Review from Gabriella B (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The best; loving, caring nursery for miles. Absolutely fantastic care and staff in all rooms. I have 3 children and will be starting my 3rd in toddlers soon and my other two sons love their time there. They always come out so happy and the staff take all my worries away. There aren't words to describe how fantastic each and every staff member is including the chef who prepares the most delicious meals! Wouldn't want anyone else looking after my little ones. Everyone goes above and beyond for your children and I would be lost without them.

I would highly recommend The Wendy House Day Nursery, the manager and all the staff are so friendly and have helped my daughter settle in really well in the toddler room. It's so lovely seeing her going in with a smile and being happy.

Overall Experience
The Wendy House is simply amazing. They've gone above and beyond my expectations of being inclusive. My son has had extra health requirements throughout his 18 months of going there, and every staff member has shown a genuine interest in his well-being.
The nursery keep parents in the loop with absolutely everything, including letting you know what activities and learning they have been doing every day and week.

The menu is also fantastic.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks for your lovely review it means a lot to us. It’s been a pleasure to care for him and we were glad that he could come and enjoy nursery with the rest of his age group that in turn enabled his social and emotional development to thrive too.

My daughter has been attending nursery since she was 7 months old, now in the toddler room she has developed so much and absolutely loves it there.

The menu provided is great and provides a good variety of foods. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and keep you informed about what the children have been doing that day/week. I can’t fault the nursery at all and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Overall Experience

I have 2 children at The Wendy House Day Nursery. My son started here during lockdown. The kindness and warmth, thoroughness and transparency of the staff and their approach completely put me at ease leaving my son there. After having my daughter and needing to go back to work I had no reservations sending her here too! Not only had my daughter settled amazingly, she is genuinely excited and beams at being collected at the door during drop off to go into the baby room! The app they use means keeping in touch and having updates is really easy. The staff are really honest with updates on the children. I love seeing them having a great time when I go to collect them from their respective rooms.

Thanks for your lovely feedback its much appreciated and we are happy that the children enjoy nursery so much.

We moved my little boy to The Wendy House twelve months ago so he could also start school nursery in the afternoons.

Nothing but praise for the staff, especially two members of staff in particular who are wonderful! Mary Poppins's of North Wales!

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Well thanks for your lovely feedback, we haven’t been called that before... only wish we could tidy the playrooms with a click of a finger as she does! It’s been a pleasure having him and he settled so well it’s gone so quickly. Good luck in 'big school.'

Review from Jordanne N (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The best nursery around the Flintshire area! My two children attend The Wendy House. They look forward to the days that they go. My little boy used to get upset leaving me at the front door but the staff would always update me and send pictures to reassure me that he was happy and settled once he was in his room. He now walks off and waves goodbye with no issues due to the girls making an amazing bond with him. He adores them all. You can see the staff and management's genuine care that they have for all of the children. I love seeing all of the activities that both my children do when they are there through the app which I love. Sometimes my daughter doesn’t want to leave but that just makes me more happy in a way to know that she’s having the best time. I would recommend The Wendy House to anyone and will be very sad to leave when the children attend school! Thank you Wendy House for everything you are doing to help my children learn and grow.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much for these lovely comments. The children have settled brilliantly and we do have very genuine caring staff and each child is cared for as an individual and it’s lovely to see them develop and grow each day they are with us.

Review from Katie T (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Cannot recommend The Wendy House Day Nursery highly enough. The manager and her team are outstanding. My little girl has been doing just one full day a week for the last eight months which we were worried may mean she would find it hard to settle with a week between visits but, after a few settling in sessions, she runs in with barely a backward glance and enjoys a full day of activities, crafts, play, music and lots of delicious home-cooked food and snacks - which of course she eats all of, unlike at home!

The team have always gone above and beyond to accommodate us in terms of Covid anxieties and their communication is great. I leave my little girl in their care without any worries for the full day and know she’s safe, well looked after and having a fabulous time with her friends and the staff who really do care about your child.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much, lovely feedback. She really loves her one day a week at nursery and is on the go all day!

Overall Experience

I have two children attending The Wendy House at the moment and are settled and happy there. My 3-year-old can have separation anxiety and struggle to leave me in the mornings however the staff at The Wendy House are extremely attentive to her and are 10/10 and so supportive. Will be sad to see my children move on as they get older.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, we too will miss the children when the time comes for them to go to school.

