The Wendy House Day Nursery - Lickey Hills

also wonderful. The variety of food he’s given is brilliant, and communication is perfect.

All the staff have been absolutely lovely, friendly and so approachable with any concerns we had during handovers and personal chats. Our daughter is always talking about the staff in the nursery and how she loves the activities and the interesting things they teach her and has formed lovely bonds with all of them. Especially during COVID, as keyworkers, we were extremely appreciative of all the arrangements made and the safety measures taken to keep the service running and for accommodating our needs and timings. We always recommend this nursery to all our friends and we are extremely glad we chose this nursery as the foundation base for our child`s early learning.

mind was put at ease from the manager, a lovely lady - and the staff are all very friendly and caring. I viewed lots of nurseries before making the decision to send my little boy to The Wendy House and I’m so glad I chose this nursery. It was by far my favourite and still is 6 months on, it’s clean and I have to say my son seems very happy, you can really see the effort that’s been put in, by his development with talking etc, we as a family are very happy with the care he is receiving.

and an excellent place to learn. The daily menu is nutritious, varied and tasty. We are very happy that we get to send our son to Wendy House every day.

They have lots of outdoor time in a lovely, safe and enclosed garden. I can speak to and ask the staff anything, nothing is too much trouble.

and what they teach her. The staff in the pre-school section are brilliant, really understand the development of children and what they need to do in order to be school-ready. The food is varied and healthy. If we've ever been worried about any dietary need (we thought our daughter may have been gluten intolerant at one point) the nursery were completely supportive and adapted our daughter's meals. The App notification observations are detailed and informative as they're linked to the EYFS. We have had parents' evenings to discuss individual development which is lovely. The nursery also put on stay and play sessions (pre covid) which I really enjoyed as you get an insight into what goes on.

and our daughter has been very settled, well cared for and stimulated to learn new things. She has made close friends, as have we, with other parents from the local area. I am always reassured that her buddy nursery practitioner knows her very well and she is treated as an individual. The daily handover reports and the milestone assessments on the whole been very consistent and thorough.
The last 9 months have been spent in Foundation, while our daughter was one of the youngest, she got a lot from interacting with the older pre-school children. Now she is in the older set, she regularly benefits from time with her buddy to work on writing and numbers.

wait to get in the car in the morning to go. I find the staff extremely approachable, and they are always willing to help if I have any questions or queries. I have recommended this nursery to friends and will continue to do so; the reliable stability during the COVID lockdown and provided the normality my children needed and required as I am a key worker, I can’t thank them enough.

to socialise in a safe and supportive environment. In the foundation unit pre-school year my daughter was well prepared for school learning for example how to hold a pencil and basic phonics which have really helped her transition to school. The staff are caring and cheerful. The food is healthy and they eat very well. I am very grateful to all the staff for all the care and kindness that they have and continue to show my daughters and I would highly recommend The Wendy House.

up a valuable relationship with his key worker and gets excited to see and spend time her which means a happy child a happy mom!
Pick up can be challenging at present with waiting times but appreciate this is due to COVID-19 rather than the nursery itself.

tells me all the wonderful things she's done and learnt. I have the utmost respect for all the team especially the handling of the COVID where they have gone above and beyond to ensure our children are safe. The standards are high at the nursery. After seeing many before sending my daughter here I was impressed with the cleanliness, the early years curriculum and the kitchen on-site so they have cooked meals. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds here. I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

and varied with healthy snacks. They are well looked after and have formed good friends with their peers and with the staff, who are friendly and approachable.

pleased with how our daughter has transitioned back into nursery and the efforts the staff have made to bring a bit of normality back into her life. We have really appreciated the observations that have been uploaded, allowing us to feel apart of her day whilst also seeing for ourselves how happy she is to be back, especially given how much time she has spent away from the setting. Additionally, we are grateful that our daughter is being supported with things that she has shown an interest in such as writing her name and practising letters, this is something she showed an interest in at home and it is great that this has been identified by staff.

my son for when he starts school - he’s learning something new every week and takes great joy is sharing this with us!
