Wychbold Nursery has been absolutely brilliant for our son. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly supportive, kind, and attentive to his needs. They've created such a welcoming and nurturing environment, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about each child and truly know them.
We've seen such fantastic progress in our son since he started - not just academically (phonics, writing and speech) but also in his confidence, social skills, and overall happiness. He absolutely loves going in each day, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless.
We're genuinely so happy with the nursery and can't thank the wonderful staff enough for all they've done. I feel so sad that the year has ended for my son but feel so reassured to send my daughter in a few years. Wychbold Nursery is a very special place and we feel very lucky to have found it.
Thank you to all members of staff who work so hard to make it an incredible nursery!

Both my boys have attended this nursery and we are absolutely thrilled to express our appreciation and gratitude for Wychbold Nursery which is a wonderful nursery. All staff are delightful and genuinely have all compassion and care for the children. My son absolutely loves it here. They really do go
above and beyond for the children they care for. There is every facility and more. So many toys and activities for the children. As well as the most amazing outdoor space filled with more fun. My son loves the forest school, which is located just next to the Nursey and school, as well as the Nursey garden, which is full of toys for every single child. We are so happy we chose their nursery. They creat such a beautiful at home feel, which still educating the children they care for. Wychbold is a great nursery and provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their child is safe, happy, and thriving. Thank you everyone who works there. We cannot recommend this beautiful setting more!

Wychbold Nursery in my opinion is a fantastic setting. The staff are incredibly friendly, hard working and committed to every child they encounter. The activities and events they plan are inclusive and supports the holistic development of the children attending. My child always comes home happy often
telling me all of the wonderful things she has done. The setting involves families and provides plenty of information to help support the development of our children. There has been an abundance of opportunities and I believe my child is thriving because of the chances she has had to learn and develop her character. When I enter the setting I feel a sense of warmth from staff and just feel happy. It is a special place and I could not have asked for better for my daughter. I am excited to see her grow and thrive at Wychbold First School. The nursery has certainly got her prepared for it. The nursery manager is exceptional.

I have two older children who previously attended the nursery and a child who is currently in the nursery and I can honestly say that the setting has been amazing for all of them. The staff are supportive and nurturing and I feel confident that my child is well cared for and supported socially, emotionally
and academically. My older children left the nursery with a strong foundation in phonics and number work and were well-prepared when they started Reception. I'm sure this will be the case with my younger child too. My daughter enjoys the varied activities that the staff provide and loves the weekly forest school sessions.

Choosing Wychbold Nursery for my son has been one of the best decisions we made! From the moment he started he felt welcomed and reassured by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. The environment is bright, clean and designed to stimulate young minds with a variety of activities that cater to
both creativity and learning. The teachers are exceptional and I have received communication throughout the year such as progress, photos of his day and insights into what he has been learning. I couldn't be happier with the growth I have seen in my son. Thank you to all of the staff.

Haven't got a bad word to say about Wychbold Nursery. My son absolutely loved this nursery and was so happy to go in every single day. He learnt so much whilst being here and has now gone into reception at a new school and in his first week got an award for amazing phonics thanks to nursery! I couldn't
recommend this nursery enough, all the teachers are fabulous and my son still talks about them and the friends he made here. Both myself and my son were gutted to be leaving the school/nursery.

Review from Ben A (Father of Child) published on 14 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child attended the Nursery for 12 months prior to reception, and the way in which he has been prepared for 'big' school is remarkable. The nursery promote independence, social and emotional development, physical development and key academic concepts in a way that has given us a well-rounded and
prepared young man. Our child is one of the youngest in the cohort, being born in June. The nursery focus on reception-level phonics and numeracy have allowed our child to bridge the 9 month development gap to some of his peers, and to excel in reception. Our other child did not experience such support, and we've seen a notable difference between them. And this is before considering how caring, considerate and personable the staff are. We've been supported as a family by Wychbold First and Nursery, and highly recommend them.

Outstanding. My daughter had a bad experience at another nursery so we were anxious enrolling her at another preschool. She loved it here. The staff were fantastic. Strong parent engagement throughout. Daily creative activities. The staff all appeared very experienced with specific focus on child milestones.
They engaged with speech and language therapists to improve my daughter's speech and always encouraged her to do her best. The children were always greeted with smiles at the door which made the difficult transition easier for both parents and children. 10/10.

