Wellingborough Day Nursery offers a comfortable and spacious environment, where children are encouraged to develop a love for learning with the help of a qualified and dedicated team. The setting is located next to Croyland Park and just a short walk from the town centre and offers full time and part time childcare sessions.

Each room offers a diverse range of activities such as story time, cooking, painting and planting to keep each child's day exciting and unique. All rooms provide access to its own garden, and the nursery encourages outdoor play and learning all year round, regardless of the weather. The team is qualified and passionate about each child's education and well-being.

Pre-Schoolers have the freedom to learn and play according to their individual preferences, whether that is expressing their creativity through various arts and crafts, being active in the spacious garden or relaxing with books in the quiet reading corner. Throughout their later years in nursery, and with the support of the team, children are supported in their transition to school.

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Wellingborough Day Nursery and the wonderful progress our daughter, Iris, has made. The biggest difference we've noticed is in her social confidence and willingness to engage with everyone. Drop-offs and pickups, which used to involve tears, are now completely stress-free-she genuinely loves being here. She runs in happily every morning and is always in a joyful mood when we arrive to collect her. This transformation is a direct result of the nurturing, positive, and supportive environment created by the staff. We highly recommend Wellingborough Day Nursery to any parent looking for exceptional care and developmental support. A big thank you to all the team!
↩Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Wellingborough Day Nursery
We are thrilled to read how much your daughter has grown in confidence and how happily she now runs into nursery each morning. The team will be so proud to learn that drop-offs and pick-ups have become stress-free. They work really hard to create a nurturing, positive environment, so it is lovely to hear this reflected in your experience.

Every morning his face lights up when I tell him where we are going. I get regular updates which I love. He's developing so much quicker being there. Will definitely be sad when he leaves ( thankfully a few more years yet)

My son started at Wellingborough Day Nursey in January 2024 when he was barely 10 months old. We decided to enrol him only because his mom was due to start a job. Due to family reasons we decided that she would stop the job after one month. However, so vast was the improvement in our son that we decided that he had to continue irrespective. Since then, he has found a second home and a second family. The staff are so friendly, warm, caring and nice and the moment our son steps into the nursery, he practically forgets about us and we do not exist to him anymore! He is in his "home"!
The manager and the team are so flexible and they gave us invaluable support during the birth of our son's little sister in November 2024 and we can't wait to hand her over to them as well.
↩Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Wellingborough Day Nursery
It is wonderful to read that your son has thrived since joining our nursery and has found a second home with us! We're glad the team's warmth and care have made such a positive impact, and we're glad he feels so comfortable and happy here. We are excited to welcome your daughter into our nursery family as well!

They are a fabulous nursery. The staff are always friendly. We've had our daughter there since she was 9 months old and recently just turned 2 so has moved room which they helped make a smooth transition. The communication is always good and open. They explore the local area and take part in different events throughout the year. Since starting we can see constant updates within the setting to resources.
We're looking forward to the future of how our daughter will develop whilst being there.

My son has been attending Wellingborough Day Nursery since 2022 at 10 months old and we've now made it to Pre-School so I can say we've experienced everything on offer! What stands out the most is the staff and how friendly they all are. Having known some of them for 2.5 years now it feels like you truly go on a journey with them and even when you move rooms they still make time for us and make you feel welcome. The nursery has recently invested in new toys like play kitchens and upgrades to the garden. They take walks into town and are planning nursing home visits and get involved with charity days like Children in Need and do activities relating to them. There is also a bi-weekly dance/storytelling class which looks great fun for the children. The older your child gets the more they obviously can participate but it definitely feels that the nursery have spent time and effort cultivating a fun environment for all.

No comment, staff very helpful, my child is very well taken care of. Nursery prices are acceptable. Maybe potty training would be useful for a lot of kids as some new parents don't know where to start potty training.

The nursery setting is great, there is plenty to keep the children occupied and build their rounded education for progression to school.
However, communication needs to be improved. The last update on my child on the app was in January 2023.

The nursery takes great care in looking after the children and providing them with the best experiences possible. The staff are welcoming and warm and are always happy to give a detailed overview of the children's days. They take onboard routines and behaviour management techniques used at home to ensure continuity of care and consistency for the children, which has been great for their development. They have been extremely supportive of the children's circumstances and work with us as a team around the children, which we couldn't be more thankful for! The children are always excited to go to Wellingborough Day Nursery and leave with smiles on their faces! They have formed some wonderful relationships with members of staff and it is clear that this is due to their compassion, energy and commitment to the children.
