Whitwick Day Nursery

My son had been at Whitwick since he was 2.5 years old, he had to start quickly as we quickly returned to work after Covid. They were absolutely brilliant at getting him settled and taking care of his needs when he was in the nursery room and as he transitioned to preschool - they helped him to develop further in himself and his confidence. It is due to their hard work and diligence that he is happy in his primary school now.

Thank you for everything you do ladies.

Nice and friendly, lots of staff. Sometimes unsure who is the best to speak to about my daughter. Little frustrating that your charged for Bank Holidays when the nursery is closed but care is still needed so end up paying twice.

Enjoys a variety of activities that teach him a lot of different skills and learnt social skills to help when starting school.

Our other son loves the baby room it’s amazing.

My child's only been going to the nursery since February 2022 but absolutely loves it. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Especially his key worker, who goes above and beyond with him and really helps him to progress.

I’ve been so happy with the service from this nursery and always speak highly of the managers and staff, would definitely recommend!

This nursery is good. My eldest child came here when he was younger and had a good experience, now my youngest comes here and both loved it. I will recommend this nursery to other parents and people as I enjoy bringing my child here.

The team here are so friendly. My daughter loves it. She finds it fun and loves the activities that are planned by the nursery. Outside play is good as children of different ages get to mix together. The nursery is accommodating with drop off and collection times.

Both my children are very happy and settled at Whitwick, it makes leaving them to go to work easier. All staff are always very friendly and helpful. On collection, we are always provided with a full breakdown of the varied activities they have been doing that day. I no longer worry about them throughout the day as I used to because I know the care and attention they receive at Whitwick is brilliant. The only thing that lets it down is the food portions, I often need to feed my children after a full day at nursery even if they have eaten everything given.

One reason for us choosing this nursery initially was the location. It’s practically on our doorstep and easy for grandma to collect when needed! However, since my son joined in May 2020 in the baby room the nursery has proved to be a first-class choice. The staff are all fantastic, friendly, caring and trustworthy! My son is quite shy, especially in large numbers and I think prefers to play independently but the staff have always assured me that he is happy and is enjoying his time there, even when we used to have difficult tearful drop-offs, I was always put at ease that once he was through those doors and out of Mum's sight he was absolutely fine! My son is a very fussy eater and has recently got worse so he often comes home hungry (which is not the nursery’s fault) but I would like to see some alternative options for him if he point blank refuses to eat. He suffers badly from constipation so it would be really helpful if this was an option moving forwards.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was ten and a half months old. The staff have been great in helping him to settle in, lots of tears but he is finally getting there. His skills have developed so much since starting. The nursery provides a wide range of activities, routines to meet needs and a very good menu selection so I know my son is getting a variety of food. I enjoy seeing his updates on the app. All the staff have been very friendly and helpful since starting. Thank you very much!

My compliments to all involved.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 7-months-old and has loved it since starting. The staff have always been so kind and caring, and regardless of which room he has been in, the standard of care has always been high. The staff have really engaged with him and got to know him, even though he only attends for one day a week. He always comes home excited to tell us about what he has been doing that day. He really enjoys the meals he has at the nursery and it is so reassuring knowing they are all homecooked and prepared and cooked fresh at the nursery every day. I recommend the nursery whenever I know anyone is looking for a nursery for their little ones and I will continue to recommend the nursery.

This nursery has gone above and beyond for my son, who's autistic. He's stayed in the nursery room due to his delayed learning and being behind. This has really helped him. They've all just been brilliant with helping him get what he needs to develop, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. He actually likes coming now after a long time. I'm going to be sad when he leaves.

My son loves going to the nursery. He started in September 2020 in the midst of the pandemic and settled in so quickly. He's grown so much since then and the teachers take so much time with all the children. They have many activities available every day and spend a lot of time outdoors. The meals served to the children are amazing and very diverse and healthy.

My children are thriving being at this nursery. They are always well looked after and cared for by all staff. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants their children to get the best education before they start school.

My little girl joined this nursery in November 2020. I was extremely nervous about sending her. I looked at every nursery, preschool and childminder in the area, but I was really pleased with this nursery. They arranged for me to look around on a Saturday, due to the pandemic and they were happy to answer all of my questions. My little girl really loves going now and has formed a fantastic bond with her key worker. They are really understanding and supportive when you telephone for an update. They have a really good app where they update photos and progress of your child.

Really great nursery. My son has been going for a year now and moved into his third room recently. He only goes half a day a week and they have been really accommodating and caring in helping him settle. Especially with the lockdown. He’s doing really well now and enjoys his time there. I love seeing all his updates on the parents' app.

Brilliant nursery. My little one is getting on really well. Lots of outdoor play, different activities and artwork to be sent home with. The staff seem very passionate about what they do and I like the variety of meals and breakfasts. I also think it’s great the nappies, sun cream etc are included as some nurseries aren’t. My only slight gripe is my son has been sent away with a solid nappy quite a few times recently. I am not blaming the staff at all, as I know they work very hard, just thinking maybe they could come up with a different system to stop this happening.
