Overall Experience

Nursery staff are amazing, really helped settle my little boy into nursery well, making sure they knew all the little details to help him settle, going above and beyond ie making the whole process better.

My little boy has absolutely thrived since starting the nursery, the rooms always look exciting with lots of stimulating activities out for him to get involved in and has also really helped his confidence. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

I have two children who attend Wilmington Day Nursery and Preschool. My eldest is currently in nursery and my youngest is in Toddler 1. They have both been attending since September 2018 and I cannot tell you how happy we all are that we chose this nursery. The girls have both settled quickly and love attending. So much so that my eldest complains she can't go to nursery at weekends. My youngest can be quite shy but thanks to the team in Toddler 1. She really is starting to come out of her shell. Thanks for your hard work.

Overall Experience
We were delighted when our daughter secured a place at this nursery.
The staff are always so friendly and positive. Our daughter has settled in so well over the last 6 months and that is down to the amazing team.
The facilities are always clean and the children are always busy doing lots of different activities.

We cannot fault the services and would definitely recommend the nursery to friends.

Overall Experience

Really good opportunity to discuss how our child is doing at nursery, their development and the next goals. Although we get regular feedback on each time our child is at nursery, it was great to be able to hear more about his development and what he gets up to there.

Review from E C (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We had two personal recommendations for Wilmington Day Nursery and I'm very happy that we chose it as the nursery for our daughter who started there at 12 months old. The long settling in period suited her well, and she thrives in the nursery routine. We are most pleased with the staff in her room, whom our daughter likes a lot. She also sleeps and eats better at nursery than she does at home!

Overall Experience
I would highly recommend Asquith Wilmington Nursery to any parent. They really put me at ease with my first child who is now five and I'm still as happy now with my second, who is two.

The staff are all amazing and friendly and I feel at ease knowing my child is happy when I leave her.

Asquith Wilmington Day Nursery & Pre-School is a lovely nursery with staff members that really want to help as much as they can. Through our settling sessions they were understanding towards me and patient with my daughter who now waves goodbye to me at the classroom door.

Overall Experience

It's never easy leaving your children but Asquith made the whole process as stress-free as it could be. The staff are friendly and accommodating and I feel listened to, which I am grateful for. My son loves his nursery days and my daughter is starting in September. I know she will be in safe hands. I am grateful that I will have one less thing to worry about when I go back to work. Thank you, Asquith Nursery!

All the staff at Wilmington Day Nursery are always friendly and welcoming. My child enjoys going to nursery and talks about her keyworker and room staff in high spirits. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. My child learns something new every session, great encouragement by the staff for learning.

Overall Experience
The nursery is simply excellent. Both of my daughters attended over a period of six years and the care they have received has been exemplary. Both girls have come on so well in the care of the lovely staff at Wilmington.
As a parent, I couldn't have asked for better.

Thank you.

We have been extremely happy to be part of the Wilmington Day Nursery 'family'.
My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time here and has developed beyond our expectations.

We will be sad to say goodbye but thanks to the staff here, my daughter is more than ready for her next chapter.

Overall Experience
From the outset, the staff, environment, food, facilities and learning program have all been at a wonderful standard. My daughter enjoys her days here, has taken to the staff so much as to the other children and looks forward to her nursery days.
Her development moves on leaps and bounds whilst here, including language, play and eating.

I think she has a lifelong friend in the head chef! All in all, this is a wonderful nursery and a great place to prepare any child for school.
