  • 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.

My son only attends 1 half day a week but the change in his confidence and how well he is developing is a testament to how well the nursery is run, and the hard work from all the staff. Very pleased with all aspects and looking forward to my son attending more regularly.

Staff very friendly and always working with parents or carers to ensure the children's needs are always met. My children love going to nursery and look forward to seeing the staff and their friends. The children are always doing different activities inside and out, messy play to imaginative play, always
different things to do and my children always look forward to a new day there. The manager is always there to listen and help with any concerns.

My son has attended Wellingborough Day Nursery since he was 12 weeks old. He is now 33 months and he loves all the different activities the nursery set daily, and the little outings they take. The staff are so welcoming and always go that extra mile to help with the children from potty training, settling
them in and feeling welcome to helping with behaviour changes by rewarding good behaviour with smiley charts. I personally wouldn't chase any other nursery. Overall my experience and my son's has been great.

Overall we are happy with the service provided by Wellingborough Day Nursery. Our daughter has been attending their nursery for 2yrs and seems to be happy and progressing well in her developmental stages. She has been well looked after, natured to achieve her full potential. Staff are friendly and patient
which is an essential aspect in forging long trusting relationships thereby creating a good environment to develop.

What can I say? My little girl started at the nursery back in September 2016 (9 months old) and six months on I can't believe the difference in her. She is so much more confident and the staff have done an amazing job. All very approachable, friendly and prompt to answer questions.
I feel very happy
knowing that my little girl is content and safe when I'm at work. Great job.

My daughter attends nursery here and really loves it. She is so grown up and always comes home smiling and I can't thank the nursery enough for what they do. My daughter learns new things every day, and that's down to all the lovely staff I have met at this nursery.
I would really recommend this nursery
to anyone who is searching for the right one.

The nursery is a brilliant place to bring your children, my oldest daughter came here since she's been two and now she's gone to primary school, my youngest has now joined as soon as she turned two, the nursery has helped both my daughters exceed everything in life ready for my oldest to start big
girl school, both my daughters have thoroughly enjoyed coming that we also paid a further day for my oldest, in the short space of time that they have had my youngest she has come out of her shell and is coming on with speech and socialising with different children and adults, she is also developing relationships with the staff and the other children, they help and support the parents and I would thoroughly recommend this nursery I would never put my children anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson has attended Wellingborough Day Nursery full time for a little over a year having originally begun with 2 days per week. I collect him most evenings and he is always happy and clearly, has a great time whilst there. His personal development has been fantastic to watch, with the nursery providing
daily activities that make learning fun for him. His social and communication skills are excellent, they provide him with an understanding of how to behave as part of a group, and on a one to one basis supporting his mum's efforts. The nursery provides a wide variety of meals with a great balanced menu. The manageress and her team are outstanding, his key worker deserving particular praise for the guidance she gives him, and has played a large part in his development and always provides comprehensive feedback each day.

An absolutely amazing nursery, I used them previously with my older children and wouldn't go anywhere else for my baby, the staff are all lovely and polite and instantly make you feel welcome. The standard of care for the children is outstanding and the food options are great. The children's activities
that they plan are brilliant and changes each week to keep the children happy and entertained. My daughter is really happy and is enjoying making lots of friends and gets on very well with all staff. The nursery is very clean and the fees are very good. The best nursery in Wellingborough by far!

When I came to first view Wellingborough Day Nursery for my son we were very well welcomed and felt comfortable with the nursery and the teachers that would be round my child. He also settled in well and due to circumstances that me and my child were going through they helped and I have seen a massive
change in my son for the better with the help that Wellingborough Day Nursery have given, so I would highly recommend the nursery to friends and family.

I love that the setting is small and structured, with a good range of activities for the children both indoor and outside. The menu is excellent for good eaters but not for fussy children like my son.

My son really loves coming to nursery , I have already recommended Wellingborough Day Nursery to a few friends. I love that he is trying new food, and I think the menu is brilliant. I really like the new Tapestry online updates, you have taken some great photos and gone very in depth in writing what
he has said and done. The staff have always been very friendly and kept me updated on what's been going on each day my son attends.

I like the fact that the nursery is open during school holidays so I can still take my bigger kids out to do activities that may not be suitable for the smaller ones. I find the staff to be very friendly and approachable.

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.
