S4YC @ Wharton is based in the Wharton Children’s Centre, it is a 72-place nursery consisting of 3 rooms; babies, toddlers and pre-school.

The setting offers term-time and all year-round care with varied sessions to suit all, between the hours of 8am and 6pm.

The vast outdoor area is accessible whatever the weather, and since they love to explore the different seasons, wellies and all in one suits are a must!

The nursery promotes in the moment planning following the children’s lead and has a range of activities that are freely accessible to the children so they can extend their own learning as they play.

The enthusiastic and well-trained staff including a trained teacher in the preschool room. All the rooms reflect the children’s interests and are warm and welcoming. The nursery adopts an open-door policy so no need to book, feel free to go along and see the team in action.

Take a look at their recent Ofsted report.

My little boy has just started here, he has a few undiagnosed issues and the staff have treated him amazingly. He struggled settling in at first but now after a few weeks he goes in with a smile and when we pick him up he has an even bigger smile. All the staff are professional, friendly and welcoming.
I love the fact they have free flow from outside to inside and vice versa as my son loves being outside and would spend the day outside if he could. He has come on leaps and bounds in just a few short weeks and he is thriving and that is down to the care and love that he receives whilst being in nursery. It puts my mind at rest knowing that he is safe and secure.
Big shout out to four members of staff in particular.
Thank you S4YC @ Wharton.

Wharton S4YC team are great! With kids and giving feedback on the child's day in nursery, they have been fantastic at getting my child to open up more while she's at nursery and she comes home telling us how much she loves the activities she's been doing, I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone
looking, such a great team.

Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience to the children, and for keeping personal belongings in order (toys, clothes), helping with potty training, caring when they were not feeling well, making everyday a fun environment to go to which was also very important.
The manager and all the other lovely staff are part of our daughter’s life, as the second family. 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. S4YC @ Wharton Nursery is a special place for us and thank you for that.

This is a lovely nursery with dedicated, friendly, caring and hard-working staff. My little boy has been here since I returned back to work at 9 months, he’s now two years old and coming on leaps and bounds. They put his needs first, e.g. when it was time to move up rooms, they introduced him slowly
with visits and didn’t move him over until he was ready. His older sister loved it here and he does too. I can go to work reassured that he is safe, having a fabulous time with all the wonderful activities they do, whilst also growing and developing amazingly well, preparing him for his future ready for school. Thank you S4YC Wharton!

The staff were brilliant as my daughter was settling into nursery and really put me at ease. All the staff are really approachable and it's very reassuring to see my daughter is happy to see them all. All the staff work extremely hard my daughter is definitely thriving at the nursery! I love being able
to see a photo update on the app while I'm at work, it would be nice to have one every day but I appreciate how busy everyone is. I love hearing what my daughter has been up to when I pick her up.

My daughter absolutely loves her nursery and tells me all about her day on picking her up. The staff have taken their time to help with the separation anxiety that my daughter was struggling with and now is able to walk in from the door on her own without me having to go into the room with her. Not
only this but the staff are very welcoming with not only my child but myself as well and make the time for anything you need to discuss with them. You can see they put their all into their job and that the children are their number one priority. My daughter really has come on leaps and bounds and really is thriving. She is developing and growing so much in all places and that is from the help of the amazing staff she is around in the nursery setting too.

Since the changeover, the staff have been amazing and the new staff have been amazing too. Always greeted with a smile and a lovely hello good morning/afternoon. All members of staff are so involved with the kids, it’s amazing seeing teachers so involved in activities. My little girl loves it here,
can’t fault it. Highly recommend it if anyone is thinking of getting their little ones into nursery. Can’t thank the staff enough for what they do for my little girl, making her feel so welcome when she turns up.
Thanks again staff at Wharton

When looking for a nursery setting for my first child, I was initially quite nervous but the team from the baby room all the way up to toddlers have been incredible.
You can tell they truly care about what they do and the children. My child is thriving all thanks to the wonderful team that works here.

I can’t rate this nursery enough, my son has been coming here since he was 10 months old and he absolutely loves it, he’s progressed so much since being here, much more than I could have ever taught him.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for S4YC @ Wharton 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.956 for S4YC @ Wharton is calculated as follows: ( (286 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.956

  • 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 S4YC @ Wharton is based on 25 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 25 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.

Personally, I cherish spending time with my friends and family. I have a beautiful son that I am very proud of, I take pride in being a loving and supportive mother. I look forward to my future and to progressing in my career.

Hi, my name is Klara.
I have been at the nursery since February 2023 and currently working towards my Level 2 childcare qualification. I am working in all the rooms so I know all the children in our setting. I am mostly in the baby room and toddler room and I love seeing them develop their own personalities. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and going for walks with our dog.
