My son has been attending for the past 9 months and he absolutely loves it here. Happily walks in and happily walks out. He has made so much progress thanks to the dedicated staff who take their time to work with me as a parent to work on my sons development and milestones.

We moved our daughter to Woodside from another setting for many (negative) reasons. I was very apprehensive about moving her but I wish I had done it sooner! I couldn't recommend them enough. The Manager has established such a wonderful team! They have truly been amazing, our daughter has settled so
quickly. The team go above and beyond on a daily basis, such a lovely environment and approach. The team are amazing and that filters down to the children. Thank you Woodside, we appreciate you!

Our son truly grew up during his time at Fennies. It was his first experience and the team were so gentle to us and him. He blossomed with attentiveness and care. We moved area, however would have loved him to stay and grow there. The staff were wonderful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having moved to the nursery from another nursery we have been hugely impressed with the provision. The children have opportunities to get involved in trips, extra activities such as picnics/farm trips, art specialist teacher and outstanding resources. The staff are warm, nurturing and friendly. My son
absolutely adores his new nursery and we have been so pleased with the move, we wish we'd done it sooner.

Review from Amy P (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter moved from another local nursery/preschool last month. Her previous nursery, while rated the highest locally, could/would not keep her for the extra year while we delay her school start, as she's a summer/August born. Fennies has been enormously helpful, accommodating and comforting as we've
changed over into their 'Inventors' room. The teachers, and even the other children, are so friendly and welcoming - there is a real sense of calm, happiness, fun and community. All the basics are covered, and more. The thing I've been struck with most, and that literally warms my heart, is I really feel how invested they are in my child and I genuinely feel like they like and appreciate her. It makes me want to cry happy tears.

We couldn't rate Fennies Woodside any higher! The amazing staff made us feel comfortable and at ease from one day and they did a fantastic job of keeping us informed of how our daughter was doing, both verbally and through the app. The range of activities is unparalleled to anything else we've experienced
and the team go above and beyond to engage the children and create special events. We were invited regularly to take part in parent events and they have done a fantastic job of creating a parent community. Every member of staff always took the time to talk to us and to make our daughter feel special and we are extremely grateful to everyone at Fennies Woodside.

Absolutely nothing but positive reviews on this nursery, the staff are all lovely. The nursery has a positive feeling my child is always happy at drop off and pick up and has made amazing bonds with staff members. The nursery is clean and the facilities are fantastic. I know that when dropping my child
to nursery he's going to have a great day and I don't need to have mum guilt. I couldn't ask more from a nursery and I have recommended this nursery to other parents

Fantastic nursery! My little boy started here 4 months ago aged 19 months and like any other parent I was worried about him starting especially as he was so attached to me! Since starting here he has progressed immensely, I noticed an improvement in his speech, social skills and confidence. Settling
in was hard for the first couple of weeks (as he was so attached to me) but all the staff there are amazing, they helped him settle in quickly and are really understanding and helpful, they work with you to achieve your child’s best outcome. My son literally runs in at drop-off now! I couldn’t have made a better choice picking a nursery, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) out of 10 for Fennies Croydon, Lower Addiscombe Road 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.980 for Fennies Croydon, Lower Addiscombe Road is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.98
  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 Fennies Croydon, Lower Addiscombe Road is based on 29 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 29 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.
