Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has been a god sent. Having tried another one before, I have only amazing things to say about Woodlands! My now 3 year old has been going there since she was 6 months old and adaptation and transition between rooms has been great, staff make sure children feel happy and supported. More
than just trained, staff are so attentive and affectionate towards children, and take real pride and responsibility in the care they deliver. Woodlands nursery offers a range of opportunities as sportynastics, access to Spanish classes, day trips, holiday clubs and I look forward to this year's Nativity show! They also have a lending Library, which is a favourite for my little one. They are flexible and will listen and act on parents concerns promptly. They promote healthy habits and routines whilst prioritising the child's individual needs. Thank you to all the staff for their amazing work. My child looks forward to coming in every day!

Woodlands Nursery is a such a lovely, wonderful, family feel nursery which my daughter who is now 5 loved and still talks about! Now my son, who is 1, is very much enjoying the baby room! All the staff are so friendly & keep you updated on the children's days. I love the photo updates too! Thank you
to all the staff at Woodlands for being fabulous.

This nursery has been amazing from the start, I rang them in sheer desperation as I was due to start a new job and my old nursery suddenly closed down giving me a week to find somewhere new..FOR TWINS. I called at the right time as they had space and the twins settled great better than the old nursery.
One of them has additional needs but is so relaxed there. All the staff are so caring, bubbly and full of lots of energy - I need some of it! Honestly it was the biggest blessing in disguise having to find the twins somewhere new. I wouldn't look back. Bonus for us they even serve halal food something the old nursery didn't. Thank you to all the lovely team from rabbit room, owl room and bumblebees. You're all amazing and thank you for looking after my double trouble x

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery - she happily walks in on her own and hardly looks back! She adores all the staff and even talks about them at home, which shows how much they mean to her. She's come on leaps and bounds since joining, and every member of the team is so warm, approachable,
and welcoming. The facilities are fantastic, both indoors and outdoors, providing lots of opportunities for play and learning. Communication is always great, and they've been incredibly understanding on the few occasions I've been delayed at work. I honestly can't fault this nursery - I'm so glad we chose it and can't wait to continue watching my daughter learn and grow here!

This nursery/preschool is a wonderful environment for children. My Daughter moved across from another nursery setting and I honestly can't thank the team here enough for welcoming her and helping her to settle. All the staff are highly experienced and trust worthy. I am so impressed and so glad I made
the transition. It is also excellent preparation for children who will be going to school in the next 1 to 2 years. The food is always healthy and a good variety. The daily activities are perfect for developing minds. I highly recommend and would like to thank the fabulous team at woodlands!

My youngest started Woodlands Day Nursery in September and has settled in so well thanks to the amazing staff. They're kind, caring, always smiling and welcoming every morning. They are also super supportive with potty training.
They provide a wide range of activities for the children and keep us up
to date via an app which is great! My older son also attended the nursery a few years ago and also loved it! He loves coming back to pick up his little brother and saying hello to all of the staff. You can drop your child off each day knowing that they're being well looked after & cared for which is a huge weight off your mind for any parent!

I could not recommend the Nursery more. My daughter has been so happy there, from day one. From the moment we stepped through the door, it felt like we were leaving her with family. It's so convenient, but even when I am not at work, drop off and pick up is super easy. She loves her days there. She
comes home exhausted with a massive smile on her face, which just tells me she's had the best time!
There is a beautiful outside space, where they spend lots of time in. She is developing so well and I look forward to watching her grow more at the nursery!

Woodlands Day Nursery are absolutely fantastic. My child has thrived there and that is thanks to the amazing staff that work there. They are all super stars. My daughter absolutely loves it and looks forward to going there everyday. They are so caring and supportive towards all their boys, girls and
their parents/carers. They're very good at communicating changes/updates with parents which is great. They are very approachable with any issues/concerns etc The children are well fed. They have a well varied diet with a great mix of food groups. I would very highly recommend this nursery they are amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic attentive and super friendly staff who are always going the extra mile to ensure children's safety and wellbeing. Very engaging with regular communications via the nursery app as well as updates on your children's progress. On-premise kitchen staff means they're always ready to cater for dietary
specifics as well as freshly prepared meals. Decent outdoor space which was recently revamped and will organised for all ages (including sheltered area). Regular daily activities are super accessible and engaging, using as many natural materials/resources as they have at their disposal (leaves, bark, sand, water and more). Testament to this nursery is ultimately, from day one, the children's excitement to go back.

Wonderful nursery, my eldest went there before she started school and still talks about it and misses it! The staff are lovely and friendly - always helpful and happy to talk about anything. My youngest attends now and is so happy when we arrive to see everyone and do fun activities! No complaints at
all. Has a great outdoor space for the kids to run around and play with the outdoor toys and climbing frames etc. Fantastic value for money.

My little one started last year and I've seen my little one develop in so many areas and flourish! The Team even encouraged/supported with potty training which was a lot easier for me this time round. The Team are amazing. We are so grateful to be part of Woodlands Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.710)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.710) out of 10 for Woodlands Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.924 for Woodlands Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.924
  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 4.786 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodlands Day Nursery 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.786
  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.
