Our children are just coming to the end of their time at Wishing Well and we are all so sad. Both children have been going to Wishing Well for over 7 years now and they have loved every minute of it. As parents the friendliness, professionalism and compassion of Linda and the team has been amazing. The children are always engaged through play, songs, crafts and learning at all ages. The on site kitchen and chef means they are well fed with home cooked meals which they adore. The activities on offer for the after school and holiday clubs are good value and both my children have loved going. I cannot praise Linda and the amazing team enough and we are truely sad that our children are now getting too old to attend. Thank you to the whole wishing well team.

I had a pleasure of enrolling my child in the nursery, and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted by a team of warm and friendly staff who immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. The management of the nursery is truly exceptional, with a clear focus on providing the best possible care and support for each child. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive. One of the things that impressed me most about the nursery is their commitment to creativity and innovation. Not only do they offer a wide range of activities and experiences for the children, including yoga sessions, but they also encourage them to explore their imaginations and express themselves freely. The staff at the nursery are simply wonderful - caring, attentive, and dedicated to the wellbeing of each child. They are always on hand to offer support and guidance, and they make a real effort to build strong relationships with both the children and their families. I was particularly impressed by the nursery's outdoor woodland area, which provides the perfect setting for children to connect with nature and enjoy outdoor play. It's clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into creating this space, and it's a real asset to the nursery. In addition to their regular activities, the nursery also goes the extra mile to organise special events and celebrations throughout the year, such as Nativity plays, open days, and Mother's Day events. These occasions not only bring the nursery community together but also provide valuable opportunities for the children to learn and grow. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our experience at the nursery. The staff are friendly and supportive, the management is top-notch, and the facilities are fantastic. I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.

A loving, nurturing and fun environment for babies and children. My children have both attended this nursery and I would highly recommend for parents seeking childcare. It's clear that all members of the team are passionate about providing exceptional care and work closely with parents to ensure they get to know each child on a personal level and tailor their care to suit individual needs. My children have always been very happy here and I have absolute confidence that their care is of the highest standard.

Lovely, approachable, professional and qualified staff. Warm and friendly environment. Good facilities. There’s not many people I’d trust to look after my son but I’d highly recommend this nursery, particularly for anxious parents. They even give parents a care package on the child’s first day, which includes a lovely poem… just don’t read it on a bench in the middle of town like I did!
