First-class nursery/preschool. I have sent both of my little girls here, one has now been at school for 3 years, but still says The Wolds Day Nursery was the best place. The other one is still going and absolutely loves it. The staff can not do enough for you and show that they generally care about
each and every child. Could not imagine sending my little girls anywhere else.

Our son loves going to nursery and has developed so much with his speech since starting in January. The focus weeks are lovely for observing his activity at nursery and we love having a reading box to take home.

Incredible nursery. Home from home. We have had two children at The Wolds Day Nursery over the last six years and they have loved every minute of it. Every day is a fun learning day!
The food is lovely too.

Excellent nursery. The staff are wonderful with our daughter and they have really gone the extra mile this year to give the children some normality. The field is a brilliant outdoor space which our daughter loves.

Staff are extremely caring and appear to really enjoy their work. They provide excellent care and education, are extremely knowledgable and put a great deal of thought, time and effort into all the activities they provide. They provide appropriate and consistent boundaries for the children and communicate
well with parents. I have no hesitation in recommending The Wolds, they have provided the best possible start for our children and we couldn't have wished for better.

After moving into a new community with my children, Wolds were fantastic with nurturing, supporting and settling my three children in a new nursery environment. My children have grown in confidence and love attending the setting. The staff are experienced, professional and are loved by the children.
The nursery environment is clean, homely and a hive of activity and happiness. I highly recommend this nursery.

A nice little nursery. Friendly staff who care for the children beautifully. Great outdoor spaces which get bigger as the children move up the rooms, with a Forest School for The pre-schoolers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both our children attended The Wolds Day Nursery from 11 months old right through to Pre-School. It is a really lovely setting with great staff. The care and attention that our children received was first class and the wide range of activities that they took part in meant they were always engaged and
enjoyed being there. A particular highlight for them both was the forest school and time spent in the outside play area and the field. Staff being paediatric first aid trained as well as lots of other smaller details that we took for granted gave us peace of mind. The food was also an important factor for us when choosing a nursery as on some days they would be eating breakfast, lunch and dinner there. The meals are well planned out, varied and balanced and thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this nursery and Pre School to other parents.

My little girl has been at the nursery since she was about 8 months old, she’s now at school. She has absolutely adored her time at The Wolds, she has learnt so much from them. I have always felt at ease leaving her in their care, my little girl was always happy and confident with them I can’t recommend
them highly enough.
The menu and food on offer is excellent as is the cook who knows all the children and makes an effort to interact with them and the parents.
Thank you The Wolds for always being the best.

Review from Dave B (Father of Child) published on 24 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we first became parents we were, in all honesty, a little resentful of the cost of childcare. However, due to the experience we have had at The Wolds, we now feel like it is worth every penny. This team is absolutely incredible and we cannot praise them enough. Every time our son moves up to the
next room, we’re sad that he’ll no longer be looked after by the key workers he has been looked after, due to how fond both our son and ourselves become of them. However, though his key workers change as he progresses, the quality of his care remains consistently outstanding and he becomes equally fond of his next key worker. I hope everyone says this, but in case they don’t, it should be known that the team at The Wolds seem to care so genuinely about our son. The small moments of affection that they show him are so lovely to see and it gives us so much reassurance that he is both happy and well cared for. If we could give a score above ‘excellent’, we would!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been happily attending The Wolds in Plumtree for 6 years with our two children. We could not have been happier with the setting, staff and facilities.
The Wolds has offered a fantastic start to my children who felt cared for and happy to attend, which resulted in us being happy leaving them.
The staff are attentive and caring and offer a fantastic transition to school in the pre-school room. The field and forest school is a great addition and the meals are prepared on-site by a fabulous cook.
I would highly recommend this nursery/pre-school and as a parent, felt listened to and involved.
Thanks again.

The quality of care and attention given to our children is incredible. We could not be happier with the decision to take our children here. The focus weeks are amazing. Focusing on one child for the week and exploring their likes and sharing them with everyone else. The preparation for school and the
teaching our children have received is amazing. The rooms and building are perfect with great facilities. Our children love the food all prepared by an in house cook.

The Wolds Day Nursery offers amazing teachers/carers, fantastic facilities and is managed by excellent and caring people. Over the two years my son has been at the school he has grown in confidence, has learnt a phenomenal amount and is ready to move to school at the end of August. The level of care
and individual attention he has received has been incredible. Thank you The Wolds Day Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended the nursery for the past six months. I chose this nursery as it was a smaller setting and felt more structured than the other nurseries that we had viewed.
I am very pleased with the nursery in terms of available facilities and the broad range of activities provided, in particular
going outside every day regardless of weather (outdoor area and field), sensory room, visits from the mobile library, the variety of materials and imagination for making things.
The nursery communicates well with parents, from daily feedback, newsletters, parents app, parent forum and in the past a presentation in the evening to parents explaining the government funding.
The staff are fantastic and I have been pleased with how they have been dealing with the more challenging side of my daughter's behaviour.
Most importantly, my daughter is very happy and is developing well since she started.

Ever since our son has been at The Wolds, he has absolutely flourished. The staff are incredibly caring and keep us informed about his development and give us advice on additional things to help him grow. The environment is really well maintained with great indoor and outdoor spaces for the children
to play in. They have a good emphasis on learning but in a fun way. Above all, The Wolds team are just exceptional.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.739)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.739) out of 10 for The Wolds Day Nursery 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for The Wolds Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
  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 3.739 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Wolds Day Nursery is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.364
  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.
