We absolutely love Wandsworth Day Nursery and couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are all amazing, so caring and attentive and our experience has been nothing but positive since our very first settle days through to now, a few months in. Our little one has already developed a lot since being
there but most importantly she clearly feels so happy and safe and comfortable with everyone. And as parents, we feel so confident and reassured sending her in. If you're in the area, this is the nursery to choose!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team is is absolutely amazing. My little girl literally runs out the door to go to nursery and loves her teachers as she keeps bringing their names up at home and even on holiday! As a parent I am so happy to go to work knowing that she is in good hands and very well taken cared of. She can be a
fussy eater but she is happy with the food that is offered, which I think is healthy and balanced. For me it is a plus that they are lucky to have a garden for the children to play outside, as most of the nurseries nearby have to take the children to the park. I much prefer they are able to stay within the premises but able to enjoy having some fresh air. They have different rooms for different activities and my girl comes back from nursery knackered from a full day of learning through playing. I can definitely see a difference in her development week by week, even just going a couple of days a week. Beautiful to see. Thank you to the whole team.

Could not recommend The Wandsworth Day Nursery enough! They have been incredible with our daughter, the team is so brilliant and it is the most perfect start to her education experience.

My son started at The Wandsworth Day Nursery at 9 months old and loved it from day one. The staff is lovely and caring, and they keep the babies and toddlers engaged with a variety of activities such as baking, sports, music classes, games, sensory activities, and library time. We have only positive
feedback for the nursery and its staff. I would 100% recommend it to other parents.

My child started nursery at almost 12 months. We have been in the nursery for over a month and we all love it. The staff is so caring and makes a big effort to help my child to settle. They always update their activities in the app during the day so I can know what my child is doing. But more important
I can see my child happy and in good hands enjoying delicious meals. The outdoor area, library and sensory room are a great plus as they can enjoy a good time.

Our son loves attending nursery and we find all the staff to be so caring towards the children. The food looks delicious and very nutritious - lots of fruit and veg. We get regular updates on what our son has been up to during his days there on the app and we feel very happy leaving him there knowing
he is in competent hands. The nursery is always very clean and the outdoor area is a real bonus given the location.

My son loves going to nursery. He learnt to talk within a short space of time. He's always happy when I leave him, he absolutely loves his teachers. He's always learning something new. He's got a lot more confident and extremely friendly. The staff are always ready to help, and they always give feedback
about your child.

My daughter attended The Wandsworth Day Nursery until she started reception in 2021 and she was the happiest there. We always found the management, the staff, the facilities, the level of caring for the children and all the learning activities amazing! Currently, they even have the cutest bunnies that
the children love! When my baby boy was ready to start nursery we thought trying a different nursery was a good idea, but no, it was a big mistake, Wandsworth Day Nursery is one of the best in the area and we were by all means, welcome to bring my son in with the greatest flexibility and it was the best decision! He (and us) absolutely love it and I can just tell by how happy he is to go in and when we pick him up. Kudos to the new management and all the staff for the brilliant job they do, I cannot recommend it enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I will clarify that to date my son has only completed a two-week settling period and one full day at the nursery, but I am genuinely so pleased with our decision to send him to The Wandsworth Day Nursery. When we were choosing a nursery, it stood out for a number of reasons, but primarily it felt very
spacious (especially outside) and incredibly well set up and we were so impressed with the manager who hosted our tour and who was on hand afterwards to deal with any queries. The school and particularly the deputy manager have been so accommodating with a number of start date changes from us and our son has thoroughly enjoyed the time he has spent there to date. His key worker and others in his room are fantastic with him and we are kept up to date daily using the app. With the on-site chef, we know our baby is eating as healthily as he does at home. The experience to date has made the idea of returning to work and leaving the baby in nursery four days a week a much less worrying prospect.

We’ve been here for seven months but it feels like she’s always been here. The staff are all lovely and feel like friends and family. She loves it and will ask for her teachers at the weekend.
The class sizes are small and they’re always doing lots of lovely activities.
The management company has
recently changed and there have been some changes but nothing has seemed to have a knock on to the kids. We have an app where we get all the info on what the kids have been doing for the day and observations. We couldn’t recommend the nursery more.

All the teachers in the baby room are brilliant. My son was 9 months old when he started so was the youngest in his group but right from the settling in sessions, they were all very attentive and very kind and loving. Our older children went to a different nursery and whilst it was good, Wandsworth
Day Nursery is a different level. I get the feeling that the teachers actually love their job and actually love the children. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone!

My daughter attended the nursery from age 2 right up until leaving to go to school. We've had a really positive experience with the nursery and she has been very happy there. The outdoor facilities are fab (the construction area was a big hit!) and the special classes and rabbits were a bonus. The new

We have been with the nursery for the past 4 years when our eldest daughters started (now at school) and then our son attended for the past 2 years. It's been a great experience, especially in the last year, since the new principal joined. We really appreciate her transparency and honesty and we really
trust her and her staff! They are very caring and experienced, a great support for us throughout our children's development. The space is great, the rooms are spacious and full of interesting activities for the children and we love the variety: well-being space, library, sensory room, etc. Also, the outdoors is an amazing space, when looking for a nursery we were very firm on the importance of access to the outdoors, which many nurseries in London lack. In this nursery, our son spends a good amount of time outdoors and he is engaged with fantastic activities he is keen to tell me all about when I go to pick him up, of course, after a visit to Fluffy and Biscuit!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.915)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.915) out of 10 for The Wandsworth Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.915 for The Wandsworth Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (326 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 355 Ratings = 4.915
  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 The Wandsworth Day Nursery is based on 30 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 30 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.
