We’ve been sending our son here since October 2023. I instantly knew Fennies in Walton was where I wanted him to go from the tour. They settled him in so well and really care for all the babies and toddlers. The staff are so engaged and have created a beautiful bond with my boy so I’ve always felt very
happy as I know he’s in the best of hands!

I was really nervous ahead of sending my little one to nursery at 7 months old, but the Explorers and management team at Fennies were really reassuring and understanding and worked to ensure my preferences and routines were accommodated. My child settled in super well, really quickly, and continues
to eat and sleep well too! The onsite kitchen/catering team is a real plus too - they eat so well. The app is great and regularly updated in real-time, and the weekly photo updates are a real highlight of the week. He's just about to turn 1, and it's clear to see how much fun he has, and he has a brilliant bond with everyone, especially with his key worker. They also put on regular stay/play and parent events too. I couldn't recommend Fennies more and so happy with everything. Thanks, team.

My little boy started the nursery just when he turned one year old at babies room. He settled well in three weeks time.
The nursery is clean and has great facilities and a nice garden.
The food is great and cooked in the kitchen at nursery. They are very flexible with each baby's food requirements
if they have any allergy and intolerance.
The application is great providing live info on food, nappy change, sleep garden and one observation for him each week along with photos showing what they have been up to.
The staff supports parents in the best way they can. Even offered me to put my son’s swimming nappy on just before I collected him for his swimming class. And last but not least, the manager and deputy manager are just a phone call away, well disciplined, friendly and cooperative. I’ve asked for some ad hoc days for my boy to go to nursery and the manager had kindly agreed when the ratio of staff to baby allowed.

My daughter has been at Fennies Nursery Walton since August 2022. Fennies have great facilities and we love that they are constantly in and out of the wonderful garden area which my daughter loves. They do such a variety of activities including recently having bees and beekeepers come in! The food is
well balanced, nutritious and always devoured by my daughter! The team are very supportive and friendly, helping parents as well as the children through difficult periods. My daughter has progressed extremely well and will be well ready to start school in September.

We were quite anxious sending our little boy to nursery for the first time at only 9 months old. He is now 14 months and to say that we're thrilled with Fennies Walton is an understatement! The staff are just brilliant; they're all really experienced and well trained, have so much energy and truly care
about the children. The facilities are fantastic - our boy is really active and the garden is just amazing with so much space for him to run around! His development has come on so much since being there - we really couldn't be happier with Fennies Walton and highly recommend it to all!

Fennies and its team are absolutely superb and we feel our child is in the very best hands. She has been at the nursery since it opened and when she was 6 months old. She has thrived there and I think they give her the very best; be that nutrition, stimulation, resources and creativity. The staff are
so dedicated to their roles and love the children so much. The manager is also so approachable and transparent with the parents. Our child is so happy there and is joyous whenever we collect her. I would recommend Fennies to any parent needing nursery care.

We've recently started sending our son to Fennies and the settling-in process was brilliant. The staff were so supportive and took the time to ensure he's settled in properly. The facilities are fantastic and the staff are friendly, considerate and caring (the list could go on!). They really understand
child development and provide the emotional support needed for such young children. Our son comes home happy and surprises us with new skills regularly. Fennies have gone beyond what we expected of a nursery and we are so happy he is there.

My daughter attends Fennies Nursery Walton 4 days per week and has been there for a year, having moved from another nursery which was not as convenient for us location-wise.
My daughter is clearly very happy at Fennies and has bonded really well with every staff member who has cared for her. She goes
in/comes home with a big smile on her face, which is lovely to see. The facilities and particularly outdoor space are lovely and spacious. The activities each day seem be varied and well thought out. There are detailed reports with photos and updates about what the children have been up to each week.
From the perspective of a parent, I have been particularly impressed by the Manager and deputy manager. I feel like they really care about the families and the success of the nursery as a whole. They are professional yet warm.

What an amazing nursery, my little boy is so happy there and gets excited when he gets dropped off. All the staff are so welcoming, accommodating and friendly. The rooms are clean and the garden is amazing for the kids to crawl/run around. The biggest plus is the security that’s given me peace of mind.
It is amazing watching my boy grow and learn.

Two of our sons joined Fennies in January 2022. Our youngest started in the baby room when he was 15 months old and is now in preschool! Our middle son was nearly 3 and has recently started school. As a mother of 3, I have experienced many nurseries and none of them come close to the standard that Fennies
have set. All the staff in the rooms are incredibly attentive, engaging and loving towards the children. The senior management are incredible and so hands-on. The nursery just keeps improving. The manager is always looking at new ways to improve the facilities from PE, and Spanish lessons to beautiful art classes. Our boys settled in so quickly and love/loved going to nursery every day (even on weekends they ask to go!) It definitely feels like home away from home, especially with the live updates - we always feel connected and know what our children are doing. We absolutely love our Fennies family and are confident that our children are getting the best foundation for their future!

No matter what adversity the team are thrown with staffing issues etc they manage these seamlessly. Since the nursery manager joined the nursery has been run with efficiency and love - with her deputy manager by her side there is no stopping them both amazing experience women who I trust. My daughter's
key worker has since pretty much started with a small gap - she is kind and experienced and has given my daughter the time and support to develop and grow in her personality someone I trust implicitly in my absence. Plus the key worker who is a new but amazing addition to the toddler room has made a real impact in a short amount of time creating lots of fun and games. We love Fennies and the staff my daughter is happy and healthy and most importantly thriving - I would recommend it to a friend.

We highly recommend Fennies Walton. Our two daughters run in so excitedly every morning and they clearly love their time there. All of the staff are highly experienced and truly care about the children. The comms are easy (they use the Tapestry app and are moving to a ‘more efficient’ one soon) and
I honestly have no bad words to say. The garden is far superior to our previous nursery (not naming names) and I love that it's a shared garden for all the rooms, so siblings can play together and the ages mix sometimes. The team are doing a sterling job at a time when the system is failing them repeatedly.

Our son has been with Fennies for more than a year and loves going there every day. Since the beginning they have been very supportive with his settlement, as with every child it was difficult for him at the beginning but with their support, we managed to get him to this stage. They are also helping
and guiding us through the process of changing and readiness for his September school start, as parents we value that a lot, but most importantly to leave our son every day knowing he is happy to stay with them.
Fennies is definitely delivering that for our son.

Top quality nursery. Excellent communications during the day and regular updates, with bespoke observations that provide developmental feedback. Wonderful caring staff. Site is very secure and the children are safe. On site parking is also very good. The food offering is superb they eat like kings and
queens. Activities are very creative, linked to themes such as child safety, oceans and dinosaurs. Highly recommended, if you can find a place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for Fennies Walton, Tennis Close 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.946 for Fennies Walton, Tennis Close is calculated as follows: ( (522 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 551 Ratings = 4.946

  • 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 Fennies Walton, Tennis Close is based on 46 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 101 number of registered child places is 20.2, which has been reached with 46 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.
