My daughter started nursery week before her first birthday. It took her a while to settled in but with the help of all the staff she became more confident with every day. She absolutely loved and adored everyone at wishing well and made loads of friendships. The nursery done a fantastic job with teaching and working on her development. Now being at school she is confident little girl, having loads of friends and progressing really well with her further development. She's still part of the Wishing Well by attending after school club which she loves to bits.
Read on GoogleA fantastic nursery! My son is currently attending, following in his sister's footsteps, and we couldn't be happier. The team is so caring and focuses deeply on teaching the children how to communicate and explore new things. The staff go above and beyond to make the children feel safe and loved—there is always a smile and a cuddle waiting for them. Thank you to the whole team!
Read on Google5* all round. We Wouldn’t send our children anywhere else. My eldest daughter came here around 8 years ago, and now my 2 year old attends. The manager, and staff, upstairs and downstairs are just wonderful. They’re all so kind and make you feel very welcome at drop off and collection times. Nothing is ever to much for them and they are always happy to help. They provide a safe environment for my daughter to feel happy and comfortable. They have excellent activities that engage and challenge my daughter’s development, and as parents we couldn’t be happier.
Read on GoogleEveryone is always hesitant about who will be looking after their child, whether the child will be in good hands and loved how you would love them at home. However, the staff were always reassuring, let me call multiple times a day to check in and never complained once. Thanks to Wishing Well Nursery, my son who has recently been seen to display autism, got the help he needed. They saw his struggles and worked hard along side my son and myself, they went above and beyond to fight for my son to be seen and thank goodness they saw what I didn’t! My son started when he was 2, he is now 6 and absolutely loves to go visit everyone. He couldn’t talk very much at first but now he is non stop, thanks to nursery pushing for him to be seen for speech and language. There is so much more I could write here. I wouldn’t trust another nursery, my daughter now attends the same nursery and still to this day, the nursery support us with whatever we need. 1000% recommend this nursery to anyone, my children loved/love it and all the staff aren’t just in there for the “money”, they’re there through pure love of their roles. I couldn’t be more grateful and happy that I started my children’s journey in this establishment!:)
Read on GoogleThis is a great nursery which my son enjoys going to. It’s been lovely to see him form attachments with staff and know that he is making friends. The staff were great with supporting with potty training and more recently with speech and language. Knowing my son is happy and safe has made the decision to send him to Nursery an easier one.
