Wizkidz is a wonderful nursery and our child has enjoyed the time here immensely. All of our experiences with the staff through from baby room, junior room, preschool room and administration have been excellent and we feel that our child is given the highest level of care in a truly nurturing environment.

The nursery provides a safe, happy, stable environment to nurture developing minds and great activities for all peer groups, ages and stages. The building is clean, well maintained and accessible and always welcoming. Staff are always happy to help and talk through any questions and are attentive to
the children.

Our little girl is very happy at nursery, she has met a lot of new friends. She is becoming very independent. We love that they take the kids out a lot to the park. We would love to hear more about what she is doing during the day - I think the app should be used more.

This family-run nursery has made life easy for us. From day one the staff have been welcoming, caring, friendly towards my son. They look at his needs as an individual and support him in the best way possible. The nursery staff have made our experience an easy relaxed one and management have always
responded quickly to any questions during covid when we haven’t been able to enter the nursery.

My daughter loves her nursery days. She has such fun in the preschool room. The girls are all so caring and my daughter loves spending time with them all. She really enjoys the food which is always very varied and healthy. They have lots of outdoor play which she loves. Couldn't recommend Wizkidz Nursery
enough. My son is very excited to start there soon too. My Sister's son started 6 months ago in the junior room and he loves it too.

Our little girl has been with Wizkidz Nursery for over 2 years now and it has been one of the best decisions to move her there. Wizkidz is a fantastic team and brings out the best in the kids. Our daughter had medical needs which the team have taken in their stride to learn about the condition and are
always up to date with training from the Sick Kids which gives us lots of confidence in her being in the Wizkidz environment. We honestly would recommend Wizkidz to anyone. Our little girl now runs to get to the door of the nursery to see all her friends and play which is amazing. We cannot say thank you to the team enough for all they do.

From the day my son went into WizKidz, he was getting potty trained Wizkidz ie key workers, and all the other staff which has helped him remarkably with his toilet training giving him stickers, and certificates. He is now going to the toilet himself doing pees and poos all by himself. How they have
supported him from then till now I can’t speak more highly of this nursery. They take them out to parks etc to do things with them, learn the things they need to learn. It's amazing that my oldest boy went there as well and he loved it. I highly recommended Wizkidz to anyone looking for childcare.

My daughter started going to Wizkids from around one year old and the staff in the baby room did a great job at making her feel comfortable with the initial transition. Since moving to the junior room my daughter again has always been made to feel very comfortable and absolutely loves all of the toys
and the activities that are available within the nursery. The outdoor area is great and the staff occasionally take the kids to the park too. I have also been made aware of any small accidents which have happened and I feel the staff are always very honest during pick up. The menus and snacks are also very good as they have a large variety and change regularly.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.341)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.341) out of 10 for Wizkidz Nursery 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.906 for Wizkidz Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.906

  • 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 4.435 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wizkidz Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.635

  • 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.
