Wendover Day Nursery

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery three days a week, everyone takes such good care of her and she has a lovely relationship with all of the staff. The activities are really varied and they have lots of outside time so we know she has lots of fresh air during the day. Her language has come on so well since starting two months ago. We are kept up to date with her day to day activities really well on the app.

Choosing a nursery for your child is such a big decision. We had looked around a few places and we loved the feel of Wendover Day Nursery, the big bright rooms, natural resources and most importantly the big garden! It was a bit of a leap of faith going to a brand new nursery, but we’ve been there since the very beginning and not regretted it one bit. Being a lockdown baby, it took a while for my daughter to settle in but the staff have been brilliant and so caring, both to me and my daughter! I really struggled at the beginning, leaving my daughter with someone else as she’d never been left with anyone before, not even family. But the nursery team acknowledged this, sending me additional updates and photos of my happy little girl throughout the day. The activities have all been great, and the team really focus on the interests of each child. We also receive newsletters and different activity suggestions which are really helpful too. Would 100% recommend!

Never in a million years did I think my clingy lockdown baby would settle into nursery so easily! The nursery offered generous time for settling in and they have been incredibly welcoming and caring towards my daughter. She toddles in in the mornings, no problem. The rooms and outdoor space are lovely, calm but stimulating environments, all created with the children in mind. I like the detail on the Famly app they use as I always know exactly how long she has slept for and what she has eaten. And speaking of food – I feel pretty jealous when I read her menu each day. Days are filled with messy activities and lots of outdoor time. My daughter has quickly warmed to the staff and I trust them entirely. I can go to work relaxed. It was a gamble choosing a brand new nursery with no reputation but I have only good things to say and feel we made the right decision.

We visited quite a few nurseries before choosing one for our daughter. None of them compared to Wendover Day Nursery in terms of the facilities, the expansive outdoor space and welcoming nature of the staff. It was an easy choice.
When it came to her starting, it was a wrench for me as I’d never left her for so long before and I found it tough. The staff were all so comforting during her settling in, answering all of my questions with kindness. They just made the whole process so much easier. Now she absolutely loves going to nursery, she often doesn’t want to leave again in the evening. She’s come on so much in all areas and I genuinely feel happy now when I drop her off as I know she’s going to have a great day every time.

My 2 sons have attended Wendover Day Nursery full-time since March 2021 (aged 23 months and 4 years).
The staff are truly amazing and the activities for the children are planned with a huge amount of attention to detail and care including learning about different religious holidays and diversity all presented in age-appropriate ways. The children learn through play and enjoy magnificent outdoor and indoor spaces across all the different rooms. The resources available to the children are amazing and the building is purpose-built creating the perfect environment.
The communication with parents is really good and the nursery make a huge effort to create events including parents which the kids really enjoy. It makes me feel part of their day even though I’m not there and it makes it easier for me to continue discussions about the days activities after nursery.
Thank you for taking such good care of my boys.

My daughter has just moved up to the toddler room and is doing brilliantly.
She looks forward to going every time. Her speech has come along really well since moving up. The girls who look after her are all lovely.

Our daughter settled into nursery really quickly and is always excited to see the staff when she gets there in the mornings. All the staff know the children’s names, even if they are from a different room, which adds to the friendly atmosphere of the nursery. They regularly take the children out of the nursery for trips to the garden centre or park and have different activities to do with the children every day so they are never bored.

I absolutely loved my daughter going here and more importantly my daughter loved being there, we are absolutely gutted that we are no longer going to be using Wendover Day Nursery.
The teachers are so loving, caring and nurturing towards the children, which is my main priority when looking at nurseries you will see once you read the Ofsted report, regardless of their rating the report reads differently. In my opinion, paperwork can wait if it means staff are interactive with the children.
They are always out playing, learning about new things and having trips to the garden centre and park.
My daughter has come far in the short 3 months she was there, from being a shy individual to growing confidence in not only the nursery setting but socially outside too. It’s been so lovely to watch.
I would highly recommend Wendover Day Nursery to any parent looking for a great, happy environment for their child to be cared for.
Thank you Wendover Day Nursery.