The nursery setting at Wychbold First and Nursery School is a true gem. As a parent I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and care within the Nursery and both my children loved their time there. The staff are incredibly nurturing, providing a safe and loving environment in which my children felt valued
and supported. The custom-built nursery building, which is separate from the main first school building, is ideal for children to play and learn in a safe and secure environment. Equally the connection to the first school and the Nursery's integration in some of the whole school activities was invaluable in supporting my children's transition to Reception, providing continuity and security at a pivotal milestone. I highly recommend the Nursery at Wychbold First and Nursery School to any parent seeking a warm, engaging, and educational start for their little ones!

My family and I are loving the nursery so far. From the teacher carrying out the initial home visit to how helpful all the teachers have been with helping my son settle in. My son doesn't like to leave my side but he comes out of nursery reeling off all the fun things he has done in the day, so I know
he has lots of fun while he is there and I don't need to worry! We are looking forward to other things the school has to offer such as forest school. The headteachers seem lovely, and the school gives parents ample opportunities to get to know the school and what they have to offer. We would definitely recommend the nursery and school to others.

My little one has been attending Wychbold Nursery for 6 months now and she has come on leaps and bounds since starting. The staff have helped her settle in and have been patient in doing so. She loves the mix of indoor/outdoor activities and forest school is her favourite. The staff are kind, caring
and attentive. We have nothing but praise for Wychbold Nursery. It really is a lovely environment.

I cannot praise this nursery enough! The teachers are nurturing, professional, warm and caring. Handovers and communication is excellent. I'm always made aware of anything my daughter has been struggling with or doing well with. The environment is engaging and homely with lots for the children to play
with and learn. My child looks forward to going every morning and returns saying she's had a good day every day. She's also starting to make some academic progress and learning to share with other children. Wychbold Nursery is amazing and I'm so grateful for all they are doing for my child.

A fabulous welcoming environment for the little ones. A large room with plenty of activities and a mat for them to sit on and read, sing and listen. The little ones are taught to be independent by way of recognising their picture and marking themselves present in the class. They are taught (and helped)
to get themselves dressed and changed after PE. The room has its own set of toilets and hand washing facilities which the children are encouraged to use unaided where appropriate. There is a big forest school area and lovely outside play area with plenty of activities. The teachers are all very lovely and talkative. They always have plenty of positives to say about your child upon collection. The teachers all get involved in the fancy dress days. The children here are so happy and come out really confident raring to jump right into reception class. They have food-tasting, animal petting, first aid lessons, lots of preparation for them as they get older. A fantastic nursery setting.

I cannot thank the nursery staff enough for all that they have done for my son in his build-up to big school. The staff are faultless, kind caring and nurturing. They go above and beyond for the children and are always on hand for advice and support. My son built some beautiful relationships with all
the nursery staff and absolutely adored them. He was always so happy to go in and so happy when he came home. They made the transition from pre-school to school, very smooth and enjoyable. The nursery is bright and welcoming and they are very much made to feel a part of the school in all activities that they do. The setting is clean and tidy and they have ample facilities for the children to learn and grow. As well as bringing children on educationally they also have lots of fun doing so. They are a wonderful bunch and I owe them a lot for bringing my little boy on so much.

Wychbold Nursery is such an amazing nursery. I'm so so glad I moved my 3 children to Wychbold. They all went through the nursery. All 3 did the full 2 years and they wouldn't be the amazing children they are today without the staff from the nursery. I have used other nurseries but this one tops it by
miles.

Our son has thrived at this nursery, the staff are caring and kind. He had a potential speech problem when he first started - he's now in reception and thriving! Which I believe has a lot to do with the nursery, and the extra effort they put in with him. Every day he would come out smiling telling me
of all the exciting fun things he did. It is a fantastic nursery and I am so glad our son had 2 fantastic years there.

My son went to the nursery school for just over a year and I couldn't recommend enough. He was so happy going in every day. The teachers were all fantastic with him. I honestly never had a single complaint. He started school in September and still talks about his nursery school now and his old teachers.
As a parent, I found there's nothing better than your child going in happy every day. It gave me so much relief as a parent. The manager and the team are fantastic!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.991)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.991) out of 10 for Wychbold First and Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.991 for Wychbold First and Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.991
  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 Wychbold First and Nursery School is based on 19 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 19 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.
