Review from Lucy M (Mother of Child) published on 1 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since my little girl started Yellow Wellies in April she has come on leaps and bounds, I was nervous about leaving her to go back to work after maternity leave however the staff were so understanding and helpful and the parent app is amazing, keeping me informed all day how she is doing and settles my anxiety quickly.

Staff are always welcoming, and caring, make a fuss of my daughter and we get an update at pick-up time. My daughter now goes into nursery, happy, content and comfortable with people she has a fantastic relationship with. We can't praise the nursery enough!

Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child started nursery in October 2024, the process of integrating him in has gone well and the staff were really helpful with sorting the new government funding. He has found the handovers hard on a morning but they are always helpful with supporting me and making it less painful to leave. My only very small issue was on his very first full morning the member of staff that greeted us at his room wasn't one he knew, so he was upset and she also wasn't aware she had a new child starting that day. It would have made us as parents feel much better knowing that the staff were expecting him and ready to accommodate how new it all was to him.

My other small issue is the cost of food/creams etc that is extra. I understand there are a lot of hidden costs and staffing costs that parents may not always take into account, but I feel the money we pay per day is quite steep.

Overall Experience
Our little girl is thriving at Yellow Wellies!
From our initial look around, to induction days, to now, all of the staff have been super helpful, and caring and they have a nothing is a bother approach. We know that our daughter is completely loved, nurtured and looked after, every time she is at nursery.
We enjoy our parent app updates throughout the day too, especially the pictures! We also love the variation of activities and also food during mealtimes, that our daughter is experiencing on her nursery adventure.

Thank you for being the best, we think the absolute world of you, we appreciate you all and feel so lucky to be a part of the Yellow Wellies family.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at this nursery in January 2024 and all I can say is wow! What an amazing improvement she's made over the months. I found it so difficult leaving her behind as I struggled to leave her and she hated being apart from me, but the lengths the girls go to are beyond amazing. I couldn't be more grateful, to be honest. I'm so pleased with how far she's come along. I mean she's practically running to them now, she absolutely loves being there. The staff and the rest of the team are miracle workers. They are so friendly, hard-working and will help your child no matter what obstacle, they overcome it every time. Even when it comes to allergies they are so careful and professional. I couldn't ask for a better nursery! The managers are also so great and so bubbly and friendly and will go above and beyond to help you. I personally feel very lucky to have my daughter go here. Thank you Yellow Wellies you really are one in a million.

Review from Stefan L (Father of Child) published on 22 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery and staff have been amazing from day 1. Helping us transition from not needing them at all, to relying on them to help raise our daughter.
The staff are all lovely and can't do enough for you. Last minute changes, working around our schedules, just genuinely caring about us and our little girl. Making us feel comfortable and in the knowledge that she is well looked after and in the safest of hands.
Seeing the hard work, love a dedication the staff put into their jobs and the children and personal care and attention to each child is commendable.
My daughter has built up some lovely relationships with other children and the staff which is lovely to see. She has also come along so much due to the help and support of the staff.

I can't thank the staff we have engaged with at Yellow Wellies enough, you all do an amazing job.

Review from C W (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Professional nursery with a high standard of care. My daughter, of 11 months attends Yellow Wellies 5 days a week from September 2024. She has Spina Bifida and requires extra care and support with her disability, the staff go above and beyond to make sure her physio programme is adhered to and will attend different training to deliver the best care. All activities are planned to cater for each individual child and their needs. I know my daughter is loved and looked after when I leave that nursery each morning. We cannot thank them enough for what they do.

Overall Experience

My 2 year old has been going to Yellow Wellies for a few months now and she has come on amazingly. The skills she has learned and hearing her tell me about her days and the excitement is amazing to see. The staff are amazing and genuinely care about the kids in their care. My 1 year old has just started and I can't wait to see how she flourishes too.

Amazing set of staff, nothing is ever too much for them. My child has come along amazingly since he started going there and couldn't thank the team enough! My child once would never let me leave without a fuss but now runs straight to them and it means the world to see him so happy and thriving in nursery!

Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing nursery, our little one started earlier this year and they couldn't really talk or communicate with us. They have come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are extremely supportive of our home needs. And I'll be sad when they move on to primary school. It's absolutely brilliant and would highly recommend.

Overall Experience
My little girl started nursery a month ago and was a bit unsure however the girls at Yellow Wellies have gone above and beyond to make sure she has the best time and she is getting more comfortable every week and gets excited when we mention it's her nursery days.
She is learning so much and really enjoying her time there. I am constantly updated with pictures and notes on how she's doing with is so lovely and comforting to me as this is my first baby going to nursery so was a bit anxious myself

Couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Overall Experience

Since starting the nursery a year ago my son has grown so much socially and developmentally. The staff go above and beyond to support the children and parents, and they make you feel welcome right from opening the door. They are so amazing at what they do, both of my children leave with big smiles on their faces and are excited to go back the next day. I can’t fault the staff or the nursery’s facilities and equipment at all, and I can’t thank them enough for how much they have helped my son come out of his shell.

Overall Experience

Yellow Wellies is a brilliant nursery. All of the staff are fantastic. They are very welcoming at drop-off time and provide a thorough handover when I pick my son up, so I know how his day has been. They also regularly put updates on the nursery app throughout the day. The staff have been great at supporting my son at nursery and have really helped with his development. The nursery provides an excellent variety of indoor and outdoor activities and puts an emphasis on making learning fun. My son always enjoys his time there. My daughter also attended Yellow Wellies before starting school. The nursery really helped prepare her for school, where she continues to thrive.

My little boy has attended Yellow Wellies since June 2022 and he loves it. He has come on leaps and bounds since he started and it's all down to the fantastic ladies who help to take care of him. We get updates throughout the day via the app which I love so I can see what he's been getting up to every day.
