Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are both so happy with our experience of Vantage Par Day Nursery so far. From the moment we visited the beautiful setting, we knew it’s where we wanted our son to go. The initial settling in period was very smooth and our son settled quickly. Every member of staff we have spoken to has been friendly
and professional. Any queries we have are always dealt with quickly and the daily/weekly communication is very good. I could not praise the nursery any more highly for how they dealt with lockdown and reopening. For us, the most important factor is that our son is safe and happy and we feel that Vantage Park is perfect for him.

Thank you for your review, we are very pleased that you are happy with the setting and the service we provide.

Vantage Park Day Nursery is wonderful. The staff are really friendly and good with the children, as well as professional and hard working. Even during COVID, we are seeing what they're up to in the weekly newsletter, getting daily reports of naps and meals, and our two are having a marvellous time.
(Before lockdown, we had all this and more with face to face chats when picking up.)
If you go on a visit you will see all the facilities - our two especially love the platform they built so the children can watch the tractors!
We did have experience of another setting in the area, and we are much happier with Vantage Park Day Nursery.

My son started when he was two, he has had an amazing time there, and I've always felt comfortable leaving him. The staff are all welcoming and enthusiastic, you can see how well they know and care for the children. My son's development has been incredible, and I owe that to the nursery. I don't think
he would have flourished as well in another setting.

Very happy with the facilities and services provided by the nursery for us as parents. Our child comes back very happy, and you can see the growth and development in his learning and personality since starting nursery and interacting with staff and the other children.

My daughter has been going to Vantage Park nursery for 18-months, and she absolutely adores it. She has really good bonds with the staff across the nursery and has grown in confidence. I was really impressed by their ability to support children and parents during the lockdown. Since lockdown, they have
worked hard to make parents and children feel safe whilst still ensuring that there's good communication. I think the staff are exceptional and truly care about the cistern that they are looking after. I love that children have so much time outside and follow the forest school model of learning. My daughter really loves coming to nursery, and I think they will set her up for school when she gets older.

I honestly couldn't have wished for a better nursery to send my little boy. He started there in April 2019 at 11-months-old, and over a year on, I'm still so happy we chose Vantage Park.
All of the staff are so lovely and go above and beyond for each child. The nursery support parents with the routines
set at home.
My little boys are developing so well, and I know for a fact that Vantage Park has played a huge part in this.
I love the fact that the children go outside no matter the weather and get to explore the garden and learn about nature.
My little boy is always so happy to go to nursery in the morning, and I think that says a lot in itself!

My son has attended Vantage Park Day Nursery since February 2018. He has had the best care and the best caregivers. The staff are excellent and hard working. Always encouraging the children to work hard and try their best. Excellent service when dropping off and picking up. I’m so happy my child has
made good relationships with staff and children.

We are very pleased with this nursery. Our child absolutely loves going and enjoys talking about his key workers at home too which is a good sign. The built environment is lovely, especially the garden overlooking the fields with tractors! The staff are warm, friendly and seem passionate about creating
an interesting environment and varied activities for the children. They happily give the time to chat through my child's day when asked. Very happy to recommend this nursery.

I’m extremely pleased with the nursery setting as a whole, all the staff are fantastic and I’m well informed of my little boy's day every time I collect him. He loves it and thrives in the environment and is excited when I drop him off, which gives me great peace of mind being a working mother.

I couldn't be more thrilled and impressed by this nursery. It is beautiful, the staff are outstanding. It has a great atmosphere and it feels like I am dropping my son off with family. All staff are professional, polite and have a great understanding of my child, even the ones that aren't in the same
room as my son! I have used Wigwam nurseries before and I think the chain is exceptional. Think they should venture into schools, ready for my sons next steps.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 2 daughters were initially at a different nursery which we weren’t happy with, so we looked round Vantage Park Day Nursery as a possible alternative. We were so impressed we transferred them as soon as we could and are so pleased we did.
The settling in sessions were excellent - our eldest (then
3) was asking when she could go back and our youngest (then 18 months) was more than happy to be left there.
They have now been there for just over a year and absolutely love it. They do a huge variety of activities (including an actual woodwork bench for the preschool room), and the garden facilities are brilliant. The nursery follows the forest school initiative which is fantastic - getting them involved in outdoor activities whatever the weather.
I would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery. The staff are fantastic and genuinely care about the children and the nursery facilities are exceptional. I am very happy leaving both my girls there which, for me, is the real testament of how pleased I am with Vantage Park Day Nursery.

Our Little girl started going to Vantage Park Day Nursery in January at 9 months old, for just one Day a week, she settled in so well, we had had our minds put at ease by the staff who are loving, caring and supportive of both parents and children. The bonds they develop with the children, reassures
me that my daughter will happily go to them when I drop her off and she still has that smile when I collect her. A great setting, with brilliant facilities, they have some amazing activities each week for them to participate in and they spend time inside and a lot outside, they don't believe in bad weather!!! My daughter gets fed a wide variety of homemade food, puddings and fruit which she seems to love. We have now increased her hours.............. I would definitely recommend this nursery to my friends and family.

A lovely setting, with great facilities that my daughter absolutely loves, especially the slide. She’s more than happy to go to any of the staff in the morning and it’s obvious to see the caring, supportive, encouraging bond the staff have with all the children. My daughter is always fed so well with
a varied range of nutritious homemade food, puddings and fruit. I was definitely a bit nervous about leaving my child in Nursery at 7 months, however, the team at Vantage Park made me feel very reassured and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined Vantage Park a few months ago as a result of his previous nursery being closed for a period of time. My partner visited a number of nurseries in the local area and was not impressed. He was then recommended Vantage Park by a fellow parent from our previous nursery... given that my partner
is a little fussy and he was blown away, I was impressed!!


Since our son has attended Vantage Park, his development has been noticeable. He is very happy and we are at ease that he enjoys every moment. The staff have been incredibly supportive and advised us of how we can help further his development. I find their care not only supportive but their knowledge and enthusiasm impressive and like no other we have seen.


I would without any doubt recommend any parent that is looking for nursery care to visit Vantage Park!


Our only complaint....they don’t open weekends ;)

I couldn’t fault Vantage Park in the slightest; I love everything about it. The staff are absolutely amazing and really helped my little girl settle in and deal with my constant ‘checking up’ phone calls! My little girl absolutely loves the nursery and has developed so much with their care and support.


I love that they’re outside so much in all weather. The weekly newsletters are the highlight of my week - seeing pictures and hearing what they’ve been up to! I recommend the nursery to all my mummy friends.

Our son loves Vantage Park, from the first day when we were shown around we were made to feel very welcome and the overall atmosphere was lovely.
We came from another nursery which our son really disliked, he screamed every morning before having to go, we made the staff aware of his previous situation
and they could not offer enough support and encouragement, he now asks each evening if he is allowed to go to 'school' tomorrow and gets so excited when he knows he is going. He leaves us happily each morning and always enjoys telling the staff each morning a different story.


The facilities are amazing as well the staff that work here. This nursery will exceed all of your expectations and more. Nothing is ever too much when asked and their weekly themes and colourful classrooms will engage and stimulate each child. The staff seem to really understand each child and appear to have excellent relationships with all of them!


You will not be left disappointed.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Vantage Park 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.972 for Vantage Park Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.972
  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 Vantage Park Day Nursery is based on 15 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
