Most things I liked about the nursery:
- Picking up a happy child from nursery as she had an enjoyable time there with lots of activities.
- Easy communication with the staff and receiving feedback from staff.
- All the staff are motivated and guided by a dedicated manager.
- English is our second
language and I have never felt that this was an issue at nursery.

Both our children went to this nursery. You couldn't ask for a better nursery - it's like you drop them off to family, the care is so good. They set clear behaviour standards for the children and make everything fun, so the ideal combination. They prepare the children really well for school. I think
the fact that the owner's son goes to the nursery is a testament to how it is run and the family ethos. There's been continuous investment over the years into the building and equipment. The majority of staff have been there for several years so there is a very low staff turnover - again creating that loving family environment. I know several people who've stayed in touch with the nursery long after their children have left. Nursery is not cheap - but you get what you pay for and I wouldn't hesitate to make this investment in our two children's start in life again at Wollaton House Day Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Wollaton House in July 2021 and due to moving out of the area recently, we had to make the tough decision to move to another nursery. We definitely didn't want to as he loved it so much! As a lockdown baby, he found the first few months particularly difficult but he got settled in
and all the staff were very reassuring. There is a real sense of family among the staff as some have worked there for many years. They are definitely old school with everything done on paper, however, emails are responded to extremely promptly and nothing is too much trouble. At Christmas, we were surprised with a beautiful book containing lots of arts and crafts that our son had done in the year. Talking to other friends whose children go to larger nurseries, this isn't very common as they don't always have the time to do these things. We were very touched. Overall, the staff are very loving and caring towards the children and they nurture their interests through play and learning.

I’d done a lot of research on nurseries beforehand and came across Wollaton House as firstly having an Ofsted report but also some great reviews on this site. The manager and the team are just amazing and clearly so caring towards my child and passionate about her development. The care they give her
is incredible, to the point where my child loves going to nursery and doesn’t even wave bye to me anymore!
All in all, this is a great nursery with a great sense of community.

My daughter has been at Wollaton House Day Nursery since she was a year old and seems to love it! The staff have all been amazing and my daughter is always happy to see them (sometimes so much she forgets to say bye to me!). Parents' evenings are every 6 months and are really useful, but any questions
between this are always answered with no problems.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Wollaton House Day Nursery since 10-months-old and she's nearly 5 and we have all loved every minute of it. The overall experience from start to finish has been amazing and I have nothing but a very high positive opinion of the comfort, support, care, teaching and positivity.
All staff in every room throughout the years have been a key influence in my child's progression. The management team are very informative, supportive and very professional but still in keeping with the family's feeling of home from home. I and my child have felt safe and secure from the off, given that the experience can be daunting for new parents I immediately felt an overwhelming sense of trust and care. I am more saddened that this year my child leaves and moves on to school as both of us will miss the whole of Wollaton House Day Nursery, everything they offer definitely goes above and beyond all expectations.

Wollaton House has offered us such huge support for us and our son who has special needs. They have taken on the challenges as if he is their own and have been unrelenting in helping him to progress inside and out of the nursery setting. We feel like they know our son well and have gone above and beyond
to meet his needs.

My daughter has been attending Wollaton House Day Nursery since just before her first birthday she is now two and a half.
She absolutely loves it, at first I was worried about leaving her with strangers but the manager and the team were brilliant with her.
We started with half a day and are now
on four days out of five.
We never have tears at drop off and she runs in without a second look at me.
I’m so happy we found this nursery it’s a perfect fit for my family.
The parent's evenings are friendly and informative and you can always contact the manager if you have a problem.
Would give more stars if I could.
Thank you Wollaton House for making childcare so easy and non-stressful.

Wollaton House Day Nursery is amazing! I cannot recommend them enough. My son used to go to a childminder and I wasn't impressed, he has been at Wollaton House Day Nursery for almost a year now and he is thriving. He loves going, doesn't even say bye to me anymore, just runs through. All staff are loving
and kind towards children and you can tell they have a real passion for teaching. I'd choose Wollaton House over and over again.

