Beautiful surroundings, lovely staff who take great care of the kids. They took our child from age one, and the transition has been really smooth and lovely to watch. They do a wide range of activities and constantly keep you up to date on the app. My son genuinely loves being there, and I highly recommend
this nursery.

I can't speak highly enough of Wise Owls!
My son is 3 and has been attending the nursery for just over a year and is so happy. He's learned so much and has become a confident little boy since joining. The staff are so lovely, always making me feel sure that he's safe, loved and cared for. He chatters
about his friends and the staff all the time!
The nursery has a home from home feel and staff rotation is extremely low, so we all know who to expect and how to feel every day. A super warm, stable environment that is so important for little ones at this stage of life.
The kids do so many fun activities including walks in the nature, meeting horses, hatching chicks, visiting the grocery store, yoga, dance parties and meeting firemen. Always an exciting story on the way home to share with mom.
We love & are so grateful for Wise Owls & all the staff.
Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing & Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - MaidenheadThank you so much for such a lovely review. We're so happy to hear how settled, confident, and happy your son is, and it's wonderful to know how much he enjoys chatting about his friends and the team when at home. Creating a warm, secure "home from home" environment is so important to us, so your kind words about our consistency and stability truly mean a lot. We love giving the children exciting experiences to talk about - from nature walks to special visitors - and it's lovely to hear these moments are making their way into discussions on the way home. Thank you again for being part of our Wise Owls family; we're so grateful for your trust and support.

We love wise owls! The communication between us and them is great, the progress of our child is detailed monthly, we get regular updates on what shes been doing daily and our daughter gets excited to go in the mornings she likes it that much! Couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. You can genuinely
see how much they care and love the children too.

My wife and I are extremely pleased with every element of Wise Owls at Foxley Day Nursery. From the pre visit last year to now, our experience has only been positive. All of the staff are incredible, providing us with such a lovely experience at both drop off and pick up. We have full confidence that
Caolán is incredibly well looked after for the 2 days that he attends. The space inside caters so well for all of the kids and the outside space is such a great thing to have - especially as the weather improves! We could not be happier in choosing Foxley Day Nursery and would recommend to anyone
Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing & Communications at Wise Owls at Foxley Day NurseryThank you so very much for you lovely review. We are so pleased you have enjoyed a positive experience from the start of your booking to now and that your child is receiving the care, nurture and education he needs. As you say, with the brighter weather on its way all the children will get to enjoy the full benefit of the vast outdoor spaces we have at Foxley.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery! My daughter loves going, all the staff are so lovely and she is really getting the support and care that she needs. She has a milk allergy and they have always been excellent at managing her food/ drinks.
The app they use is great and always keeps us up to
date with her activities. The staff communicate really well with updates and pictures.

From the very beginning, the entire team has created such a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment that truly feels like a second home for her.
The teachers are absolutely wonderful - caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and wellbeing. It's clear how much thought and
effort goes into the programs and daily activities. They strike the perfect balance between learning and play, helping the children build confidence, curiosity, and social skills in a natural and engaging way.
Our daughter's communication skills, independence, and enthusiasm for learning have grown tremendously. Most importantly, she absolutely loves going to nursery every day and has built beautiful relationships with all of her teachers. Seeing how excited she is each morning says everything.
We feel incredibly grateful to have found such a fantastic nursery and and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.
Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - MaidenheadThank you so much for your beautiful words, they truly mean the world to our whole team.

It is something we hear frequently from parents and staff, so I'm glad to hear we continue to provide that experience. We're very grateful for your continued trust and support.

Foxley is a wonderful nursery and our son absolutely loves going there, having started at age 1 and about to enter pre school. We feel the team truly nurture him and care about him and we can see he feels very safe and happy there. The variety of activities he does and all the different ways of learning
are brilliant to see, and staff keep us updated on all developments and progress which is super helpful. We particularly love the garden area and how the children are out there so often. Thank you for making nursery such a positive part of our little boy's life!

Absolutely brilliant tour provided by Angela. Loads of detail, patience, and an abundance of passion. Clearly well known and liked, by the children who are saying hi to her by name. All the staff were super friendly and took time to talk to us during the tour but never took their eyes off of the kids,
who all looked happy and engaged. Rooms were neat and full of activities for the kids, many of whom came to say hi or just waved from a distance which we believe says a lot about the way the kids are encouraged, and allowed to thrive. We have nothing but praise for Wise Owls. Thanks for the great tour.
Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls - Farm View Day NurseryAhh, thank you so much for this lovely review, it really made our day! Angela will be absolutely chuffed to hear your kind words. She's a very gentle, kind and caring manager. We're so glad you felt the friendly vibe from the whole team and saw how focused they are on the children. Safeguarding if our number one priority so focused supervision is something we expect at all times. It's also really wonderful that the children felt comfortable enough to wave, say hi, or wander over, it really says a lot about how confident and happy they are at Farm View. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We'd love to welcome you into the Wise Owls family!

