My son loves coming here. He gets on well with all the staff who are very friendly, and I feel completely happy leaving him in their care. The facilities are excellent and they have a great outdoor space. The staff are very approachable and helpful.

Wollaton house really feels like a family environment and the love and care they show for my child makes me feel very comfortable going to work that he's in a place which will help nurture him and develop him into the kind of person I want him to be. And January was a difficult month for me losing my
dad, so not having to worry about the care my son was getting so I could be there for my mother meant there was one less thing to stress about. And when I see the weekly menu come out I am happy knowing that he'll be getting a healthy nutritious meal whenever he's there

I cannot speak highly enough about Wollaton House Day Nursery! My daughter before starting here really struggled socially. She would struggle being around others or forming relationships. Since starting here she has come such a long way in all aspects. She has become such a confident and happy little
person - progressing in her development and relationships with others! I only have all the staff to thank at the nursery who everyday work hard so our little humans can thrive, and we are so grateful!

Wollaton House have been amazing at settling my little girl into nursery life. From that first settling in session they have done everything to ensure she feels safe and loved. Esme has come on so much whilst at Nursery and constantly talks about the staff there. The Wollaton House team are exceptional
and I wouldn't ever dream of sending Esme anywhere else. The team put the children at the heart of everything they do and help them to settle fast. Would highly recommend!

Our little boy has been at nursery since he turned one and I couldn't be happier with our choice. The team at Wollaton House has made the transition into nursery an absolute dream. Our little boy is absolutely thriving in the care of the baby room team. From the minute he's handed over to the team you
can see the love and care that is put into every child. The time and attention put in by the team is clear from every drop off and pick up. The menus changes weekly and the standard of food is exceptional with his allergies easily catered to. The management team are a key selling point of the nursery - Tracey and Charlotte go above and beyond to keep us updated and ensure all transitions and handovers are smooth. I couldn't go into work without knowing my little boy was cared for at the highest standard and that is what we are getting at Wollaton House.

Two of my children were at Wollaton House from when they were babies. They were very well taken care of and I felt confident leaving them in their care because I knew they would be well looked after well. Both of them have come out more confident and well rounded children. Thank you very much Tracey
and the entire team and special thanks to Charlotte and Claire for getting them both ready for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has just finished at Wollaton House Day Nursery and as she gets ready to start school, we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience for her. From the very beginning, she was made to feel safe, happy and loved. Over the years she has absolutely thrived. She has grown into a confident,
curious and independent little girl.


The nursery has played such a huge part in preparing her for this exciting next new chapter. Their range of activities, the learning opportunities and the nurturing family environment have all been wonderful.


The staff are truly incredible; so caring, supportive and genuinely invested in our child's development. We've always felt like valued partners throughout her journey and have always been able to collaborate with the nursery on any development areas we needed assistance with like potty or sleep training.


We will always be grateful for the amazing start Wollaton Day House Nursery has given her.

We've had such a wonderful experience with this nursery. Both of my boys went there and they loved it so much. The management and staff are truly excellent - professional, caring, and always approachable. It's clear how much effort they put into creating a nurturing, fun, and safe environment for the
children. My son loves going in every day, and we've seen so much growth in his confidence and development since he started. The nursery has turned him into a young reader and prepared him for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at Wollaton House now for around 3 years and is just about to leave. Our experience the entire way through has been nothing but brilliant.
Every single member of staff is a pleasure to deal with and our son absolutely loves going. Every time we pick him up he runs out with a smile
and loves to talk about his day which I think sums up the whole thing.
He's always been a bit shy, but every year he comes out more confident and has developed extraordinarily thanks to everyone's input here.
We're sad to leave as he enjoys it so much but he wouldn't be as prepared to start his next chapter without all of your help.
Thank you!

My son has been with Wollaton House since he turned one, and will be leaving for big school next month. He has absolutely loved his time there, and his development has been fantastic, I have no concerns around him starting school whatsoever. The staff have gone above and beyond and care about the children
so much. My child loves doing PE on Wednesdays and has enjoyed learning Spanish. Most importantly he's made a wonderful group of friends and has always been very happy at nursery. My daughter has also been going for the past year and is getting on great too. A lovely setting with wonderful staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Wollaton House Day Nursery when he was just 10 months old, and now at two years old, he has absolutely thrived in their care. The dedication and warmth of the staff are truly unmatched, making it the best decision we could have made for him. One of the things we love most is the independent
nature of the nursery and their efficient drop-off-at-the-door policy, which gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe and well cared for. The varied food menu is fantastic, and he enjoys every meal. It's such a comfort to know he is eating well while at nursery. Every morning, he is excited to be dropped off, and every evening, he comes home happy, which speaks volumes about the environment the team has created. He has moved through three different rooms so far, and in each one, the staff have been nothing short of incredible- caring, loving, and exactly what you would hope for in an independent nursery. Thank you all so much!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Wollaton House Day Nursery. Our little girl recently transitioned from the baby room to the toddler room, and the process was seamless. The staff have been incredibly professional, personable, and supportive, making sure she felt comfortable every step of
the way. It's wonderful to see her thrive in such a caring and stimulating environment. She has a fantastic time each day, making new friends and exploring exciting activities. We're truly grateful to the dedicated team for creating such a warm and nurturing space. Highly recommended for any parent looking for quality childcare!

