February 26, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter aged 2 started Wise Owls at Shurlock Row in September 2019 and she instantly settled. She has come on leaps and bounds with her speech and confidence since starting nursery and her key worker is brilliant! The outdoor play area is big and spacious and the children are lucky to have Forest School. The staff make a great team and are always happy to chat and help with any questions/queries and are so understanding. I will be gutted when its time for my daughter to leave to start primary school.

July 9, 2020 at 12:00 amThis nursery has been amazing for our son. Our son has thrived with the support of the wonderful staff and the beautiful setting. There is no other place we would have chosen. During this very difficult time, they have given him a place to have fun and play with his friends again.

July 27, 2020 at 12:00 amTaking into account the current situation, I feel that the manager and her team are coping with and managing the nursery to the best of their ability (within their control). The team are super and we will be sad to be starting primary school in September.

October 13, 2020 at 12:00 amFrom the moment I arrived for a visit, I knew this was the right nursery for my son. It was filled with warmth and welcoming staff. It is always clean and my son comes home always talking about his day. The daily journal allows me to be continuously updated on what he has been doing and his progress. In the few months he has been there, he has developed so much and I can’t thank all the team at Wise Owls enough.

October 13, 2020 at 12:00 amSince being taken over by Wise Owls you can see that Foxley nursery and its facilities have improved significantly. My 3-year-old has been there for approximately a year now and thoroughly enjoys his time there. It’s well managed, clean and lots of fun for the kiddies. They do lots of engaging activities, learning, playing and outdoor forest school. They have a large outdoor space which the children seem to really enjoy. The staff are really friendly and approachable too.

October 15, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son started at Wise Owls at Foxley Nursery in September and has been very happy since joining. The staff have been fantastic and supportive of me and my son throughout the transition to nursery. I was worried that to start nursery at 2-years-old would be hard, but he has cherished his new carers and feels very at home at Foxley. He loves all of the activities, both indoors and outdoors that they organise. He really enjoys all of the meals too, especially the hot lunches!

October 15, 2020 at 12:00 amFoxley nursery has been the best we could have hoped for our son. His speech and development were delayed and the work the staff have done with him has been second to none and he is now at the appropriate development for his age. The nursery is always clean, welcoming and staff are approachable. The staff have the time of day to tell you about your child’s day but also always willing to talk and help with any problems we have.
The staff are just wonderful and my son loves all of them and missed them terribly during lockdown. The nursery is in such lovely surroundings and is well maintained. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

October 16, 2020 at 12:00 amWhen visiting Wise Owls at Foxley (Shurlock Row) I found it had an amazing outdoor space including a forest school, as well as indoor space. It has recently been renovated with added space for children to play and because of this, I would highly recommend this setting. Furthermore, the staff are very welcoming and are more than happy to help in any way they can, they are truly there to provide the best care for your children. They are up to date with all training (Covid included) and take all measures to ensure your children are safe and healthy. Once again I cannot recommend this setting enough.

November 16, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has thrived since going back in September 2020, she absolutely loves going and gets so excited on the days she goes! Her key workers are incredibly helpful and have been really accommodating when we needed to increase my daughter’s hours. My little girl comes home happy and full of beans which is all a mum can ask for when picking up their child.

November 16, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son attends the nursery and has been very happy. The manager and the team are really accommodating, and the nursery itself has recently undergone refurbishment making it lovely and clean. With great outdoor facilities.

March 8, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Wise Owls at Foxley Nursery for a year and a half now and I can honestly say that he loves his time there. He runs down the lane every morning and can’t wait to get in the door. He enjoys telling me what they’ve done each day and I love hearing what he’s learnt. He’s due to start school in September 2021, so it’s really reassuring that he is being prepared for that in one way or another, even if he doesn’t realise it. The outdoor space is fantastic and my son particularly loves the forest school element. It’s nice to know that he’s getting outside at some point of the day, come rain or shine. The staff are all so lovely, always very friendly, caring and helpful.

March 11, 2021 at 12:00 amVery friendly and helpful staff looked after our little boy since his second birthday. Since then, he became very independent and gained lots of new skills. Wise Owls at Foxley Nursery is a highly recommended local nursery. Well done Foxley.

March 19, 2021 at 12:00 amWise Owls staff have been great with my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Always smiling, always communicating with me. Love the outdoor space for the children. Inside is also a lovely space for the children to play in. Very happy child as a result of all the hard work of staff at Wise Owls.

May 14, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff at Wise Owls have been fantastic whilst settling my little girl into nursery life. She comes home every day smiling and keen to show us she’s learning new things. The manager and her staff have been wonderful and always giving us updates on what she’s been up to all day, what she’s had for lunch, what books she’s read etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wise Owls to anyone.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amAfter doing some research into local nurseries in the area suitable for my little boy who was 7 months old at the time, Wise Owls at Foxley came up and really stood out for me because of its set-up and offering from babies through to pre-school age. I loved the location of the nursery in the countryside and there’s a lot of focus on time being spent outside which really appealed to me. My little boy started at 9 months old and despite being born into lockdown it didn’t take him long to settle in there and now he squeals with excitement when he arrives. The manager and nursery nurse really helped both me and him during the settling in process, letting me be there to start with and then keeping me updated with how he was getting on and continue to do so now. They’re fantastic with the children, they do so much with them – loads of interesting activities and games to help them thrive whilst caring for them at the same time. Very pleased with our choice of Wise Owls.

November 24, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son attends the preschool and my little girl is in the little owls, they both run in each morning as they love it so so much. All the staff are incredible and really look after each child and their individual needs. I really can’t thank them all enough as they make our week so much better as we know they are not only having a great time but also learning so much in a fun and outdoor way!
We would highly recommend wise owls to everyone and are happy to chat with anyone thinking of joining!

July 14, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending since January and she loves coming each afternoon! She screams with excitement as we ring the doorbell. She settled in very quickly and has gained a great relationship with all the staff. They have a great range of activities and she especially loves the outside area! Thank you to all the staff for all the hard work they continue to do you’ve all been amazing!

August 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Foxley Nursery for five months now, and we couldn’t be happier! She was 11 months when she started, and I was so nervous as she’d only ever been looked after by myself and her Dad, so I was worried about the change. All the staff made me feel at ease and really helped with that transition period. Five months on, and the bond she has with the staff is so lovely to see, the care they give is second to none, and my little one comes out beaming each day; she absolutely loves her time there! The setting is so lovely and personal, they do lots of great activities, and the staff really care for the children and are so enthusiastic about their development; I honestly could not recommend this nursery more, and I am more than happy to chat with anyone thinking of joining! Thank you to all at Foxley!
