Review from Stefan L (Father of Child) published on 22 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My daughter recently transitioned down to preschool and is coming on leaps and bounds with her confidence and general settling in.
It’s such a joy to pick her up from her session knowing she’s so settled and having so much fun!
All the girls at nursery are brilliant with the children.

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.

I couldn’t be happier that we chose Yellow Wellies to look after our baby! I had major reservations about leaving my baby after maternity leave, but seeing how well my baby has been cared for and how she is valued has shown me my fears were unfounded. The building is lovely, the toys and facilities
in each room are great, it’s very clean, and the rooms are bright and airy. The building is filled with laughter all day, and that tells you everything you need to know. The staff are outstanding. So welcoming, friendly and caring - people who were born to do the job they are doing. They got to know my baby very quickly and helped her settle immediately so that even from day one, she didn’t mind me leaving and wasn’t even bothered when I came to collect her. She’s so happy. Communication is excellent, and I get a thorough debrief at the end of each day. We truly feel part of the Yellow Wellies family, and they are now part of ours.

We are absolutely over the moon that we were recommended Yellow Wellies for our under-1-year-old!
The settling days were brilliant and included a full hour entitled “All about me”, which enabled us both to share vital and important information with staff about our baby. The team really do make you
feel part of the Yellow Wellies family and you are greeted every morning and evening by staff who quickly let you know how our baby has been and what they have been up to!
We get daily updates via an app, indicating feeds, sleep and fun times too.
I can honestly say, that the recommendation we received was 100% accurate, Yellow Wellies is an absolutely fantastic place for our little one to be, while we are at work!

Yellow Wellies Nursery is an absolutely perfect nursery; the staff are all lovely, kind and patient with the kids, and the love and attention they give to each individual child is unparalleled.
When my daughter first started, she was shy and timid and never really played with other kids much due to
lockdowns, and now she is as bright as a button, always eager to be in to see her friends (staff included!), and she will greatly miss being a part of the Yellow Wellies family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Yellow Wellies 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.923 for Yellow Wellies Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (414 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 442 Ratings = 4.923
  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 Yellow Wellies Day Nursery is based on 37 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 37 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.
