What Ofsted says about us
Children are happy and settled in this inclusive nursery. The key-person system and settling-in procedures ensure that children settle quickly. Babies benefit from nurturing relationships with staff.
We are very proud of our nursery and think it’s a great place for your child to thrive but don’t just take our word for it, read the reviews left by parents on Google. You can find more in-depth reviews at daynurseries.co.uk.
We've always felt that WPDN was a stimulating and comfortable place for our boys to be - and they're happy to be there too! The supportive environment and range of activities has really nurtured their growth. The nursery is welcoming and when challenges come up for your child - and they will - the staff reinforce what is normal development and work with you to put a plan in place to do what's best for your child, at nursery and at home.
The forest school is a wonderful addition to the pre-school provision. Dan and Teresa do a great job allowing the children to explore outdoors freely and safely. Our son would have been there every day if it were an option!
Nursery is expensive but as a working parent, there's no avoiding it. Dawn and the admin staff do their best to keep the fees as low as they can while ensuring that staff are supported and costs are covered.
I'm glad we still have time on the clock with our youngest because I'm not ready to say goodbye to WPDN yet!
