Review from Samantha B (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since our eldest daughter started at The Old School House two years ago, we have had nothing but a professional, attentive, and caring experience.
We were so impressed with the nursery that we later enrolled our youngest daughter as well. Both of our girls have absolutely thrived since starting at The Old School House. Their speech has come on amazingly, and the life skills they have developed during their time at nursery have been phenomenal.
The whole nursery team have always looked after not only our children, but us as parents too. We have a health issue within our wider family, and whenever there has been a chickenpox, sickness bugs etc in the nursery, they have always phoned us straight away to let us know. This has given us enormous comfort and reassurance, and truly shows how much they care about our girls' health and wellbeing.

I cannot recommended the nursery high enough. The facilities are fabulous and the food they eat, well, they eat like queens when there.

Overall Experience

I couldn't praise the staff and school house team more. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, always great activities and learning through fun. Staff have wonderful relationships with the children and I wish could book in for lunch and tea as the foods alway amazing. I know that when I leave her there for the day she's being truly well taken care of.

Overall Experience

My child started The Old School House Nursery Whittington at 7 months old. I was nervous to send my child to nursery (as most parents are) but within the first few days I knew I would love this nursery for my child, and I still do 7 months later. The staff are a credit to the nursery. They uphold a high level of care, keeping me informed on the app and staying on top of formalities but it does not in any way take away from the personal touch and the love they show towards my child, so it truly feels like the best of both worlds. The building itself is the best I've seen, inside and out. The children are always doing different activities which has improved my child's confidence and continues to do so. They also provide varied and nutritious meals every day. Management have been very open to listen to my suggestions as a parent which is important. I would recommend this nursery to everyone and thank the staff for their hard work and their invaluable contribution to my child's development!

Review from S P (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending The Old School House Whittington for just over a year now. Whilst in their care, my son has flourished beyond belief. My child requires specialist attention due to having autism and requiring extra care.

It was and always has been a fear of mine being able to comfortably and safely leave my child in someone's care that isn't my own! All of the staff and management have made this the easiest experience for myself and my little boy! He adores all his staff and you can clearly see they also adore all of the children in their care. All of the staff do truly create such a loving, warm environment for the children. Not only do they create this for the children but also their parents/families too. The care provided is second to none and I cannot thank them enough for all they've done and all they continue to do! Each and every member of staff is worth their weight in gold! Thanks girls- we'd be lost without you.

Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your son has flourished during his time with us at The Old School House Whittington.

Review from Ellis C (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery goes above and beyond for every child who attends. The staff are welcoming, friendly, attentive and caring and offer the best possible care. I love the app as it means you can check in on how your child is doing and staff always respond to messages on there. The children are given amazing play opportunities every single day and the staff work hard to plan such lovely activities - the teddy bear picnic from the other week was brilliant! I love how they offer parents stay-and-play opportunities as well as parents evenings and they also treat us to breakfast on the go! I wouldn't want my daughter to go anywhere else!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, ensuring our children have a caring, nurturing and fulfilling environment is paramount to us and we are so pleased to hear how happy you are with the nursery.

Overall Experience
After a fabulous experience at the a different nursery with my daughter a few years ago, I was thrilled to learn the Whittington Nursery was opening, which is closer to home.
My son started in January this year and settled straight in. From his first settle in session, I had a warming feeling that the staff truly do care about the children and form such lovely bonds.
After just a few months of starting nursery, my son needed an unplanned operation and required a couple of months away to recover. The staff were incredibly supportive and we received messages and a very sweet handmade card from the children in his group.
My son was welcomed back with open arms, he has now been back at nursery for 3 weeks and is absolutely thriving. He's back to his normal happy self and it amazes me how much he's learning there.
The staff there are one of a kind, very professional and extremely caring.

Highly recommend Old School House Whittington to any age range.

Reply from Katie Rooker, Events & Premium Assurance Manager at The Old School House Day Nursery Whittington

Thank you so much for your lovely words, it really means a lot to us. We are so happy that your son is back at nursery with all his friends, we really missed him. Making sure that you are happy with the care that is provided for your son is what matters to us the most.

Review from Siobhan P (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

These guys have been absolutely amazing with my little boy. He was very shy and nervous and reluctant to leave my side and struggled with the settle in sessions but the staff were so good with him. Caring for him and making him feel safe all while keeping me updated throughout. He is now thriving and walks in happy and excited to be there. His speech and confidence have come on in leaps and bounds and it’s lovely to see how happy he is there. The rooms are beautiful and always have lovely activities set out for the kids plus an amazing outdoor space and a variety of nutritious food. I am always kept in the loop with updates daily and weekly regarding his progress and what he’s been up to. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough and I am so glad I chose it to send my little boy to.

Review from Rowena W (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Astounded by this nursery and how it goes above and beyond for the children (and the parents!).
The Nursery Manager is a bundle of positivity, and her warmth and pure joy are completely infectious. She always greets us with such enthusiasm - arriving at nursery feels like arriving home!
Every special activity put on for the children is created with extra special care and attention - from decorating for Valentine's Day to turning the rooms into scenes from a favorite English children's book writer for World Book Day (loved the cave!), to having a petting zoo for the Easter stay and play!
I feel so lucky to be near such an incredible nursery. Every childcare worker we've encountered in robins and hedgehogs rooms so far has been better than we could have wished for - bright, engaged, and caring. They work so hard to create such a beautiful and nurturing environment.

I can't recommend Old School House Nurseries enough. They are worth every penny.

I cannot fault this nursery at all, the place is amazing. And my little boy loves it and the rooms and the facilities are incredible. The staff are absolutely amazing, my little one has come on leaps and it’s definitely all down to the staff at Whittington. The food menu amazes me every single day and I love how my little boy enjoys everything he is given. Highly recommend it, and I’ll be sad when he has to leave for school!

Review from V W (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son was at a previous nursery which at the time we thought was good. Having since joined the Whittington nursery, we were blown away at how amazing this nursery is. From the staff to the management, everything was beyond what we expected. My son’s development came on in leaps and bounds and it continues to show as each week passes. We have daily updates and the communication from their app is always great to check in and see how his day goes. The staff offer a warm and friendly home from Home reception, you leave with a sense of comfort knowing your child is happy to be there.

They have their own in-house chef that offers a wide array of healthy foods and snacks and can honestly say my son much prefers the food here than home.

We had tried various nurseries in the Tamworth area, and this setting was by far a top-tier level of excellence.

Reply from Phillippa Berry, Assistant to Emily Carter at The Old School House Day Nursery Whittington

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we love to see the development and growth within the children that attend the setting. We are also extremely fond of our in-house cook - his meals are delicious!
