Review from Alex (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A wonderful nursery, all of the staff are highly attentive and understand all the children’s individual needs. As both of my children have moved through the nursery, from babies to preschool, the transitions between rooms have been brilliantly managed and all needs have been met. The food choices are fantastic and healthy options adapted for my child’s dietary needs. Both of my children have loved their time at Whitwick and I would highly recommend it to other parents.

Review from Abby B (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery. She is always happy when going into and coming out of the nursery. She enjoys lots of different activities that encourage her growth and development, especially messy play. She loves all of her meals too, sometimes having two portions. The nursery has been great during the lockdown, being flexible to our different needs. We have been so impressed with Whitwick day nursery that we have recommended it to several of our friends in the area.

Overall Experience
A lovely nursery, with large, bright rooms and a wonderful outside area that the children make full use of.
My daughter moved here a year ago after being at a previous nursery. The staff helped her settle in record time, and I think she's happier here than she was before.

The activities for the kids, communication from the nursery, the food and most importantly, the staff care and attention are fantastic and we're very happy we chose them.

Review from Fiona T (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Whitwick Day Nursery for the past 2 years and has been in 3 rooms at the nursery as she has developed. Each room, environment and staff member is tailored to the developmental and emotional needs of the child and age group promoting a stimulating environment for growth. My daughter looks forward to going to nursery and brings home the songs, stories and themes they practice in the day. She has been involved in Kimbles and Creatures corner and loves the outdoor play area with a park, bikes, sandpits and mud kitchens. She is always well stimulated, happy and well looked after and management keeps me well updated on her progress. I would highly recommend this setting to other parents.

Overall Experience

My son enjoys his mornings at nursery and I feel it has really helped his development. The staff are very friendly and supportive, they have made him go from not wanting to leave my side to being confident and happy to join in and play with other children. It's also great seeing what he has been up to on tapestry.

Review from Claire (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Son loves going to this Nursery, quite often not wanting to come home! I do feel some members of staff could be more friendly with a smile on their face, however, most are lovely and very welcoming to my Son and I. Certain members of management are less approachable than others. I have been sent an incorrect invoice in the past through an error in management and was then chased for payment which I didn't find professional and received no apology for.

Overall, an excellent Nursery with lovely staff especially in my son's current room and we especially love the Tapestry emails so we can see what our son gets up to daily. Would recommend to all friends and family should they be on the lookout for a Nursey.

Reply from Rosie Cartwright, Marketing Assistant at Whitwick Day Nursery

Thank you for recognising how essential well-qualified, enthusiastic staff are required to delivering outstanding childcare to progress your little one’s continuous learning. We will pass your kind feedback on to our team at Whitwick.

We do apologise for the incorrect invoice but hopefully, this has been rectified now. Please let the management team be aware if there are any issues in the future.

Staff at Whitwick nursery are all lovely and all happy to help. Girls love it and settled in very quickly. Fussy eaters but have now started trying more foods from being at nursery. We only do one afternoon a week but always look forward to going.

Overall Experience
A lovely nursery that treats you as if you were family. My son loves it there, has been settled since day one. They can’t do enough for you and if you ask they always help where they can. My son has a lovely bond with a member of the team and always runs into nursery to give her a big cuddle.

They always take part in activities such as world book day, Halloween parties and dress as a pirate day. It’s just a very warm and happy place.

Overall Experience

My child loves attending pre-school. I know she is happy and well looked after and already has a special bond with her key-worker who she talks about all the time. They plan daily activities, which help my child move forwards and know her really well. I am confident that she is very well cared for. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming.

Overall Experience

I am always singing the praises of Whitwick Day Nursery. I love the setting and the staff, everyone is so friendly and always have time to say hello. I really like that they are so focused on getting the kids playing outside but just as much on teaching them. When my daughter first started, she was so shy and couldn't speak properly at all, the staff have really brought her out of herself. She is now the most confident and happy and intelligent child. We have been through a few rough patches with her behaviour but the nursery staff have always helped us work through it.
