They are keeping the children inside with windows shut because a neighbour complained about the noise from children playing outside. The children are locked in packed rooms with the windows closed. Asthmatic staff have apparently struggled, one recently leaving. The kids are trapped inside for hours (potentially 8 out of 10hours). They are only allowed short periods in the garden (30min morning by group so 15min, 1230-1330 (during nap time for some), then 30 minutes in afternoon. That is a disgrace.
Last week the room was so hot (a portable AC was moving between rooms) in outside temperatures of 25-31C and even hotter inside. It was like a greenhouse when I picked up my child they sweating as were the staff.
Unfortunately biting and scratching amongst kids is more common due to the extended periods indoors.

My little boy has been at Fennies Wimbledon a little over a year now, he joined just before he was 9 months. I honestly don’t think I could have chosen a better nursery for him. He is thriving in all areas and the staff are simply amazing!

Amazing nursery. Not a single issue in over 2 years of attendance of my son. His development, since he started at Fennies, is amazing and he is a more confident child in comparison to when he started. The management is very good and have an open door policy.

We have been at Fennies Wimbledon since our son was one and is now nearly three and now our daughter is also attending. The staff in both rooms have been engaged, proactive, caring and simply wonderful at their jobs. The activities they do in both rooms are incredible; constantly inventive, creative and seeking to engage in a variety of different ways throughout the year. The team are brilliant, they know our kids so well. They genuinely care about them and have helped support us with any challenging normal phases we went through. The management are supportive, warm and caring and have an honest, transparent approach to the parents and their interaction with the kids is heart warming. We are very, very lucky to have them. I wouldn't dream of having sent them anywhere else and feel very lucky that when my husband and I can't be with them, they get to be in a place that loves them and nurtures them both in this way. Thank you so much to the whole team.

Our daughter loves going to this nursery and skips on the way there during drop-offs. The staff are attentive, kind and caring and they do a lot of fun developmental activities every day as well as yoga, Spanish and French lessons. We couldn't be happier!

We've been sending our son to Fennies for nearly a year now. He has really settled in wonderfully, loves his key worker and is very happy there. He will walk in without a look back when he is dropped off in the morning. We're very pleased with Fennies. All the staff and the manager have been superb.

I love the weekly photos, videos and observations that are posted on the nursery's communication system. The teachers are engaging and allow my son to thrive. Highly recommended!
Our daughter has been at Fennies for a year now and absolutely loves it. She has really thrived developmentally and socially whilst being there. The staff are lovely and the management are really hands on and genuinely care. We are so grateful for them.

The staff at Fennies Wimbledon have been excellent. Our son is thriving in this environment it is clear the teachers are passionate about early learning and consistently go the extra mile. Recently there here have more activities including the parents as well as initiatives implemented by management to incorporate home and school. The team at Fennies have exceeded my expectations recently and we hope to see that continue.

Choosing Fennies Wimbledon for our baby boy was probably one of the best decisions we have made since becoming parents. The facilities are outstanding, the management very responsive and the staff are just all you could ever ask from someone who is going to spend so many hours with your child: friendly, caring and professional. The freshly cooked meals offered to the kids are varied and nutritious. We are grateful for how much care and love they have always shown towards our son. He loves going to nursery! I would recommend Fennies Wimbledon to all parents in the area.

The staff at Fennies Wimbledon have been absolutely wonderful. They are professional, caring and friendly. The management are efficient and respond very quickly. We have had a brilliant experience with our daughter who attended since April 2021. The staff are so welcoming and really get to build a strong relationship with your child, they helped my daughter build her confidence and really encourage independence but are also supportive. The nursery itself is very safe and clean, we loved the balance of open play and structure, our daughter always spoke so highly of all the staff and really enjoyed her time there, we were sad to leave!
The menu is outstanding, there is a chef making fresh and healthy meals, we opted for halal and there was a lot of attention and care to ensure these needs were met. The communication is outstanding, they use the tapestry app and we are able to see videos, detailed observations and photos of our daughter. I highly recommend Fennies Wimbledon!

