My child loves it here. He always has a great day. All of the staff are super welcoming and friendly. I love how honest they are when he's misbehaved or needs further development in a certain area. So happy he's here!
My child really enjoys coming to nursery - she's always absorbed in play when we pick her up! She's really come on in her mobility and fine motor skills as well. All of the staff are very helpful, professional and friendly - very capable and happy to answer all our questions. We would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family.
Excellent nursery, no issues. The staff are perfect with my son and have helped him with his confidence.
Our daughter has been here since she was six months and we have absolute peace of mind while she is at the nursery. I like that she gets to develop the habit of eating different types of food and has a nurturing environment.
Our daughter has attended the nursery now for a year. She is happy attending the sessions and interacts joyfully with staff and other children. Detailed feedback on activities and development is provided by staff each day, including time/space for questions. The nursery works together with parents to create the best environment for the children, also offering a good range of indoor and outdoor activities.
I am so glad I have sent my daughter to this nursery. The staff are kind, lovely and have become part of my family. I really appreciate all the effort they put into looking after my child.
The Wantage nursery has been a part of our family for the last four years. (One child is now at school and one is still attending)and I could not rate them highly enough. The care they provide has been outstanding, with each child receiving great one-to-one time with their keyworker. Even though each child is very different in character, they have both flourished. I do believe this is due to the nursery having such a homely feel and the staff being so caring. The food has also been a huge hit! We will all miss the nursery next year, once our youngest moves up to school.
Our baby started nursery in September 2022 and so far, we are happy with how fast she has adapted and her development. She is happy to be left in the morning, which tells us that she likes to be in the nursery.
A wonderful nursery and preschool. My daughter settled so quickly from another country. She has developed so well socially and verbally with huge thanks to the staff. We recommend it to other parents.
My son has settled in fantastically, he loves coming in each morning and spending time with his new friends and key workers. The nursery displays and environment are colourful and reflect all of the lovely activities that take place. Daily feedback is informative and handovers are efficient. Overall, extremely happy with the care my son is receiving at Wantage Nursery. Thank you for all your hard work.
I am really happy with the care given to my daughter. She has settled in really well and enjoys coming to nursery.
Our son clearly loves coming to nursery. We really love when the staff tell us what he's been up to, they clearly enjoy their days. Very impressed with the variety of food and activities.
We've been very happy with my daughter's progress and social skills since she started nursery. She is a lot more confident and independent and happy to explore new areas on her own. The nursery has really helped with introducing solid food and self-feeding. The girls that work there are very kind and friendly and make sure that my daughter's got everything she needs.
My son loves coming into nursery every day and always comes home telling me about all the fun things he's done. He has a great relationship with his keyworker and all the other staff.
We have been really delighted with the nursery and all that they do. The staff are amazing and very caring. Both of our children enjoy coming to nursery and we are really pleased with it. We can't thank the staff enough for all they do. Thank you.
I honestly can't say anything but positive things. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds, achieving her milestones and saying full sentences. My daughter always looks forward to going to the nursery and always enjoys her time there. I would personally recommend this nursery. It's always a very welcoming environment. I can't thank them enough for the time my daughter has been there.
Our daughter transferred here and we couldn't be happier with the work done by the team to encourage her to socialise, progression of speech and her general development has been outstanding. We've gone from having a lockdown baby who was slightly behind, to a toddler that is thriving. The staff are caring and energetic, they are very reassuring and positive. The nursery provides fun and interesting activities and we are very impressed with the safeguard practices. We love Wantage Nursery and Preschool
Very warm and welcoming staff. Extremely easy to communicate with via phone, email or face to face. Very informative with each child and daily activities and events going on. All staff are loving and caring and always cater to children's individual needs. The nursery has fantastic facilities inside and out, so children will never get bored and have the best time. The nursery is a wonderful place to learn, play and thrive with all the staff caring for my child as I would care for her myself at home. Can't fault The Wantage Nursery and Pre-school.
We were very nervous about sending our daughter back to nursery after lockdown, but the nursery has been amazing and have alleviated all our concerns. It has been the best decision we could have made. She loves going to nursery and is always so excited to tell us all the great adventures she has had. She is well cared for and loved by all who works there. Her experience at the nursery adds greatly to her overall development.
They really supported us during lockdown, being a key worker they kept the nursery open with minimal children but the few that attended they offered peace of mind for the parents and normality and safety for the kids. I’m sure the other families that continued to send their children during this period would agree.
