Our daughter has recently started preschool, and we have been absolutely blown away by the care and experience she has received. As this was her first time away from her family, we were naturally nervous, but the staff made the transition so easy. They have created a true home-away-from-home...
The staff are kind, caring, and dedicated, always finding ways to extend the children's learning through engaging, themed activities. She especially loved learning about caterpillars and was so excited to see real ones in the nursery!
The quality of the resources is outstanding, everything is always spotless, and the food must be delicious because our daughter often asks us to make her nursery meals at home.
We couldn't be happier with our choice and would highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a nurturing, inspiring environment for their child.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear your daughter has settled into preschool so well and that the team helped make her first experience away from family feel so positive and reassuring. It's lovely to know she's enjoying the themed activities and nutritious...
Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear your daughter has settled into preschool so well and that the team helped make her first experience away from family feel so positive and reassuring. It's lovely to know she's enjoying the themed activities and nutritious meals. Your kind words about the team and the environment mean a great deal to us. Thank you for your recommendation.
They do not take your concern and complaint seriously. Whenever you have problem you are alone. They are not open to listen your problem. New teacher starting almost every week and they don't look experienced. And your kid needed to used to it. Manager always busy. They tell you so many things...
One other thing is their breakfast is limited with butter and bread and cereals for breakfast.

We understand how important consistency and strong relationships are in helping children feel secure and settled. We appreciate that changes can sometimes feel unsettling, and we always aim to support children through these transitions with care and sensitivity. Our leadership team regularly spend time within the rooms as part of our commitment to maintaining the highest quality of education and care. Being present alongside our educators allows us to role model best practice and build strong relationships with the children and families, and ensure we continue to deliver a nurturing learning environment. This hands on approach is something we value greatly and forms an important part of our continuous quality improvement. We remain committed to providing a safe and engaging environment where every child can thrive, and we are pleased that this commitment was recognised and reflected in the positive outcomes of our recent Ofsted inspection.Thank you again for giving us feedback.
Unfortunately, our experience at this nursery has been quite poor due to ongoing staffing issues. Teachers seem to change very frequently, and there often aren't enough staff available. Even the manager sometimes has to step in and cover in the classroom, which suggests they are struggling with...
Communication is also difficult. When we had questions or concerns and tried to speak with someone in charge, it was hard to find the right person. We were often told that staff were busy or unavailable, and getting proper answers or resolutions took a long time.
The nursery also seems to have problems with consistency. Class arrangements and routines often change without much notice, and it's not always clear how decisions are being made. This lack of stability has made it difficult for our child to settle properly.
Overall, while the facilities are nice, the constant staff changes and poor communication have made us question whether this is the right place for our child. We hope the management problem will be resolved soon.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience at our nursery.

Our daughter joined Fennies Reading in April and we are so glad we choose this nursery for her, the whole team are so caring and truly nurtured our daughter as she transitioned from home to nursery. The management team communicated clearly were understanding and supported us as a whole family really taking the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Our daughter has had a great start to her nursery life, we get regular updates on her development via the app. What has been so impressive to us is her ability to use sign language since joining the nursery. Her development is really impressive as she has access to lots of fun learning opportunities and her learning is well supported. Most importantly we know she is well cared for and she truly enjoys seeing her key persons and friends everyday.

We were quite apprehensive about our toddler starting nursery, but after meeting Kiri and Tayla on the open day, we were completely sold. Their passion, warmth, and genuine love for what they do instantly put us at ease. We decided to look past the fact that the nursery was new because we could see...
The transition process was smooth and seamless, and our little one settled in far better than we ever imagined. The care, patience, and attention shown to both the children and parents have been incredible. It's clear that every child is seen and valued as an individual. We couldn't be happier knowing our daughter is in such a nurturing, positive environment surrounded by people who truly care.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled and that the team made such a positive impression from the very beginning.

The range of resources and activities provided by the staff are not only exciting for the children but also fun for adults to observe.

We appreciate how the team keeps us connected through regular photos and daily updates, which help ease our minds.
