  • Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead, Maidenhead
Welcome to Wise Owls Day Nursery, located in the Braywick Leisure Centre in Maidenhead, where children between the ages of 8 weeks and 5 years old receive exceptional childcare in a nurturing home away from home.

They know you want the best for your child. A safe space to play, explore and grow. A place where they laugh out loud every day. Maidenhead undoubtedly offers this happy existence.

One of the benefits of this nursery is its size. The intimate space instantly puts children at ease, giving them a familiar and welcoming place to spend their day. Each and every child is celebrated and recognised for their uniqueness, and the calm and friendly atmosphere gives children the confidence to be creative, express their emotions and explore their surroundings.

Not only do the children have the opportunity to play and learn with their peers, there will be times throughout the day where they will enjoy the company of children of different ages; learning to socialise, share, take care of others and find their own voice.

The nursery is equipped with top-quality facilities and resources across five age-appropriate rooms and they provide a safe and caring environment where children can enjoy crafts, role-play, reading corners, sensory play, phonics, and small group activities.

Their location within the Braywick Leisure Centre ensures that children regularly have the opportunity to explore the nature reserve surrounding the centre, regardless of the weather. With easy access to the A4, M4, A404 and public transport links, Wise Owls Day Nursery is conveniently located for busy parents.

Review from Fiona H (Mother of Child) published on 8 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son goes to Wise Owls Day Nursery three days a week and has developed so much since starting with them. The team are fantastic, they keep me up to date with everything that is going on, they helped when we started the potty training process and they know my son so well, I feel very comfortable and
happy knowing he is in good hands. The prices are brilliant, I have a tight budget, but the care is the most important thing and I know that he is at the best nursery in Maidenhead.
Reply from Laura Hughes, Business Manager at Wise Owls Day Nursery - MaidenheadThank you, Fiona, for your excellent review on our nursery, we are glad your son enjoys attending, thank you, Laura Hughes.

Review from Xiao Z (Mother of Child) published on 8 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been in this nursery since she was 2 years old. She will start school this September. She has always been happy in the nursery. During the Covid time when the nursery had to remain closed, she told me millions of times that she really missed the nursery. I credit this to the nursery
staff for their delicate care and top engagement. As it is a small nursery, the staff turnover is not frequent at all, so the kids can feel a secure bonding with the staff. The new setting in Braywick Leisure Centre has provided even further opportunities to the kids and staff. The new setting is such a homely environment and my daughter loves the castle. Parking is also very easy and it is just next to the leisure centre. It also helps to combine sibling activities in the leisure centre and own exercise in the running ground or in the leisure centre. Besides, the fee is very reasonable and the length of the opening hours is good. Great value for money.
Reply from Laura Hughes, Business Manager at Wise Owls Day Nursery - MaidenheadThank you Xiao for your excellent review of our nursery, we are thrilled your daughter enjoys attending. Kind regards, Laura.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.418)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.418) out of 10 for Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.792 for Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.792
  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 4.626 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wise Owls Day Nursery - Maidenhead is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 41 number of registered child places is 8.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.2 = 0.976
  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.
