My husband and I couldn't be happier with the care our son received over the last 2 years. I was sad to see him leave to start school but the transition was seamless and I put this down tot he confidence he gained from going to The Wendy House. The outside space is brilliant and my son loved the chickens.
The management and staff are all friendly and approachable and my son always talked about them at home.

Fantastic nursery on all fronts.
Fantastic staff, setting, care and food.
My children have attended over the last 12 years and the quality of care has never faulted. The learning through play philosophy gives children, a priceless head start at school. I'd never recommend another. (And we love the
chickens).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both boys are very happy here. The youngest was very attached to me and I worried about him settling into nursery, but they allowed an extended, gentle settling in period, provided a single key worker for him and now he is very settled and thriving.
Plenty of outdoor space separated by age grade and
frequent walks around the village and to the park provide the outdoor life and activities my boys need. No complaints or concerns at all. Thank you.

The Wendy House is an excellent nursery; staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Both my children are very happy here; my daughter has made many friends and is well prepared for moving on to primary school. My son was very shy, but being here has really helped him with his confidence, and
he now settles happily in the mornings. Staff also keep up to date with pre-school learning methods and curricula, so the move to primary school is as easy as possible. Overall very happy to have such a great nursery in our locality!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Exceptional care is consistently given to my 20-month-old little girl. She has made close bonds with the girls who are in the toddler room and is genuinely happy to see them each morning. All staff have an excellent rapport with my little girl and I. Information is communicated regarding activities,
eating etc each day and staff respond to all requests. I am very pleased with the variety of activities planned for my little girl every day, these have all helped her progress and develop rapidly and she is always eager to vocalise her enjoyment.
Both in and outdoor facilities are very modern and clean. The menus provided offer a well varied, healthy diet. I can't thank all od the staff enough for the care they give to my little girl - I truly feel confident and at ease when leaving her to go to work.

Our son has been at The Wendy House since he was 10 months old. We cannot praise the staff highly enough as they have shown nothing but care for our child whilst he has been with them. On occasions where we have experienced any issues then our queries have been dealt with promptly and when we have
provided feedback then this has been taken into consideration.


Personally, we cannot thank them enough for their contribution to our son's development, they have supported us in teaching him right from wrong and given him the opportunity to experience things that we as parents may not have been able to.


We will be sad to say our goodbyes later this year as our son starts school full time.

Both of my boys have attended nursery since they were 8 months old. It is never an easy decision to put your children into a childcare setting but I can honestly say that it is the best decision I have ever made. The Wendy House provides my boys with a home from home. The assistants all go above and
beyond to provide my children with everything they need in my absence and they look forward to nursery every single day. The management are accommodating and supportive and make my life easier. The Wendy House is a beautiful nursery in an ideal location and I'm so happy that my boys have experienced what they have to offer. I can't recommend this service highly enough.

I chose this nursery for my daughter as the environment is clean, well organised and the staff are great. Management style works well and routines also work well. The activities, events and fundraising the nursery organises are great for the children and parents to get involved with.
The menu and
meal times are well thought out and healthy. I'm extremely happy that my daughter attends this nursery. I always recommend to new parents and hear good reviews from other parents who send their children here.

My 2 year old twins have attended Wendy House since they were about 8 months old. I have always been so impressed by the staff. Their level of care and thoughtfulness is to a very high standard. Wendy House is also safe and secure with a good security system. The food is very healthy and it is comforting
to know they are being fed well.
The daily reports in the children's diaries are wonderful as they are detailed.
I rate Wendy House very highly and thank them for looking after my children so well. They are happy!

The Wendy House has been part of our lives for the last 5 years, firstly with my son and now with my daughter. All of the staff are friendly and supportive. They take time to learn the names of family members and even teddy bears names. My daughter classes the staff as her friends and loves the adventures
they go on and the daft songs they sing. The outdoor space is brilliant and they use it most days. My daughter also loves helping to look after the chickens.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my daughters currently attend The Wendy House and have done since they were 10 months old, my eldest is now three and a half. I have never had any worries or complaints and feel they are completely safe and well cared for when I drop them off. All the staff are very friendly and welcome the children
each morning, encouraging those who need it. The children in all rooms from babies up to red group are given a brilliant variety of activities and they have chance to take part in fun, messy, creative stuff that teaches, encourages and inspires them! I like that the children spend a lot of time outdoors in the gardens or going for a walk. As well as busy activities there is also opportunities for the children to relax if they need to in quiet areas with books and blankets. The staff at the Wendy house are fantastic to my girls and I dread the time coming for them to leave.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending at this nursery for almost two years. During that time he has really progressed in all areas. The setting of the nursery is in a lovely, quiet countryside location set back away from the road. The staff are all professional, helpful, kind and friendly. The nursery has a varied
menu for breakfast/lunch/dinner which is all homemade healthy food. A daybook/diary is filled in at the end of each day so you know exactly what your child has been playing with doing/eating/drinking. I would highly recommend this nursery and have peace of mind that my son is safe and well whilst at nursery.

My son is two years old and has been going to The Wendy House three days per week since he was 11 months old. He settled in really well with the help of the fantastic staff who all deserve recognition of how brilliant they are. I wouldn't put him in any other nursery and I don't have a bad thing to
say about the place. He has great fun every day that he is there and I am reassured in the knowledge that he is in very very safe hands. My other son will be attending the nursery once I return to work following maternity leave.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have complete confidence that when we leave out daughter at The Wendy House that she will be well cared for, as is she is part of their own family. Their nursery is well organised, clean, tidy and well resourced and the staff are clearly interested in my child's welfare.
They greet her every morning
with a cheerful smile and at the end of the day I arrive to pick up a happy (but exhausted) little one who has clearly had a lovely day.
The food is varied, fresh and healthy and my child always comes home clean. The level of information we receive in the daily handover at the end of the day is of a very high standard. Very highly recommended - excellent staff. Well done.

Both of my girls have settled quickly at the The Wendy House. The staff are lovely, friendly, approachable and caring. Rooms are well furnished and a range of activities offered to stimulate and develop learning. As a teacher I am all too aware of the impact all of these activities are having on my
girls and am so thankful that I chose The Wendy House. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Wendy House and I already feel sad at the thought of leaving once both girls are in school!

My son attends the Wendy House full time. He started at 6 months and the team took every care to ensure he felt safe and secure as her started. The nursery team care for my son as an individual and provide me with a good understanding of how his day has been. They are always positive with him and he
seems settled and happy there. He also had allergies which I know they take seriously and manage in my absence.

My toddler has been at The Wendy House for two years. I have been so happy with all elements of his care. All the staff are friendly and professional at all times. My little boy loves going to nursery and when I measure his development versus other children of his age that don't go to the Wendy House
and he is so much more advanced in his social skills and speech. I would recommend The Wendy House to any parent that needs care for their young children.

My son joined the nursery in February 2015, aged two and a half. We changed nursery due to relocation and following a good experience at the previous nursery, I was concerned, however there was absolutely no reason for concern. The nursery facilities are excellent. The activities are varied and exciting
as well as educational and the staff are fantastic. The nursery is well managed, always clean and absolutely no reason to complain at anytime. My son has continued to develop as expected and enjoys his time there. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

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.
