The Wantage Nursery & Preschool

My daughter started this nursery at age 3 after previously being at another nursery and stayed there for a year until she was due to start school. The environment isn't as new as some of the other nurseries but actually this gave it a more homely feel and my daughter really thrived at The Wantage Preschool Nursery. She really enjoyed coming in every day which was a big relief and I quickly trusted the staff. She grew in confidence and really came out of her shell. She settled quickly and this was due to the staff's warm and positive approach to the children. The staff all knew the children well, even those in different classes, and seemed to make a real effort to build relationships with them. I really liked the focus on outdoor play, and a bonus was that my daughter seemed to eat a much wider variety of food there than she did at home. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter attended the nursery for just over 2 years and it was amazing to see how much she learnt and developed over that time. She always came home singing songs of the day, or talking about the books and fun activities they had done. The staff all showed great care. We were kept well informed of her progress and goals throughout. The weekly food menu had a great variety. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend this lovely family feel nursery to all prospective parents.

We are very happy with Wantage Nursery and preschool. They always put the children and the families first and all the staff are lovely and caring. My son is very happy there and we have seen a significant improvement in his development since he started. They have a wonderful outdoor area which my son loves and a great menu. We would highly recommend and would gladly use them again for any future children.

We love the nursery!

Always amazing communication always happy with the treatment and care.

My son joined the nursery at 5 months and is now almost 1 and loves coming to nursery. He is always so happy when I drop him off and his development has come along so much since joining. Handovers are always detailed and personal and I can't thank the girls enough for all that they do.

We love the nursery so much! Cannot fault. Baby eats well, sleeps well, loves the staff. Very happy we got a place here. We feel that she is safe + cared for when she is here. Thank you!

My son is having the best time at nursery and this is down to all the staff. By doing lots of play and creative tasks, I can see the fun my son is having and his development is growing.

Our daughter has been in Poppets for a couple of months and we couldn't be happier. Our daughter is loving it here. You can tell that she really likes all of her carers and has fun.

We have been very happy with the nursery. Our son is looked after and has thrived. The staff are so lovely and caring.

All the staff are lovely and the nursery feels like a second family for us. They are great with my son and I would definitely say it's worth all the money.

The staff at Wantage Nursery are amazing. They are dedicated to the well-being of the kids. I have sent both of my children to The Wantage Nursery and they have both loved the experience.

Our daughter has really enjoyed attending this nursery and we have been able to see her really flourish and grow during her time there. All the team are really attentive and caring and develop really strong connections with the little ones. Really highly recommended - we are really pleased we chose to send out little one to this nursery.

Always have a happy child. Feel confident leaving my child here. Well fed.

The Wantage Nursery & Preschool have good communication and my child is very happy here. I can see what he gets up to each day in his diary and the staff also give a good handover at pick up. My child has clearly developed since being here.

The Wantage Nursery and Preschool staff are wonderful. From the very first settling-in sessions, they have been great. They were able to put my mind at ease when we first started and are always able to offer advice and guidance. I really value their suggestions of things we can try at home, all the lovely feedback about how our son’s getting on and what exciting activities they’ve been up to. I am so glad that we made the decision to go here, honestly couldn’t have wished for a better setting.

Our experience with Wantage Preschool has been nothing but great. Friendly faces and our son is always happy to arrive from the start they have always been keen to understand his personality and cater to his needs - very reassuring as a parent.

My son has been in The Wantage Nursery & Preschool for part of 2 years now and I couldn't be more happy and thankful that I made the decision to choose this preschool. Over these years he developed a very remarkable bond with the teachers, staff and his peers. He is always excited to go to preschool. My son struggled with delay in his development and being non verbal. As he is unable to tell me about his day, everyday teachers are giving me updates with my sons development, learning and activities with the daily journal. I'm looking forward to making more memories with this preschool until my son is ready for the big kid school! I recommend from all my heart!

Everyone at the nursery are very friendly and I feel very happy to leave my child with them. He has learnt a lot since coming here.

Our first child joined the nursery in November 2022 so 1 year exactly. I was a bit worried at the beginning but over the time I could see how well the team is looking after my daughter. The manager and all the carers were equally nice, caring and they always seemed to know everything about my daughter and about her day. She absolutely loves being in there, she walks to the door now and waves goodbye to us with a huge smile. I feel confident leaving her there under the team supervision. She has the best sleeps and eats well in the nursery.
