The Wigwam Day Nursery

Good environment for kids and the staff is really helpful. They do ensure that the child settles and answers all the concerns with patience.

I am very pleased with the choice we made regarding the nursery for our son. During the 3 years that our son stayed at the Wigwam nursery, the team really spent a lot of time and effort to understand the needs of our son and to adapt the activities and food offering to those needs. I really liked the focus child weeks, where we had the chance to discuss our child’s development and to work together with the staff on the support mechanisms and new goals to nurture the development of our son. The staff were always very accommodating, caring and friendly. They organise different activities throughout the year and also I found the parent’s portal to be very useful. On this portal, we could see notes, videos and pictures of our son’s adventures at the nursery. After 3 years, our son has developed a lot of attachment to the staff and other kids that attend this nursery and I’m sure he has built very good memories from his time there.

My son started at Wigwam when he was 11 months old, and continued on to 4 years old before he started school. He started on 3 days a week and we increased this to 4 days in his last year. Before we joined the nursery, I met the key staff and visited a session, one of the team came to meet me at home to see my son. He settled very quickly, the staff were kind and caring. I was reassured that they would care for him and make sure he enjoyed every day. He joined in the dancing and french lessons. He loved playing on the indoor climbing frame and he napped outside in a covered buggy. He made some good friends and couldn’t wait to see them every day. He loved the outdoor play area. The nursery has its own kitchen and he had all his meals there. He never came home hungry and loved sitting at the table with the other children. The nursery is very good at matching key workers and children. One of the reasons I chose Wigwam was the wide experience of the team. We were very happy, sad to leave.

My son has been at the Wigwam Day Nursery for several years now. I’ve always found the nursery to be very welcoming and they encourage parents to come in and spend time there. I have been fortunate enough to be able to go in to share cultural and craft activities with the children. Most recently I went in to read a book about the first Thanksgiving and help the children to make their own mini turkeys. The nursery has been making a shift towards the children experiencing more natural materials. Every morning when I drop my son off, I notice the garden has been set up with many wonderful activities using natural materials. The emphasis on outdoor learning has fostered a real love and curiosity of nature in my son. The staff are highly creative and caring. They take the time to check in with me at the beginning and end of the day and are willing to help work through the challenges my son may exhibit.

My daughter started her nursery this August at age of 2.5 years and she has never been to nursery before. She had just moved to the UK from India and everything looked different to her then – the people, language, the food and the place. I personally feel the staff at nursery did a great job of helping her settle into the new environment. My little girl is so happy and energetic in the morning to go to the nursery and even in the evening when I pick her up. She has bonded very well with some of the staff in her group. She has picked up English very well in the last two months considering we speak a second language at home, as well as her capacity to interact in English with us and other kids have improved. I highly recommend the nursery.

Fantastic and hardworking staff. Very accommodative. The staff keep you informed of all the progress your child makes. Polite and takes time to explain things to your understanding. I will choose this nursery again if I have to.

We are very satisfied by The Wigwam nursery. Our little daughter seems so happy here; she eats very well, and she is always in a good mood when we pick her up. It is not a very big nursery, so it has this family feel. The staff is very attentive, and the communication between staff and parents is very good. We would highly recommend it!

My son started to attend Wigwam nursery this year and it has been an amazing journey. This nursery definitely has a family vibe. Friendly and supportive staff who always greet you with a smile. Professional nursery teachers who have been so great with my son. I have only good things to say about Wigwam. My only wish is I wish I had found you earlier. Thank you to all the staff.

We chose Wigwam Day Nursery because of the nice, family feel it offered and we are so glad we did. It has a wonderful nurturing environment and the staff is very helpful and skilled in working with the kids and looking after their individual needs. My son has thrived, both physically and mentally at Wigwam and I credit his carers for all their hard work, especially, his carer since the beginning.

My daughter joined the nursery when she was a year old and now she has turned 4. Time flies and it’s so hard to say goodbye. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone and of course, if we decided to have a second child, this would definitely be the nursery that my children would be in. I want to say a huge thanks to the manager who manages the nursery so well. This makes us feel secure, as parents, that our children are in good hands and they keep us updated with everything. Also, I want to mention all the staff, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter and for your patience and especially the communication in the past 3 years as this is so important to us. Please keep doing what you do guys as you are brilliant.