Fennies Wimbledon is more than a nursery! With twins, life can get a little crazy especially when your family and support structure live far away. Fennies Wimbledon staff are professional, nurturing and developmental. Our little ones enjoy school, speaking of their teachers all the time. Thank you Fennies Wimbledon for your unconditional love! We value the nursery and recommend it as "home away from home" to any parents considering sending their precious children there.
The staff at Fennies Wimbledon have been absolutely amazing since our daughter started there a year ago. They are incredibly kind, caring, and in but also professional. We have loved being part of the Fennies family and are only leaving due to moving out of the area.

The staff seemed to genuinely care about our daughter and she built really strong bonds with them. I also liked the contact we had with them so we were always aware of what our daughter was learning.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent in the area and I have!
I cannot thank the staff at Fennies Wimbledon enough for their genuine care of my son. He has now been attending for over two and a half years during which time he has consistently been given quality and varied opportunities to learn and develop. The resources which Fennies have are excellent and...
My son is always keen to leave the house in the morning to attend and at pick up time is very proud to show me his paintings.
The catering is excellent and the menu has really developed my son’s appreciation of food; his current favourite seems to be curry!
I find the management highly efficient and always respond very quickly when I ask for feedback.
Overall, I highly recommend Fennies Wimbledon to any parent looking for a home from home caring environment.

Our son was only in Fennies Wimbledon for under three months until we moved out of the area but it was such a welcoming experience for us as a family. There are regular updates everyday with regards to the food he ate from breakfast, lunch and tea, including two snacks. They also provide updates on nappy changes, sleep and even milk intake. It's so important to receive these details so we were not left wondering if he was eating well or not. It's also important to know the food he had so we can give him something different for his meal at home. We also look forward to his observations and his week at nursery which normally comes with photos and feedback. Thank you Fennies Wimbledon management, staff and teachers!
Thank you for your lovely review! It is great to hear that our team was able to provide you with this support, even for just a short period of time.
Very friendly staff, with a clean and safe environment. My son has enjoyed every day of attending Fennies Wimbledon. The atmosphere of the setting is very welcoming and staff were very close to the children.

Our son attended Fennies Wimbledon for just over a year from twelve to twenty eight months, until we moved out of the area. The whole family were very sad to leave Fennies Wimbledon. The team, including management and the carers in the rooms, really care about every child. The preschool staff all knew his name, despite the fact that he was never in that room. As well as being a loving environment, it is also a slick, professional operation and the response to Covid-19 has been excellent. We have felt comfortable with what they have done from day one, despite the massive uncertainty early on. Our son’s development while at Fennies Wimbledon was astonishing, he learnt a lot and his growing confidence is great to see. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you so much for your recommendation and review! We are so happy that you have felt comfortable at Fennies and that your son has grown in confidence and has been developing!

When choosing a nursery (in 2019) we visited 3 in our immediate local area and decided to go and see Fennies because we knew it was new and purpose-built (despite being the furthest away from our house). We were extremely impressed with the management and teachers. The children had so much space to play (including outdoor space), and lots of non-defined toys to encourage creativity and imagination. From the moment our child started at Fennies they have thrived. All the staff are attentive and are willing and able to go the extra mile. It very much is a partnership between parents and teachers. Like most nurseries you have daily updates; but you also get insights into the children's week, latest updates from the nursery and the wider group. The communication has been very good, which when dealing with a pandemic has ensured that parents stay as connected as possible to the nursery without being physically able to go inside.

Fennies Wimbledon have been amazing, can't recommend them enough! My daughter went there for 2.5years (until we moved abroad last month) going through all rooms (Baby, Toddler, Pre-school) and we loved every second of it. The staff are amazing - kind, they love the children and build strong relationships with them, they focus a lot on each child to help them develop and continuously learn! The food is really yummy and freshly cooked daily on the premises (the cook loves the children and they love her and her food back). The management is very professional and accommodating. They have all also been amazing with my daughter's food allergies. We miss them dearly! My daughter still talks about them and wants to play lego-Fennies every day. What more of a true testimony would you want from a child that she really enjoyed the place!
