My daughter has loved all her time at Woodberry, from joining at 12 months old through to pre-school. The staff are warm, caring and excellent at providing stimulating activities for the children at all ages. We're looking forward to our son joining them next year.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 2 year old grandson started at Woodberry Nursery and has settled well after some tears at the beginning. He goes for 3 mornings as his parents and myself work. I have been impressed with the staff who work in the 2-3 year old room. They give feedback and reassurance and I feel they show care for
my grandson and all the children. They put out interesting activities and he plays outside every session for some of the morning. Overall, a positive experience.

Review from Matthew D (Father of Child) published on 21 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Woodberry in April 2016, 2 afternoons a week before going 3 days full time in September 2016 when I went back to work. The acceleration in his speech since then has been fantastic. The staff there are fantastic, especially my son's key worker who he absolutely adores. He is just so
happy there. He plays well, sleeps well, behaves (all the things he is less likely to do at home) and eats well. He is thriving at Woodberry and has become far more outgoing in the last 3 months. He plays better with other children outside of nursery and is well mannered and shows good emotional understanding which is definitely down to the great team at Woodberry. They all enjoy the job which you can see in their eyes.

My daughter has been attending for over 2 years now. We couldn't be happier as parents. The standard of care is very high. Everyone is caring and very interested and involved. We are kept well informed of her development as well as everything else going on in the nursery. Most importantly my daughter
LOVES IT!!! She can't wait to go every day and has made a lot of friends.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been at Woodberry Day Nursery for the past 3 years. Our experience of care has been mixed but on the whole very good. His last year in preschool has been particularly good which we really think has a lot to do with his key carer. She has built a fantastic relationship with both our son and
his parents. She has really brought out all the positives in our sons development, so much more than other key carers in earlier years.

My daughter has been at this nursery for a couple of years and overall I find the nursery excellent and I can see a great improvement in my daughter's skills. The staff are always welcoming and helpful, with new mums like me with the little ones.

My son has attended Woodberry's preschool for over a year now and we have been consistently pleased. There is a caring, happy and positive atmosphere in the nursery and the staff have gone out of their way to get to know our son as an individual and to help his confidence and development in a very
personalised way. The activities programme is also very good and prepares the children well for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely bright and friendly staff who love the babies. My daughter lights up as soon as she sees them! Lots of educational activities and messy play which my daughter has fun taking part in every week. The staff were very supportive with my return to work and helped me do a phased return to work. Everything
is catered for and the facilities are wonderful for babies. I'm very glad I choose Woodberry for my little girl.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 2 year old son has been attending the nursery since Oct 2014. From the moment I stepped into the nursery, I have never seen a member of staff with a grumpy or unhelpful attitude. Staff are always smiling and always willing to help. The manager, deputy manager, team leader and key worker have been
absolutely amazing. My son absolutely adores his key worker. I'm really happy with the progress my son has made since he joined, and would definitely recommend to others.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.638)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.638) out of 10 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Winchmore Hill) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.638 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Winchmore Hill) is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.638
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodberry Day Nursery (Winchmore Hill) is based on 23 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
