Wentworth has many strengths. Their staff are expert, passionate and kind teachers. The nursery has fantastic resources (such as an outdoor mud kitchen and several different indoor play zones) which are cleverly arranged to help children steer their own learning and to have fun. And, of course, the children themselves, who come from a wide range of family backgrounds and who help each other to see the world in different ways. It is these strengths which help the children to become enthusiastic learners with kind hearts.
Parent
Wentworth was among our nearer nurseries when we moved just before the start of the 19/20 academic year. It was the first nursery we visited and we knew, very soon into our tour, that our child would love it there.
Parent
Ben, the headteacher, seemed very kind and we appreciated the effort and passion he put into the tour. We were struck by the fantastic resources, how enthusiastic the staff were with the children and the fun time that all the children were clearly having. It seemed like a place where our child could discover his passions and where he would be safe and valued.
Parent
Local parents and a teacher recommended Wentworth to us. They were really excited about the experiences children had there.
Parent
We went to visit; the inside space was inspiring and my son couldn’t wait to play on the woodworking bench. They were making hot chocolate on a wood fire outside and were pond dipping. I thought ‘THIS is the place!’.
Parent
My son took time settling in and his key worker Alan, took exactly the right approach, making my son feel cared for and secure and at the same time engaging him with exciting activities to show him what Wentworth had in store for him.
Parent
