I would sincerely like to extend my deepest gratitude to the entire staff at Wonderzone for the love, care, kindness, and unwavering support they have shown to my kids throughout their preschool journey. When we first enrolled them, we were naturally a bit anxious, especially as they were among the
earliest children to start at Wonderzone. However, watching them learn, grow, and thrive each day quickly reassured us that we had made the right choice. They have proven time and again that the staff at Wonderzone are nothing short of the best. We really appreciated the attention to detail they put into every activity, lesson, and learning module, making the kids ready for school.

Wonder Zone has truly been a blessing for our family. As a mother of a child with additional needs, my son does not yet communicate or eat. I was incredibly anxious about how he would adjust to nursery life. From the very beginning, the staff at Wonder Zone made the transition smooth, reassuring, and
full of care.


They took the time to understand his needs and supported him with so much patience, compassion, and genuine warmth. It's clear that they are not just doing a job; they truly care about the children and are committed to helping each child reach their full potential in their time and way.


My son has settled in so well, and while he still faces challenges, I've seen him become more comfortable, secure, and responsive in their care. It's such a comfort knowing he is in a space where he is not only safe but valued and understood.


The team are truly special, lovely, kind-hearted people who go above and beyond every day.

Staff are young and careful with kids. They give them enough attention and organise lots of different games throughout the day to entertain kids. I recommend to my friends as they have young children as well. My friends booked their kid and already started nursery at the same place as our kid at Wonder
Zone Nursery. So far so good team Wonder Zone, keep up the good work and I will keep spreading good words about you!

Wonder Zone has been a lovely nursery. As a mother that was so nervous to leave my daughter they made the transition so much easier. My daughter has settled so well and really enjoys her time there. They care so much for the children and want them to be happy and to reach their full potential. Above
all they are such lovely people which is hard to come across! I am so glad I found this nursery.

My 12-month old daughter has attended Wonder Zone Nursery since September 2024 and I am so pleased with how well she has settled in, she is always smiling on drop-off. I feel listened to and supported by all the staff and I have no doubt that my daughter is receiving the best care which has been a great
reassurance as an anxious mum. The app is regularly updated by staff, with photos posted from time to time which is always nice to see. Thank you to the team for all that you do!

My son joined the nursery Mid July 24 and my family and I were nervous as he'd not been around anyone other than close family. We needed a nursery that was close to grandparents. Diversity was very important to us. My son took a while to settle in but the nursery was very good at helping with the process
- and keeping us updated on his daily progress through the app (comments, pictures) but also via a detailed handover at pick-up times. Communication has been brilliant- His Keyworkers have been great at building rapport with him and I - where I've gained their trust in leaving my 23-month-old in their care. My son has progressed, in terms of development and character - we've taken things step by step as each child responds to change differently. The manager has been quick at responding to queries. In general I'd praise the staff who work there. Positive experience so far from an apprehensive parent.

My son has been going here since April 2024.
Since then he's come on so well with everything. His speech has become a lot more pronounced and he can string sentences together.
His eating has become more varied and loves to have a lot of different foods at home now.
I love that you can see what he's
doing and what time things are happening.
The staff are amazing so friendly and provide you with so much information.
I've had to up the days that he goes and he is loving it more than anything.
I'm looking forward to him moving up into preschool.
I can't praise them enough here so happy that I have sent him to Wonder Zone.
Thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

May was our second month there and you would think my daughter had been there a year; friendly and chatty to all the staff, playing with her peers and just having the time of her life.
The staff are absolutely amazing. They are well versed in the EYFS and are clear about what my child can do and what
they're working on, all in the name of play.
The chef creates lovely menus and the variety is so good, that she loves (and eats) everything that's made!
While the outdoor space isn't 'extremely' spacious they make good use of what they have with a lot of creative play areas and I love they go out in nearly all the weather.
The app is something else! Live updates, notes, photos, it's so great to check in and see what she's been up to in the day.
Overall I am so pleased with this place and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you Wonder Zone.

Nice nursery and staff. Small but friendly environment and our son seems to be enjoying his time there and developing well. The nursery is new and growing fairly fast with new children joining. We receive regular updates on the app and our son tells us lots about the fun activities he does and often
comes home with some of his drawings and paintings etc.

I'm very pleased and impressed with the care my son receives at Wonder Zone Nursery. It is located in a calm place away from the busy streets but easily accessible as well. The staff are approachable, attentive and nurturing. The settling-in session before starting helped him to settle well with his
key person. Even the freshly prepared meals menu is unique each day. The staff encouraged and supported his potty training with tips to follow at home, and it is going very well without much hassle. At collection time, the staff gives a clear and detailed report of the activities that he did throughout the day. We also receive a live feed on the app regarding meals, toileting, photos of the day's activities etc. At Wonder Zone Nursery, they follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and we receive feedback on the achievements. My kid comes home very happy and I feel safe to send him to Wonder Zone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Wonder Zone Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.882 for Wonder Zone Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.882

  • b) 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 Wonder Zone Nursery is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
