The Wentworth Club is a privately owned golf club and health resort in Virginia Water, Surrey, and has been the home of golfing champions since 1926. The club embodies the true ethos of a country club for all the family and wants to ensure that children enjoy their visits as much as their parents do.

The Club had to close its crèche during the Covid19 pandemic. When the time came to reopen it, Wentworth wanted to ensure that everyone could be confident that it was a fully compliant facility. They did their research and awarded the management contract to My Ohana, knowing that it would be in very safe hands. We took over the management of the Wentworth crèche in January 2021 and now run the service 5 days a week, 52 weeks of the year.
