Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Roots and Wings since July 2023, the staff and owner have been great with him and have always been on hand if we have needed to speak to them. When you son runs into nursery without looking back you know you have found a nursery that he loves to go to and feels safe and comfortable!

What a wonderful nursery. My daughter was there for two years and it brought her on leaps and bounds. The staff are excellent nothing it too much for them and the food is top notch. Even now she still talks about it and misses everyone dearly. It's a place that makes wonderful memories with children
and put theirs needs first. We miss everyone dearly it was like a second family. Highly recommend to everyone

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not be happier with the care my daughter received for the 2.5 years that she attended Roots and Wings. She made so much progress within all areas of development including Welsh Language skills, and she absolutely loved being there. She had several food allergies and the staff were so supportive
in helping us pinpoint foods that were causing her issues, even keeping a food diary with us to show her paediatrician. They were so thorough and caring and never made anything feel like a burden. During a turbulent period where my dad was on life support in hospital, they were so accommodating when I needed last minute childcare - this meant so much to our family. When it was time for my daughter to move on and start nursery school it felt like she was leaving her family - she still asks to go back 4 months later. I can't thank everyone at Roots and Wings enough for everything they did for us.

Review from Shane W (Father of Child) published on 25 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy has been with the nursery 6 months now, and our daughter attended the nursery right up until she had to go to school. I can not speak highly enough of this nursery, they go above and beyond and are like no other.
Nothing is ever too much to ask. All of the staff are friendly and approachable,
and are like family to our little one.
Due to a severe food allergy within my family my child has specific dietary requirements. I have had so much assurance from the nursery in line with this and I feel very comfortable and satisfied with them and forever thankful. Their food also looks amazing and my little one eats everything!! My daughter attends still during holiday club and will often ask to go instead of school. She has the best time and has enjoyed every day she has been there. I can not speak highly enough of Roots and Wings and would recommend the nursery to everyone.

Amazing nursery by far !
I've got two children and I've chosen this one for my second child because of all the positive and lovely comments and I prefer Root & wings !
The staff are so friendly and kind. keep you updated throughout the day on how your child is getting on. Eg. Eating , napping changing
and sleep times.
Very clean and tidy and quite a reasonable sized nursery too.
Keep up the good work ! Definitely recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant nursery, my son absolutely loves going. No tears at the door, he runs straight in without stopping to say goodbye. Consistent staff which he knows and is comfortable with. Healthy meals and snacks offered. Regular updates and photos on the app give me the reassurance he is happy. They spend
a lot of time outside in the garden or on a walk. Staff are friendly, approachable and easily contactable. He started at 8 months and was so comfortable he would shout his named worker from his cot at home instead of mum.

Roots and Wings as done wonders for my Son!
Since being in the Nursery, he's come along in leaps and bounds. The Staff are friendly and so supportive of my child.


They are responsive, and some what I've seen in the photos, the kids are constantly having interaction and most of all fun!


Also,

food from what is shown in the pictures is top notch, to the point where the children eat better than the parents

Review from Kaja S (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at roots and wings just after the Easter holidays: I was very worried about her going into a nursery as she's my first child. She absolutely adores going there 3 times a week! Every morning she wakes up she asks to go to school. The staff are the most wonderful people and the communication
between staff and parents is amazing. Not had any issues or complaints. My daughter goes in and comes back out extremely happy and as a parent I couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend 10/10 from us!

My son started at this nursery in April of this year! I had your usual stresses about leaving him in nursery whilst I went back to work. My partner and I had a full walk around the nursery before our son started and it felt very homely straight away! All the staff and the owner made us all welcome and
put us at ease! Since my child had been with roots and wings he has done many activities and tried lots of lovely new food! The staff record everything on an app which you can check anytime, with plenty of pictures! Couldn't recommend this nursery more! Thank you so much to everyone!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has been attending Roots and Wings since April 2023 and we couldn't be happier. I think the best recommendation I can give is how excited she is to come every morning. The relationships between staff and children are lovely to see and the support all members of the team give is exceptional.
They support holistic development of every child and go above and beyond to meet individual needs. The setting itself is beautifully maintained and communication is fantastic. I highly recommend Roots and Wings, and am so happy they are able to provide an after school place for her next year as I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

Roots and wings is an exceptional nursery. The level of care and attention they provide is second to none, and I am always confident leaving my child with them. My daughter has been attending from 9 months and is now 2- the way she chatters to herself at home tells me all I need to know about how she
is treated at nursery - she calls herself Goldilocks, calls me "my dear", and says things like "good choice!" and "Well done you!" to herself. She is excited and confident about going to nursery, and all staff are lovely and attentive, and update the app regularly during their day, for peace of mind. The nursery itself is spacious, modern and clean. Can't recommend enough, my second child will be attending from 9 months also.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.992)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.992) out of 10 for Roots and Wings Child Day Care 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.992 for Roots and Wings Child Day Care is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.992
  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 Roots and Wings Child Day Care is based on 11 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 11 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.
