Fantastic nursery with great family feel, have mentioned it to other parents who now also attend and have similar experiences. Both my children have gone all the way through each room, and genuine love and care is given by every member of staff

The manager and her team at Woodland run a tight ship.


They have offered us brilliant support over the past 2 years and go out of their way to accommodate us.


Our daughter has special needs especially requiring additional support with her feeding. The nursery have been fantastic and we feel

very comfortable knowing she is very well looked after.


We highly recommend woodlands and thank everyone for taking such wonderful care of our daughter.

Review from Sean B (Father of Child) published on 11 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Woodlands full time since she was 4 months old. Having just turned 4 years old, and now look forward to her starting school in September, we have nothing but praise and admiration for how all the staff have cared for our daughter over the years. Care standards have
always been high, and any concerns - no matter how minor - have been addressed to our satisfaction. For example, Woodlands made improvements to the menu to include more fruit as 'pudding', and provide a more 'healthy' menu. Our daughter is known by all the staff, and which she always rates 'everybody' as her favourite!
Our daughter's interests have been nurtured over the years, as well as preparing her for school. They have done an outstanding job in reinforcing the manners and 'social niceties' which we have sought to place in our daughter. I know our daughter sees Woodlands as her 'other home', which she always looks forward to going every day. Thank you, Woodlands.

My son has attended Woodlands Day Nursery for 2 days a week for the last 6 Months since he was a year old, and I can't fault the nursery or staff at all.
It is an incredibly caring environment and my son has come along in leaps and bounds since he has been at Woodlands.
I am so happy with the care
and teaching provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.728)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.728) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Woodford Woodlands Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.811 for Bright Horizons Woodford Woodlands Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.811
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Woodford Woodlands Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
