  • 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.

This is the best nursery. All 3 of my children have attended. The whole team is very supportive especially management. My kids are very happy here, that is so reassuring knowing my kids are in safe hands. The service in every aspect is exceptional.


My eldest son who is now in Year one had a very

good foundation which was stemmed from this nursery.

My daughter started at Sandhills Wombourne after we moved in Nov 2017. I was very anxious about her starting at a new nursery as she’d been at her previous one since she was 3 months old, but Sandhills were fantastic. They made us both feel welcome and she loves her sessions there. She has formed great
relationships with staff and other children and as a parent I am regularly kept informed of her progress via an online app / learning journey.

I have two sons at Sandhills one 4 years old and one 16 months. I would highly recommend the nursery, all staff are friendly and approachable and very caring with the children. Management is helpful and accommodating. The level of learning is brilliant, the staff encourage the children with all aspects
and cover a wide range of skills and topics both my sons have thrived whilst in their care.

Excellent facility with wonderful staff who are professional, caring and calm. Management is also professional, and flexible. I'm so very happy with this childcare setting - I have used other childcare facilities locally and much further afield and this ranks with the best.

Sandhills Nursery is a brilliant nursery for my little one. She enjoys attending each week and looks forward it. She has developed and continues to be reaching her milestones ever since she started attending at the age of 2yrs. The staff are friendly, warm and kind. My little one`s face lights up each
time she talks about them. The manager and deputy manager are always helpful and quick to respond to my emails.
I especially love the Ey Log Parent App they have, that allows you to see how your child`s day is going whilst you are at work or busy doing other day to day things. If/when we have another child we will definitely send them here. I would recommend this nursery.

Sandhills Day Nursery Wombourne is wonderful! My little one has been going now for the last 9 months. He has come on tremendously in all areas and has developed superb relationships with the early year's practitioners, and his peers. The number of activities they are given means the little ones are
constantly stimulated never giving them chance to get bored.


The Ey log app is amazing, meaning you get numerous daily pictures and videos of what your little one has been up to during the day!


There is so much I could write about this nursery! I wish I had found this nursery when my other two boys were nursery age.

Sandhills Day Nursery (Wombourne) is an outstanding nursery, not just from an Ofsted perspective but also a parental one. My son has been attending the nursery since he was six months old. He has always received the highest level of care and development which has adapted in complexity along with his
age.


The environment is being continually developed to keep it stimulating and relevant for the children. The structure of the day and the activity framework feeds beautifully into the EYFS framework with the children being encouraged and challenged on an ongoing basis.

I’m extremely happy with the care provided for my child at Sandhills and cannot recommend them highly enough. The staff are wonderful and friendly and engage with the children and parents. My child is thriving here and loves going to nursery. He is welcomed and known personally by everyone which makes
it a comfortable environment for him and is truly bringing out the best in him. Feedback is given on a daily basis so I feel part of my child’s learning journey. Activities are always varied and imaginative and the standard of learning is high. As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more I believe the staff genuinely care for the children.

I can’t rate this nursery highly enough. The staff are friendly to the parents, the children love them, the facilities are brill, and they are very helpful, whatever you throw at them. They’ll try their hardest to accommodate anything you ask of them, are as flexible as you need, and the Eyelog system
they use is a really nice touch to see what your children have been up to all day. Brilliant nursery!

Our son has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Sandhills. He has gone from a timid, shy and very clingy boy to making friends, playing confidently in groups and wanting to get involved. It has been fantastic for myself and his Dad to see the positive changes in him.

My son has recently joined this nursery and has settled in really well. Both the managers and other staff are very friendly and helpful. I am told abut the various activities my son has been doing each day and there seems to be a fantastic variety of things for the children to do, there is also a good
sized playground with tricycles and other ride-on toys. I am very pleased with the nursery and I believe my son has a really good time here, and learns a lot.

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.
