Review from Sian J (Mother of Child) published on 17 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to The Wendy House since he was 9 months old, I knew I was going to use this nursery again after my daughter also went there and I've absolutely loved sending them, it is the best nursery around. My son skips in every day with huge smiles, I don't even get a kiss or a hug sometimes as he's that excited to get in! The care is extremely good, I feel incredibly safe leaving him there and I know he'll have a great day every day. They don't just look after your child, they nurture them, teach them new skills through play and books, grow veg, and butterflies, learn all about them then release them into the sky. There's so much more that The Wendy House does. All the nursery assistants are amazing too, I highly recommend this nursery, I'll be very sad when my son leaves in September to go to big school but I'm very grateful for all they've done for him.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much for those lovely comments we really appreciate them. We have loved having both children and will really miss him when you leave this time around. He really is a little ray of sunshine.

Wonderful staff, this is the second nursery my daughter has been to and she absolutely loves it. She’s happy and smiling going in and tells me all about her day when we get home. The owner and the team are phenomenal.

Review from Rhianna E (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at the Wendy House for 4 years and I couldn’t wish for him to go to a better nursery. The girls who work there are amazing and my son speaks very fondly of them. They do fun things with the kids, such as having parties to celebrate special dates and visits from Santa each Christmas! I know that my son is very well cared for by the staff and he’s made strong friendships with the other children who he will be moving up to primary school with. The Wendy House has helped me out a lot doing the school runs to and from primary school. They are a 10/10 nursery and I can’t fault the girls who’ve cared for my son from baby room through to red group. Thank you Wendy House!

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks, Rhianna that is lovely to hear. It's a privilege to care for little ones right through from the baby room to school and provide that continuity and stability and to see them make friendships that I know (after 32 years here) can last a lifetime. A really solid foundation to build on as they grow. Wendy.

Overall Experience

My son (18 months) has been attending the nursery for 6 months now. I am a very overprotective parent (even more so in the current climate) and from our first meeting, the manager helped to put me at ease, the settling in process was really easy and my son settled very quickly, a massive thank you to the member of staff who was always at the end of the phone with a reassuring voice when I rang for a quick check-in. On numerous occasions, I picked my son up with a slight smell of perfume on him. I loved the fact that the staff members were cuddling my son as I would at home. My son has recently been moved up to the toddler room and the staff have listened to all of my concerns with him moving rooms, I love the weekly pictures and the daily book. A brilliant nursery and I really wish I had found it quicker for my eldest son to have enjoyed the same facilities when he was a baby.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much for the lovely comments about the nursery and staff. We are very proud of the reputation we have and are always reviewing our practice and environment. The induction visits are very important for both parents and children to settle in. It has been a very difficult time as parents...

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

That's a really lovely review thank you. Childcare is our passion and we always strive to achieve best childcare practice in an environment that that is safe and facilitates young children's natural curiosity to learn and explore.

Review from Yemi O (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks for such lovely comments, it’s great that she looks forward to coming into the nursery so much. All these experiences build up confidence and trust in what are the most important years... the foundation years. We are proud to have made it through a very challenging year with the pandemic yet still kept the fun and stability there for the children.

Review from Rebecca H (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks for your lovely comments. Outdoor play is so important to children, and our outdoor space has been a focus this year. We are not only carrying out essential replacements of the fences, but we have refurbed the mud kitchen, veg garden, builders yard, chicken run and added to the play experience with an outdoor play shelter, which can be a shop garage or whatever they want it to be!

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I am known for running a tight ship, and this ensures all policies and procedures are followed consistently. This year we have refurbed our outdoors and love outdoor play in any weather including snow... and can't wait for Spring and Summer to come!

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.

Overall Experience
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!

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much. This has been a challenging time, but so important for us to keep positive so that coming to the nursery is a fun time for the children who will also be confused in a lockdown situation. It also keeps stability and peace of mind for parents trying to work through this. We will also...

Review from Georgia R (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Wendy Powell, at Kids Planet Brynford

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback; it's not easy for parents to start at nursery when they can't come inside, but I know the pictures from our app help and so glad he has settled so well.

Review from Matthew D (Stepfather of Child) published on 29 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Since 2015 both our boys have attended The Wendy House and enjoyed it so much. A fantastic stepping stone for the little ones to start learning, make their own little friends and have fun playing. Staff are wonderful too. So patient and caring. Our youngest will be moving on to school soon and we'll miss The Wendy House. Fabulous place.
