Our daughter has been at Fennies Walton for just under a year, and we couldn't be happier. The staff are brilliant! Having moved from a different nursery, they made the transition smooth and easy. Our daughter is happy, thriving, and developing so well. Evelyn and her team are amazing. I really love the food menu - it's nutritious and well-balanced. Our daughter seems to enjoy it too, as she barely eats dinner when she gets home! The garden is fantastic, fully equipped with everything children need to play and explore. I also appreciate the daily updates on the activities the children have done, along with plenty of pictures. A happy child means happy parents - highly recommend!

My little one has been attending Fennies for seven months, starting when he was 12 months old. He loves the staff and gives them big cuddles whenever he arrives and says bye-bye and waves with a big smile every day when he leaves. The staff are warm, loving and professional and make every child (and even siblings) feel special. They are creative in coming up with messy play activities and the rooms are set out with toys that are educational and developmentally appropriate, while the spaces themselves are full of natural colours (wood) and soft textures, with cosy corners. There is singing and dancing and book reading. The food is nourishing. The outdoor space cannot be beat. The garden is designed with little ones in mind and they love to spend time outside. I'd recommend Fennies to anyone as we've had a very positive experience.

We moved our son to Fennies in November 2023 from a childminder setting where he was struggling, and he has thrived at Fennies since the start. He has been able to explore his interests, build friendships with other children, as well as build his confidence. The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing, each morning we're greeted with enthusiasm and such positive energy, it has had a big impact on my sons confidence and love of the setting.
24 March 2025
We've had a great experience so far at Fennies - our daughter joined just before two year old from another nursery as we had to move area and she settled in so quickly - not a single day where she cried or didn't want to go in. She has developed so much since being at Fennies and has really grown attached to her carer. The environment is nice and big and airy and the garden is also large with lots of different activities. We are very happy!
14 March 2025
Our daughter joined Fennies in March 2024 and we couldn't be happier. She has adjusted very well from day one and her development has been incredible in the last year. The staff is very friendly and very caring and our daughter has bonded very well with all of them. She's very happy to go to nursery every morning runs to the staff without saying goodbye to us! The rooms and garden are very spacious and well maintained. Throughout the day the children are involved in a wide range of activities that help them develop a lot of skills. We are very happy to have chosen Fennies and would highly recommend them to anyone.

My little one has been with Fennies Walton since she was 11 months. It's been over a year since she joined, and she has settled so well. She's very comfortable with her key workers, even after going up a level. The staff at Walton has contributed a lot to her growth, on top of making sure that she is comfortable and safe. The kitchen has also done an incredible job in making her try new foods we haven't done so at home. Thank you for everything you've done! She has come a long way and really loves it there.

Every morning our 18-month old tries to find her shoes and Fennies bag as she cannot wait to go to nursery! The staff are all absolutely incredible: the baby room staff in particular are so kind, caring and fun - letting my daughter explore through stimulating activities but also being there for a cuddle when needed and the kitchen staff do an amazing job making delicious and nutritious food which was especially appreciated at the start when my daughter was dealing with a handful of allergies/intolerance's. The Nursery Practitioner and the wider team do such a fantastic job - I couldn't recommend them more!
17 February 2025
Excellent, modern and clean baby room with lots of things to play with, various organised activities and access to the garden. The staff are friendly and dedicated, and our one year old has an excellent time there.

We are so happy with Fennies-Walton! Our son absolutely loves going every morning and has the biggest smile when we pick him up. His key worker and all staff in Discoverers are fantastic: really attentive to all needs, supportive, communicative and cheery. They encourage fun and learning in a perfect combination. We especially love the app, which is updated daily with all activities done and pics, as well as posts specific to my child and progress in his development milestones. The facilities are great and we love the amount of time spent outdoors in the big garden! We are so happy we chose to send our son there!

I have two boys at Fennies Walton on Thames, and I can't recommend it highly enough! After an awful experience at another nursery finding Fennies was a relief. The staff are wonderful, and genuinely dedicated to the children's well-being, with special praise to the team who go above and beyond. Their warmth has truly impacted my children's happiness. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-maintained. The outdoor area is great, with plenty of space for children to explore and play. The balanced mix of structured and play-based learning keeps my boys engaged. They're always discovering something new, thanks to high-quality resources, from educational toys to updated ICT tools. The food is nutritious and balanced, giving them energy for a full day. Management is approachable and proactive, with safeguarding a clear priority. Fennies has been a breath of fresh air- don't think twice about sending your children here!

