Everybody there is super kind and attentive to my baby. He has always a great time there, the food is home made and healthy and everyday they have such creative activities. I would recommend without even blinking.
It's pricey but it's worth it.

The staff are lovely and management is very hands-on and approachable. The children seem happy and my child in particular is always in good spirits during drop-offs and pick-ups. I have no doubt my child is well looked after both in terms of emotional support and skills development.
The only point
I believe could be improved is reporting of the children's activities: while they are very good at keeping us informed of the activities being carried out, sometimes not all children appear in the photographs that come with the updates. It would be nice if they could try to ensure that there is at least one photo of each child in the group updates.

Filled with the sort of kind, responsible people who do it for the love of the job. This to me is fundamental.
The nursery app is easy to use and follow our little one's progress throughout the day. The Explorers team have also explained to me how it works: the software is efficient so their time isn't
taken up inputting lots of information which gives them more time with our children. Even better, key family members involved in care (parents, siblings) can see it too.
The Explorers team are kind with my daughter and they genuinely care. There's a lot of activities put on that I wouldn't even think of/consider as a parent which the kids look like they really enjoy. It's great to see photos and videos of these on lunch break at work or on the train home on the app!
My daughter appears to sleep and eat better at nursery, despite our best efforts at home!
Management team works well together/complement each other. Professional, kind, efficient, likeable.
In summary, a firm recommend.

Since my god daughter has been going to Fennies Kidbrooke, I have seen a huge difference in her confidence as well as her independence. I love seeing all the pictures that get uploaded and seeing how her day is. The sandpit in the garden looks amazing and wish I could have one at home. There has been
a recent change in management which has taken the nursery to the next level in care and they are always happy to listen to any questions or suggestions that we may have. I have seen a vast improvement over the last few months and I am thankful for the support and care that they have not only show to my god daughter but my family too.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.753) out of 10 for Fennies Kidbrooke, Whittle Road 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 Fennies Kidbrooke, Whittle Road is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 60 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 3.753 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fennies Kidbrooke, Whittle Road is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.253

  • 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.