Firstly I would like to say that I wish there were more star options as they deserve more than 5!
We enrolled our daughter here in September last year. She was a lockdown baby, born in April 2020. She had many hang ups about new people and being away from me, normal for babies but extreme for lockdown
babies.
From the first phone call, the manager put me at ease and I was fairly sold even before seeing the nursery itself.
They took the time and had the patience to integrate her into the absolutely fabulous surroundings that they offer. She settled within a week and now walks in on her own and doesn’t look back.
They have separate, very well thought out areas to cater for each age group, they are constantly engaged with the children and my daughter always comes out in the evening with some kind of art work, new dance or a newly learned song.
It is clean and has a freshly prepared varied weekly menu. They bring you into the family and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my daughter

Staff are friendly, caring, responsible and take pride in their work.
My lad has benefitted hugely from the nursery's ability to teach him how to be independent and communicate correctly and the nursery strikes a great balance between care and discipline.
We plan to send our daughter in the coming
months.
The staff make this nursery the success that it is.

I couldn't be happier with having chosen to send my daughter to Wollaton House Day Nursery. She was settled really well with the lovely staff and it's clear she gets a great level of input and stimulation during the day.
Meals are cooked on-site and are varied, and my daughter seems to really enjoy
eating there.
Overall great place, recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and personal nursery for their child.

My daughter went to Wollaton House Day Nursery for over 2 years before she started school. I went to several nurseries in the area, before I chose this nursery and I never regretted about my decisions. the cleanliness is impeccable which is truly rare in other nurseries, the manager kept parents well
informed and communication, in general, was very clear.
My daughter always looked happy at the end of the day and she loved her key persons. She developed great drawing skills and progressed a lot in numeracy and grammar.

After attending a large chain nursery in Wollaton for a year we moved our son to Wollaton House in July 2020 after lockdown lifted. This was the best decision we could have made, our once shy, quiet little boy has blossomed. His confidence to speak to adults and ask the most inquisitive questions about
the world is so lovely. I feel the care he receives is very tailored as it’s a smaller nursery and the staff know all the children personally. They are taught real-life skills and they are given guidelines on how to interact with other children and solve conflicts. The in-house teacher has developed his writing, numbers, and phonics skills so well and when he starts school this September he will have started to read simple words on his own. Our son will also be prepared emotionally for school as Nursery have explained the process to them. As parents we feel safe dropping our son off at nursery and we know he has a great time with his friends as he always tells us about the lovely themed activities.

I am just so thankful for everyone at Wollaton House Day Nursery. From the warm welcome to the love and care they give to my son. I have no worries when I drop my son off. The person he's growing into with the confidence he's gained is just lovely to see and his development also has been amazing. This

I can't say enough great things about Wollaton House Day Nursery. Our little girl has absolutely flourished since she started attending. She was already a confident and independent child but now even more so and she just loves the days when she gets to go and play at nursery. The staff are always warm,
welcoming and there to talk to whenever you need to discuss anything. We were concerned that her speech wasn't developing and Wollaton House Day Nursery were so supportive with practical and tangible advice to support her development and also us as overly concerned parents!

I visited many nurseries before Wollaton House Day Nursery but as soon as I walked through the door I knew it was the one for my daughter. A warm homely feel, lovely staff and the feeling that the children were at the forefront of everything and I was definitely right. My daughter absolutely loves her
time at nursery, the staff are so caring and lovely and I’m pretty sure if my little one was older she would talk about it non stop! They not only make my daughter happy but make me happy knowing how safe and well cared for she is.

This is the first nursery our daughter has attended. We felt a little anxious initially as our daughter (20 months) had been very clingy post lockdown. But I was shown around the nursery and was given a very thorough insight into how the nursery typically runs and felt a great sense of relief, our daughter
does still get upset when dropped off but due to the nursery staffs experience, professionalism and dedication this is getting less with each visit. She is coming on leaps and bounds and we have Wollaton House Day Nursery partly to thank for that.

My experience at this nursery has been excellent and although my child is now at school we both miss the site and staff. I feel it is a home away from home and enabled me to continue working but still giving my child the best start I could, and feeling relaxed about it.
The pre-school environment prepared
my boy for school in terms of confidence, manners, reading and writing. I really couldn't have asked for more.
Staff and children are welcoming and experienced and helped my child when with them but also me as a single mother by having the time for me to talk about how I feel or what I need and I valued all of their input.
My child has grown up with the staff and feel he will be able to negotiate life due to the skills taught at Wollaton House. As most children we have had a couple of issues but the nursery manager was always supportive and worked with me to work with my child and ensure his learning was consistent at both nursery and home.
We worked together and I would recommend them to all.

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.
