April 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Wollaton House Day Nursery since she was a year old and seems to love it! The staff have all been amazing and my daughter is always happy to see them (sometimes so much she forgets to say bye to me!). Parents’ evenings are every 6 months and are really useful, but any questions between this are always answered with no problems.

June 6, 2022 at 12:00 amI’d done a lot of research on nurseries beforehand and came across Wollaton House as firstly having an Ofsted report but also some great reviews on this site. The manager and the team are just amazing and clearly so caring towards my child and passionate about her development. The care they give her is incredible, to the point where my child loves going to nursery and doesn’t even wave bye to me anymore!
All in all, this is a great nursery with a great sense of community.

July 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started at Wollaton House in July 2021 and due to moving out of the area recently, we had to make the tough decision to move to another nursery. We definitely didn’t want to as he loved it so much! As a lockdown baby, he found the first few months particularly difficult but he got settled in and all the staff were very reassuring. There is a real sense of family among the staff as some have worked there for many years. They are definitely old school with everything done on paper, however, emails are responded to extremely promptly and nothing is too much trouble. At Christmas, we were surprised with a beautiful book containing lots of arts and crafts that our son had done in the year. Talking to other friends whose children go to larger nurseries, this isn’t very common as they don’t always have the time to do these things. We were very touched. Overall, the staff are very loving and caring towards the children and they nurture their interests through play and learning.

August 13, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth our children went to this nursery. You couldn’t ask for a better nursery – it’s like you drop them off to family, the care is so good. They set clear behaviour standards for the children and make everything fun, so the ideal combination. They prepare the children really well for school. I think the fact that the owner’s son goes to the nursery is a testament to how it is run and the family ethos. There’s been continuous investment over the years into the building and equipment. The majority of staff have been there for several years so there is a very low staff turnover – again creating that loving family environment. I know several people who’ve stayed in touch with the nursery long after their children have left. Nursery is not cheap – but you get what you pay for and I wouldn’t hesitate to make this investment in our two children’s start in life again at Wollaton House Day Nursery.

August 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMost things I liked about the nursery:
– Picking up a happy child from nursery as she had an enjoyable time there with lots of activities.
– Easy communication with the staff and receiving feedback from staff.
– All the staff are motivated and guided by a dedicated manager.
– English is our second language and I have never felt that this was an issue at nursery.

August 31, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have sent both our children to this nursery and have been highly impressed with the standard of care they received. A lot of thought and attention is put into the kids’ development through the age ranges, with special attention being on prepping the kids for primary school. The staff are friendly and approachable and more than happy to have a (very) quick chat about the kids at drop-off and pick-up time. Regular parent evenings keep you up to date with your child’s progression through the key learning stages. You are kept up to date with the events and procedures surrounding the nursery and they try to involve the parents as much as possible. I think the fact both our children were more than happy to go there is probably the best endorsement we can give.

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amWe chose Wollaton House Day nursery while we were still in South Africa (about to immigrate to the UK). The manager was just so lovely and informative on the phone and spent 45 minutes taking me through every detail and making me feel comfortable. My sister went to view the premises on our behalf and immediately fell in love with the homely feel and the lovely people, so the decision was made! We have felt so comfortable and supported by the entire team and they took extra special care of our son due to the circumstances of moving and the big change all around for him! 2 months later and he is walking himself into school each morning with no tears and telling us how he loves his friends and the staff! Best decision ever!

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amAbsolutely outstanding nursery.
Everybody is so lovely and welcoming to our son.
He just loves to go there so much that we added an extra day for him to enjoy it there.
He always comes out with a smile on his face.
Definitely recommend it!

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amAt Wollaton House Day Nursery the staff are very kind and friendly. I feel safe and secure leaving my daughter at nursery and my daughter is always happy when I leave. Any problems or concerns, the manager has always been helpful. When my daughter started Wollaton House I was very upset and nervous, but the manager was very comforting and ensured me I can contact the nursery anytime and as often as I like to make me feel at ease.
Wollaton House Day Nursery is always clean and tidy and I have no worries with hygiene. I have no faults to say and I highly recommend Wollaton House Day Nursery to any person considering a place for their child.

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have sent our son to Wollaton House Day Nursery for nearly two years now and I am so impressed with his development in communication since being with the nursery. I love that I always pick up a happy child every day, always excited to tell me about his day. I would never consider an alternative nursery.

