  • Wellingborough Day Nursery, Wellingborough
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. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

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.

Babies start in a cosy room, where they are free to explore through a mix of child-led and structured learning activities. Toddlers are introduced to a range of learning experiences through sensory and imaginative play, with opportunity to experience ‘discover zones’, providing natural resources for children to engage with.

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.

Wellingborough Day Nursery ensures that the needs of the children are a top priority and strives to provide the best possible care and education.

Is time for me to share all my experiences with Wellingborough Day Nursery. Since my daughter started she was very excited to be in every day. The staff are very friendly and helpful and what they do inside is absolutely fantastic. Children in preschool get manners, learn letters, numbers and a lot
of activities. Choose Wellingborough day nursery and you will not regret.

Wellingborough Day Nursery is a good place for children to stay. Currently, my third son is attending the nursery. Although every child is different they usually all come back home happy. There are lots of different activities and the menu is good. The opening hours are a huge advantage for parents.
I would definitely recommend that place.

Since new management the atmosphere is a lot better, less of staff turn around, meaning children see the same faces. All staff are friendly, polite and helpful, my daughter enjoys seeing the staff just as much as she enjoys seeing her friends which is great!

My daughter joined Wellingborough Day Nursery in September 2021.
The team here have been fantastic with my little one, she isn’t very good when it comes to food but they have gone above and beyond to make sure she has the correct food and even made her a menu to take home so she knows what’s she having,
Friendly and compassionate team, would highly recommend this nursery.

When the daughter started going to kindergarten, it was a difficult beginning. However, the staff was very helpful and really tried to adapt my daughter to the new environment. My daughter got used to it quickly and I am grateful to them for that. They do a great job and I see progress on my daughter.
Now she gets up with a smile and is very much looking forward to nursery. I'm glad we decided on this nursery.

Wellingborough Day Nursery is the best nursery I could give to my child. My daughter loved going to the nursery, she's so excited every day to meet her friends and the staff. Staff is so lovely and take good care of the children. I can say my daughter has learned a lot going here and there were lots
of activities planned for children. Staff receive children with a big smile and end-of-day reporting of child's activities for the day is great. I will 100% recommend this nursery to my friends. Thank you so much to all the staff again for giving an amazing experience to my child. Keep going!

I couldn’t have sent my two little ones to a better Nursery. The staff are amazing, my son and daughter are very content and always tell me how lovely their day has been. They serve great nutritional food, do lots of stimulating activities for the children and also have a great app to keep me updated
with photos and my children’s learning development. I highly recommend Wellingborough Day Nursery.

Since my daughter has started here, she's come such a long way! With her speech, communication skills, sharing and playing with other children. She absolutely loves it here. She's always happy to go to "school" as she calls it and is always happy to tell me about her day too. I can't thank the staff
enough for giving my daughter that little more confidence she needed. Highly recommend this nursery.

My twin girls started off with this nursery in Rainbows, and now they are in preschool.
Being a full time working mom, the nursery (key workers) have exceptionally taken my role in building my kids ability as to how they are today. Special thanks to the new management (Great loads of new stuff, introduced
with food and education).

Brought my girls to this nursery after having a bad experience elsewhere and I’m so glad I did. The manager and her team are amazing and provide anything and everything developmentally for all the children to ensure they have the best to life. All the staff members take their time to say hello to you
and make you feel welcomed. The children always look engaged in activities and have endless learning opportunities, which in a few short weeks I can see the clear difference in my girls furthered learning, which I have to thank the team for as they spend all the time they can with the children to challenge them developmentally. Honestly can’t praise this nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.289)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.289) out of 10 for Wellingborough Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.854 for Wellingborough Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.854
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.435 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wellingborough Day Nursery is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.635
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
