Fennies Walton, Tennis Close

I can't recommend Fennies Walton highly enough. They have consistently shown a huge amount of care and affection towards my son, supporting him through what can often be challenging behaviours, with proactivity and compassion. Their SEN provision has gone above and beyond to ensure my son has the best start at school and finds the transition out of nursery as smooth as possible. I am so grateful that we chose Fennies Walton.

My little one has settled into Explorers so well thanks to the amazing team. They made her transition smooth and supported her every step of the way, making both of us feel so reassured. She's so well cared for, happy, and excited to go in each day. Thank you for making such a positive start to her nursery journey!

As a family member who regularly does collections, I'm always so impressed by the nursery! The facilities are fantastic, the environment is welcoming and it's clear how much thought goes into creating a lovely space for the children. A really wonderful place!

Our little one started at Fennies in September and has been loving every minute of it. He was only 8 months when he first started and whilst we were confident in our decision, we weren't sure about how he'd get on in this new setting. Safe to say we had nothing to worry about - the staff at Fennies has been patient, understanding and communicative. They seem to truly care about every child and ensure they all have a positive experience. Our little one is genuinely happy whenever we get to his room, and has never once cried at drop off (long may it continue!). This is a testament to the fantastic time he has every day thanks to the wonderful staff and management. We would wholeheartedly recommend Fennies Walton to any parent!

The kids would benefit from some excursions like other locations but Ben has made some progress on this so hoping that continues. Overall a lovely setting where our child is happy and thriving.

Our daughter has been at Fennies Walton for just under a year, and we couldn't be happier. The staff are brilliant! Having moved from a different nursery, they made the transition smooth and easy. Our daughter is happy, thriving, and developing so well.

Evelyn and her team are amazing. I really love the food menu - it's nutritious and well-balanced. Our daughter seems to enjoy it too, as she barely eats dinner when she gets home!

The garden is fantastic, fully equipped with everything children need to play and explore. I also appreciate the daily updates on the activities the children have done, along with plenty of pictures.

A happy child means happy parents - highly recommend!

We've had a great experience so far at Fennies - our daughter joined just before two year old from another nursery as we had to move area and she settled in so quickly - not a single day where she cried or didn't want to go in. She has developed so much since being at Fennies and has really grown attached to her carer. The environment is nice and big and airy and the garden is also large with lots of different activities. We are very happy!

We moved our son to Fennies in November 2023 from a childminder setting where he was struggling, and he has thrived at Fennies since the start. He has been able to explore his interests, build friendships with other children, as well as build his confidence. The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing, each morning we're greeted with enthusiasm and such positive energy, it has had a big impact on my sons confidence and love of the setting.

My little one has been attending Fennies for seven months, starting when he was 12 months old. He loves the staff and gives them big cuddles whenever he arrives and says bye-bye and waves with a big smile every day when he leaves. The staff are warm, loving and professional and make every child (and even siblings) feel special. They are creative in coming up with messy play activities and the rooms are set out with toys that are educational and developmentally appropriate, while the spaces themselves are full of natural colours (wood) and soft textures, with cosy corners. There is singing and dancing and book reading. The food is nourishing. The outdoor space cannot be beat. The garden is designed with little ones in mind and they love to spend time outside. I'd recommend Fennies to anyone as we've had a very positive experience.

Our daughter joined Fennies in March 2024 and we couldn't be happier. She has adjusted very well from day one and her development has been incredible in the last year. The staff is very friendly and very caring and our daughter has bonded very well with all of them. She's very happy to go to nursery every morning runs to the staff without saying goodbye to us! The rooms and garden are very spacious and well maintained. Throughout the day the children are involved in a wide range of activities that help them develop a lot of skills. We are very happy to have chosen Fennies and would highly recommend them to anyone.

My little one has been with Fennies Walton since she was 11 months. It's been over a year since she joined, and she has settled so well. She's very comfortable with her key workers, even after going up a level. The staff at Walton has contributed a lot to her growth, on top of making sure that she is comfortable and safe. The kitchen has also done an incredible job in making her try new foods we haven't done so at home. Thank you for everything you've done! She has come a long way and really loves it there.

Excellent, modern and clean baby room with lots of things to play with, various organised activities and access to the garden. The staff are friendly and dedicated, and our one year old has an excellent time there.