November 14, 2022 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery.
Actively encouraged us to check out some other local nurseries first to ensure that we would be happy to go with Wollaton House which we liked. Lots of time talking us through how things work and what they do, both my wife and I were really impressed and glad we ended up choosing this nursery.
Our son has really thrived since he started here three months ago. Great feedback when he’s been in for the day and always leaves with a huge smile on his face.
Cannot fault communication. They were great when he first started, accommodating multiple phone calls from ourselves checking how our son was getting on and have been great in helping us deal with potential allergies etc.
I’d have no issues in recommending this nursery to anyone else and I am excited to see what the next few years bring.

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amFrom day one the nursery have welcomed my daughter with open arms. Their confident and professional yet caring and loving approach has brought her out of her shell! Placing equal importance on fun and play along with strong values, good behaviour and formal education, the nursery has enabled my daughter to start school with confidence! The meals are well-varied and cultured, encouraging the children to try different flavours. We have felt that our daughter has been a part of a large family at Wollaton House and we will be forever grateful for the early years that she spent at the nursery!

January 25, 2023 at 12:00 amAs a new mum, my worry was always when the time finally came to letting our little one start nursery, whether or not she would be happy and feel safe and loved. I have never had to worry a day about any of those things since she started at Wollaton House Day Nursery. Our little one has attended the nursery for nearly a year now and loves her time there. She learns so much and has developed so well into herself. The staff are wonderful, very helpful and have been collaborative with every stage of her development. It takes a village to raise little ones and Wollaton House Day Nursery has been that perfect village for us!

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been in Wollaton House since August. Since then she has always loved her time there. Receiving the little Christmas pack with all her activities and ‘artwork’ was a lovely touch and great to see.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amA fantastic setting where my daughter has thrived. She loves going to nursery here. The manager and the team are wonderful – they keep us informed of everything we need to know and there is a genuine passion evident for seeing the little ones thrive.
Whenever I have had any questions, they have been prompt to reply.
My little girl is very happy here.

January 30, 2023 at 12:00 amWonderful Nursery!
I feel confident that my one-year-old is safe and well cared for at this nursery. Staff are always very helpful and willing to answer any queries you may have to put your mind at ease. My little boy is happy being handed over in the morning and is cheerful when we pick him up. We always get a summary of how his day has been or any key developments he has shown.
The manager is always providing useful updates, even local road work alerts that could affect your commute!
This place has a lovely homely and family feel which makes leaving him there so much easier. Would highly recommend.

May 18, 2023 at 12:00 amOur second son is now at Wollaton House and has been at the nursery for 6 months. He has settled so well and our rapport with the Wollaton House staff is excellent. Our first son left to go to school last year and talks positively and very fondly to his brother, about his time and experiences at Wollaton. The communication between the manager and us is so easy and effective and the team have all been great caring for our children. We wouldn’t want our children anywhere else, our third son will hopefully be attending in due course too.
Hopefully, that says it all in terms of how much we trust the setting and appreciate them.
Thank you all.

July 16, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son joined Wollaton House Day Nursery in February 2023. This was the best decision we made. All staff have shown love and care towards him, they have taken time to get to know him as an individual and have provided him with opportunities to flourish.
My son loves attending each day and has made good friends with his peers. He has been given a range of experiences and opportunities to support and challenge his learning and feedback about the progress he has made has been excellent.
Communication from the team is fantastic and as parents we feel fully informed. If we have any questions they are always responded to quickly.
As a parent I cannot recommend this setting highly enough, they have welcomed us as a family and provided invaluable support. Our little boy will be leaving at the end of August with lots of happy memories and a bank of knowledge and skills that have prepared him for his next adventure in ‘big’ school.

July 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 4-year old daughter moved to Wollaton House after her previous nursery closed down. They welcomed her and settled her in quickly. She has been there for 4 months now and has come on leaps and bounds with her writing and maths, ready for starting school in September. It is an excellent nursery, great manager and long-term staff, lovely setting and strong emphasis on getting the children ready for school. We are so pleased our daughter has had these few months there and made new friends. We feel it was a blessing in disguise and would highly recommend this nursery to others.

August 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy granddaughter joined this nursery in February 2022. She is leaving soon to start school in September.
I am overwhelmed by the care and attention given at this nursery. My granddaughter has made terrific progress both educationally and socially and settled in so well and so quickly. Her confidence is much improved and she looks forward to going to nursery every day.
A huge thank you to all of the staff making a big difference in the lives of our little ones.