Our children were previously looked after at another setting, which we were very happy with. We had to move nursery due to our oldest starting school and the need to find a nursery/ preschool closer to the school and home for our younger 2. I looked at many nurseries in the area and from the moment I walked into Fennies I knew it was the one. As all parents know, starting at any new nursery is daunting and all we want is for our children to be safe and to thrive. 3 months in, both our children are super happy, and thriving and I am so confident that they are being perfectly cared for. The staff are exceptional and both the manager and deputy are wonderful- both accommodating and what I love the most is that they spend time in the rooms with the children. The activities they get up to are structured and are both educational and fun. There is a great outdoor area with loads of variety which is used daily. We get constant updates on their app which is great too! I couldn't recommend more.

We are new to Fennies Walton having recently moved to the area. Our main concern with moving was our son leaving the nursery he loved in London. We couldn't have been more wrong! I can't praise the Fennies Walton team enough for the settling in period - our son settled in super fast, is really happy and even told us he wants to stay here and never go back! The outdoor space here is also a game-changer and such a unique feature with the size and variety of activities.
22 November 2024
Our daughter joined here earlier this year and transitioned very well from a previous nursery. We are so happy with how the nursery is run by the Manager and all of the amazing staff from room leads, supporting staff and kitchen staff. They all literally treat the kids like their friends or own and our baby boy now has joined here. The staff are creative in thinking of different ways to educate the children. The use of outdoor space was key for us and the kids love this space. And it's a great community for parents too. Thanks to all the staff for all that you do for our children, you make it easier at drop off each time knowing the kids love coming there!

My son has been at Fennies since January of this year, and within these last 9 months, I have noticed a dramatic increase in proficiency in his writing, drawing, social behaviour and being able to share. My son has made a lot of friends at Fennies and enjoys it there so much that I struggle to get him to leave each day. The staff in Inventors are fantastic. They are always happy and with a positive attitude. They are really interactive with the children and encourage them to progress in their strengths but also to feel comfortable with their weaknesses. I will be sad to take him out next year.

Since our son has joined Fennies-Walton he has developed well. Good and fun educational activities are being done during the day with the little ones to keep them stimulated. The staff are friendly, caring, understanding and very patient. The setting is really amazing and the outdoor play area is fantastic and can see that the kids all love it so much. Our little one likes going there in the morning and he is happy in the afternoons when we pick him up, which shows that he likes being there. The app is also very useful and keeps us as parents up to date on what is happening during the day, when our little one is sleeping and what he has eaten during the day. The facility is kept in a good and clean state and as parents, we know that is a hard thing to keep up with so well done to the team who keeps it so neat and tidy.

My daughter started at Fennies in Walton in Feb2024 and she is so happy there and of course she would be - her care worker is brilliant and all the staff are great, pleasant, supportive, cheery and attentive. The development and observations are fantastic and we are so content and super pleased with everything they do for her. We'd be lost without you Fennies - brilliant team!

My experience as a parent with a child attending Fennies-Walton has been fantastic. All staff have been friendly, helpful, caring, and nurturing and have shown a real desire to help children grow and prosper in the setting. The setting itself is fantastically well-kept, especially given the difficulties that providing stimulating space and activities for our little ones must provide. The outdoor space is an especially amazing aspect of the facilities Fennies-Walton offers. The children are given fantastic, enriching, educational activities and the communication from the team and use of the Famly app gives us as parents a great opportunity to observe the fun and growth that takes place during our child's sessions.
25 July 2024
We are so delighted with the Fennies in Walton! Having recently moved house, both our boys (3.5 and 1.5 years) started in May 2024 and they have settled very quickly. The staff are all so fantastic and have gone out of their way to help them settle, including facilitating them seeing each other during the day when possible. The facilities are amazing, especially the large garden which is the best I've ever seen at a nursery. There is a very calm and happy vibe throughout the nursery and we're so happy we chose to send our kids here!

I especially praise their communication and awareness of parental needs. Thank you to everyone. Thank you again for making it a little easier going to work each day knowing my daughter is in good hands!

The place where your child will flourish! We couldn't be happier with the choice we made when deciding on a nursery for our first son. We came from abroad, and our son, while feeling comfortable in a nursery abroad, was really upset, non-confident, no communication skills, when we placed him in Fennies nursery. His key worker was the one to support me and she said to give him some time and use all the settling-in sessions. So, we kept going and indeed by his last settling-in session, he felt very comfortable and wanted to go to the nursery every day. Since then, his confidence level and communication skills are improving every single day. The staff there are absolutely amazing - all of them (sorry can't list all names here) are brilliant! Our child couldn't stop smiling and we are so relaxed and happy when he is in the nursery. We know he is in the best hands and he will continue to flourish. Thank you so much Fennies.
