Simply an incredible nursery where the level of care the children receive is absolutely top notch. Our little one is very very happy and it's clear he enjoys his time there, where he has developed strong bonds it seems with both adults and other children. The nursery is a safe environment where it's evident the children can thrive and learn. Well done to all involved, we are very grateful as a family for everything.

I can't recommend this nursery enough! The staff are absolutely amazing, caring, attentive and always engaging with the children. My son has been to three other daycares in Winchester and this one stands out as the best by far. I can see the effort they put into activities, ensuring the kids are not only well cared for but also learning and having fun. It's such a relief to know my child is in a safe and nurturing environment. Highly recommend!

Staff are all very friendly and keep you updated with how your child is getting on and settling in. Good facilities both indoors and outdoors. The nursery is always very tidy and clean. Staff are always very attentive to the children with learning and development.

Rotherley Day Nursery is brilliant. We moved to Winchester last September from London and our daughter has settled in so well. She loves it and has made so many great friends. All the staff are so kind and friendly and really do care. The garden is very big with lots to do and play with. They also are very busy every day making things and taking part in fun events of the seasons. The Christmas Carols at the end of the year were really special, all parents got to attend. I would highly recommend Rotherley Day Nursery and it is in a great location if you have siblings at the local primary schools. We love it.

The staff create a calm and loving environment. Children are engaged with fun activities everyday. Management is also great: attentive and approachable. Our daughter loves this nursery. We love this nursery!

After a difficult experience in previous childcare settings, we have been able to truly appreciate how nurturing and wonderful Rotherly Day Nursery is. Our son is so happy there and we are so grateful to the team for their noticing and meeting his needs at a very individual level. He talks so positively of his time at preschool and has made leaps and bounds in his progress.

A wonderful setting, supported by staff who are passionate about the children attending. The daily activities set up are reflective of the children's interests and imaginative play. Each class has their own outdoor area and they get to mix classes and experience different social activities. All the staff at Rotherly Day Nursery are amazing and share daily learning and achievements with us at pick up time. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and supportive and made us feel welcome from Day one! The Famly app is great and we can see what our Grandchildren have had to eat, how long they have slept and any incidents/accidents recorded. We are very happy with this Nursery and thank them all for their support in helping our little ones on their journey!

Rotherly Day Nursery is truly welcoming, nurturing, playful and educational space where children can thrive and their individual needs are recognised and met by the very friendly staff. We have been lucky to have both of our children being able to attend Rotherly Day Nursery and had experience with staff in each of the year groups and have been very pleased with every single staff and key worker. The staff care about children's wellbeing and are helping to nurture their interests and explore their horizons through a variety of activities. The leadership is strong and continues to bring innovative ideas to get children and their parents involved in new activities, and contributing to the community. We have transferred to Rotherly Day Nursery from a different nursery and have not looked back! Big thank you the whole team for all your efforts, helping us look after our little ones and creating such caring and playful environment for them! You're the true Rotherly stars!

This nursery is absolutely outstanding! I can't fault this nursery one bit, I'm so reassured at leaving my daughter to be looked after by the most nurturing, passionate and dedicated members of the team. Everyone at the nursery is incredible but a huge shout out to one member of staff in caterpillars, a member of staff in rainbows room and a massive shoutout to the nursery manager, who without a doubt has turned this nursery around, from being great to now outstanding! She has got to know the children, interacting with and learning them all and welcoming to all parents, the children aren't a number to her, and that's what makes this nursery a community. I'm so proud my children have been apart of this nursery and couldn't rate it higher! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for looking after our girls so beautifully!

Both my daughters attend Rotherly Day Nursery. I cannot fault it, they love their time there. We feel very lucky that our children are able to attend such a fantastic nursery. The facilities are brilliant, especially the outdoor space. Even the baby room has an enormous garden. The children do lots of wonderful activities and the staff are kind and helpful.

My son was at Rotherly for over three years. We were very happy with the care he received. He loved every day there. Staff are caring, approachable and supportive. My son's confidence grew throughout his time there and I couldn't recommend it more.