We love our children's nursery. The variety of crafts and activities is wonderful and really supports creativity and learning. The range of food provided is good, with plenty of variety and balance, which we really appreciate. Most of all, the sense of community makes it so special - the children have
formed lovely friendships, and the staff are all kind, caring, and invested in each child's happiness and development. It's a nurturing, fun, and welcoming environment, and we feel very lucky to be part of it.
As the children get older, I hope they can spend more time in the nature reserve.
Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - MaidenheadThank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review. It's wonderful to hear how much your children enjoy the variety of activities - our team put a lot of care into offering experiences that spark creativity and support learning. We're also delighted that the menus and mealtimes are a hit; providing balanced, nutritious food is something we're really passionate about. Hearing that you feel a strong sense of community is especially heart-warming. The friendships the children form and the relationships they build with our staff are at the core of what makes the nursery feel like a home-from-home, and we're so glad that comes across. Thank you as well for your note about the nature reserve. We love using it as much as possible, and as the children grow in confidence and independence, we absolutely aim to spend even more time exploring and learning outdoors.

Very happy with Wise Owls nursery setting, child development support and wonderful staff. My son is thriving and hitting all his development milestones and the staff play a big part in that.
The app is great and a good way to feel connected whilst not together.
The doorbell is annoying and pick
up can be a slow process but all in all, very happy! Thank you.
Reply from Ally Holloway, Head of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Wise Owls Day Nursery - MaidenheadThank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted that you can see you son thriving, so can we! We're also really glad you're enjoying the app and feeling connected throughout the day. Pick-up can sometimes take a little while, as we encourage children to develop independence by gathering their own belongings at the end of the day, with the helpful support of their key worker. We also know how important that handover is for parents, so while we try to keep these brief, this can sometimes take longer than expected if parents have questions. Thank you for your ongoing patience - we truly appreciate it.

We were warmly welcomed by Angela the Manager, she introduced us to all staff as we visited each room. All rooms from baby to pre school were shown and in each room it was explained about ratios and activities that are introduced to the children. Great care for an at ease atmosphere has been created
by the team.
We spent 30 minutes being shown around and both my partner and I absolutely loved what we had been shown today and would like to make application for our child

Our daughter has been at Wise Owls for 6 months now and it has been fantastic from day 1. She waves us off with a smile every day. The staff are always very knowledgable about her, and very flexible to fit around her needs. The outdoor space is amazing and she loves all the playing outside. Would definitely
recommend to other parents!

We are so pleased we found Wise Owls for our daughter. She absolutely loves her time at nursery and knowing how happy she is there made the transition of going back to work so much easier.
Every member of staff is so friendly and clearly cares about the children they are caring for. What really stands
out to us is that because it is a fairly small nursery compared to some others in the area, all of the staff know all of the children's names, and it really feels like a lovely environment for our daughter.
She has developed a lot since being at nursery, both in terms of her own development (speech, movement etc) and also her social development - which is all so lovely to see.
We would highly recommend Wise Owls to anyone looking for a nursery with a close knit environment.

Our daughter moved over to Farm View from another nearby Nursery after we had some issues there. Moving her to Farm View was the best decision we ever made. Her social + educational skills drastically improved within weeks. Their pre-school has set her up brilliantly when starting school in the 25/26
academic year. Couldn't be happier.

My son just started at Farm View Wise Owls a month ago, and has settled in so so well. I can only put that down to the fact that the staff are so caring and kind and genuinely love the kids.
Having attended Farm View myself as a child, I knew this was one I wanted to view when I found out I was pregnant.
My husband and I loved it so much, we secured a place when I was just 17 weeks along. It was so lovely to see that the nursery has retained its close-knit, homely, family feel from what I experienced 25 years ago.
In just one month since starting, I can already see massive improvements in my son's development. He is now showing an interest in standing unaided and walking with his walker or our hands, where before, he had zero. He is also much more interactive with us and other children and interested in playing with toys. It's so lovely to see his character really coming out now and I know he will flourish at Farm View!

Our son had a wonderful time at Wise Owls Sherlock Row from age 1 to 4.
The setting of the nursery is lovely in a quiet rural spot, and the staff were great throughout his whole stay. Special shout to Maddie, his core worker in pre-school, who was fantastic in helping him prepare for starting school.
He still talks fondly of his time at Wise Owls and I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to other parents.
