Latest Reviews for Whanau Day Nursery (Welwyn Garden City)
29 May 2025
High level of care from the excellent staff who develop strong bonds
with the children. Teaching of children in preschool is excellent
preparation for reception with a strong focus on the curriculum. Level
of care for babies is also high. Menu is diverse and healthy.

Nursery director flatly refused to allow my son to be potty trained as
she personally considered it unhygienic and explained that they do not
do potty training in the under-2 room. Once my son changed the nursery,
the new nursery were happy to support me in this task, so not clear why
they could not do it. The child was often returned dirty, I had to
raise this on numerous occasions, but it did not seem to work. Staff
wear long fake nails so not clear how they manage to take care of
children. My son’s key worker was changed but we were never introduced
until we eventually left the nursery. Names were constantly misspelt in
emails, I reported issues in the nursery but they were acted upon only
after a month of chasing. Staff are constantly changing and are
inexperienced, the manager changed 3 times in less than a 9 month
period. I was unhappy and filed official complaint, nursery director
forgot about it and tried to resolve issues by saying that I better
leave the setting.