We are very happy with the nursery, especially with the team taking care of the kids. They are loving and caring and my daughter is really happy to spend her days there. They are always happy to share the highlights of the day and discuss the child’s progress. There’s more attention to cleaning, I love that staff and kids wear slippers in the nursery. Furthermore, we never lost or damaged any clothes there! Very happy overall.

My 3, almost 4-year-old daughter has attended Rotherly, full time, from the age of 10 months and absolutely loves it, as do I. As a parent, I get regular updates on what the children are up to, via an app, and the activities are always engaging and fun, often led by the interests of the kids. There is a good sense of community and the staff are all very friendly and approachable. Having had a son at another nursery where staff seemed to change each week I am very relieved by the consistency of the staff at Rotherly. My daughter is also ahead of my son at the same age in areas like writing and numeracy as Rotherly engage children in these subjects. The outdoor space is lovely and well utilised and I liked that, as a baby, my daughter got to nap outdoors. I feel happy dropping my daughter off each day knowing she is in safe hands and that she will be happy when I pick her up at the end of the day.

Nothing but love for the Rotherly, The Westgate's Day Nursery. My eldest is graduating this week, having been there about 3 years, and the youngest 2 still attend. The Rotherly team know each of my children and their personalities, how to manage them/engage with them, and how to get the best out of each of them. The managers and team have been hugely accommodating eg. Weekly updates on my son’s progress (balance issues), reporting back to his doctor, and enabling a physio during opening hours to visit to help. The boys talk about their key workers daily when they are not there, and often complain at pick up as they don’t want to come home!

My son's been at Rotherly, The Westgate's Day Nursery for almost three years now. He loves it there and asks to go on weekends too! Staff are fantastic and genuinely love the children. He is looked after so well and is so happy there that it makes it much easier to go to work after drop-off. My eldest went to Rotherly from January 2019 to September 2021 and had a similar, super-happy experience.

I can not speak highly enough about Rotherly Nursery. My little girl has been going there for five months now, and she absolutely loves it. Happy to go in every morning and in such a good mood when we pick her up. The staff are absolutely lovely, and the nursery itself is purposely built and always clean. There is no better indicator of a good nursery than a happy child!

Our first experience of Rotherly was two years ago when we moved our daughter there after she struggled in a larger, busier nursery. After just a couple of weeks it was like having a different (and much happier!) child. Staff are incredibly kind, caring and committed. They follow children’s interests and create a very warm and nurturing environment, whilst at the same time building children’s independence so they start school with confidence. Our youngest is now there and we feel very lucky to be part of such a lovely Rotherly family.

An outstanding nursery for children. It’s incredible watching my young nephews thrive in such a welcoming and safe environment. It is just like a second home for them. The staff are just incredible, friendly and professional and seem to really know their stuff. Seeing the children come home with such big smiles is just priceless. An absolute wonderful setting, I couldn’t ask for more for my nephews!

We were both shocked, and surprised, to read the recent Rotherly Nursery report. It certainly does not reflect our experiences and understanding of the environment we attend to collect our grandchildren. Rotherly Nursery is a warm, friendly and caring environment, where staff have used their patience and skills to positively encourage the development and confidence of our three grandsons. There are many and varied daily activities and opportunities, which are geared to provide for the children's needs and abilities, offering plenty of room for growth, development and experimentation. Rotherly staff work hard continuously to provided a safe, secure and comfortable experience for all the children in their care. I would not hesitate in recommending Rotherly Nursery to anyone thinking of sending their children there.

My son has just finished a year-plus time in the Rainbow room and has had a fun-packed, enjoyable time, developing his early learning communication skills with the caring, lovely and attentive staff, whether it is in the secure, spacious garden, outdoor space or inside the spacious, vibrant playroom. I can tell my son has thoroughly enjoyed the beginning stage of his early learning due to his happy facial expressions while I watch him in the nursery prior to collecting him to go home and him saying staff member names while at home which is lovely to hear. My wife and I have loved all the regular app photos and comments on activities, whether onsite or during an outing to the local woods, along with bringing his hand-painting or crayon drawing artwork home. My son has now just moved up to the next Rotherly Day Nursery group stage into the Caterpillar room. As parents, we couldn't be happier so a massive thank you to Rotherly Nursery and all the staff there who do an excellent job.
