My husband and I viewed Wyeside Nursery this week and we were very impressed. We were shown around by the deputy principal who was knowledgeable, calm, caring and clearly loved her job. All staff were treated with respect and thanked as they finished for the day. All the children seemed incredibly happy and content; we were there for over an hour and not one child cried or appeared stressed in any way. The children were smiling, waving and 'chatting' to us which was lovely. The staff in each room were calm, warm, welcoming and seemed to adore the children they were working with. The only downside to this nursery is a lack of parking (parking on a residential street) but that certainly won't put us off submitting an application form. What we loved most was the availability of outside space and the value the staff put on getting the children playing outside, in all weathers! Thank you Linda for the time and compassion you gave us.

Wyeside day nursery is a fantastic nursery, my daughter who attends absolutely loves going and the staff are always so welcoming and friendly. The inclusion for my daughter who is sen has been nothing short of amazing!!! All of her needs are met and the staff go above and beyond! Keep up the good work and providing such a fantastic setting for all of the children you should be proud of all of your hard work it definitely shows.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 8 months old and he loves everyday he's here! I have no fears about sending my child to here it's been the best decision I have ever made besides having children of course 🤣 The staff here are super friendly and very attentive at looking after the children. The setting for the nursery is one of the best in hereford they follow all of the government guidelines set out and go far above and beyond them. If you have any doubts about sending your child here I wouldn't, they will have the best of time here plus you will get regular updates on their days at nursery on tapestry so feels like you never miss a moment.

We had a look around wyeside nursery and all I can say is this is a superb setup, very clean, welcoming and professional staff and it’s clear to see why they are so strongly recommended by other parents. All the children looked happy and engaged with the activities and the Barn room and staff stood out as a place I want my children to be, safe hands, fun and educational.

This is a brilliant nursery. My daughter has gone from strength to strength with the support and guidance of her staff. The range of activities they do, and the quality of care is wonderful. I love arriving in the morning and seeing the staff cuddling the children who need it while playing with the more confident ones. The environment is stimulating and interesting. Forest school and baby ballet are favourites for us! They also promote meals, cooked onsite from local ingredients which is hugely helpful for a busy working family. I couldn't reccomend them more highly.