We have had a really positive experience from the day we went to visit the nursery which has continued since our daughter started attending three days a week when she was 10 months old in March 2024. The staff are all very kind, helpful and welcoming and we got the impression quite quickly that the
nursery wanted the children attending to feel 'at home' there. The nursery itself had a very vibrant atmosphere in which the children could thrive and their development over the years was being monitored and recorded on a regular basis. The nursery staff have been really helpful in answering some of our queries regarding weaning and sleeping problems and they have become a valuable resource to us if ever we have a query or problem that we are going through regarding our daughter. Our daughter comes back from nursery in a really happy mood and we have no doubt that she has thoroughly enjoyed her day. We would recommend this nursery wholeheartedly.

The team at Wollaton House Day Nursery are fantastic and my little boy has absolutely flourished whilst there. The team's dedication, knowledge and enthusiasm every day is evident; I'm not sure how they manage to be so great every day! Our little'uns skills and knowledge have literally exploded since
he's been going and this is clear through his reading, communication, practical and social skills. He loves doing his little bits of homework and is always looking forward to the next day with his friends and the team.
The manager and the team are always happy to take the time to chat about any queries we have, being able to call on their extensive experience with kids is so helpful and reassuring! I know several 16+ year-olds who have very fond memories of going here in years gone by and they're all very happy + great young adults! In summary, we love this place and the team and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

We have 2 children at Wollaton House and they have been so happy there! It's a friendly, welcoming environment. The team go out of their way to ensure the children are nurtured and developed. They are attentive to individual needs, for example, my daughter's dietary needs. Both children have developed
independence skills (especially preparing our 4-year-old for school), as well as personal, social and educational- all of this development is carefully recorded and fed back to us during parent's evenings. We are very grateful!

Really amazing nursery and preschool. The team at Wollaton House were the first people we left our daughter with post-Covid and they made it such an easy experience. She settled in straight away and made so much progress in development as well as her social skills. The team at Wollaton House are always
friendly and seem to really know your child and their individual character. Our daughter would always talk about the staff and what funny things they did and would be really excited to tell them about things she had done or holidays she had been on. Would be comfortable recommending anyone sending their child to Wollaton House - it is run by a team of people who genuinely care and who go out of their way to make parents feel as comfortable as they do the children. Plus all of the little extras like the pictures and crafts that get sent home really make a huge difference and show how much care and focus they put into each child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved to the UK from South Africa for work and needed our son to go straight into a nursery. He had never been to a nursery school before so we were so nervous. I had multiple calls with the head who was just so lovely and reassuring to us sitting miles away and having to make a decision for a little
2-year-old. I had my sister (who is a teacher herself) visit many nursery schools in the area and when she walked into Wollaton House Day Nursery and met some of the teachers and saw the facilities, she instantly fed back that this was the one. Big decision for us to make having never met any of the teachers or seen the school, but goodness me have we been impressed. They have supported us through all sorts of milestones, have been there for advice, have done such a good job with teaching our son things I never thought a 3/4-year-old would grasp and have just been the loveliest bunch I have ever met. I could not recommend them more, have absolutely loved our 2 years with them!

She has developed so much in her time with them and has gained a special confidence that she continues to show every single day. The team are wonderful - open, honest and

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were very apprehensive to put our son in nursery as he hadn’t been cared for, for a length of time by anyone outside of immediate family. We were also worried how it would impact naps, eating and sleeping. During the introductory phase, the staff really showed their experience and supported me, as
well as my son. For us, our choice of nursery was focused on all the main tick boxes - development, nutrition, environment etc. but we also wanted our baby to feel welcomed, cared for and wanted which is the feeling we get from Wollaton House. It feels like he isn’t a number and amongst a close-knit team who always put the child first. Super efficient, communicative, experienced and kind. We are just coming up to a month and our son is happy and developing every day. How well he has settled has made my transition back to work so much easier and feel I can focus on my working day knowing he is well looked after, happy and safe. We’re keeping everything crossed this continues!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Wollaton House 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.921 for Wollaton House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.921
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wollaton House Day Nursery is based on 20 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