Every morning our 18-month old tries to find her shoes and Fennies bag as she cannot wait to go to nursery! The staff are all absolutely incredible: the baby room staff in particular are so kind, caring and fun - letting my daughter explore through stimulating activities but also being there for a cuddle when needed and the kitchen staff do an amazing job making delicious and nutritious food which was especially appreciated at the start when my daughter was dealing with a handful of allergies/intolerance's. The Nursery Practitioner and the wider team do such a fantastic job - I couldn't recommend them more!

We are so happy with Fennies-Walton! Our son absolutely loves going every morning and has the biggest smile when we pick him up. His key worker and all staff in Discoverers are fantastic: really attentive to all needs, supportive, communicative and cheery. They encourage fun and learning in a perfect combination. We especially love the app, which is updated daily with all activities done and pics, as well as posts specific to my child and progress in his development milestones. The facilities are great and we love the amount of time spent outdoors in the big garden! We are so happy we chose to send our son there!

I have two boys at Fennies Walton on Thames, and I can't recommend it highly enough! After an awful experience at another nursery finding Fennies was a relief. The staff are wonderful, and genuinely dedicated to the children's well-being, with special praise to the team who go above and beyond. Their warmth has truly impacted my children's happiness.

The facilities are clean, safe, and well-maintained. The outdoor area is great, with plenty of space for children to explore and play. The balanced mix of structured and play-based learning keeps my boys engaged. They're always discovering something new, thanks to high-quality resources, from educational toys to updated ICT tools.

The food is nutritious and balanced, giving them energy for a full day. Management is approachable and proactive, with safeguarding a clear priority. Fennies has been a breath of fresh air- don't think twice about sending your children here!

Our children were previously looked after at another setting, which we were very happy with. We had to move nursery due to our oldest starting school and the need to find a nursery/ preschool closer to the school and home for our younger 2. I looked at many nurseries in the area and from the moment I walked into Fennies I knew it was the one. As all parents know, starting at any new nursery is daunting and all we want is for our children to be safe and to thrive. 3 months in, both our children are super happy, and thriving and I am so confident that they are being perfectly cared for. The staff are exceptional and both the manager and deputy are wonderful- both accommodating and what I love the most is that they spend time in the rooms with the children. The activities they get up to are structured and are both educational and fun. There is a great outdoor area with loads of variety which is used daily. We get constant updates on their app which is great too! I couldn't recommend more.

We are new to Fennies Walton having recently moved to the area. Our main concern with moving was our son leaving the nursery he loved in London. We couldn't have been more wrong! I can't praise the Fennies Walton team enough for the settling in period - our son settled in super fast, is really happy and even told us he wants to stay here and never go back! The outdoor space here is also a game-changer and such a unique feature with the size and variety of activities.

Our daughter joined here earlier this year and transitioned very well from a previous nursery. We are so happy with how the nursery is run by the Manager and all of the amazing staff from room leads, supporting staff and kitchen staff. They all literally treat the kids like their friends or own and our baby boy now has joined here. The staff are creative in thinking of different ways to educate the children. The use of outdoor space was key for us and the kids love this space. And it's a great community for parents too. Thanks to all the staff for all that you do for our children, you make it easier at drop off each time knowing the kids love coming there!

My son has been at Fennies since January of this year, and within these last 9 months, I have noticed a dramatic increase in proficiency in his writing, drawing, social behaviour and being able to share. My son has made a lot of friends at Fennies and enjoys it there so much that I struggle to get him to leave each day. The staff in Inventors are fantastic. They are always happy and with a positive attitude. They are really interactive with the children and encourage them to progress in their strengths but also to feel comfortable with their weaknesses. I will be sad to take him out next year.

Since our son has joined Fennies-Walton he has developed well. Good and fun educational activities are being done during the day with the little ones to keep them stimulated. The staff are friendly, caring, understanding and very patient. The setting is really amazing and the outdoor play area is fantastic and can see that the kids all love it so much. Our little one likes going there in the morning and he is happy in the afternoons when we pick him up, which shows that he likes being there. The app is also very useful and keeps us as parents up to date on what is happening during the day, when our little one is sleeping and what he has eaten during the day. The facility is kept in a good and clean state and as parents, we know that is a hard thing to keep up with so well done to the team who keeps it so neat and tidy.
