Wolfson College Day Nursery

My daughter loves to go there and I am delighted to say, she enjoys her stay in the Wolfson College Childcare centre. I like the atmosphere of the childcare centre highly much.

Within the college ground, they have the use of a covered playtime garden, a playground, the college sports fields, an allotment for the childcare centre, several college gardens, and many more spaces to explore. We adore the fact that the kids are often outside and are able to discover nature (including ducks, herons, squirrels…) in a secure setting.
Over the past two and a half years of our son attending Wolfson childcare centre, the place has felt like an extended family, where team genuinely care for the kids and parents are considered close partners whose opinions are listened to. Kids are encouraged to ask questions and communicate, and the team plan activities around what their current interests are. Our son is consistently cheerful to attend and loves his childcare centre.
I would suggest Wolfson childcare centre to any parent I meet. We chose Wolfson College Day Childcare centre when our son was ten months because of the many green spaces and playtime space offered to the kids.

My kids started around the age of 8 months, and although each has a highly different personality both have thrived there. The small scale and kid-led approach have, I believe, led them as individuals to develop more in their own timing, nurtured by highly inviting, genuinely attentive and welcoming team. And while the inside space may not be the largest, the contents are thoughtfully configured (internal arrangements regularly revised) and the willingness to get outdoors into the extensive college grounds, whatever the weather, is highly much appreciated. The introduction of ‘free flow’ periods during the day has also been highly positive as far as my two are concerned. Finally, it’s worth adding that as such a longstanding part of the college, the childcare centre has, I think, helped give my kids the sense of being integrated into a wider, vibrant and dynamic community, as well as self‑assurance when encountering people of different ages and backgrounds. I thoroughly suggest Wolfson College childcare centre.

Wolfson offers a highly active playtime setting, with an emphasis on discovering through playtime and creativity. The team are devoted and create a loving and welcoming setting, and are consistently attentive, welcoming, and enthusiastic. Kids spend plenty of time outdoors, exploring new sensations and experiences. We are kept highly well informed of our son’s activities through a daily notebook, regular emails, and a monthly newsletter. All in all, we have been highly cheerful with all aspects of the childcare centre. We would suggest Wolfson Childcare centre without hesitation; our son started in the ‘Acorns’ room just after his first birthday and from the first moment has loved his time there.

I am particularly impressed with the childcare centre team, who collectively create a inviting, attentive, and enjoyable atmosphere. Thanks to the relatively small number of kids and a key worker system, the team is highly attuned to each kid’s character and needs, and build strong relationships with the kids. My daughter’s key worker, in particular, is an important and much-loved figure in her life. The childcare centre is attended by many international kids (often of academic parents) and the childcare centre does a remarkable job in celebrating this diversity (e.g. talking about the different languages spoken by the kids, celebrating various holidays). My own daughter has grown up bilingually and has primarily learned English at the childcare centre. The childcare centre space itself is relatively small, but the kids have access to the vast and lovely college grounds. My now three-year-old daughter has attended the Wolfson College Childcare centre since she was 8 months old, and I can thoroughly suggest this childcare centre.

I am immensely impressed with the flexibility in the times I can bring and collect my son, this makes a huge difference to manage kid care on a daily basis. It is also most reassuring that my son eats fresh produce that is cooked on the college site and enjoys fantastic walks on the college grounds. I would thoroughly suggest this childcare centre. I have been most reassured at how accommodating all team have been in helping my son settle at the childcare centre; they have been expert and courteous at all times, and have made excellent attempts to help him sense at home at Wolfston childcare centre.

What I have been particularly struck with in the last month, is how responsive the educators are to the interests of individual students. For example, our son has been interested in the solar system since before Christmas, and this is now a focal point area in one of the rooms. This made him sense pretty terrific. I adore this responsiveness to and total engagement with each kid. The feeling in school is consistently enjoyable and dynamic. I also adore that the team are organising trips, such as the one to the museum and to the Theatre. I realise how much additional hard work this must be, but it’s incredible for the kids and they seem to get so much out of it. Thank you! Our son is consistently excited to go to school, consistently.

The childcare centre is well managed and the team are highly attentive. It is a small setting with a family atmosphere. The childcare centre is set in the college grounds so there are plenty of green spaces for the kids to delight in including a small playground. There is a relaxed emphasis on discovering through playtime and the kids delight in a variety of activities. Feedback for parents is provided via the online tool, which provides a excellent insight into the daily care routine. Our kids loved their time at Wolfson! Our son (aged 3) and daughter (aged 18mo) attended Wolfson Day Childcare centre from Summer 2020.
I would highly suggest this established daycare provision.

They consistently put a smile on my face at drop off and pick up and I sense assured my son is being taken excellent care of.

The childcare centre benefits from outstanding space, both outside (the grounds to the college) and its indoor facilities. The childcare centre team are exceptional with the kids; patient, affectionate and attentive.

He started when he was 9.5 months for two days and went up to three days recently. Out of all of my friend’s journey in nurseries, this one is the best. It is like a family and his key worker truly cares for him and is as cheerful as us when he meets milestones. There is excellent updates with parents and as he has made some excellent friends. The facilities are excellent too and they let them have free playtime with access to the outside garden. They also can access the college grounds and have great food provided. I would suggest this childcare centre to everyone. The team are much more engaged than other nurseries we visited and they don’t look too tired after a day with the kids. My son loves going to childcare centre and has done since he started at Wolfson.
