Review from Katie M (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughters have both attended Twinkles Nursery Wetherby and have absolutely loved it. The staff genuinely care for and about the children and we have been made to feel part of a Twinkles Nursery Wetherby family. My younger daughter starts school in September and we will be very sad to say goodbye to the fantastic team.

Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All of the staff at Twinkles Nursery Wetherby are amazing. Both of my children have been to Twinkles Nursery Wetherby and have absolutely loved it. They do an amazing range of activities with the children and they have a great menu which has really expanded the range of food my children would eat. The staff are brilliant, they are all so loving and caring with the children and both my children have never had an issue going to any of the staff. I can’t recommend them enough.

A fabulous environment for my grandson to spend some time. The staff have been great in helping him to settle in and go the extra mile to make him feel secure, allowing him to explore and interact with new people, especially in the current climate. Well done everyone and thank you so much.

Overall Experience

Both of my little girls have loved their time at Twinkles Nursery Wetherby. The care they receive in all of the rooms is truly impressive. I am especially pleased with the amazing menus and quality of the food prepared from scratch and cooked on site. No wonder they have both thrived in the environment there. Thank you!

Overall Experience

My 2 children joined Twinkles when they were 2 and 3 and settled in straight away thanks to the amazing and welcoming staff throughout the setting! They have encouraged them over the last year and not only helped them to develop skills but also build confidence. I could not rate this nursery and the staff more highly! My daughter is now ready to start school but my son is looking forward to another happy year here!

Review from Katie Q (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been very impressed by Twinkles since our son started nursery, especially with the support we received during the pandemic (as we are both key workers). I was very apprehensive about returning to work and leaving my son at nursery but feel that all of the staff at Wetherby and the core team at Boston Spa have gone above and beyond to support the process. Each day there is a range of activities available aimed at stimulating and supporting our sons development, and we can already see how quickly he is flourishing.

Reply from Kirstie Stericker, at Kids Planet Wetherby

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that your little one is doing so well at Twinkles. We are very lucky to have some amazing staff teams and completely agree about the core team really did go above and beyond, we are very proud of them.

Review from Gillian A (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Twinkles Nursery is amazing. My son has been going there for 18 months. The staff have gone out of their way to help him settle and work with us to ensure his drop off went well (he was a little clingy and anxious). His key worker even changed her shift to be there for him.
During the Covid 19 pandemic, the nursery continued to have our son (due to both parents being key workers) on the days needed and were brilliant at keeping us up to date with all information.

They are always accommodating for our needs. So friendly so caring. Our son loves it. Thank you Twinkles!

Our son has been at Twinkles for the last two years and has really enjoyed his time there. He is a very happy, bright and sociable child and I put much of this down to the excellent care and stimulating environment of the nursery.

Overall Experience

Our son loves going to nursery and always enjoys telling me at the end of the day what he has been up to. They keep a track of their daily activities to recall to parents at the end of the day and keep them busy with a range of activities. Our son has come on leaps and bounds since starting and so glad we chose Wetherby Twinkles.

Review from Miles T (Father of Child) published on 13 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one goes 3 days a week and has flourished while at Twinkles, coming on leaps and bounds in confidence and language.
The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic, planning all manner of activities and events with the toddlers both inside and outdoors. Even as a parent, it is nice to come across the random events as they happen (recently ducklings were being hatched).
There is parking if needed, close by.
A brand new enclosed outdoor play area.
Meals prepared on site.
Useful services like "Sun Club" that will provide sunblock and hats in summer for a small subscription.

A Pram lock-up (very useful as I often walk down).

In short, I would be hard pressed to find a better nursery.

Review from Emma P (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been here since he was one. Throughout this time, I have been incredibly impressed by the standard of care overall and the staff, who are all first class. In each room, he has thrived in the environment. Staff are knowledgeable about the care they give and the development they provide.
I have felt completely assured that he is in the absolute best environment to encourage his development.
I will be sad for him to leave Twinkles and can only hope that he continues to be so well supported on his educational journey. During the last year, my partner and I separated. Nursery have been outstanding at supporting my son through this difficult time, supplying helpful books which 'normalised' the situation, helping him thrive despite the situation. They provide activities to stimulate learning, Forest Schools is excellent, as are play and sessions for parents.

I couldn't recommend them highly enough. They are an outstanding rated nursery and in my opinion, outstanding in every way.

Review from Sally M (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are incredibly happy with the care that our son receives at Twinkles Nursery. He is always excited to go and clearly enjoys each day there, coming home happy and tired out from all his activities.

We have been especially pleased with the way that all the staff, particularly his key worker in the baby stars room, have learnt new skills to communicate with him using baby sign, something which we were using at home and were keen to maintain during his days at nursery. This has been carried on in the rising stars room and is much appreciated. The love and care that they show him is wonderful and it is lovely to see the close bonds he has formed with them. We couldn't wish for better.

Overall Experience
I would highly recommend this friendly down to earth nursery with fantastic relatable staff in which professional relationships between parents and carers are easily forged.
My son attends Twinkles two days a week and he loves it. Nursery has brought him on leaps and bounds and he is developing so quickly. Twinkles have been so understanding about my son's medical conditions and never hesitate to ask me for further information to help with their understanding.

When choosing a nursery the manager at Twinkles gave us all the information we needed and went above and beyond by sign posting us to the child care choices website to find out what we were entitled to.

We are so impressed with Twinkles - Thank you!

Review from Charli W (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We heard so many good things about Twinkles in Wetherby before, so we always knew that it is the place our daughter. We enrolled our daughter immediately when she was born so that her place will be secured. She has been in the nursery for more than 6 months now and everything proved that it was a brilliant decision for us. She was well looked after by the key carer also the other staff in the room. Her development is reported by APP and parent meetings; either going or picking up, she is always happy. She also bonds with the staff. Both my husband and I know she is in safe hands while we are working. We both feel very lucky that Wetherby has such an outstanding nursery for our little one. We are 100% confidence to recommend this nursery to the local parents.

Overall Experience

We have recently placed our little girl in the very capable, friendly and nurturing hands of Twinkles Wetherby. From the day we looked around we knew it was the best place to leave our daughter - the staff could not do enough for us; our key worker is fabulous with her; the activities are engaging and educational; the food looks and smells amazing! We can’t fault Twinkles Wetherby and would be first to recommend it to anyone who is looking to place their child in a warm, happy environment, knowing when they pick their child up, they will have had the best day! Well done guys, keep it up!!

Louise Newsome Job Title: Nursery Manager
Louise Newsome

I am a proud mother of two independent, thriving boys who have pursued their unique interests with encouragement and determination. Supporting them on their journeys has been one of my greatest joys.

Coming from a family of carers—including my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who were all in the medical field—I have always been inspired by a love for nurturing and supporting others. This led me to a fulfilling career in childcare, where I managed a nursery for over 12 years, from 2008 to 2020.

Having travelled and lived across the globe, I deeply value diversity and inclusion. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of different cultures and ways of life, which I aim to incorporate into our nursery to help children embrace the world’s diversity as they grow and learn.

My focus will always be on providing the best possible care and opportunities for our children to thrive, whatever their individual abilities may be.
