At Ivy House, Wellington lane they provide care, play and learning opportunities in a homely environment where they focus on a child's individual needs and interests. They        ensure each and every child has the opportunity to flourish with their support and guidance and in partnership with parents/carers. They are inspired by The Curiosity Approach and will in time work towards accreditation.

They have a garden which children access regularly throughout the day. They also promote local trips and outings (posting a letter, exploring the community and enjoying some fresh air).

They communicate daily via an app called Famly, sharing pictures and observations and encouraging you to be a part of your child's learning journey.

Review from Lauren S (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I just wanted to say how impressed we have been with Ivy House and how happy my son is in the baby room. There was a lot of change last summer but I appreciated the communications you gave in the app and call I got from the Manager prior to starting. Since starting, every member of staff has been brilliant
with my son and so welcoming and informative with me and my husband at pick up or drop off. He clearly enjoys his time here and is thriving!
A special mention to the Nursery Practitioner who is incredible! She knows understand my son so intuitively and gives us the perfect information so we can mirror routines and preferences with him at home to match nursery so he transitions seamlessly.


The lady in the finance dept has also been great explaining invoices, helping with codes and the fab frosty Friday offer from December. I highly recommend new parents follow the Ivy House Farnham on social media to see these offers. All in all I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

I wanted to say a massive thank you to the team at Ivy House for all that they have done for our daughter. She has absolutely flourished here with her language and drawing skills as well as her overall confidence levels. She has come such a long way thanks to all of you.

We are very happy with Ivy House. The staff are warm, friendly, and understanding. I think there is a relaxed and homely atmosphere, and they adapt to what the children need. Very impressed, and grateful to have my son attend.

Such a lovely nursery. The staff are fantastic! My son adores them and is always so excited to see them. Which means I can relax knowing he’s enjoying himself and getting great care. The app is great and communication from the staff is quick. Recommend this nursery if you are wanting a home-from-home
feel!

I have used this childcare setting since 2017 and since Ivy House has taken over, you can tell they really care about the children. They are very good with my little one and really understand her ways! She is always so happy when going into the nursery and leaving the nursery. I will be soon putting
my 1-year-old into this setting as well.

Such a lovely nursery. Such a wide variety of activities and toys. All the staff are lovely and helpful. My little one loves coming to nursery to see all of his friends. The app is also great, so if you are an anxious person, like me, you can see live updates on nappy changes, what they’ve eaten, if
they’ve had a nap, etc.

Thank you so much! We will continue to work hard to ensure we offer the best environment and work with our parents. Thank you!

The new owners have taken the time to engage with parents and carers and bring us up to speed which is appreciated. Our child has a wonderful experience at nursery and is learning, developing and growing really well which is great to see. We get regular updates on his progress and on the wider plans
for the nursery.

Seen excellent development of my own child at this nursery. It's a small nursery but we feel this is a bonus as all the staff know all the children really well and are excellent at meeting individuals needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the most wonderful little nursery. It’s a real home from home for my two children who attend three days a week currently. I chose this nursery as it’s quite small and personal, but still has great facilities, also as it’s an independent nursery they seem to care about the children a lot more.
They both absolutely love it, the staff are kind and understanding of my individual children’s needs. I would highly recommend the nursery and my children will miss the nursery and staff when it’s time for school, as will I. Their care goes above and beyond.

Our two year old loves Caterpillars. They are a very creative nursery and always engage the children with a range of exciting activities. Groups are relatively small and the whole nursery has a calm, organised feel to it. The staff really care for the children and communication with parents is very
good. Would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.127)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.127) out of 10 for Ivy House Wellington Lane is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.829 for Ivy House Wellington Lane is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.829
  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 4.298 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ivy House Wellington Lane is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.698
  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.