Review from H A (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at The Wendy House really are second to none! My youngest is currently in the baby room and has some additional medical needs which all the girls have become really knowledgeable about and are very supportive of his ongoing treatment. Staff also get to know each child's personality and little quirks so well and talk about them with such fondness that they almost feel like family! Even staff in other rooms know your child and say hello, it's really heartwarming! My eldest moved onto school last September and has thoroughly enjoyed going back to Holiday Club and seeing his favourite 'teachers' from Red Group! The food and daily activities are great and I particularly love how much outdoor play they get even in inclement weather. One slight negative is that I find the billing difficult to follow and would prefer a simpler, more transparent invoicing system, although I'm sure this isn't helped by the complicated funding system that is currently in place!

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford
Hi, thanks for those lovely comments. It’s so hard for Mum to leave babies at times and with additional medical needs this only adds to that, we are so glad that you are reassured by the care he is receiving.

The invoicing (around the childcare offer) is all dependent on the method used by the...

Overall Experience

As a covid baby, our daughter found going to nursery really difficult. The staff were great with her and were very patient giving her lots of cuddles. She now absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are very friendly and show genuine care and affection to the children. Our daughter has made lots of new friends at nursery and has become a very confident little girl.

Thanks for your lovely comments, settling has been a little more challenging for Covid babies but so glad she has settled and enjoys nursery so much.

I find everything at The Wendy House holds so many activities and learning facilities for children of this day in age, they participate and get involved with day-to-day events like world book day, St David’s day, pancake day, etc. I find the environment is established for the age range and the staff are always on hand for support and emotional well-being. I cannot express how much The Wendy House has helped and supported not only my own child but others too.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Hi, thanks for your lovely review, we do feel your little one has come on so well since coming to us and he really enjoys coming into the nursery.

Overall Experience

My son (one) has been at The Wendy House for two months now and is so far, loving every second of it. He really seems to like being handed over to his key worker and he comes home a very happy kind of tired every day. We've really noticed a change in his personality and skills in a short space of time which we owe to the kind, caring and creative staff. He loves the food he is having which is home-cooked and full of variety. We get a full report of his daily activities every day and we love that they take him outdoors to see the sheep and horses etc. So far we couldn't fault the place.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks for your lovely feedback, it’s really appreciated. Being up in the lovely countryside gives us the opportunity to go on walks in the fresh air and see the horses and sheep in the fields up here which the children love. Wendy

Review from Alison K (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have our 2 children in The Wendy House. They have been attending for 1 year. Our eldest spent a whole year at home during lockdown and our youngest was born during that period. The transition to nursery followed unprecedented times and it was done with care, understanding and consideration for both children and parents. Both settled really well which is exceptional in the context! The staff are very caring and know the children and their personalities really well. Our children talk about the staff and it is clear there is a really good bond. They are excited to go in the morning! There is an app so you get lots of pictures and that shows a huge range of activities. I've found it positive to speak to the owner and the manager with experience of many, many years of working with children. As a parent, each stage is a 'first' so that has been helpful on occasion. We've all had a very positive, happy nursery experience so far.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much for your positive comments we are really happy that we can help and advise when needed. It was a difficult period as children have been in lockdown so also a first for us, children going from being at home hardly seeing anyone to mixing with lots of other children and viruses! That said, they have both settled so well and really enjoy nursery.

Review from Stephen R (Father of Child) published on 12 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lovely, caring, friendly staff, high standard of cleanliness, efficiently run, very good communication, healthy freshly cooked meals every day. (Our son talks about the tasty food cooked by the chef, every time we pick him up). They always have varied activities and practical play experiences. Our son attended from the age of two and a half and had his last day last week at the age of nearly four and a half. He has loved every day spent at The Wendy House. He has always spoken fondly of all the team that have cared for him and played with him. He will hopefully be returning to the High 5 club in the school holidays, so he can keep in touch with the friends he has made. I honestly could not find anything negative to say about the quality of care that the team at the Wendy House provide. Professionally operated by a caring team.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

My daughter has attended the nursery for 2 years. Staff have always been friendly and approachable. My daughter has enjoyed going every day and I have felt confident in leaving my daughter in their care. I am actually sad that she is leaving now. The parents' app that the nursery use is brilliant for sharing photos and what they have done that week, it is handy to check and see what they are going to have for their meals and it makes communication with the staff in the room and the manager easy. I have recommended this nursery to numerous other mums.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended The Wendy House for 3 years and 4 months. It really is a brilliant nursery. During the pandemic, sensible decisions were made that were not over the top. The staff are absolutely amazing and are a credit to the nursery. My daughter has grown up to be a happy and confident girl with lots of friends and a great imagination - a big part of that is down to the nursery. I'm going to be extremely sad when she leaves for school in a few weeks. I wish she could stay there forever!

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks for your lovely comments. It's always such a pleasure to play a part in your child's most formative years. It's been a challenge through the pandemic but one we rose to so that we could stay open and keep some stability for the children and parents at a very difficult time. Good luck at big school!
