. I'm so grateful for the care and support provided.
I wholeheartedly recommend Yellow Wellies to any parent seeking a warm, developmental, and child-centered nursery.

My child has come on leaps and bounds from this nursery. The care and support provided for the children is exceptional! The use of the app so I know what my child's been doing is fantastic and I'm always updated with what she's up to.

My daughter had a really hard time starting nursery after two years with just family and the nursery were just so supportive with 121 care whenever she needed it. She clung to her key worker for the whole first week and they held her to sleep when she needed and sat with her whilst she ate despite her
nerves translating to quite challenging behaviours.
I know other friends have had experiences where the child hasn't been supported so well so we're really grateful and she's starting to enjoy it now.

A kind and caring nursery with staff who are really engaged with the children. My daughter has loved her time at Yellow Wellies and I feel that the staff who have looked after her really know her and have helped support her growth and development through pre-school. I like the fact the children are
allowed to try things out and make a mess, the atmosphere always feels relaxed and welcoming. We will be sad to say goodbye this summer.

Beautiful caring nursery that has added enormously to the growth of our child. The staff are fantastic, always thinking of fun learning activities to help the children develop, enjoy themselves and just be kids! We love the smaller nursery setting where all of the team knows our child and in turn, they
feel relaxed with all of them. The management team are incredibly helpful and supportive. The home-cooked delicious food is also a huge hit with our child (and therefore us as parents). Thank you.

Yellow Wellies is a fantastic nursery, which provides excellent care and education for the children who attend. My daughter has been attending for one year, and all the nursery staff we have dealt with in that time have been outstanding. My daughter settled in quickly and now loves going to the nursery.
We can see how attending has helped her develop her language skills and her confidence in interacting with the other children and staff.

Wonderful and friendly staff! I have watched my son grow in confidence and make some lovely friendships.
You always know that your child is going to be well cared for and looked after at Yellow Wellies.
The staff in pre-school are amazing, and I couldn't thank them enough for all the hard work they
put in day after day!

My child loves their time at nursery with the attentive staff and messy play, encouraging learning, motor skills and self-expression. I'm almost 100% my child has additional needs, and this is being closely monitored and spoken about with myself, other parents and all staff giving me a lot of peace
of mind during nursery hours. This nursery works for us so much so, that my younger child will also be starting when they hit two.

My child's been to Yellow Wellies in Durham for a year. He's been having so much fun and have learned a lot from nursery. He barely talked in English at first but now he can have long conversation in English. All the teachers are lovely and caring for their pupils. I am very happy that I made the right
decisions.

This is a brilliant nursery. The staff are very caring (my boys are very fond of their keyworkers and are always happy to see them) and attentive. The outside space is a wonderful addition - especially for a city centre nursery and communication is really outstanding.

This is a wonderful nursery. Our children are outdoors pretty much every day, in all weather, and come home covered in mud, sand, paint etc., and full of excitement about what they've done that day. The staff are amazing - we've watched our children grow in confidence so much, thanks to the supportive,
kind, warm environment and the attention and care of their key person. We'll be sending our third child to Yellow Wellies in a few months and know that she'll be happy and well-cared for there. The culture at the nursery is also very friendly, so we've made some lovely friends with other Yellow Wellies parents. The building is undergoing some renovations, which are needed (some rooms etc. were looking a bit tired), and there isn't a huge amount of space for the babies, but this is more than compensated for by the outstanding staff and the warm, friendly, professional culture.

I am very satisfied with the school my son attends. The teachers are friendly, the facilities, and the students study very well. The dishes are changed accordingly. There are many very useful outdoor picnics. Play area with many experiences for children.

We're very happy with Yellow Wellies, and both our children (1, 4) settled in very quickly, their key persons took the time to get to know them and helped them a lot with settling. The staff are friendly and seem a close-knit team, and the children all seem happy and engaged. They have a great curriculum
for the pre-schoolers. We would strongly recommend it to others.

Our 3-year-old daughter goes to Yellow Wellies full time and she loves it. She started in the baby room and moved up to the preschool room afterwards. She loves all the activity and during the day we get updates, which I enjoy and what helps a lot with feeling happy about leaving her every day, it also
gives me something to talk about when she gets home. The staff are an absolute pleasure. We have only moved to the area in May of last year and they have just been so welcoming. I hope this tells you how lucky we are to have found Yellow Wellies .. we both work full time and they create a home away from home for our little girl.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Yellow Wellies Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.783 for Yellow Wellies Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.783

  • 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 Yellow Wellies Day Nursery is based on 15 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
