Overall Experience

A lovely Christmas Party with lots of different activities for all the children. All staff are very engaged with the children and clearly, have really good relationships with them. The boys were very happy to go off and leave me to join in with the activities, which was a pleasure to see. Really lovely to be part of the day! Thank you.

Overall Experience

I have two children at Wavendon. We had a few teething issues when my daughter first started, but now I wouldn't want to send them anywhere else. Both my children love it here - they adore their key workers. As a parent, I think the environment and the garden are great, the staff are friendly and the food varied and tasty.

Review from Heather J (Aunt of Child) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been to collect my niece on a number of occasions and I have always been impressed with the nursery. It is a well run, welcoming and nurturing environment that has enabled my niece to thrive.

All staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they know my niece well and use that knowledge to plan activities for her. The management team are always polite and have dealt with any worries quickly and effectively. My niece always talks about nursery and is always excited to tell me what she has done. She was particularity excited about the activities that were on offer during Halloween. Especially the activity that involved them making a chocolate apple. I can't praise this nursery enough and would recommend it to anyone.

Review from Lee K (Father of Child) published on 3 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child is very happy within this nursery, and always has a full day of things she has done to tell me about every day. It's a very welcoming nursery and the staff always look bright and bubbly and always happy to help with any questions or enquiries I may have. The change of activities and continuous change of the garden activities, materials and play equipment show passion and putting the children first which is fantastic to see.

Overall Experience

The nursery went the extra mile to make Halloween fun for the children. The nursery used the opportunity to raise money for a local charity. My daughter loved the chocolate apple that was made. The week before, I attended a parents evening and it was amazing to look at my child's work and to talk to her keyworker who clearly knows my child well. Thanks to the great efforts of the staff, my child is happy and developing well.

We love Asquith Wavendon for the outdoor space and lovely staff. Both of our boys have been there with our eldest recently starting school and transitioned smoothly.

I love that the boys can be boys and enjoy learning through play.

All the staff at Wavenden have provided excellent care for my son since he started. It has been wonderful to watch him form close relationships with staff, especially his new key worker. She clearly knows him very well and it is fantastic to see him develop and flourish under her care. It is so reassuring to see him so happy and safe at nursery.

Overall Experience

Very happy with my daughter's development at nursery. She always looks forward to her time at nursery and talking about her friend there and the staff.

She never has any trouble or gets upset when we drop her off in the morning and is happy for us to leave her which is very encouraging and comforting to know. It makes us confident that she enjoys her time there. Overall, very pleased.

Review from S L (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at nursery for 6 weeks now and has settled in very quickly. All the staff members are very friendly and welcoming, making it easy for children to build strong relationships with them and enjoy their time at nursery. It's a very happy environment - lots of singing, playing, outdoor time in the fantastic garden, painting, baking, monthly 'interest' topics (e.g. travel, weather etc). Communication with home is very good, and the learning log kept for each child is great to track their progress. We've been really pleased with the quality of meals provided and how children are encouraged to be independent in feeding themselves.

Photos are occasionally sent home of your child enjoying an activity or having a birthday cake presented to them on their special day. This was unexpected and really lovely to see!

Overall, we are delighted with how easy the transition to nursery has been and are really pleased with our choice. Our daughter is having a fantastic time!

Very friendly and welcoming staff. My daughter is settled and is always happy to go into nursery.

Keep up the good work.
