Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A fantastic nursery that has truly helped our little one flourish both socially and educationally.
The staff are fantastic and form real caring bonds with each of the children which you can see through every interaction.
The facility offers a wide variety of experiences for the kids, where they can
explore and interact in a safe environment whether as a group or on their own.
The regular updates received through the app give you a constant and valued insight into your little ones time there as well as offering a one stop tool for all your admin needs.
The food available offers a wide variety of choice for the children as well as the opportunity to explore new, sometimes international, dishes that they may otherwise not get the chance to.
Overall a fantastic nursery and excellent value for money in every aspect.

My little boy joined Wonderland Day Nursery in Feb 2025. I couldn't recommended this nursery enough. The staff are so kind, caring, and attentive - I can see how much they genuinely care for him. He is always so well looked after, enjoys delicious meals, they go on lots of adventures. As a parent, it
gives me so much peace of mind knowing he is happy, safe, and thriving in such a wonderful environment. I couldn't ask for a better place for him to grow and learn.

My daughter attended 2 other nurseries before Wonderland, and visited a couple but none were on par with how quickly she became comfortable at this nursery! Especially because she was very attached to me, I was surprised to see her happily playing from day one (no tears!). I haven't had major incidents
and it was that good I've even got my son enrolled as well!!
There's nothing more comforting to a parent than knowing your children are happy, well cared for and equally learning at a very good pace. Highly recommend this nursery!

My Son has been at Wonderland since he was 9 months old, he's now 3 and about to move into the Preschool at the nursery. He has thrived whilst being here, we regularly receive updates into his Learning and development, and love how the nursery regularly take trips out to the local park ' exploring '
and love how they encourage outside play. He has made great bonds with all staff and (since he started ) have had catch ups with both his baby room and his toddler key worker. The hard work all staff put in to each child clearly reflects on their ofstead report! I couldn't recommend wonderland enough.

This is the most incredible nursery with excellent care for all children. The staff are patient and loving and very educated on up-to-date research on how best to support children and help them thrive. Excellent communication with parents through an app with regular messages, photos and updates on activities.
Excellent variety of food provided, reasonable prices and very good variety of trips and extra activities for children such as themed parties and trips to local children's destinations (the zoo, brockholes etc)


Absolutely recommend!

Our little one started when he was only 7 months old and we love it. Such a brilliant nursery, all the staff are amazing. He's come on amazingly since starting at Wonderland Day Nursery. This was the only Nursery we looked at as well, the minute we looked around we just knew it was the nursery for him.

All three of my children have been to this nursery and they've all loved it. It's such a warm and caring place, with a really supportive atmosphere. There are always lots of fun and interesting activities, and the staff are great. A lot of the staff have been there for a long time, which makes a big
difference as the children feel safe and settled. We're really happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend it to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been with this nursery through baby room, toddler room and now Pre School. The nursery blew us away even from the first visit, me and my fiancé knew instantly our son would thrive here. Our son is quite shy and reserved; I was initially worried he would struggle with the social aspect. However,
nursery teachers have been exceptional with him and so patient; allowing him to flourish and develop meaningful relationships with his peers and teachers. My son loves it here, we feel confident leaving him in their care. Knowing he is cared for, enjoying time with his friends and taking time in fun and educationally meaningful activities. His learnt experiences at nursery continue at home where he confidently demonstrates concepts he's learnt. The nursery allow him to go at his own pace, giving him encouragement when needed and space to think when appropriate. He has come on leaps and bounds throughout his years here. We are so grateful that we chose this nursery for him<3

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wonderland Day Nursery is absolutely wonderful. The staff are knowledgeable, kind, empathetic, understanding, caring, kind and positive role models to our children.
The setting is clean and age appropriate for each of the different age groups that attend.
The children get to experience days out
to the park, feeding ducks, walks to the shops and surrounding areas along with other planned trips and activities.
Staff always update you about your child on the app and at pick up time, they also encourage parent observations so your children can continue to progress well to the best of their ability.
The meals provided for the children are well thought out and healthy. They also ask for ideas when changing menus. This is so the children can experience food like they do at home too! Such a lovely idea!
We have used Wonderland for two children and we really think it's amazing in every way.. so do our little ones!

