July 6, 2016 at 12:00 amWise Owls is a friendly, non-judgemental nursery. The staff are wonderful, and have catered to my child’s needs exceptionally well. He has been welcomed and made to feel like part of the family by staff and children. He loves going there. I will be sad when he leaves in July to start “big school”, but I will happily recommend Wise Owls Nursery to others for years to come.

July 21, 2016 at 12:00 amVery good nursery, staff are friendly and very understanding. My daughter started just after starting potty training and the staff were excellent in helping her minimise accidents. I am always kept up to date with everything involving my daughter and the nursery. Overall I am very pleased with the nursery and how my daughter gets on there.

August 31, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Wise Owls for a number of years, progressing through the baby, toddler and pre-school rooms. We have been really happy with our experience at the nursery. Staff are all excellent and very friendly. They have been very attentive to the changing needs of my daughter in the course of her social and educational development and she has gained a lot of confidence through her interactions with the staff and other children. Staff have taken an active role in supporting my daughter through various transitions such as the arrival of a new sibling, potty training and moving house. As a family, we have found their service invaluable and feel truly sad to be moving on.

February 26, 2020 at 12:00 amThe Wise Owls team are fantastic. Their creativity is amazing – the children always have something new to do and learn. The meals are lovely and it is really clean too.
I wrote the below as a thankyou letter to them:
The children’s interests and learning are so evidently at the heart of what you do – they are encouraged and developed and come home tired, happy and stimulated!
The ways you introduce and teach topics such as voting – by each child having a vote on which story to read – is accessible and fun, whilst also making democracy relevant!
Shopping, cooking, going for walks, going to the college gym and library, as well as Drama Tots are all great additions to the children’s days. The Chinese New Year gifts were so thoughtful too.
All of the staff are so kind, fun and engaged in coming up with ideas which benefit the children it’s really impressive. You also, as a team seem to have an ethos of ‘going above and beyond’ which is really noticeable and much appreciated.

August 6, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son blossomed here!
He developed above and beyond in every aspect. I’m currently pregnant and have already booked my babies place to ensure they get in.
The staff are highly professional but have such a caring nature to every child that we both cried when he left!
I cannot recommend highly enough; the staff are the heart of this nursery.

August 11, 2020 at 12:00 amFabulous nursery. Daughter went there from 9months old and son there for 8months prior to COVID. Children loved it and formed brilliant relationships with all staff especially keyworkers. Management are brilliant, good communication and also spoke directly to myself if needed. Daughter is now going to school and the only reason I have pulled my son out is to make the school run easier as we live the opposite side of town to the nursery. I always recommended this nursery.

September 25, 2020 at 12:00 amOk, so in the first instance, I should declare some minor bias in that I work for the college this nursery is connected to. However, I wouldn’t write a review unless I felt it was sincere and integral to our experience.
Our daughter has been at Wise Owls from baby to school. Through that time she has blossomed into a beautiful young girl who is now ready and thriving in her new school. We have been nothing but impressed and blessed by Wise Owls and the staff. They are warm, caring and professional to the core. I am convinced my daughter’s experience at Wise Owls has equipped and nurtured her for school and life beyond. She’s been able to learn and develop via the care and attention of the staff, alongside the life-giving culture they foster. We have seen things like potty training, language, social skills all develop and grow through her time at Wise Owls.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough and we feel a tinge of sadness that our daughter is now at school!

August 17, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Wise Owls since he was 12 months and has always been happy there. He is encouraged to be creative, and the support that he has received means that he is now confident and well equipped for school.

August 17, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is a caring and passionate nursery full of wonderful individuals who care greatly for your child. They arrange lots of different activities and experiences for the children and communicate well with parents. The surroundings aren’t the greatest, but the kids loved it, and the staff make it the best it can possibly be. The place is kept exceptionally clean, and the food is really lovely with a wide variety. Thank you, Wise Owls, for looking after my 2-children for over 4-years. Sad to say goodbye.

September 27, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loved his time here. The staff are extremely caring and supportive and the communication is second to none. My son came on in leaps and bounds and was fully prepared for primary school. I highly recommend this nursery to any prospective parent.

October 4, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son has been coming to this nursery for over 12 months and he has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are so caring and really try to ensure the children have the best experience. We feel confident that he is having the best day while we work as he comes home every day really happy.

October 4, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter attended for two years. She excelled academically and the staff were mostly caring and friendly.
Only criticism is the lacking in providing dietary options for a dairy-free or reduced dairy diet.
Sometimes breakfast wasn’t suitable as they didn’t have dairy-free milk or ran out of bread.
Lunch options were mostly OK, however tea and dessert options weren’t up to standard.
Sandwiches were usually jam as they didn’t have meat, and the only other option was cheese.
The dessert options were mostly just jelly, when other children were offered a range of foods such as icecream, even after I sent in my own dairy-free alternatives at the start.
Had this issue been smoothed out after the many times that I raised the concern, I may have scored the nursery higher.
It isn’t nice to constantly hear your child come home saying she couldn’t have something as it will hurt her tummy. Not a good start to a little one’s development, being worried that there’s not much she can eat.

July 7, 2023 at 12:00 amMy boy goes to this nursery and has been going since October 2022 (started at 8 months old).
He absolutely loves the staff and runs in every morning to get his breakfast, he always comes out with a big smile on his face!
All the staff at Wise Owls are very friendly, professional and welcoming.
My child has gained so much confidence in his speech and social skills, l would 100% recommend it to anyone.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has just started at this nursery. I think the staff are wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. My daughter is dairy free and there is always plenty of choice. I love seeing her process and photos on the app. I feel reassured when sending her to this nursery, she is being well looked after.
