Day Nurseries Owned by YMCA Dulverton Group in Devon

My son started at Wooden House in May 2026 at 12 months. I, like all new parents, was nervous at first how he would cope within the setting and away from me, but he settled beautifully. His key workers have been amazing, providing him with attention and comfort. He now goes to them with open arms each morning. I receive updates daily on the variety of activities he gets up to with his new friends, many of which i would not be able to replicate at home. The baby/toddler room has its own covered garden area, which he loves exploring. I have frequent discussions about his development with his key workers and any areas of support for him are actively worked on in the setting. The office staff at Wooden House are also very supportive, always there to help with finance questions and providing updates for parents on anything from road closures to activity days.

We absolutely love wooden house! Two of our children have been there for 2+ years and have been exceptionally well cared for. Our child with many allergies has been meticulously looked after, staff going above and beyond to ensure she isn't left out of anything because of it. The ladies who look after them are not only friendly and lovely, but professionals who clearly take great pride and care in what they do. We love the mix of experienced, and newly qualified key workers as it brings lots of energetic, fun and educational activities for the children. I also love that we take our own packed lunch, so I know they're getting really nutritional food alongside the healthy snacks that nursery provide. Mine LOVE the outdoor play area, which gets regular updates, and the under cover outdoor play area is great as they can still get outside in the fresh air even when it's raining. I can't fault wooden house and would 10/10 recommend them!

Really happy with the Wooden House nursery since our son started in February. The staff are very friendly and clearly care for the children. My son comes home content and when I pick him up I can sometimes see him playing happily in the room. The nursery is kept clean and tidy and the staff will always try to accommodate your asks.

Wooden House is a fantastic nursery which provides a nurturing environment for children to flourish.

The staff have been incredibly supportive throughout a challenging transition for us all.

We love attending this nursery and would recommend to anyone.

Good communication between staff and parents, great updates throughout the day!

My daughter, Norah attends Wooden House three days a week. She receives such wonderful care from her key worker and all staff in her room. They are all attentive, engaging and greet her with smiles and excitement each morning. Norah looks forward to attending and always lets us know what she's done, how much she played. I can't fault the setting. Communication is first class, and like previously stated the care is exceptional.

Our son joined wooden house in September and it has been a huge success. A lovely small group with lots of interaction with our key worker, we are always informed about his progress and any concerns. He loves all the activities they do daily and getting outside! We couldn't be happier with the experience an it has made my return to work so much easier.

My daughter loves going to Wooden House - ever since she started going we have had no problems with her at drop off and she goes to the staff with her arms outstretched and doesn't look back. I think that says it all! She loves being there, the staff are super diligent and the fact they have dedicated rooms with air con and black out blinds for sleeping is great as I know not all nurseries have this.

My son is very happy at Wooden House Nursery. The staff are extremely caring and nurturing. He loves being outside and the garden and undercover area allows this daily. The activities are varied and helps him his learning ready for school in a fun way.

We are so glad we chose Wooden House for our daughter's nursery. The nursery has a lovely rural setting with amazing outside space for the children to play. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly and are incredibly attentive to all the children's needs. They very much work with the parents to ensure that your child's needs are met. My daughter struggled when she first started at nursery as she was very shy and introverted around people she didn't know or in unfamiliar environments. The staff were amazing at helping her to settle into nursery and within just two weeks, we'd already noticed a big difference. A few months on, and she has blossomed. She has so much more confidence now and loves interacting with new people. We've even had family remark on the change and we feel that Wooden House has played a big part in this. The app is great and it's lovely to see the activities that they plan for the children. They also spend a lot of time outdoors which I love.

Having previously had a childminder and after relocating, this was a big change for our 2 year old - he sometimes finds drop-offs hard, but the team have been brilliant at helping him (and us!) through this. We know he's happy there and really enjoys his days. His communication skills have also come on so much since starting 4 months ago too. We're really glad we chose Wooden House.

We can't say enough about how good wooden house has been for both of are children especially are boy. He started nursery really upset and unsettled but now he will happily run in and enjoy himself. They support both our children when they had to adjust to having a new brother at home. There so welcoming and nothing seem to be a problem. The outside space is brilliant especially when you've got children who love going outside also the new room set ups are outstanding. They've made the whole nursery experience a lot more easier especially with all the updates throughout the day, it feels like an extension to our family.

As parents, we've always felt informed and supported. Nursery staff are approachable, open and happy to talk about his day or answer any questions. We would recommend Wooden House to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive childcare setting.

Wooden House Nursery is such a wonderful and caring setting for our little girl. She took a while to settle and find her feet, but the staff have been so supportive and really helped the process. We feel like the nursery is an extension of our family. Staff are always super welcoming. The new building is awesome and I love the undercover outside area, so the children can always be outside what ever the weather. The changes they are making to the setting are all positive. Thank you for making the nursery experience feel easy.

We love Wooden House and the team that work there. A few minutes' drive from Tiverton town centre, the nursery offers so much more outside space than other nurseries in the town due to its rural setting. We get regular updates on our daughter's day through the app. Wooden House is an excellent nursery; we're so glad that we chose it.

We honestly couldn't be happier with this brilliant little nursery!

My son absolutely adores all the staff at wooden house. As someone who has to travel for work it's really reassuring to know that my little boy is happy when I'm not there. The facilities are brilliant and the activities the kids do are great. They have an app where the photos of the day are uploaded and your invoices are uploaded making everything easy to use and traceable. I couldn't recommend woodenhouse more.

Highly recommend.

Our daughter started at Wooden House in June 2025 and is thoroughly enjoying herself. She settled in really quickly and is very happy to go with all the great members of staff. We enjoy seeing the photo updates of what they get up to each day and grateful to the staff for communicating with us each day.

The lovely staff have been fantastic at supporting my son's transition to Wooden House nursery. They have taken the time to get to know and understand him and he is happy at drop off and pick up. I know he is having a great day when there and is being well looked after. We love seeing the daily photos and they are always up to something fun. They have a fantastic outdoor space as well, which is such a bonus. They support him in his development and help him in meeting his milestones, as well as keeping us up to date in how he's getting on! Thank you!
