Really lovely nursery! The staff are very friendly and my little boy loves it at Pavillion! He has made so many friends! He isn’t even two yet and can name all babies in his baby room and tells me his teacher's name, count to 13 and has amazing speech! Which is enough to tell me the staff are very interactive
with children as I've noticed such a difference in him since starting at Wellingtons. The staff go above and beyond for the children. The staff always prioritise children’s welfare and learning without fail. I highly recommend Wellingtons Day Nursery.
Thank you to the manager of Pavillion and your lovely staff for being the best to my son!

Thank you for your lovely review. Your son is doing so well with his learning - the staff there are very supportive of children's learning and will encourage children to learn at their own pace.

Both my children attend this nursery. In the beginning, another child did bite my daughter two weeks in a row. The staff at Wellingtons’s couldn’t have helped anymore, the situation was resolved to my satisfaction without haste.
All of the staff at Wellingtons are helpful and friendly, I feel comfortable
leaving my children there and I would highly recommend them.

Reply from Lesley Reedie, Operations Director at Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery

Thank you for your comments. It's always difficult when a child gets bitten but the staff will always react as quickly as they can to resolve the situation and remind children not to hurt each other. I'm glad it all got sorted out for you.

An amazing nursery that is so caring and brilliant with my child. I always get updates and they check in with any concerns from little to big. Activities always seem to be different, which is stimulating for the children.

Thank you for your comments. The staff always try to have a good range of activities building on children's interests which is lovely.

I’m really happy that my daughter joined this nursery. Friendly staff and they care about her.
It’s a bit too much the bill for me, for that reason, I bring her only 2 days in the week.
Thank you.

Reply from Lesley Reedie, Operations Director at Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery

Thank you for your review and glad to hear your daughter enjoys the nursery.
Have you looked at paying through Tax-free childcare - talk to the manager at the nursery about this - as this would save you 20% of the cost if you are eligible for it.

My son has been going to Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery for over 2 years now and I cannot praise this nursery and the staff there highly enough. My little boy has grown so much in confidence since going there, due to the guidance and support of the Manager and all the people who work there. I know
my son will miss everyone very much when he leaves to go to school.

Reply from Lesley Reedie, Operations Director at Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely comments. So nice to hear that the Manager and her staff have given your son such a good experience.

My daughter started at the Bilton Road Day Nursery in April, she loves it. The staff are great, always welcoming and does a great job keeping parents up to date. I love the fact that the pictures are shown on the parent zone website so you can see key moments or just snippets in your child's session.

Reply from Lesley Reedie, Operations Director at Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review. So pleased that the staff keep you up to date on your daughter's progress. The ParentZone area is of great value to parents as you can see what your child has been doing at nursery and how they are developing.

My son had been going to the nursery for some months now and I can’t get over how much he has developed. Whilst being at the nursery, his communication skills have been so much better, his learning so much and the staff there are so lovely! Always have a lovely smile on their face and always happy to
tell me about my son's day with them! Thank you for being amazing!

Reply from Lesley Reedie, Operations Director at Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery

Seeing children develop is wonderful and the staff at the nursery love to bring on children's communication skills and ensure they enjoy their experience at nursery. Thank you for your lovely comments.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.640)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.640) out of 10 for Wellingtons Bilton Road 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 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 4.857 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wellingtons Bilton Road Day Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.957

  • 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.

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 2018

Georgina has managed our WDN Bilton Road nursery since 2019, having previously worked as deputy manager at WDN Regent Place. Georgina has a wealth of qualifications and experience, along with a seemingly endless amount of enthusiasm to enable children to become the best versions of themselves.

Joined: 2014

Lesley is a founding Director of the Wellington Day Nurseries Group, having worked with us since 2014. She brings with her over 30 years of childcare experience, a vocation sparked from volunteering at her son’s nursery and school, that led to working as a preschool practitioner and progression to nursery manager in that first nursery.
