Wetherell Nursery
from Irina S (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery in a beautiful location, right in the park. Our boys absolutely love spending their time there, and we've been with this nursery for over a year now. Kids spend half of their time there at the outdoor playground. Very welcoming and caring staff. The management team is extremely professional

and willing to collaborate on any matter. Our children are safe, well fed, and looked after, surrounded by love and care, learning, developing, and having lots of fun. I would recommend this nursery to any parent without hesitation.

from A B (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I'm very pleased with the playhouse my son has been attending. The place looks really nice and clean. Amazing outside area, which my boy loves. I feel there should be more activities for all age groups to entertain and stimulate the children (which I know your in the process of doing now). The staff

are very polite and helpful. I'd like to see more pictures uploaded on the Famly. It's lovely to see what the kids are up to. These would be my only recommendation.

Wetherell Nursery
from Courtney O (Father of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our twin daughters have loved every moment of their time at Wetherell Nursery. The staff have been kind, patient and nurturing and this has allowed them to grow in confidence.

They've learnt so much at Wetherell, become increasingly confident and made so many lovely friends. The setting so close

to Victoria park is a bonus and I'd have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to anyone.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are so glad the girls settled into the nursery and have enjoyed their time with us, it is lovely to hear that we could be apart of their journey and we wish you…read more

Overall Experience

I would love to have more learning sessions or help kids with some learning challenges from the school tasks.
The rest of the facility is good, but I got the impression that learning with play sessions would be very beneficial to the pupils.

Reply from Tracy Cave, Pre-school Manager at Play House Pre-school & Out of School Club

Thank you for your feedback. Although we are not a school we do try and offer a variety of activities that support children's learning.

Overall Experience

Great kindergarten with a great yard, and friendly staff. My son and now my daughter went to this preschool. They both love it and we have great memories from that period.
The children always have activities planned for the whole week, and I already know what they will do and how to dress the child.

They have a lot of practical and fun activities.

Reply from Tracy Cave, Pre-school Manager at Play House Pre-school & Out of School Club

It's lovely to hear both children enjoyed being here. It was a pleasure having them and I hope they come back for our holiday clubs.

from Shantel C (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little girl was very nervous about starting preschool, she would cling on and would cry for me, all the workers there were fab with her and comforted her until she settled, also any concerns I ever had regarding my daughter they would listen and give the best possible advise she continued to go there

in September and her confidence since going to Playhouse has been absolutely amazing. I couldn't thank these guys enough! I would highly recommend Playhouse to anyone looking to put their children in preschool.

Reply from Tracy Cave, Pre-school Manager at Play House Pre-school & Out of School Club

This is such a lovely review. Thank you and I will be sure to share with the team. It is a pleasure having your little girl and watching her grow.

Wetherell Nursery
from Paul H (Father of Child) published on 2 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Wetherell first looked after our son and then, 3 years later, our daughter. They each gained confidence over the time they were there and also loved the outside space. The staff have been great, too. Not only with our children but also in helping us with the government funding that, without their help,

we would have certainly not received. Thank you!

Reply from Chelsea Rossiter, Admin Assistant at Wetherell Nursery

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It has been a pleasure having the children in the nursery and is great to know how much we have helped you all. Good luck with everything!

Review of
Hilltop Nursery
from A W (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A great little set-up and a fantastic nursery. The children have always had plenty of choice of things to make, do or play with and more is always available to ensure each child is included, the outdoor space is equally as good as the indoor space and the children are regularly encouraged to do activities

outdoors.
The staff are a real credit to the nursery and make it a comfortable and inviting place for the children, even those who are a little less willing! Each child is treated with kindness and respect, and so are the parents.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone!
