Review from Courteney E (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Excellent nursery, my son started one year ago and has made great friendships, homely nursery with amazing staff. The staff from all rooms know all the children individually and go above and beyond in their care. He has amazed us with his learning and development and a lot of this is due to the nursery. They say small is beautiful and I can happily say that about The Wantage Nursery and Preschool.

Review from Colette O (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter is exceeding in every way and educationally all due to the nursery and the lovely staff. The nursery has made lots of new and exciting wall displays in and out of the nursery garden, which has been a pleasure to look at and a nice environment for the children. My daughter has made lots of friends with her peers and my daughter really loves all of the staff and looks forward to nursery, like her little family.

Review from Colin E (Grandfather of Child) published on 15 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My grandson has only been at the nursery for a short time, but he gets so excited as we pull into the carpark. The staff throughout the nursery welcome him as if he was their own when I drop him off and leaving him with a smile on his face shows how happy he is there. He has settled in extremely well and has already made friendships with other children in his room. There are plenty of toys to keep him entertained and help him learn new things. From reading his daily diary he enjoys the food, which sounds very appealing. The nursery is bright and colourful and very well laid out. I was surprised with the size of it and the garden area is a pleasant surprise.

Review from Keith P (Father of Child) published on 8 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our child came from a settled position in another nursery. The staff at Wantage gave him the time and patience he needed to feel settled again. This has shown as his development has moved on significantly. I also feel this is due to the better staff ratios, allowing more time for useful interactions. I enjoy that Wantage encourages outdoor play as much as possible.

Review from Dennis B (Father of Child) published on 17 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Our daughter has really enjoyed her experience at the nursery. She has a range of activities to keep her occupied. Her carers have a really good understanding of her developments and really look after her.
After struggling to eat at first she now enjoys her food and the range is broad and inviting.

We are very happy with her experience.

Overall Experience
There are two ladies that are fantasic, friendly and caring women. I couldn't feel anymore happy and reassured to leave my son knowing that the level of care is so high. My son loves them both like they are his family and is always happy to see them.

Thank you for the fabulous work you both do.

Review from Kirsty M (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child has been a part of the nursery and preschool for over a year now, recently staring in pre-school and she thoroughly enjoys it. All the staff are extremely attentive and work in partnership with parents to achieve goals and milestones. I couldn't ask for better people to care for my child while I am at work.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Our experience is that our son arrives and departs extremely happy.
There are so many different sensory experiences in the room for him to play with and the staff treat him like their own.
He adores them quite obviously as he is not normally a very sociable baby.

I wouldn't choose anywhere else for my child to enjoy himself, get messy and have a truly great experience outside of his home life.
