The nursery is located in the grounds of Wootey Infant School.

The children can enjoy the use of the school grounds and be part of the Wootey family. First Friends works in partnership with local schools to ensure easy transition.

The nursery environment has quality resources to ensure children have constant access to a variety of activities.

Children can free flow from indoors to outside to access their play. The qualified and experienced staff team support children in their play, learning and development. The large room is divided into two to accommodate the different age groups, which include;

- The Explorers: the toddler room (from 18 months)
- The Inventors: the pre-school room

Extra Activities
Forest School sessions:

The ethos of the Forest School sessions is to give children the time and space to develop skills, interest and understanding through a range of activities which provide practical, hands-on experiences in a natural environment.

Keeping you in the know

The nursery has a 'closed' group Facebook page (Family of First Friends Alton) where the team post about daily activities. They also have a 'General' Facebook page (First Friends Day Nurseries) where you can find out about what they are doing on a more general level.

You will be given access to an online portal, where they post your child's daily updates and progress. You can speak to your child's key worker at drop-off and pick-ups every day. The nursery sends you a bi-monthly newsletter and annual satisfaction survey.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter has been going to this nursery for just over a month and she seems as happy as can be!
She’s forever telling me about her day, activities, the staff and the children that she plays with.
I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to put their little one into Pre-School.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for First Friends Day Nursery - Wootey 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.930 for First Friends Day Nursery - Wootey is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 First Friends Day Nursery - Wootey is based on 23 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 23 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.
