I have nothing but praise for Vantage Park Day Nursery. My son has attended the nursery since he was a year old and is now in the 2-3 room almost ready to move up to pre-school. From day one the staff have been so open and honest about their procedures and way of teaching that I have never had to question
anything they have been doing. My son has learnt so much since being at the nursery and his development has been fantastic. The staff treat my son as an individual which I can clearly see from the 6 monthly progress reviews that I receive and also from daily feedback received on pick up. The staff are always willing to help with anything related to the well being of my son particularly if it is something that crosses over with home and nursery. October has been quite a challenging month for my son as he started potty training and I cannot thank the staff enough for all their help and encouragement to aid in this. Vantage Park is a wonderful nursery.

To have a peace of mind that your child is well looked after and at the same time secure and well educated - that’s the nursery you will choose.
I’ve been with Vantage Park Nursery over 2 years and can’t complain of anything - more - I would extremely recommend it to every parent. Best place for your
child to be.

Very happy with the level of care provided at Vantage Park Day nursery. Plenty of activities to keep the children engaged at all ages evidenced by the weekly newsletter provided. The staff are very friendly and show a genuine interest in our son's development. They are very supportive especially during
the challenging times of potty training which I couldn't have managed to do without their help.

I couldn’t ask for a better nursery for our son. Friendly and professional staff who are always willing to help and answer any questions. They have a lovely outdoor space and high quality toys and equipment which our son thoroughly enjoys. Our son’s development has flourished over the past year and
we believe a big part of this is the interaction, care and support he receives at Vantage Park Day Nursery. It is a fantastic place for our boy to play, learn and develop.

Both of my children attend this nursery, my little boy has been attending the nursery since it opened. I have always found the staff so friendly and fantastic with both of my children. It is such a lovely nursery with great space for the children to play inside and outside. The activities the children
do day to day are engaging and very well thought out and both my children come home and tell me of their day and about what they have been up to. I love the updates at the end of the week from the nursery and anytime I need some more information or have questions, the staff are very open in answering them and spending the time.

I would and have recommended Vantage Park to other parents. When the lockdown restrictions allowed for kids to go back to school I thought Vantage Park handled the transition and intake very well. They have gone above and beyond with their measures to ensure the kids are safe and protected. It is a
shame we can no longer see our kids in action but they have ensured we stay up to date with their activities. The team are very accommodating to change requirements which I think other places may be a little stringent with. The only reasons I am saying "likely" and not "extremely likely" is I am aware the cost is not overly competitive to other establishments. That being said, I think the activities, surroundings and staff do make up for that.

Reply from Beth Fox, Manager at Vantage Park Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback. We are pleased you are happy with the standard of care we provide. In regard to the costs of our provision, we feel these represent the high standard of the childcare within our setting alongside the fantastic resources and facilities we have therefore the costs reflect a good value for money.

We are both so happy with our experience of Vantage Par Day Nursery so far. From the moment we visited the beautiful setting, we knew it’s where we wanted our son to go. The initial settling in period was very smooth and our son settled quickly. Every member of staff we have spoken to has been friendly
and professional. Any queries we have are always dealt with quickly and the daily/weekly communication is very good. I could not praise the nursery any more highly for how they dealt with lockdown and reopening. For us, the most important factor is that our son is safe and happy and we feel that Vantage Park is perfect for him.

Vantage Park Day Nursery is wonderful. The staff are really friendly and good with the children, as well as professional and hard working. Even during COVID, we are seeing what they're up to in the weekly newsletter, getting daily reports of naps and meals, and our two are having a marvellous time.
(Before lockdown, we had all this and more with face to face chats when picking up.)
If you go on a visit you will see all the facilities - our two especially love the platform they built so the children can watch the tractors!
We did have experience of another setting in the area, and we are much happier with Vantage Park Day Nursery.

My son started when he was two, he has had an amazing time there, and I've always felt comfortable leaving him. The staff are all welcoming and enthusiastic, you can see how well they know and care for the children. My son's development has been incredible, and I owe that to the nursery. I don't think
he would have flourished as well in another setting.

My daughter has been going to Vantage Park nursery for 18-months, and she absolutely adores it. She has really good bonds with the staff across the nursery and has grown in confidence. I was really impressed by their ability to support children and parents during the lockdown. Since lockdown, they have
worked hard to make parents and children feel safe whilst still ensuring that there's good communication. I think the staff are exceptional and truly care about the cistern that they are looking after. I love that children have so much time outside and follow the forest school model of learning. My daughter really loves coming to nursery, and I think they will set her up for school when she gets older.

I honestly couldn't have wished for a better nursery to send my little boy. He started there in April 2019 at 11-months-old, and over a year on, I'm still so happy we chose Vantage Park.
All of the staff are so lovely and go above and beyond for each child. The nursery support parents with the routines
set at home.
My little boys are developing so well, and I know for a fact that Vantage Park has played a huge part in this.
I love the fact that the children go outside no matter the weather and get to explore the garden and learn about nature.
My little boy is always so happy to go to nursery in the morning, and I think that says a lot in itself!

My son has attended Vantage Park Day Nursery since February 2018. He has had the best care and the best caregivers. The staff are excellent and hard working. Always encouraging the children to work hard and try their best. Excellent service when dropping off and picking up. I’m so happy my child has
made good relationships with staff and children.

We are very pleased with this nursery. Our child absolutely loves going and enjoys talking about his key workers at home too which is a good sign. The built environment is lovely, especially the garden overlooking the fields with tractors! The staff are warm, friendly and seem passionate about creating
an interesting environment and varied activities for the children. They happily give the time to chat through my child's day when asked. Very happy to recommend this nursery.

I couldn't be more thrilled and impressed by this nursery. It is beautiful, the staff are outstanding. It has a great atmosphere and it feels like I am dropping my son off with family. All staff are professional, polite and have a great understanding of my child, even the ones that aren't in the same
room as my son! I have used Wigwam nurseries before and I think the chain is exceptional. Think they should venture into schools, ready for my sons next steps.

Our 2 daughters were initially at a different nursery which we weren’t happy with, so we looked round Vantage Park Day Nursery as a possible alternative. We were so impressed we transferred them as soon as we could and are so pleased we did.
The settling in sessions were excellent - our eldest (then
3) was asking when she could go back and our youngest (then 18 months) was more than happy to be left there.
They have now been there for just over a year and absolutely love it. They do a huge variety of activities (including an actual woodwork bench for the preschool room), and the garden facilities are brilliant. The nursery follows the forest school initiative which is fantastic - getting them involved in outdoor activities whatever the weather.
I would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery. The staff are fantastic and genuinely care about the children and the nursery facilities are exceptional. I am very happy leaving both my girls there which, for me, is the real testament of how pleased I am with Vantage Park Day Nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.484)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.484) out of 10 for Vantage Park Day Nursery 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 Vantage Park Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 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 3.484 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vantage Park Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.234

  • 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.
