Review from Jennet B (Mother of Child) published on 9 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My youngest has attended this nursery since he was five months old. (My eldest went to a different nursery).
We initially moved to Wollaton when my eldest was about to start school. When we found out we were having a second we immediately started looking at the local nurseries to see what was on offer.
We decided on Wollaton House for a number of reasons. Firstly it was the closest to our house!
Secondly, the staff and managers were friendly and welcoming. Thirdly all the kids there looked happy and well cared for. What more could you want!
We signed our youngest up before he was even born as I knew when I would be returning to work and being a smaller nursery we wanted to guarantee him a place.
Very happy with this nursery and the support they give to the children and parents.
Would definitely recommend.

Best nursery in the area by far. Very caring and clean. Good wholesome healthy food and there's always more for seconds! Excellent and bright, energetic staff and good staff retention which I find important as they become part of the family. Both male and female staff so it has a great vibe. Learning
facilities are really good and it's in a house so feels familiar and comfortable. The children are listened to. We love it, wouldn't go anywhere else!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my daughters have attended Wollaton House Day Nursery. My oldest is now at school and my youngest continues to attend the nursery. From the beginning, the staff and manager have always been welcoming, helpful and more than happy to have a chat with me to answer any questions or worries I may
have. Both of my daughters enjoy going to nursery and taking part in the wide range of different activities they do on a daily basis. Choosing the right nursery for my daughter's was a difficult decision, however, from the first visit to Wollaton House I knew this was the right place for them. The nursery is such a caring environment with all of the staff getting to know the children and building up a safe, secure and nurturing family environment for the children. Both my daughters have grown in confidence and their social, physical and educational needs have been met to a high standard. I have recommended this nursery to 2 friends and now their children attend the nursery.

My son has been attending Wollaton House Day Nursery for the last three years. Overall, I feel that this is an outstanding nursery with experienced management and staff that are motivated, loyal, caring and professional, placing the children’s well-being and development at the heart of everything they
do. The nursery itself is bright, clean, tidy and safe and provides a great learning environment for the children. Since joining the nursery, my son has developed in so many ways. He is more confident, independent and balanced and looks forward to going to nursery every day. Our experience of Wollaton House Day Nursery has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were looking for a place at a nursery at very short notice in May. We knew that some of our NCT friends were taking their two sons there and they were very happy. Therefore, we were very pleased to hear that they had a place for our 2 year old son. From the very first day when I went to have a look
around, it was a very warm and welcoming environment. The staff were very approachable, smiling and explained everything in detail. The staff is very understanding both with the kids and the parents; especially the first couple of weeks. My son's first language is not English, so we were very impressed when we were asked by the staff on how to pronounce a few words in my son's first language. They have also helped a lot him with his English! Wollaton House is a small nursery and has a real family feel and all the staff know all the children. My boy loves going to the nursery, even on the weekends and during summer holidays.

I have two very happy girls that attend Wollaton House Day Nursery and that is down to the most kind, caring and thoughtful staff. Wollaton House has a warm, family-friendly approach to their care and recognises the importance of individualised care. My oldest daughter has multiple food allergies which
was my main concern when she started nursery but since she has joined that concern has disappeared-the management and staff have given me the reassurance to trust in their exceptional care.
Management staff have been supportive and flexible in providing extra care and support and advice when needed.
I cannot thank the management and staff enough for everything they do to make my girls flourish.

Our daughter has attended Wollaton House Day Nursery for the last year, since the age of 1. We are so pleased that we chose this nursery for her, she is happy and settled there and the staff are all lovely, friendly and caring. The nursery has a real family feel and all the staff know all the children.
My little girl loves going to nursery and is developing and learning while she is there. They are also great at supporting me as a first time Mum and are happy to give me help and advice which is really appreciated. We feel so lucky that we've found such a great place for her.

Exceptional children’s nursery, where the staff are lovely and caring. The nursery has a homely feel to it with lots of play and educational activities for the children and a large outdoor play area. Also really liked the fact that they have a fully qualified teacher preparing the children for primary

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I enrolled our 10mth old daughter at Wollaton House after 2 visits, one out of hours and one with the children present. We had already made up our minds after the first visit - Wollaton House is like a home away from home and immediately felt right! My husband also commented that he could
easily see why it would be a fun and stimulating environment, giving us a baby's eye view to see all the things Wollaton House could offer our daughter. It is clean and bright but also cosy and reassuring with lots of different activities and toys for children to play with. The carers have always been smiling and warm, and the manager has been really accommodating with a pair of first-time parents who naturally want to make sure we are sending our child to the right place. We have no regrets and all indicators suggest our daughter loves it there and is extremely well looked after. We particularly loved that children are always the priority here and their safety and security are paramount.

From our first visit, I felt that Wollaton House Day Nursery would be the best setting for our daughter and she does indeed enjoy each day. The nursery is of an ideal scale, homely but also with excellent facilities inside and out. The range of activities on offer is vast and the nursery walls are bursting
with the children’s latest drawings/crafts and achievements. Importantly, all the staff are extremely welcoming, caring and knowledgeable. They take a genuine interest in each child and tailor their care and learning objectives accordingly. I would recommend this nursery to friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wollaton House Day Nursery (WHDN) for myself and my son was like a second home. After visiting many nurseries, I knew immediately that WH was for us. The environment was clean, the staff were relaxed and friendly and it had an overall feeling of homeliness.
My son attended from 9 mths - 5 yrs and
I was extremely happy with both the care and education that he received. Rooms were filled with stimulating toys which allowed the children to learn through a variety of play activities, as well as a more structured education as he grew.
I was informed of my son’s daily activities, diet, rest times and any additional information. I built up a good rapport with the staff, who were always available to answer any questions that I had. Staff worked hard to ease any transition throughout the years at WH.
My son enjoyed going to nursery every day and formed great relationships and strong bonds with his key workers.
I was completely happy with the ‘family feel’ at WH and I wouldn’t consider any other nursery for my children.

Wollaton House Day Nursery is a brilliant nursery. The staff are very friendly and it’s very clear as soon as you walk through the door that all of the children’s best interests are the key to each and every staff members priorities. The manager is very helpful and friendly which makes it easier when
dropping off my nephew. They have a wide variety of freshly cooked food choices and cater for all dietary requirements. The new extension looks brilliant, creating more open space for the children whilst giving them space for outside play. I know that the parents are kept well informed daily and through frequent parent evenings. I would not hesitate to recommend sending any child to this nursery - brilliant care and service all round.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We found looking for a nursery very daunting and didn’t really like any, until we found Wollaton House Day Nursery and instantly felt relieved and wanted our son to go there. It’s got a homely setting and the staff are absolute superstars, providing outstanding and genuine care for every child. The
manager is brilliant, very approachable, runs the nursery to the best standard and ensures we are fully informed.


There is a great mix of play and learning, but most importantly it’s always done in a fun and engaging setting for the children. We have 2 boys and it’s clear to see the staff adapt their approach and engage with each individual child to meet their needs and likes.


Our sons are very happy at the nursery and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Our eldest starts school this year and he is fully prepared for the transition. Nursery have ensured all the children are ready, giving them the best possible start.

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.
