Wetherell Nursery

Overall this is a very nice nursery. The facilities are good with each age group having it's own indoor and outdoor space. Staff turnover is low and they don't use any agency staff unlike other nurseries. The staff do care a lot about the children and communicate well, giving an oral update at the end of the day and written observations via an app. Management are also responsive if there are any issues that need to be escalated. Food is decent and healthy (e.g. no sweet desserts only fruit or yoghurt). Staff in the two older rooms give good support on potty training. The kids are kept busy, but unlike some posher nurseries they don't do any fancy activities like yoga. Safeguarding is very strong they query any accidents at home, and report accidents at nursery. Although the kids spend a lot of time in the garden, especially in summer, they only rarely go for walks outside the nursery itself which is a bit of a shame given the location right next to the park.

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.

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.

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!

We were initially attracted to Wetherell due to its position next to Victoria Park rather than a busy road in East London. Our child has now been at the nursery for 18 months + and we have been very impressed by the staff, who have been generally consistent and show interest in the children and their families and seem to have endless energy to engage with the children. The venue, like some other nurseries, is pretty dated but it has all the facilities needed and a lovely, large outdoor play area immediately by the park. Occasionally staff even take children on trips around the park! The fee is reasonable compared to other nurseries we have seen and it stays open most of the year, which is great as we both work. We are very happy to have our child at Wetherell and, given she often does not like to leave at the end of the day, it is safe to say she is also happy there.
