If you want your child to be cared and loved in the way you do yourself, then this is the nursery for you. Communication is excellent. The facilities promote learning and play. The food is made on site and is tasty (my daughter says so) and nutritionally balanced. You can see the staff really love and
care for every child and they are all so friendly.

Couldn't be happier with this nursery. My daughter has been attending for 2-years and loves it. Even on a weekend, she wants to go to in! They plan so many fun learning activities such as crafts, painting, dress-up play, visiting the chickens, turning caterpillars to butterflies, both in and outdoor
play. The managers have been excellent, especially in managing the pandemic, and kept us updated as to how they are keeping the children and staff safe, e.g. group bubbling, temp-checks, foot-operated sanitiser by the door, staff use of face masks in communal areas, and also for parents during pick-up/drop off, fogging machine to sanitise the rooms and furnishings, introducing staff lateral flow tests weekly... so many things. They have a lovely team of staff that care very well for the children. The menu is varied and healthy. My daughter has been through the Baby, Toddler, Blue and Red Rooms, and the staff in each one have been great. Photos each week of all the fun! I really couldn't ask for much more.

I would highly recommend The Wendy house to any parent. The staff are so knowledgeable, always professional and very helpful. My son, who is 4, is very fond of them all! The nursery has got lots of space inside, but what I really like is the amount of outdoor space they have to run around. They are
always doing something different every week, learning new skills and topics.
It really is a great nursery, and I will be sad when its time for my son to leave for full-time school.

My 2-year-old has been attending The Wendy House for just over four months, and I am so glad we made the decision to send him here. The nursery is the perfect location and a great environment, which is well organised for the children and has everything they need. I cannot fault the staff; they are absolutely
amazing and go above and beyond to make sure the children and parents feel at home. The nursery is kept extremely clean and to a high standard which is especially important at the moment and makes me feel safe sending my child here. Honestly could not recommend this nursery enough.

Such a lovely nursery and would highly recommend - the staff are so kind and polite; the setup and layout are fantastic and age-appropriate.
My little girl is 8-months-old and only just started here, but I know she loves it because when I go to drop her off or pick her up, she has the biggest smile
on her face and is all excited!
The staff make you feel at ease and answer any questions you have. There is a great variety of healthy food choices, and a daily diary, so you can see what they’ve been up to. Overall, fantastic, thank you!

I can not speak highly enough of The Wendy House Nursery; the owner runs a tight ship, and the children always come first. Her staff are amazing, and I have not had any worries over the past three years that my little girl has been attending. I love the fact the children have a lot of outside play,
(being a countryside nursery), and my daughter's development has been nurtured by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. An amazing start for any child.

We have been sending our son to The Wendy House for the last two years, and we have nothing but praise for The Wendy House staff. He always enjoys his time there and always looks forward to going. He loves all of the nursery staff who always go above and beyond.
With the current Covid-19, the health
and safety measures they've put into place are outstanding.
All in all, it's a wonderful nursery to send your children 5*!

My daughter has been attending The Wendy House since she was 9-months-old and has excelled so much more than I could have expected. The room leaders and staff are brilliant and always go the extra mile. Knowing my daughter is happy going in the mornings and coming home, she's made friends and an overall
excellent environment.

My little boy has been attending The Wendy House for almost three years and has absolutely loved it! He runs in with a big smile on his face every single time!
I would also like to mention, through this pandemic, they have been fantastic, the nursery has been kept spotlessly clean, and they have even
paid to have the staff covid tested each week, to keep everyone as safe as possible, during this awful time. Each and every one of the staff, have a smile on their face, even though it has not been easy for them, during this extremely difficult time.
I would not hesitate in recommending The Wendy House to anyone; it’s a brilliant nursery!

The Wendy House took my little boy on during the pandemic. My little one has been attending twice a week since he was 6-months-old. The things he has been taught since going is sceptical! His key workers are the loveliest girls ever, and it makes his day when he gets to see them! His book is always
filled in so I know what he has done throughout the morning. The food which he receives through the day is amazing and he never leaves hungry! His key workers always give him back in clean clothes and always a clean nappy. I could not recommend this nursery enough - baby room!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I believe The Wendy House sets the benchmark for nurseries and childcare. All the staff are very dedicated staff to providing engaging care that encourages natural development and the little one has enjoyed every moment of her time at The Wendy House.
The Wendy house goes above and beyond in organising
visits and trips to help broaden the experiences of the children, from making their own pizzas as a local restaurant, having an exotic zoo come to visit, to starring in their own movie. All the food served is wholesome cooked food, with nutrition for the children being at the forefront of a well balanced and diverse menu. Over the years having The Wendy House look after the little one I have seen the investment The Wendy House has made into making the facilities even more fantastic for the children. The Wendy House is full of fun, learning, creativity and support. The little one has a treasure trove of wonderful memories that have made her childhood so far an even brighter one.

My little boy attended Wendy House from 2 years old. He settled in so well and loved going to nursery. He made a lot of friends which he still sees. The Wendy House care is second to none, I always knew that my little boy was fully cared for with his every need. The girls are amazing with the children,
they really look after them like they are their own. My little boy was so very sad to leave. He still says he misses his friends there and the girls. Definitely recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Kids Planet Brynford 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.951 for Kids Planet Brynford is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.951
  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 Kids Planet Brynford is based on 22 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 22 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.
