My child loves attending this nursery! The staff are all so friendly and great with helping in areas such as potty training. They will also observe what strengths the children have within the nursery environment and help them to work on that. The open plan layout between toddlers and pre-schoolers has
definitely helped with the transition too. Overall my child is very happy here and I can see that the staff really care about the children.

Blue Orkids @ Wootton Community Nursery is an absolute gem! The staff are nurturing and attentive. The nursery is clean, safe and thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration and development. The daily activities are engaging and age-appropriate and our daughter runs in each morning with a smile on
her face. As a parent, I feel confident leaving her in their care knowing she is in loving hands.

Just wanted to say how grateful we are for the lovely team at Wootton!
Our youngest (8 months) has only been there for a short amount of time yet they have already done such a fantastic job of helping her to settle so well!
Our oldest has come on so much socially since being at the nursery and really
enjoys the activities that are set out (the food seems to always be a hit too!).

Blue Orkids @ Wootton Community Nursery is a fantastic nursery. Our daughter has been attending four days a week since she was 11 months old. Her bond with all the staff (including their wonderful chef) leaves us beaming. She skips into nursery with a smile on her face. It is a small, intimate nursery
that provides that home away from home feel, with staff who care for the children as if they were their own. Our daughter has multiple food allergies which have been dealt with and provided for with amazing professionalism and care. We know that they understand her needs and she eats well every day with homecooked meals provided onsite. A wonderful asset to have in the village.

Reply from Kayleigh Fletcher, Manager at Blue Orkids @ Wootton Community Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review. This means a lot to us here at Wootton. She is a pleasure to have and the way she just walks into the rooms is amazing. Thank you again.

Both my children have attended this nursery and my youngest daughter still attends the nursery. She absolutely loves going into nursery. Being able for her to attend the pre-school term time has been great as having an older child at school means we aren't paying for her to attend when she doesn't need
to. But it is great that we have the flexibility to book her in during the half terms if needed.
All staff are amazing and really show how much they care for the children. Both my daughters have loved going into nursery and have never not wanted to go in. We will be gutted to be leaving in the summer for my daughter to start school.

Reply from Kayleigh Fletcher, Manager at Blue Orkids @ Wootton Community Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review. Having families that have been with us for many years is a pleasure as we get to see all the children grow and it's lovely that they come back and visit us. Thank you.

My son loves attending Wootton Community Nursery, where he has created relationships with staff and other children. He enjoys all the activities on offer, in particular outside play. His key person is excellent. She uses his interest in his learning, which has allowed his development to come on leaps
and bonds. He comes out on a regular basis in messy clothes, which is a sign of a great day! The only area for improvement I can think of is the use of the app. It's such a good idea, but could be executed better. His key person is good at sharing his key moments, but would also be nice to have his naps and snacks on the app. I understand the lack of time!

My little girls love it at Wootton Nursery, and we do too. All year round, the staff are so supportive of both our needs and our little girls; they are always arranging fun activities and engaging with the children to teach them lots of new things. Highly recommend.

Our son has had a really good time at the Wootton Blue Orkids Nursery. He settled in quickly and has made lots of friends. The team are caring and full of energy. The building itself is spacious and well-organised and is being continuously improved and updated by the team for the benefit of the children.
The
food is great, says my little one, and he is kept busy with all sorts of activities, from themed days, water play, and outdoor adventure walks in the woods to playing in the garden.
He comes home singing songs and talking about activities and things he has made and done and is excited to go back the next day.
A fantastically welcoming and friendly place, and I wouldn’t hesitate to send another child there.

My daughter has been attending Wootton Community Nursery for almost a year now. She absolutely loves it and runs in every time. I can’t recommend them enough. From day one, they have made us feel very welcome, and my little girl settled into nursery so quickly with a smile at the end of most days, which
was absolutely down to the care, attention and focus on her. Every morning and evening you are greeted with smiling faces, and they really do seem to love their jobs. All of the staff were wonderful, caring and supportive. Any accounting questions I had, they always got right back to me - so easy to work with in all areas. We will really miss all of them!

Absolutely wonderful nursery, with an amazing team of people working there. My daughter had previously been at another nursery and really struggled, but since moving her to Wootton, the change in her has been unbelievable. No more tears in the morning - happily walks in on her own and tells me how happy
she has been at the end of the day. Being a lockdown baby, she can be incredibly shy, but the team have worked with her and really brought her out of her shell. I get regular updates and photos of her day via the app, which is always reassuring, and the handover at the end of the day is excellent. I honestly love this nursery and will be incredibly sad when my daughter leaves.

Very welcoming and friendly team. Lovely setting. The staff offer a friendly, caring approach to looking after my daughter and son. The daily activities help to develop their learning, as well as lots of free playtimes. I get regular updates via the app with activities they are doing, how well they
have eaten, and how long they have had naps.
Would definitely recommend it as a great nursery to use.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Blue Orkids @ Wootton Community Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.833 for Blue Orkids @ Wootton Community Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 Blue Orkids @ Wootton Community Nursery is based on 12 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 12 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.
