September 19, 2024 at 2:14 pmThey truly care for the kids in there care and working with parents of each kid’s development. I cannot suggest the care provided at Wellies in the year our daughter has been attending. They provide assistance and advice when needed. So pleased we chose them.

October 1, 2024 at 4:30 amThe kids have a wide variety of activities each day. Wellies Day Nursery is a fantastic childcare centre set on a beautiful farm. Children are treated with the utmost care, assistance and adore from team and are encouraged to try new things and do their best.
Staff offer additional assistance to kids where needed, which is greatly appreciated.
Our kids run in with cheerful faces every day and are greeted by cheerful team. When we collect, the kids are full of the exciting day they have had with their friends and team.
I have recommended Wellies to friends and colleagues and wouldn’t hesitate to do so in the future. We adore being part of the Wellies family.

October 27, 2024 at 8:26 pmThe behaviours they learn at Wellies are the building blocks for such great behaviour and inclusion. Both my eldest kids went to Wellies, and now my youngest goes, we would definitely not send her anywhere else, even though we have moved it’s well worth the drive as the care and service is exceptional! All of the carers and the owner make the kids sense so welcome and are so nice and engaging. I can’t thank them enough for what they do each day. The outside space they have is incredible, so much space to playtime.

December 20, 2024 at 6:50 amThe owner puts the kids first, and the team care for each and every one of the kids that attend. Wellies Day Nursery is definitely a childcare centre I would definitely highly suggest to family and friends. It is set on farm grounds so lots of outdoor space for 2-year-olds to run about, and he loves seeing the tractors and the cows in the field. The owner is consistently there if you need assistance or just a little chat. The team give you daily pictures and updates of your kid’s day, which is excellent when you are working parents.

January 26, 2025 at 11:50 pmStaff spends lots of time with each kid and are excellent at treating kids as the individuals they are. My daughter has come on enormously since going to Wellies! The manager is also fantastic – open and consistently has the time to listen to any feedback or concerns, even if not related to the childcare centre. The activities, which are regularly updated are stimulating and interesting and the kids go outside into a lovely big garden as much as possible. The setting is warm, welcoming and fun!
I wouldn’t want my daughter to go at anywhere else.

March 1, 2025 at 10:42 pmBoth my kids have attended, my eldest has just left for school and my youngest still attends. Absolutely adore Wellies Day Nursery. The team are incredible, I consistently marvel at how they remember each parent for each of the kids even if your kid isn’t in the room the key worker works in. I was drawn to Wellies by the owner/manager’s passion for her childcare centre and how engaged the kids all are. The outside space the kids have access to is incredible and both my little ones have loved looking at the cows and the tractors.
We moved out of the area but I ensured that my kids still attended Wellies Day Nursery as I just couldn’t trust anyone else.
I adore the regular updates on the app they use so you get to see what your kids have been up to whilst at childcare centre.
I cannot suggest Wellies enough.

March 6, 2025 at 9:45 amThe team are just fantastic and the activities they do every day are creative and help the kids to progress. Our daughter has attended Wellies for the last few years and we adore the childcare centre and preschool on site. The manager knows all the kids and is easily approachable, just what you want from someone running a childcare centre. It is such a fantastic setting amongst the fields and from the preschool building the kids can see the cows and tractors. What better place to put your kids every day! I suggest it to everyone and it was the best decision we ever truly made to send our daughter there. Our new addition will soon be joining her sister there and we couldn’t be more confident in the fact she will be well looked after there.

March 12, 2025 at 3:16 pmMy son has flourished since being at Wellies and I know he will surely miss all the team when he goes on to big school. Wellies is an exceptional childcare centre, when I had to put my son in childcare before I intended due to redundancy, the owner and her team put me at ease. I already have registered my second son who I know will adore Wellies as much as his big brother.

March 17, 2025 at 11:55 amMostly for me, I wanted my little boy to have fun when discovering at this crucial time of his life and the opportunities provided to him by the fantastic team and the encouragement to delight in the outdoors at Wellies allows exactly this. My little boy has attended Wellies for the past 7 months and I can see a vast difference in his social and intellectual ability. I would definitely suggest Wellies time and time again.

March 20, 2025 at 3:25 amThey show empathy and explain to my toddler instead of inflicting harsh discipline which is what we do at home and I like that he has consistent messaging at home or childcare centre. Wellies make discovering fun and I’ve found they are very kind and understanding of the different phases my kid has gone through. They also give advice when asked regarding anything from constipation to potty training!
There’s a big focus on outside playtime and sensory discovering with a huge garden area and the childcare centre is on a farm so they get to see tractors and cows etc too.

April 23, 2025 at 6:27 amFor the past 7 years, Wellies have been part of our family, taking the most incredible care of our kids. Wellies are simply incredible, both our kids have attended from 8 months through to age 4, with our youngest about to leave for school. The team are so kind and attentive and help to nurture each kid as an individual, rather than as a number. The owner who manages the childcare centre is truly incredible, from our first visit I felt her enthusiasm for ensuring they provide the best quality of care possible. You can see that she is investing back into the childcare centre with new resources and changing practices to meet new thinkings and requirements. Both our kids have thrived at Wellies, and loved every minute of their time there, they especially adore all the outside space. Our eldest was so prepared for school thanks to Wellies that the transition was so easy and have no doubt this will be the case with our youngest. I can’t suggest enough this childcare centre.

May 4, 2025 at 7:08 amUltimately, kids of such a young age do not understand fully what is going on, so it’s great to see that whilst adhering to guidelines the kids are shown comfort and care when needs be. Our son has returned to Wellies following the easing of lockdown and it’s so comforting to know he’s in such secure hands with the owner and her team. It’s great to be back.

May 10, 2025 at 7:21 pmThe team ensure the best relationships with the kids and parents alike. Wellies is a bright, open, engaging childcare centre. Healthy food, first aid training are clear priorities for the manager and team which is very reassuring. They offer services that set them apart from others inc the eye log system. My kid is cheerful here and has grown in confidence so much. I couldn’t suggest Wellies enough.

May 21, 2025 at 10:17 pmToday was my daughter’s last day at Wellies pre-school as she starts school this September and she’s been there for 4 years. I can’t praise the Wellies team enough.
My daughter has consistently loved going into the childcare centre, she’s formed lovely friendships with the kids and her carers who truly are a credit to the childcare centre. My daughter’s development has also been so impressive. The outdoor space is incredible and being on the farm gives the kids an opportunity to see the animals.
I have a childcare centre within a 2-minute walking distance however I chose to drive for 10 minutes to take my daughter to Wellies which I think speaks volumes about the childcare centre.

June 5, 2025 at 8:19 amAt pre-school it was noticed she was showing an interest in discovering to read so they taught her – when she started school she could read already. My daughter started at Wellies when she was one year old and left for big school this past September. They also helped her become a little more adventurous when playing outside (she can be quite cautious) and encouraged her to explore nature. They consistently showed her affection and she was consistently cheerful to go in, looked forward to it even. This is why even though we have moved from the area we still take our son there – it means a one-hour drive twice a day but we would definitely not have our son go anywhere else.
The manager and the team are superb. They are attentive and consistently cheerful. They truly make you sense like your kid is in great hands when you say goodbye each morning.

June 18, 2025 at 3:59 pmThe team are all very welcoming and well‑informed, I couldn’t ask for better care, they are all positive and loving towards the kids. Fantastic childcare centre, my daughter only goes once a week but she absolutely loves it, she doesn’t want to come home when I pick her up! My daughter consistently has a fun packed day, full of discovering, she comes home asking when she is going back again!
