My
We have consistently been impressed across all areas such as the app updates, termly reports and excellent engagement from the finance and the admin team with support navigating the early years funding options.
They nursery go above and beyond what they need to and I am so grateful for this positive and safe experience with both children.

As she grew, it became clear she needed extra understanding and support, and throughout her journey
The staff are incredible across the board. From reception, to the room teams, through to management, everyone is approachable, knowledgeable and clearly invested in the children they care for. Communication has always been clear and supportive, and we've always felt listened to and included as parents.
Most importantly, our daughter feels safe, understood and happy there - and that means everything to us.

My son is under the amazing care of Gemma whom has a beautiful presence and it is so clear to see how much she both cares for and adores the children in her room. Every day I am met with lots of enthusiasm around the day my child has had, their achievements and Gemma communicates outstandingly when it comes to any 'toddler issues' that may have occurred during the day. Likewise Sadaat has shown so much kindness to my son and it's so lovely to see how all of the staff really understand him and his character, and enjoy seeing him progress as a little person and enjoy play.
The nursery has fantastic outdoor settings which is essential for two boys that love exploring outdoors.

Our nearly three-year-old daughter currently attends and absolutely loves it. She is happy, settled, and excited to go each day. The nurturing environment, consistent care, and wide range of activities-especially dancing with Charlotte-have greatly supported her development.
Communication with parents is excellent, with daily updates via the app, photos, videos, and detailed termly reports. The nursery is warm, welcoming, and run by a genuinely caring team. We feel very lucky to have found such a supportive and inspiring nursery.

The staff, and particularly the SENCO and his key worker, have gone above and beyond to truly understand my child's needs and to create the right
Over the past year I have seen such meaningful progress in my child's speech, confidence, learning and readiness for school, and a great deal of this is down to the passion and expertise of the staff.
Beyond this, the nursery itself is a wonderful setting, with a beautiful outdoor space and forest school experiences that have allowed my child to learn through nature, exploration and play. I will be very sad when he leaves, but I feel incredibly grateful to everyone.

We love the international environment, the bright, purpose-built spaces, and the continuity of staff - many full-time staff work 40 hours across four days, so we usually hear from the same person about how our daughter's day has gone. She especially enjoys Forest School sessions and walks on the university campus, which make learning fun and engaging. The administrative side is excellent too, with prompt emails and clear updates.
We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and inspiring environment.

I have worked in a variety of early years settings throughout my career, most recently taking on the role of Nursery Manager at Wivenhoe Park Day Nursery. I am a qualified early years teacher with over 7 years of experience working with the early years. I have a passion for learning through play, allowing children to take risks and make their own decisions as they question and understand the world around them.
I lead the implementation and delivery of the early years foundation stage (EYFS) working in partnership with practitioners and parents to ensure that children learn and develop the broad range of skills and knowledge that provide the right foundation for future progress through school and life. I am passionate about developing strong relationships with parents and understanding the needs of the individual children who attend our setting.
I keep up to date with new research and any changes in Ofsted regulations and I am an agent for change. I support the staff of Wivenhoe Park Day Nursery to develop their practice in order to offer excellent provision for all children, as well as also supporting the implementation of the pupil premium grant to support economically deprived children within our setting.
Developing outstanding care and education is at the forefront of all we (the management team) do here at Wivenhoe Park Day Nursery.
I am the Business Manager for the nursery, this role ensures the smooth running of the nursery, maintaining records, policies adhered to and that we are compliant with Ofsted and other regulations. I also work on ensuring the nursery remains an integral part of both the University and the local community that surrounds us, so that families find us accessible and welcoming.
My professional heritage includes training and working in early years environments all of my life. I have been an Area Manager for the government funded Children’s Centres for 15 of those years, forming partnerships with families from all over North East Essex. I have two children of my own that are growing up fast and I’ve spent time trying to juggle work and family and understand the challenges this can bring. In one of my previous roles I was privileged to be present at the birth of a baby and do not underestimate the absolute honour it is to be in a position now to care for your baby (they remain our baby’s no matter how big they grow). I understand that parenting is one of the most important jobs in the world, I want you to feel confident about leaving your child here in our care and if you ever feel you would like to discuss your child’s progress or even just tell me about what they did at the weekend, my door will be open.
From the perspective of the nursery, as a management team we remain committed to continuous development and feel passionate about fresh ideas and ways to build on what we do to set us apart from the rest, creating an atmosphere that is caring and positive. Our whole team ethos ensures our dedication to achieving outstanding care and development is achieved for every child, so that when they reach the time they need to go off to school, that they do so with confidence and independence with you safe in the knowledge of the sound investment you have made in their early days.
