He absolutely adores the practitioners and talks about them regularly at home. Unlike my other children, he really struggled to get into books and listen to stories as often as I’d like at home, but he now loves books! Quoting stories he’s heard at nursery and wanting to read them at home. The nursery also has a library children can choose from to take a book home. The outside area is a brilliant size with plenty of resources.
My son has a food intolerance, and the nursery caters to his needs brilliantly. Always providing delicious meals.
The nursery is currently being newly decorated throughout giving the setting a new fresh look. It looks great!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our enthusiastic team devise fun, engaging activities for children to enjoy throughout the nursery day which provide great learning opportunities. Ensuring children have the chance to spend plenty of time outside in the fresh air, exploring, investigating and learning about the natural world, is so important for their health and wellbeing.
My experience with the nursery has been great. The first thing that impressed me with the nursery was that I could pay for the hours my child attended, unlike other nurseries where you had to pay for half a day or a full day (I believe this might be changing for new attendees). Another thing I liked was the outdoor area, although there is no grass, it is large, and my child really enjoys being outdoors, and the staff take them outside a lot. All the staff have been very accommodating, and my child loves interacting with everyone. One thing I think that could be improved is more information on the app about their daily activities, as before they moved to the app, there used to be a section for this on the paper daily information sheet you used to get. Thanks.

Lovely nursery, my daughter gets on well with the staff and enjoys going every week. However, myself and dad have noticed things slipping recently eg when picked up recently by Dad, my daughter had been left in a pooey nappy that had already dried by the time they got home for him to change it. Her nappies also get put on super tight which surely must be uncomfortable for her. We also don’t really get much of an informative handover from staff anymore when she’s picked up.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It’s so great to hear that your little one is enjoying her time here! We strive to uphold an exceptional standard of care at all times and provide informative, detailed handovers so our families cam stay up-to-date on their little one's nursery journey.
The nursery is excellent. I don’t have a single bit of negative feedback to give. I would recommend it to anyone at all.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's lovely to read that you and your family have had such a positive experience with us!
I have always found the team to be brilliant with my little one, they are always friendly and helpful and my child really enjoys attending nursery and has came on leaps and bounds since they've been at the nursery. Couldn't be happier!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's so great to read that your little one is enjoying their time here! Our kind, caring team are so passionate about providing exceptional childcare and education.
The nursery is great with my son, the staff all treat him really well and he’s thriving there. He loves the creative activities and he loves playing outside. He first started young when he was small and had specific feeding needs which were all met by the nursery. They also supported him through weaning and now he enjoys a wide variety of food. He was included in all nursery activities even when he was very small. His language and mobility are really coming along compared to his peers. He has fantastic social skills. He likes all the activities like meeting Santa and having photographs taken.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our team is incredibly attentive, respectful and supportive of all children's individual needs, working hard to provide the exceptional care they need to thrive.
Brilliant nursery! Lovely staff members! My little boy has came on massively over the last few months at Whitwick! Everyone has made us both feel so welcome and at ease! Definitely will recommend it to anyone that will be sending their children to nursery/preschool.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our kind, caring and supportive team are so passionate about helping children to learn and grow.
We love Whitwick Day Nursery! The staff are always so super friendly and helpful. They have gone out of their way to make our kiddo feel confident and included. Her speech and confidence have come on so much since starting at the nursery and she loves her nursery days. The app is great to keep up to date and is so easy to use.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our kind, nurturing team really take the time to build close relationships with the children in their care, so they can provide the support they need to learn and grow. The app is a great communication tool and allows families to stay up-to-date on their little one's nursery journey.
My little girl has been attending Whitwick Day Nursery since the beginning of October on a full-time basis. I am a returning family after my other children have also attended Whitwick Day Nursery. The girls at the nursery and the management team are brilliant and always willing to help and support. The biggest thing for me was how well my daughter had settled into the nursery. As soon as we pull up she knows she is at nursery and will scream and clap her hands in excitement. She has not long turned one.
At her previous nursery she was never like this she would always cry and not want to go to staff members. At Whitwick Day Nursery she is always happy to be passed over to any of the girls within the setting and will always want a cuddle or to blow kisses to them at the end of the day never leaving without a high five! Could not recommend a nursery more than Whitwick Day Nursery! Keep up the hard work girls.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to read that your little one has settled in so well! Our friendly, nurturing team really take the time to identify the individual needs of our families, so they can share the knowledge and provide the support needed to help little ones thrive.
Staff are polite, and daily updates from staff are good. Nursery times have been flexible when required. Weekly update reports will be helpful to work on areas of development. My daughter is happy at the nursery.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to hear that your little one is so happy here! Effective communication is important in maintaining strong parent partnerships.
I am so happy that my daughter goes to Whitwick day nursery. She has taken a while to settle as she only goes 2 half days a week, but is now happy at drop off and even points her way in wanting to go. The nursery workers in the baby room have really helped her settle and have a great relationship with her. Always happy to hear she had a great day, exploring and learning new ways to play.
Thank you for leaving such a great review. We are absolutely delighted to hear that your little one is enjoying their time at our nursery. We will pass your comments on to the nursery team.

I am very pleased with the nursery. The staff are amazing with my child, always fun activities for the children to do accompanied by learning times. Always have a variety of meals, sometimes they also involve the kids with activities like making your own pizza or baking cupcakes. Management is always friendly and helpful. Value for money is fair compared to the care they provide.

Always friendly and helpful. Easy to communicate with. Treat my daughter with respect. Have encouraged her to try new things she has made friends and her knowledge and preschool learning have come on leaps and bounds. Is a little on the expensive side but most are.

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was 1 and will continue to until he starts school, I am extremely happy with them the staff all make an effort to say hello, they are extremely approachable and welcoming even the ones I don't deal with every day when not working in my sons room. The management are very good at responding to e-mails and have supported me numerous times with enquiries I've had relating to government support and funding etc. I am extremely happy with my sons development and the support the nursery give him to reach his milestones, updates are regularly posted to Tapestry with pictures so I can see what activities he's been taking part in sometimes these even include prepping their own lunch they've made sausage rolls and Pizza's then these are cooked for their meals.
