Dicky Birds Day Nursery and Preschool Wimbledon, Dundonald Road

My oldest had attended Dicky Birds for nearly 3 years since he was 9 months old. He went through all three rooms from ducklings to woodpeckers. I’ll be honest I found the administration of the waiting list had room for improvement but once he was there being cared for he was a very happy little boy. Not only do the nursery care for they also educate the children to a high standard. They have PE in the park, take trips to the library, they keep the children very engaged. The communication with parents is very good and managers are approachable. We struggled a little when the pandemic struck to continue the interactions to find out how our child was getting on but the nursery worked with us setting up zooms to make sure we knew about our child’s progress. We only left because we moved home, we’d highly recommend Dicky Birds.

My son has been so well cared for at Dicky Birds Dundonald Road throughout the time he’s attended (3.5 months to current age of 3.5 years). He’s been encouraged and stretched in all the different rooms/levels, and has really enjoyed the relationships he has both with staff and with other children. I have been really impressed with Dicky Birds’ communications and relationship management with parents, as well as all the family/community events they have arranged (pre-Covid).

Dicky Birds Nursery Dundonald Road is a wonderful nursery and I would highly recommend it. My son loved going there and all the staff we’re very friendly and caring, the manager is so warm and the teacher in the Puffins room is fantastic and great at teaching and interacting with the children. My son attended since he was a baby and the only reason we left was to move to another area, but we were so sad to leave! Food was great and healthy and being next to the park as well as having a good and entertaining garden were real positives.

Wonderful nursery with extremely caring staff and an amazing variety of activities for the kids. Incredibly creative play and well structured day, lots of fun seasonal activities. The food is excellent and the facilities really good. My four year old loves it.

From nearly a year ago when we started the settling in process for our shy baby, to now watching her happily playing when we come to collect her each day, the staff have always been so positive and supportive. We look forward to hearing all the different songs she learns there when she comes home, and it’s great to see photos and descriptions online of what she’s been up to – my only negative would be that we’d always like to see more photos and videos of her day, but that’s more a reflection of us as parents than the nursery!

I think it’s a testament to how lovely the staff at the nursery is when my daughter is happy to go into the nursery despite otherwise being very clingy to me. The staff (especially her key person) is enthusiastic and caring, and I appreciate that the staff accommodate our request to manage her eczema while at nursery. The kids have plenty of activities indoors and in their garden, and also occasionally take the kids (under 2 group) out to the park across the road. I also love that most of the time when I drop my child to nursery there is singing and reading going on. I also enjoy the daily verbal updates during pick up and end of the week photo updates. I initially thought the sleeping room was quite small and was worried that my daughter wouldn’t nap well, however, was pleased to find out that she is able to nap for hours so am happy it’s no longer a concern. I would definitely recommend this nursery! Thank you.

This is an amazing nursery, the staff are so caring and really tend to the needs of each individual child. My little boy loves going to nursery and always comes out with a smile, he’s learning loads and developing so quickly thanks to the amazing staff at the nursery!

Staff go the extra mile to ensure children are comfortable in the nursery setting once they join the nursery. As a new parent, I was extremely worried about my girl feeling good in the nursery, and I am impressed by how understanding and supporting the staff have been. Overall, we are happy we choose Dicky Birds, Dundonald Road.

Our two kids both went to this nursery, their happy faces are the best endorsement of the quality care they received. The staff is very attentive and caring. We are delighted to see how our kids are prepared for the next school.
We are always happy to recommend the nursery to other families. We love the sense of community in this nursery, many families have all their siblings in the nursery, and the staff know the children since they are young and have been with them during their early years.
