The team at Whitwick nursery are lovely, and you can tell they genuinely care about the children. You know your child is safe when you are leaving them there.

The staff in baby room are kind are friendly, and give good updates about my child's day.

Overall Experience
Our 2 children attend Whitwick Day Nursery and both love it. One is 2yrs 10months, the other is 1yrs. The staff will accommodate your routine with your children to the letter which I have found reassuring with both of our children. The staff are always so knowledgable about our children and want to pass on how their day has been in detail whilst at nursery. They are outside playing a lot, which we feel is helpful for children's development. The nursery are great at planning events and keeping parents informed.

I would definitely recommend Whitwick Day Nursery

My review isn't just for a certain month, as an overall, the time my child has attended Whitwick Day Nursery has been amazing! I could not fault what they do for the children. My child loves learning new things and getting creative; they have helped him come out of his shell and excel, which I'm very grateful for! All the staff at Whitwick Day Nursery are welcoming and friendly.

Overall Experience
My experience with Whitwick day Nursery has been outstanding.
What a great team of staff who individually help and encourage my child to be the best he can.
He has learnt so much and has come on leaps and bounds since starting here.
The activities they set up are always fun and engaging; he loves to get involved in anyway he can.
They have a great outdoor space where he loves to be.
Meals they provide throughout the day are great.
The communication is great too, the app definitely helps the communication, from messages of praise and pictures to updates on how he's settled in.

Overall a great nursery. I would recommend to anyone.

Review from Patrycja G (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since starting in the baby room a few weeks ago, My child seems to have come on so much in a very short period of time. We've noticed she has been babbling more than ever before, trying to repeat words like Hiya/Bye Bye when seeing other people and waving to them in the same time! She's started using baby sign language, trying to sign more and all done when having food at home. If we repeat the gesture and ask her if she would like more / if she's all done she smiles and claps and you can tell how pleased she is we're understanding what she's trying to tell us which is really nice to see. We've been really happy with how quickly she's settled in and seeing the bond she's already developed with the staff definitely puts our mind at ease.

Reply from Charlie G, Nursery Support Team at Whitwick Day Nursery

Review from B P (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since starting nursery at the beginning of April my child has reached a few milestones, including crawling, pulling to stand and feeding herself with a spoon, with a little support. My child was shy at the first few drop offs, but now puts her arms out to the staff and is happy as we leave. My child is always happy playing when we arrive to collect her, alongside the other children. I think it's lovely also that my child's sister has been able to visit during the time she has been settling in too. Thank you to everyone involved in helping my child settle into nursery.

Review from Bridie L (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has really been enjoying nursery and has settled in a lot better than expected. He is a big mummys boy so I was cautious how he would act when I left him but when I drop him off to see him smile and hold his arms out to the ladies in the rooms really makes me feel so much better and a lot more comfortable leaving him, it shows to me as his mum he is more than happy being there and has grown what I would say are great relationships within the baby room!

At home me and my partner have seen that he is picking up new skills fast, clapping & waving he is starting to associate clapping if we say well done good boy & waves when we say hiya or bye bye. I think it has really helped him progress and gain more confidence being without me which is a great thing for his development.

For both me and my partner we are more than with the nursery it has really exceeded my expectations, to see him so happy when I drop him off and pick him up is great! I trust wholeheartedly that you take the up

Review from Lee P (Father of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Firstly can we Thank all for the tremendous job all the staff have done with our son.
We really do feel you have helped his development so much. From the combination of understanding his personality upon discovering his milk intolerance and helping him to blossom into the cheeky chap that he is.
His favourite part of the day is breakfast time. He is a full weetabix machine.

You have really taken the time to get him on his feet and off his knees. He is now a marathon runner!

He has then settled into his newer room so much better than expected. We believe this is to the work you all put in helping with this transition period.

Thanks.

I just want to say how grateful I really am to all the staff for helping my daughter grow. I feel she has progressed massively with all your help and unfortunately I didn't have the same feeling from another nursery that my eldest daughter attended.

My daughter adores you all so much and I'm so happy to drop her off at nursery knowing she's so happy to be there. When we pull up in the morning she claps because she simply can't wait to come.

Review from Alex M (Mother of Child) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has developed immensely over the last 6/7 months! She has become an incredibly confident girl, compared to when she first started attending. Her speech has improved, and I feel that nursery has definitely helped with this. Although she sometimes still struggles with social interactions with other babies, I do feel that being around other children has and still is helping her to become more confident and interactive with others. I really appreciate the staff being incredibly accommodating when my daughter first started as it was a struggle at the time. Everyone is always so welcoming and I'm glad that my daughter feels comfortable with the people taking care of her!

Review from H P (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What a wonderful environment for growing children!! My boy has been there since 11 months old (now 4). He had moderate hearing loss (which the nursery actually pointed out to me - a first time mother just thinking my baby boy was being ignorant and selective ) up until last December when he had corrective surgery. Both before and after, they have given him so much care and consideration. 1-1s to help him develop his hearing skills and his speech. They have worked so closely with other clinical professionals to get him ready for school this September. And even without the hearing troubles, he has learned so much and had fun doing it. Every week is filled with themed activities! He has made loads of friends to share in these activities with. The nutrition is amazing! So healthy and tasty. He eats so much now thanks the whitick day nursery.They have been incredible every single step of the way!

I just want to say first how amazing the nursery is! Absolutely amazing! You and all of the girls are absolutely amazing and I couldn't be happier with the staff! I'm so happy with the range of different things you offer throughout the day at nursery and even being so good with my son even when he is having a bad day! My son seems to be coming on so much just from 2 weeks at nursery! After 2 days he was clapping his hands and pulling himself to stand! Absolutely outstanding nursery and baby room staff! You girls really are absolutely amazing! Thank you so so much for making my babies time at nursery a good time!

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've been incredibly impressed with the baby room since my daughter started. The staff are always so friendly and take the time to chat during drop-off and pick-up, which I really appreciate. I was anxious when my daughter first started as she was still so little however I was sent regular updates and messages to let me know how she was getting on. I especially value the consistency of the staff, as it's helped my daughter to settle in so well-she happily goes to a familiar face without any tears.
I'm impressed with how organised the nursery is as everything is documented through the app, this is particularly helpful when medication needs to be administered as its all logged on there. I also love that you make the effort to do crafts and baking with the babies, even at such a young age.

Since starting at the nursery, my daughter has developed so much, her confidence and speech have both come a long way. A big thank you from me for providing such a wonderful setting.

Lovely nursery! Very accommodating, staff are always friendly, and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. My son formed a bond with the staff very quickly, and this has had a positive effect on my son's social skills and making new friends.
I find the accident reporting could be improved - I would prefer to be notified straight away if my son has had an accident, but most of the time, I don't find out until pick up (and sometimes not at all, my son tells me later on in the evening).

I feel the meal portions/snacks could maybe be reviewed, as my son is always raiding the cupboards as soon as he gets home (although this could just be a toddler thing!). Other than that, I can't praise the nursery enough and wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
