Very happy with Eyrescroft as a setting. My son really enjoys his time there. The staff are incredibly supportive and always make time to talk to myself when dropping off or collecting.
Its an ideal setting for a child who is used to being at home, as mine was, due to the homey feel, care of the
staff and amount of children.
I would highly reccomend.

Reply from Sue Achurch, Manager at Stars Preschool EyrescroftThank you so much for this great review and we are so pleased that you feel the setting is so wonderful. We love the new and improved building and we are looking forward to developing the large garden spaces over the next few months. The children will be involved in lots of growing and caring for plants and looking after the wildlife we have around the setting. We are so lucky to have such a large open space for them to play and learn in. Thank you again and we look forward to sharing the setting with you on the open days which are coming up again very soon.

Hello, I just surprising nice new place can't provide rugs by the doors to collect all the dirt what people and children are bringing when coming in the morning or afternoon.

The team are incredible, approachable, and genuinely caring. It's clear they truly love what they do, and that shows

in how comfortable and happy the children are. The range of activities is fantastic always engaging, creative, and well thought out and it's lovely to see how much our child is learning while having so much fun.

Woodlands is a fantastic nursery. My older son and two nieces attended in the past and all had great experiences. My younger son goes now and absolutely loves it. The staff are so kind, approachable, and genuinely caring with the children. They always create such imaginative, engaging activities and
share lovely updates, photos and descriptions throughout the day so you always feel connected. We choose to travel further, even though there are nurseries closer to home, because the wonderful atmosphere and high standard of care at Woodlands are unmatched. Thank you so much to all of the ladies for everything you do.

We have been so impressed with the team and learning environment at Shining Stars. Our son has learnt so much in terms of his vocabulary, counting, and independence. The facilities are clean and engaging, and they spend a great amount of time outdoors, which my son loves. I also appreciate the transparent

Moving our little boy to "The Woodlands" has been the best decision. He previously had a bad experience at another nursery and it took a very long time and multiple nursery visits to find a place where he really settled and I felt comfortable with leaving him.
The staff here have shown such kindness
and patience towards him which has enabled his confidence to really grow. It is heart warming to see how much he now loves attending nursery and looks forwards to spending his days with familiar faces filled with such a huge variety of activities.
I can't thank the staff enough for their fantastic approach to settling him in - no matter how long that took!
We receive regular communications from the nursery regarding what they've been up to during their days too which is so great.


If I could give more than 5 stars I could! A fantastic place to send your little one.

We could not be happier with our daughter's experience at The Woodlands. From the moment she started, she has felt safe, secure and genuinely happy there. She absolutely adores the nursery ladies and it is clear how much they care about every child. She has made so many lovely friends and talks about
them all the time at home. The range of activities is fantastic, with plenty of variety that supports learning, creativity and confidence while still being lots of fun. Every day feels thoughtfully planned and engaging. Communication with home is excellent and we always feel well informed and reassured about her day, her progress and her wellbeing. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing she is so well looked after in such a warm, nurturing environment. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of The Woodlands and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Our daughter has settled into Woodlands nursery so quickly. I had some worries about her starting nursery, but she has taken to it so well, she runs up to the door in the morning and is in so fast!
It's lovely to see the updates from the staff in the app, and collecting her at the end of the day,
we get told what she's been up to with her friends, and it's always been a busy day.
The staff are so attentive to her needs, offering support with development, such as starting potty training, but also her love of books and messy play. You can tell how much the staff love her, especially her Key Worker.
I'm so happy that we found Woodlands, and already want our newborn to attend when the time comes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my daughter started this nursery she has gained so much more confidence, she's a very outgoing mini human and the woodlands really do push her to keep being herself rather then toning it down. My daughter comes home grinning ear to ear and talks about how much of a good day she's had and how the
girls (staff) all care about her and her friends.
The care that the staff give to the children is outstanding, I'm so grateful for them.
One thing that has really stuck with my daughter is knowing the emergency phone number and when/how to use it. The staff have really put in 100% of their time and effort into really teaching our future generation real life skills.
My daughter has also struggled with her eating since being a year old (now 4) and nothing would help her try new foods, however since being at the woodlands she's tried so many new foods and has started asking for it at home too.

Since our son started at The Woodlands Nursery we have seen a massive improvement in all areas of his development. He's welcomed every morning by a lady from from his room, he happily says goodbye and walks in.At home he chats about all of the special ladies and recaps his day. He just beams going and
gets excited when we park up for drop off. They provide a wide range of activities to meet the developmental milestones. Also extra days out, trips and special visits from outside companies. We've been beyond happy since he started and we can't wait to see him flourish.

My daughter has been going to Woodlands for about half a year now after her old one was closed by Ofsted. It was a really worrying time for me and my husband as we had our trust broken by the old one. However our trust and faith was restored when we started sending our child to Woodlands. They do so
much with the children and feed them properly especially nutritionally, we love seeing the whole day on the app where we are kept up to date all the time. Our daughter doesn't even say good bye to us she goes straight in. We love the activities they plan on the days she goes in. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the childcare area itself is always clean and lovely
We are so glad we fount woodlands as we was so nervous from our past experience with our child's other nursery I just wish we had sent her there to begin with. It's just nice to know when I'm at work I know my child is safe and fed properly as well as kept warm and dry in the bad weather .
Reply from Lauren Morris, Compliance manager at The Woodlands Nursery and Pre-schoolThankyou so much for your kind words, we are so glad we have been able to restore your trust and we love looking after your little star :)
