My little boy goes here 3 days a week and absolutely loves it.
All the key workers are so friendly and take the time to get to know your little ones.

We are very happy with Wolstanton Kindergarten, our 32mo little girl has been full time since 1 year old and we have no issues whatsoever. All of the staff are so caring, our little one goes in each morning with a smile on her face.
The team are full of ideas, the activities and events they come
up with are fantastic. There is a big focus on fun with a good balance of learning through play.
It is a small nursery, with a 'home from home' feel, so children benefit from lots of care and attention. The small outdoor space is well equipped with lots of toys and play areas to explore.
Communication is great with lots of photos through the app and all the info you need about their day.
I cannot recommend Wolstanton Kindergarten enough, they are a wonderful caring team. No gimmicks, they just love kids and approach any issues that arise with common sense. We feel very lucky to have WK as our nursery!

Our daughter has been attending Wolstanton Kindergarten since last year and we couldn't be happier! At 2 years and 3 months, she is thriving in this nurturing environment.
The regular updates and photos via the app keep us engaged with her daily activities. The food provided is nutritious with just
the right amount of treats, promoting a balanced approach to eating.
The staff is highly trained, genuinely interested in the children's development, and work seamlessly as a team. Our daughter's key worker has been instrumental, assisting her through significant changes - transitioning to a new nursery, moving homes, and the anticipation of a new sibling.
They offer fantastic support and reassurance regarding health and development, and their community involvement is impressive. The art packs we receive each term showcase her creations, which she proudly shares with us.
We are so grateful we chose Wolstanton Kindergarten for our daughter's early education!

An absolutely fantastic nursery! Our son has been going here since he was 6 months old (now nearly 3). We started with 3 days a week and have recently increased to 4 days, mainly due to how much he loves going to nursery and also how much he has come along. The key workers are all amazing and do so
much with the children and really take the time to get to know them. Their communication from day one has been superb and their interaction with us parents when dropping off and collecting and also throughout the day really helps to put your mind at rest. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to anyone and really cannot thank all the key workers enough for everything they do for our little one :-)

I could not recommend Wolstanton Kindergarten enough. Our daughter has been going since she was 9 months old, she is now three and still absolutely loves every day here. She has a fantastic relationship with her key worker and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The updates on the app are really
regular with lovely photos and insights into their day and the activities that are planned are so exciting for the little ones.

We couldn't be more happier with this nursery both our children currently go and it's such a caring environment, our little boy has really struggled with his speech and the Manager and other staff have been brilliant at getting him referred to speech and language and trying to get him extra funding
to support him in nursery, we've actually decided to keep him on another year rather than going to school, Holly has been amazing with both of our children but is currently looking after my daughter and they are always happy to see each other, the Nursery Practitioners are all amazing in what they do also! And a special mention to and Nursery Practitioner she's always happy and absolutely adores the children she's doing an amazing job and always makes us laugh on pick up and drop off.

This nursery deserves positive praise, the staff are fabulous,friendly and professional.
The activities the children experience are educational and fun and the daily photos/ updates are something to look forward to. An excellent start for the little ones where they are nurtured, well cared for and
make wonderful relationships not only with the amazing staff but their little friends. A total delight to be a part of this journey. Can't thank everyone enough.

I honestly cannot fault this nursery. Leaving your child is always an anxious time but my little one is so excited to go every morning and has an amazing bond with their key worker. I have full faith in the care they provide and all the learning opportunities they are given. All staff are so friendly
and with it being a smaller environment, each staff member knows your little one even if they are not in their room. Would recommend the anyone.

Outstanding nursery from the minute my son started back in Oct 23 iv never had to complain about anything. He settled so quickly and made so many friends, the staff are all so lovely and welcome and provide a home from home atmosphere. My sons currently in his finally stage at the nursery and will be
moving on to big school In September and we will sure be sad to go. His key worker is absolutely amazing, my son adores her. She provides him with all the help / support and care he needs. I love the fact I can see how he's getting on throughout the day with the app, photos always making me smile and I always look forward to hearing about my sons day when he comes home. If I ever have any future children they will 100% be coming to Wolstanton Kindergarten.

When my little boy started nursery in January I was really quite anxious, I was nervous to leave him. But the staff are so friendly and caring and have really not only supported my son with transitioning into nursery but supported me also. I can't praise his key worker enough, she is always so caring
and my son loves her to bits! All the staff are amazing and care for him. The activities are great and my son always comes home with a smile on his face! He has come on leaps and bounds since starting Wolstanton kindergarten! If I ever have any queries the manager gets back to me quickly and is always helpful.

A home from home. From the moment we met the nursery team here, we just knew that our little boy would be loved as if he were their own. Everything about the team here is what should be in every nursery - their values, kindness, warmth and humble approach to life are all qualities we want our little
one to grow up surrounded by. For us, this is the most important thing. Thank you to the front-of-house staff and all of the management behind the scenes who work relentlessly every day to make this nursery an incredible place to be. We are delighted that this team is starting our little one's journey on this road called life.

My daughter came to Wolstanton Kindergarten for a short time and she had a fantastic time. The staff here made my daughter feel at home on her first day and she always came home talking about what they had done during the day. The staff are all lovely and always greeted us with professionalism and a
smile! All a parent wants when they choose a childcare facility is to feel confident in leaving their child with professional staff who absolutely love their job, this is exactly what I experienced every day that my daughter attended. This is an outstanding nursery to send children to and I would highly recommend it!

My 1-year-old son has been attending this nursery for 4 months now and he thoroughly enjoys it. The level of care here is outstanding and the atmosphere is wonderful. It has a very homely feeling. All the staff go above and beyond for each and every child. We wouldn’t send our children anywhere else.

Choosing a nursery for your child to attend each day for a parent is very very difficult. As soon as we walked into Wolstanton, we knew that this is the one! All staff welcomed us as a family into the nursery and gave us a thorough tour and run through of their day to day routines. It is very home from
home like, lots of things going on around the nursery, displays of the children’s work are all over for parents to see. Very detailed discussions are made when collecting our child on what they have done throughout the day as well as seeing their social media posts. The staff look after our child like she is their own, which we love! She has been going to the nursery now for 2 years and she absolutely loves it, she’s built up great relationships with all staff and made some great friends. We would highly recommend Wolstanton Kindergarten as no other beats this!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) out of 10 for Wolstanton Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.969 for Wolstanton Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.969
  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 Wolstanton Kindergarten is based on 16 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 25 number of registered child places is 5, which has been reached with 16 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.
