The senior management and facilities at Fennies Walton are exceptional. Both our boys are very happy and cared for by the staff. The outside space is very big and all age groups benefit from it. Security is also a priority.

Our daughter started at Fennies Walton in March 2022 when she was 6 months old. She is now almost 2 and her time there has been incredible so far. It's a really tough thing to send your child to nursery and we were nervous, especially given how young she was. But she is so happy and has been since day
one. She runs into the room each morning with joy and it's often hard to take her away at the end of the day.
Her development has been outstanding and the care they offer is excellent. The staff are incredible and each one cares sincerely for her health and happiness.
We chose Fennies for a number of reasons but one of the main attractions is their amazing garden. When the sun starts to shine the kids are out there all the time exploring and playing and it really is the best thing to pick her up and to see her smile from her adventures outdoors.
We are incredibly happy with Fennies and would highly recommend it to all parents.

My two daughters are attending Fennies Walton full time and I can not compliment enough the nursery management and all the staff working there. My eldest joined the nursery upon the opening from another neighbouring nursery and from the start we were impressed with the quality of the facilities and
the management, which has taken up to another level when the manager took over. She is very warm and caring, she listens, understands and acts upon any feedback received from parents to make subtle improvements on a daily basis. The reports we get and personalised feedback, care dairy, as well as numerous as hoc events for parents and children are invaluable! This is truly a home from home environment and couldn’t have wished for better care for my two daughters.

Amazing management team, my 15-month-old settled so quickly, credit to the more mature staff in there. They keep me well informed with the day-to-day things on an app, even sending me photos every day. I know I have to work but this way I still get to see how my child is doing and what they are learning.
Thank you and keep up the great work.

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.