A truly magical place for little ones!
We feel incredibly lucky to have our daughter at Wonderland Day Nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where children can thrive.


The teachers are not only professional and attentive

but also genuinely kind and nurturing. It's clear how much they care about every child's individual needs and development. Our daughter has blossomed since starting here - she's more confident, social, and excited about learning every day.


The activities are creative, fun, and thoughtfully planned to support both learning and play. Whether it's arts and crafts, storytelling, outdoor play, or early learning skills, there's always something engaging going on. She comes home with the biggest smile, full of stories and new things she's learned.

A lovely team of girls with a calm, happy environment, my daughter went here and thrived in their care so I knew straight away I wanted my son to go as well. He has settled in so well and formed a lovely bond with the girls he enjoys delicious nutritious meals and lots of lovely activities and walks.
I can't recommend this nursery enough thank you!

My daughter has been attending Wonderland Day Nursery since she was 9 months old - she's now 3 - and I couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives. The staff are incredibly kind, nurturing, and professional, and it's clear that they genuinely care about the children. They've helped her
grow in confidence, independence, and creativity. She looks forward to going in every day, which speaks volumes! Communication is excellent - I'm always kept up to date with her progress, daily activities, and any important updates. The team is approachable and responsive, which gives me peace of mind as a parent. I'm truly grateful for the positive, safe, and stimulating environment that Wonderland provides. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for high-quality early years care. It's been a fantastic place for her to start her journey.

My daughter loves this nursery! The caring, patient, and truly amazing staff take the children on park outings, explore local facilities, spend lots of time outdoors, grow fruit and veg, cook and bake, and even raise caterpillars to butterflies and chickens from eggs! They fully accommodate her milk
allergy with great care. After lunch, calm music helps the children relax and nap. Communication is perfect and fast, and the owner, always goes above and beyond to help, even with extra or emergency days. Highly recommend!

All three of my children have attended this nursery, and I genuinely couldn't recommend it more highly. From day one, it has felt like a home-from-home environment, warm, welcoming, and nurturing in every way. The staff are not only professional but incredibly caring and attentive to each child's individual
needs. It's clear how much effort they put into creating a safe, stimulating, and loving atmosphere. My children have all thrived here socially, emotionally, and academically and have always looked forward to going in each day. As a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, well cared for, and genuinely loved when you're not with them. This nursery has given us that peace of mind for years, and we're so grateful to have been a part of it.

Our son has been there for a year and will be returning for another two from September. We have been nothing but impressed with Wonderland Nursery. The staff are friendly, helpful and kind and our son is loving it there! The activities during the day are very varied and I love that staff prioritise
outdoor play. The food is also excellent quality and staff try to cater to different taste preferences, along with considering the cultural background of all children. The communication home is excellent and there are regular updates about naps, food consumption and toileting as well as progress updates. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work; the 'Outstanding' rating from OFSTED was well deserved!

Having sent my older children to this nursery and pre-school it only seemed fit to send our 2 year old to the same nursery this time round. We honestly would not have chosen anywhere else, all of the staff are lovely, welcoming and so caring. You know it's a good business when they don't have a high
turnover of staff! The relationships they build with the little ones is really good, they do all of the necessary checks throughout your child being there and always help with any issues or advice around potty training or behaviour. The rooms are clean and tidy and the outdoor area has plenty for the children to explore, especially with the activities the staff create for them to do to work on their fine motor skills! 10/10 we always recommend

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) out of 10 for Wonderland Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 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 4.983 for Wonderland Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.983
  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 Wonderland 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 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, 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.
