Small World Kindergarten and Montessori

from Aggy K (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with Small World. The staff are exceptionally professional, warm, and genuinely caring, our children feel safe, supported, and valued. It's clear that a great deal of thought goes into both the educational approach and the emotional wellbeing of every child.
The atmosphere is
loving and supportive, and we've seen such positive growth and confidence in our children since attending, especially L. We feel completely reassured knowing they are in such capable and kind hands each day.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a high-quality, nurturing, and inspiring place for their children.
Reply from Emma White, Director at Small World Kindergarten and MontessoriThank you for your Kind words, it is lovely to see L & J thriving and J especially is getting on brilliantly with transitions to Apples class!

I can highly recommend Small World. My first child went to this setting in the past, so when my little boy has to attend the nursery, I know Small World will be perfect for him. He has multiple food allergies, and I know I can trust Small World that he will be looked after very well. He has easily settled
in and comfortable with the all the staff in Seedlings room, they are all lovely.
Reply from Emma White, Director at Small World Kindergarten and MontessoriThank you, he is s joy to look after, always so bonny!

Smallworld Kindergarten has been wonderful for my child. She initially struggled, but the staff were incredibly caring and supportive, helping her settle in with confidence. Her dietary needs have always been well accommodated, which gives great peace of mind. The children also enjoy fantastic opportunities
to explore local parks and spend time outdoors, which she absolutely loves. We couldn't be happier with the care she's received.

Excellent nursery. Both our children have thrived there and the teachers and staff are wonderful.


Activities are varied and the level of care is brilliant.


We always receive detailed updates during the day via the app and a summary on pick up which is always reassuring.

Small World staff create a calm and caring environment for my son to develop. He has been in the baby room since it opened in September 2025 and is happy every morning at drop off.
His days are filled with a range of activities, time outside in the garden (& the local park in the better weather),
comfortable nap times and good food. He has seconds every day!
I really appreciate the communication I get; daily diaries, photos and regular updates on any issues. The staff are experienced and incredibly kind.
I would, and do, highly recommend Small World to my friends and family.
Reply from Emma White, Director at Small World Kindergarten and MontessoriThank you so much, It has been a joy getting to know your family and watch your son grow. E

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is currently in the hedgehog room and thriving! She is my first and only child and I had a lot of anxiety about sending her to nursery for the first time. I looked at several nurseries and fell in love with Woodlands. They align perfectly with my parenting style and I love the activities
they have available. She spends a lot of time outside exploring and comes home everyday having learned something new and adorable. I appreciate the way each member of staff speaks to me and my child with compassion and care. I also love how I can see just how much each of my daughters teachers adore her! It is a relief to drop her off and know that she is truly cared for and not just a kid they watch. The lunch menu is amazing and my child eats things at nursery she would never eat at home!

The staff are amazing and our children very much enjoy their time at Woodlands. They love the activities on offer. They have both had a noticeable improvement in terms of their vocabulary and social skills since they joined. They are always very happy to go to "school" and as parents we are so pleased
that we don't have to worry.

We couldn't be happier with our son's experience at Small World Kindergarten since he started last September. He is absolutely thriving, always excited to attend, and loves the enriching activities like Forest School and yoga. His confidence has grown tremendously, and it's clear that the staff are
incredibly hardworking, caring, and truly passionate about what they do. Like many parents, we were initially nervous about sending our child to nursery, but this warm and nurturing environment has exceeded all our expectations. We are so grateful we chose Small World!

from E C (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We love Woodlands! The staff have been so lovely and helped our baby to settle quickly - he is now really comfortable and enjoys the routine. He loves going out for a walk everyday, and is eating really well thanks to the tasty meals and snacks that are offered throughout the day. I was worried he wouldn't
nap at nursery but the staff and environment at woodlands have been great and he now does a long nap every day and usually has to be woken up. We also love the classroom facilities - it is lovely for the children to be able to explore the whole space and have such a variety of toys and activities on offer. We also really love the All Sorts Tots class that is held on Thursday mornings. We really feel our son is receiving a high standard of love and care from the staff at Woodlands and the nursery environment has been excellent for his confidence and development.

The staff are exceptionally skilled and attentive, ensuring she receives the best possible care. The range of activities offered keeps her engaged

Small World Kindergarten focus everything they do around the children and families they serve. Our children love attending, the activities and care they receive whilst there are second to none. Communication is clear and prompt, including excellent handovers at the end of each day.
We honestly feel
that our girls are happy and thriving whilst under the staff's care. We have seen huge progress in their personal development and would highly recommend the setting to anyone with young children.
Learning is focused, clearly well organised and purposeful. Each member of staff clearly understand the children they work with and have compassion and love for all children.
There are a wide variety of extra-curricular acitivies that the children can take part in such as forest school, yoga and ballet.
It's a wonderful setting with a very clear purpose.

I was petrified of my daughter going to nursery. She is my first and only child, and a velcro baby from birth. I have been a little bit over a month with this nursery and couldn't sing their praises enough. They somehow can get my daughter to take a nap with ease, when nobody besides me ever has been
able to. They provide healthy meals, which my daughter is happy with (as picky as a toddler can be). Oh and even after a few hours of being at the nursery (settling in sessions) she came back with knowledge I've been trying to get her to know for months. It's safe to say I'll stick with them. My daughter absolutely loves it there.

Both my children are currently attending Small World Kindergarten, one in each age group. The nursery has been amazing in accommodating places for us when we started and it's been a great experience since. The teachers in both groups have been amazing with my little ones and made the adjusting period
as smooth as possible. The two have already learnt so much since attending and it has only been 6 months. I also love the app which is always updated with photos and messages of the fun and educational things they have been up to during the day. Thank you, Small World for taking such good care of our babies!

Small World Kindergarten and Montessori

from Helen P (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Small World in September, aged 11 months. They offered us a settling in period over 4 weeks which really helped us transition to nursery/working-mum life.
She starts the day with a smile and hug with her key worker. And she comes out smiling when we collect her too. She loves
going to Small World.
She has gained more confidence and is developing really well. She is learning so much and often comes home singing a nursery rhyme or pointing out our body parts. She eats really well and the staff helped her transition from 2 naps to 1, they really listened to us and worked alongside us to implement her new routine.
The staff are all really lovely and we really appreciate their feedback on what she has been doing each day. The photos posted on the app give a lovely insight to how happy she is and we can see what she is learning about. We regularly receive a report on her development which is really reassuring.
We definitely made the right choice with Small World.

We've had such a positive experience at this nursery! My daughter has truly bonded with the wonderful staff, and it's clear how much they care for her. Every morning, she's excited to go - it's such a relief knowing she's in such capable and loving hands. Since attending, she's grown so much, both socially
