  • Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne, Wolverhampton
Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is a home from home setting at the heart of Wombourne, offering the perfect learning environment for children.

With local parks and amenities, such as the library, in walking distance, the children are regularly out exploring the local area whilst taking full advantage of both the indoor and outdoor nursery space.

The nursery has four rooms within the main building as well as an additional building adjacent to the main building; giving the littlest ones the space to develop their balance, confidence and independence in a safe and calm environment before moving to the main building.

The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

With several local primary schools in close proximity, they are able to develop relationships with these schools to be able to ensure that an effective and positive transition period takes place when the little ones are ready to move on to their next adventure at school.

Our little girl recently joined Babies 1 and absolutely loves attending nursery. She has settled in so well, and all the staff are incredibly friendly, taking the time to share feedback about her day. In just under a month at Sandhills, we've already seen lovely progress in her development thanks to
the wonderful experiences they provide. The communication through the ParentZone app has been fantastic, it's such a joy to see what she's been doing during the day, along with details about her meals, naps, and activities. We feel reassured knowing she is happy, well cared for, and thriving in such a nurturing environment.

Sandhills have had both my daughter and son. It's safe to say that they both LOVE it. They are always happy on drop off and collection, and they have a positive rapport with both their key workers and the staff in the room. They are on the ball with updating the app and calling us when necessary. There
are lots of options for play and they change it up to keep it in line with development.

Having had a really positive experince with our first daughter, we returned to Sandhills for our second daughter.
She's developing her milestones and is looked after by each and every staff member, who some are now friends because of how lovely they all are.
All the staff genuinely care about the
children within the nursery and do an absolutely amazing job, always smiling too!

I cannot recommend Sandhills Wombourne highly enough, they have provided care for both to the highest standard. My boys have loved and looked forward to attending each day which is largely down to the wonderful staff there. The food provided is excellent and includes recipes I would gladly eat myself.
providing
a variety of flavours for the children to experience and enjoy. The playteam are always thinking of ideas to develop and encourage learning in fun ways that are engaging for the children. I honestly wouldn't dream of sending my children anywhere else and I know that they are receiving the best start in life and preparing them for school and beyond.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.894 for Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is calculated as follows: ( (454 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 502 Ratings = 4.894
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is based on 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
